  1. Re:I'd love a cheap, mass produced 200 mile electr on 230mph Electric Car · · Score: 1
    The Chinese must first solve the quality issue with their cars.
    Like anyone here in the States cares about quality of Chinese products - one'd be hard pressed to find non-Chinese item in stores.
  2. Agreed Reloaded on TiVo to Sell Your Fast-Forward Button · · Score: 3, Insightful
    That's 45 minutes of my life to do productive things (or surf Slashdot).
    Yeah, just like buying some $500 piece of crap you don't need for $100 saves you $400 off MSRP. Why not skip both Amazing Race and Jon Stewart and save 1:45 to do productive things (or surf Slashdot)? ;-)
  3. Re:That's Capitalism on Microsoft's Lobbying Priorities: Limiting Open Source · · Score: 1
    Then I would liquidate the entire company and find better uses for those hundreds of billions of dollars. Like feeding people with no food. Or curing deadly diseases. I think those things are more important than companies needing an office suite.
    I wonder, do you also think that all those people contributing to alternative office suites are better volunteer for a worthy cause? Like feeding hungry or helping terminally ill people. I mean, all they do now is duplicate (quadruplicate is a better word) efforts trying to make a pathetic replica of the existing suite.
  4. ipod mini killer^H^Hing features on Rio Reveals iPod Mini Slayer · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Scarsity aside, (a) ugly, ugly colors, (b) pathetic battery life (yes, pathetic, since you cannot up it on a hike), (c) no OGG ;-P

  5. Execute.me on Latest SP2 News · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How's sending .gif and asking to run cmd on Windows XP system is any different from sending .gif and asking to execute perl on Linux or BSD?

  6. Re:It's about time. on Dog Trained on 200-Word Vocabulary · · Score: 1
    If those damn dogs wanna live in our country, let them learn OUR language.
    Screw that, my neighbour speaks dogglish quite well already. Heck, most IAAL types do! =8-S
  7. Re:Bzzt. Try again on Dog Trained on 200-Word Vocabulary · · Score: 1
    There is no such thing as a sentient non-homosapien. There may be varying levels of intelligence among the animals, but no animal can reason, they can only react to their surroundings as dictated by their instincts.
    Perhaps you are right, there are no sentient non-human beings. It doesn't automatically imply that every human being out there is sentient. Your reaction, for example, seems to lack any reasoning whatsoever ;-P
  8. Cyber-soap? on Cyber-Soap Returns From The Dead · · Score: 1

    That's cyber-soap? Here's cyber-soap !!!

  9. Smart Tags on The Most Powerful Man in Technology Journalism · · Score: 2, Informative
    Mossberg even forced Microsoft to scrap Smart Tags
    How's that true? Smart tags are in Word, Excel, Outlook - one of the most useful and "smart" technologies out there.
  10. In related news... on Estonia Embraces Wi-Fi Wireless Internet Access · · Score: 4, Funny

    Countries of Vatican and Luksemburg quickly followed the lead and covered their respective territories by Wi-Fi access points. One per country.

  11. Re:You've got to be kidding... on OpenOffice.org, MS Office 2003 Compared, Evaluated · · Score: 1
    That's a bit of a generalization, as documents coming from any source will come in a wide range of sizes. Moreover, at normal small business salaries, it would take thousands of large-document-opens for that incremental loss of time to counter the $200-minimum street price for Microsoft Office (e.g., $25/hour = 8 hours for $200 = 28,000 seconds = 2,880 large document opens).
    That, and you have a batch of day-old documents piling up now ;-)
  12. Wrong choice of business partner? on Apple Rejects RealNetwork's Pleas · · Score: 1

    I wonder why Real bothered asking Apple at all, they should have gone for Claria (AKA Gator, for the rest of us) right from the start - that would be the alliance of the millenium!

  13. Re:Measurement error or fraud? on Japanese Inventor's Motor Uses 80% Less Power · · Score: 1
    Are you telling me that in the US, physics students do not understand why perpetual motion machines do not work and about conservation of energy until the second term of their university degree!!
    Physics in U.S. universities is read by Russian professors to Chineese students. Here, have my $.02, buy yourself a clue ;-)
  14. Re:If MSFT dies on The Only Way Microsoft Can Die is by Suicide · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If Microsoft goes, the industry will be like iraq without Saddam Hussein.

    The industry needs a good dictator to keep peace, snuff out resistance, and generally keep order in an otherwise disorderly arena.

    Yes, Microsoft is Bad like saddam hussein, but are we willing to replace him with a viable alternative? We will end up bleeding like we do today.

    Microsoft is a necessary evil. Period

    And, let me guess, the buddy who moderated the parent down is Fox News avatar? Mmmmkay....
  15. Re:What? on Microsoft to sue Mike Rowe for Copyrights · · Score: 1
    His name is Mike Rowe and he owns www.mikerowesoft.com. That's enough to call MS's lawyers into his backyard.
    No, this was not enough, but asking $10,000 "for his hard work and domain name" sure as hell was. Maybe next time he or someone equally dumb will think twice before embarking on a quest of this kind.
  16. In other news... on Women Buy More Tech Than Men · · Score: 1

    men buy more jewlery. Go figure ;-P

  17. Re:Wrong legal consequences. on Spammers Not Complying With CAN-SPAM · · Score: 1
    Of course, you won't do something imhumane like they do in Saudi-Arabia - cutting of fingers etc. You would just give them a decent spanking.
    Behold the power of masochist spammers! =8-Z
  18. Never mind Lego on Lego to Stop Producing Mindstorms · · Score: 2, Informative

    Get your nephew a Handy Board or a couple of Handy Crickets :-) http://www.handyboard.com/

  19. Gimp! on Photoshop CS Adds Banknote Image Detection, Blocking? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could someone, please, add this feature to the Gimp? We cannot fall behind industry leaders!... Oh, wait... Now I'm really confused.

  20. Re:My prediction: Mac zealots get more mod points on Cringely's 2004 Predictions · · Score: 1

    Ok, I'm the target, hit me some more ;-P

  22. My prediction: Mac zealots get more mod points on Cringely's 2004 Predictions · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ...and you are the target, dear ;-)

  23. Those are not predictions, but observations on Cringely's 2004 Predictions · · Score: 2, Funny

    Check #3, for example, we _know_ MSR is working on this (there was a story here recently). Or #4, which is simply general trend. #7 is a BS: "Someone is going to come out of this a big winner. I just don't know who it is." Most of the rest are the same, including #15. Gee, tell me more, old toad ;-P

  24. Not even platforms comparison on G5 vs Opteron, Finally · · Score: 1

    Opteron is for servers that beat crap out mighty [t]Itanic any time of a day, G5 is for fancy desktop. Show us G5 in server tests, until then let's move along, nothing to see here...

  25. Hidden text on Skeptical Environmentalist Saga Continues · · Score: 1

    You can still read it by copy/pasting blanks to some text editor. Enjoy! ;-D
