  1. Re:Bad way to get converts... on Apple to Unveil .Mac Today · · Score: 0

    after .Mac can we expect a similar portal called .Paq?

    This is funny considering where Apple stole the idea for that name from...

  2. Re:Uhhh... on Apple to Unveil .Mac Today · · Score: 1

    One of the major reasons i'm a 'mac zealot' is in part due to the coolness of getting thinks like free iDisk storage and e-mail access. I don't use anything close to the 20mb limit, I think I have like maybe ~100k of stuff on there, but it's nice to have a place to store stuff i'd like to keep for later..

    You know, you could just get a floppy disk (for free probably) to keep all that on and carry around in your briefcase or pocket, that'd be a lot cheaper!

    I'm sure this will get modded as flamebait, but one thing Apple must love about their users - they love to spend excessive amounts of money when they really don't need to!

  3. Re:I am an Apple "Helper" on Apple to Unveil .Mac Today · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think that was the joke, I think we all know the jump from Windows 2000 to XP Pro was not a "major revision" at all. Just some pretty graphics for the kiddies.

    Wow, how dare we try and fix the problem ourselves! Let's just blame the company and continue to use a malfunctioning product!

    Anyway as to why your PC just reboots automatically after a STOP - its a setting in System Properties --> Advanced --> Startup and Recovery.

    Virus bulletin seems to be /.ed, anyone got a mirror?

    011101 in binary is 29 in decimal.

    I can't think of ANY way in which that relates to the X-Files, gg CC

  8. Can you say... on The Lone Gunmen Aren't Dead? · · Score: 0

    ...dream sequence?

    They are standing around in some weird pseudo-symbolical desert, after all.

  9. Re:Solution on Virus Piggybacks Microsoft Mail Worm · · Score: 0

    It would be great if that link actually provided instructions on how to disable scripts, instead of a script itself to stop scripts.

  10. Re:By Law: Bill Gates Address in all Addressbooks on Virus Piggybacks Microsoft Mail Worm · · Score: 0

    Or, Bill Gates would get a new, secret, email address.

  11. Re:Gee, Thanks on The Lone Gunmen Are Dead · · Score: 0

    Thats like saying reading something saying "Anakin gets an arm chopped off in Episode 2" isn't a spoiler because you don't know how it happened or who did it.

  12. Oops on The Lone Gunmen Are Dead · · Score: 0

    looks like someone dropped the ball in posting this one so early

  13. Re:Oh dear... on Blade Director to Adapt 'Akira' For Western Audiences · · Score: 0

    Why not get the director of Blade 2 (Guillermo Del Toro)? His sequel put the original Blade to shame.

  14. Adamantium on The Periodic Table of Comic Book Elements · · Score: 0

    How could it be a real, credible, table of comic book elements without the Adamantium? :)

  15. Re:How many do you think Two Towers is going to wi on LoTR Takes 4 Oscars · · Score: 0

    Peter Jackson has said he intends to mix it up and split TTT to show the 3 stories equally, and not how the book was.

    can you elaborate on this?

  17. Re:We make a secure Operating System on Most Outrageous Vendor Lie Ever Told? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ah it took less than 10 responses to get a Microsoft crack.

    hmm how did we all see that one coming?

    Who cares about Napster anymore?

  19. Re:hmm on Marvel Universe Is Almost Like *Real Life* Society · · Score: 1, Informative

    Professor X is independently wealthy, I think his family was old-money.

  20. Re:Is money really a factor here? on How Well Does Windows Cluster? · · Score: 0

    but using the site license they already own to form a cluster costs them nothing additionally in terms of paying for an OS.

  21. Re:I'm an intern and I love it on Do You Like Your Job? · · Score: 0

    Troubleshooting skills, learned how to install/configure/administer all recent versions of Windows, how to roll out OS's and application packages across the network, basic networking, customer service skills, etc....

  22. Re:Attitude adjustment on Do You Like Your Job? · · Score: 0

    Isn't being a "consultant" really not very different than being unemployed for weeks at a time, then working for a week, then going back not working?

    Sorry dude but I make more just working at my school's helpdesk...
