  1. Re:Hmpf. on Teaser Trailer for 'Cars'; Info on 'Polar Express' · · Score: 1

    Well put. And since most of us "adults" were "kids" once, I think it will drum up memories. But unlike some other animated movies out there that rely on fart jokes (Now don't get me wrong, i like fart jokes), the writers and directors delve a little deeper into the plots and sub plots, the comedy just comes naturally. I can honestly say, I laughed more than the kids did at every Pixar film, and like a little wimp, shed a tear or two.

  2. iPod Socks on New Apple iPod with Photo Capabilities · · Score: 4, Informative

    And the most bizarre introduction:
    iPod Socks
    Added with Mini Pocket Warmers you can go jogging in Faribanks, Alaska, with your iPod, and not fear frost-pod-bite. Probably not a real good idea

  3. Re:Too expensive/not useful on New Apple iPod with Photo Capabilities · · Score: 1

    It's all about convenience. 1 device, multi uses. I have my iPod, I retired my old MP3 player. Bought the Belkin adapter and have been happy (which is $100 more, and works with the cheaper ones too). The color features is just more bling to me... A nice but unnecessary frill.

  4. Re:More info on New Apple iPod with Photo Capabilities · · Score: 1

    It's a great option for people with 5MP+ cameras. When shooting, you could fill up a 1 GB disk quite quickly, and instead of buying a lot of those flash cards, you could get enough for a day or half day, then store them on the iPod. I use the Belkin Media Reader with my iPod and Cam and it works fine. I just hope the transfer speed between these new iPods is faster. Also, the added battery is a must as the media reader sucks the battery like none other.

    But what has it told us about the Vogon's and Interstellar Bypasses?

  6. Re:I'm confused on Dilbert's Ultimate House · · Score: 1
    I think couldn't not use it means, it is there, so you are compelled to use it, being so convenient you have to check it out, and not have to worry about your pastiness, which can be cured in the totally enclosed courtyard at high noon.

    i.e.

    You have to use it. There is no way around it. Period.

  7. FU162 on Asteroid 4179 Toutatis Will Miss Earth, This Time · · Score: 5, Funny

    That is quite the appropriate letter sequence for an asteroid that comes close to earth.

  8. Digital Rights and personal privacy. on Submit and Moderate Questions for Bush and Kerry · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What are your plans or thoughts about protecting personal privacy and rights for digital media usage in this increasing digital age.

  11. Re:Buy Them Out on Beatles vs Apple · · Score: 1

    iTunes Music Store is a technology used to deliver content.
    Content that could be delivered is the music by the Beatles.
    Playing the music would be entertaining. Much like seeing Ringo deliver a keynote at WWDC. As well as painful

  12. Re:Buy Them Out on Beatles vs Apple · · Score: 1

    Too bad we don't know what the original agreement was. But here is a good link to the dispute:
    BBC News

  13. Re:Buy Them Out on Beatles vs Apple · · Score: 3, Insightful
    The rumors about buying Vivendi was actually Apple talking to Vivendi to get them to buy into iTunes Music Store. What Apple Corps (Beatles) is doing now is borarder line extotion. Aparently they took the sound "Sosumi" to heart, and did.

    I don't know anyone who thinks Apple and the Beatles are related. I think Apple also had to pay licensing to McIntosh (Arguably the best sound system on the market, but lets not get into that, their stuff is amazing, and ironically, very expensive, and high quality) to use Macintosh.

    It just ridiculous.

    I saw a fireman once.... That's the closest to my childhood dream.

  15. Re:new imac on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    If you can stream video out of a DV cam with firewire, perhaps someone can do it with HDTV. Just a thought.

    Major Differences Apples SATA vs Dell ATA100 DDR400 vs DDR333 Super Drive vs Combo GeForceFX5200 64mb VS Intel Extreme

  17. Re:Unlikely on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    but I really loved the fully adjustable screen on the previous generation iMac. I thought it was wonderfully practical and ergonomic to be able to bend it up, down and sideways
    Don't forget, the computer is VESA compliant, so you can get a similar, if not more dynamic display neck to achieve ergonomic happiness.

  18. Re:Enforcement... on PG-13 Rating Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    I thought for sure Top Gun was also a major reason PG-13 was created. It was a borderline R movie, as much swearing, but no nudity. So glad it was not rated R, as there would have been no way in hell my parents would allow me to see it.

  21. Re:This is normal for an enterprise. on IBM Tells Employees To Hold Off WinXP SP2 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Our company has issued notices not to install the patch until, well, it can be patched. Also, we will house it locally. Imagine 3000 people all trying to download this 250mb patch (hell, it will proably be around 300mb when it is released) at once... Networking will give a snail a run for it's money.
