  1. Guess we know the poster's preferences on The Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

    "As Firefox moves swiftly towards 1.1 and Internet Explorer keeps trundling towards IE7..."

    Very non-partial post there buddy ;)

  2. My first (and perhaps only) relevant post (ever) on One Button Games Explored · · Score: 2, Informative
  3. Re:Your hands are your career on Poor Man's Kinesis Keyboard: The K'nexis Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Also note that something like this can be considered a tax write-off.

  4. Re:Dune was much more deeper than SW on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 1


    "?? - Sarduakar ?."

    Are you serious?

    Sardukar ~ Storm Troopers

  5. Google Adsense on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 1

    I see they've included Google AdSense to their search results.

    They may be able to make enough money to pay for the lawsuit.

  6. Remeber on MPAA Targets TV Download Sites · · Score: 1

    The MPAA is a nice front so you don't know who to be upset with. Here are the MPAA members:

    Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (The Walt Disney Company)
    Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.
    Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.
    Paramount Pictures Corporation
    Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
    Universal City Studios LLLP
    Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

  7. Doctor Who on MPAA Targets TV Download Sites · · Score: 1

    Is a BBC production. MPAA is an american organization. Presumably the MPAA won't be policing this show? :)

  8. One Word on The Baby Bootstrap? · · Score: 1

    "Has the military really given up on this concept, or has their research moved to other, more classified levels?"

    One Word - Skynet.

  9. free iPod! on Inside the Free iPod Offer · · Score: 1

    So, does anyone want a free ipod? Just go the my site, click the link and... oops - nevermind.

  10. Re:Based on a shaky premise on Google Calendar Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    Since google owns their own searching technology (and is the most widely used internet search technology around right now) I'm pretty sure they can arrange calendar links in such a way that their own search engine can crawl that data just fine.

    Then stick robots.txt on their server to block all other search engines :)

  11. Evolution on Transgenic Mustard Cleans Up Soils · · Score: 2, Funny

    From Wikipedia (no less)

    "It is discovered that selenium, an ingredient in some Head & Shoulders shampoos, is as poisonous to the alien life-forms as arsenic is to humans."

    Just wanted to clear that up :)

    "I don't think there's any time for lubrication"

    "THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR LUBRICATION!"

  12. Re:1.1 on Firefox In Print · · Score: 2, Informative

    "I'd offer to supply templates, if I knew who to approach and whether anyone would be remotely interested."

    Get the source
    Build It
    Report a bug on it
    and contribute!

    This is probably a good place to start.

  13. Do Game Designers burn out like rock stars? on Do Game Designers Burn Out Like Rock Stars ? · · Score: 1

    No - they just invent projects to compete for the X-prize.

  14. David Brin's take on Revenge of the Sith Pics Leaked · · Score: 1

    Slightly off topic (mod me down... whatever)

    David Brin (author or the Uplift Series, The Postman, etc...) has put together an interesting review of episode II. Particularly noteworthy are his ideas regarding how to save the whole storyline from its current debacle.

  15. Search filtered on post date on Google Flips Back to Groups Beta (Again) · · Score: 1

    They added back the filter by post date in the beta.

  16. Re:What would the Beatles think of this? on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1

    Just wanted to thank you - That was one of my wedding songs :)

  17. Re:GNOME works for me on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    "If you want to try out GNOME, the best way is to install Ubuntu Linux on a spare computer."

    Better yet, just burn the new Ubuntu Live CD. It can be found here.

  18. Re:C'est la merde! on Kodak Wins $1 Billion Java Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Informative

    "...I just want to see that little piece of shit Kodak in ruins, that's what I want to see."

    As the child of a "Kodak" family, please let me remind you that although you may not appreciate its business practices, Kodak drove the Rochester area economy for decades. Without that my family and many many others in that part of upstate NY would have been worse off than we were.

    Rather than wishing the complete destruction of a company, please consider more productive uses of your valuable time, such as knitting or growing a chia pet.

  19. Its still up on Jerry Falwell Wins Dispute Over Fallwell.com · · Score: 1

    fallwell.com is still up and running as of 5:20 PM EST.

  20. Re:TV next...? on FTC Bars Popup Backdoor Ads · · Score: 1

    I found this really cool popup blocker for my TV. Its called Tivo...

  21. On a related note on Language Tempest At Orkut · · Score: 1

    Those who would like to view this (or any other site) in Portuguese, can use the fish

    Problem solved.

  22. Re:Odd numbers on Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars? · · Score: 1

    Normally I'd agree with you, but that trend was pretty much destroyed with the last movie.

    The clone of picard had to be bald?
    They had to kill Data?
    They had to come up with a simpleton replacement for data (named B4 nonetheless?)

    There were so many things they could have done with the Romulan/Federation conflict in that film.

    Bah.

  23. Re:New MS legal argument on Mozilla Gains on Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    "Mind you: it doesn't really need to do that since it got let off the hook when Bush got elected."

    Just as a reminder:
    Bush was not elected. He was selected by the supreme court.

  24. Re:They are welcome to it! on Microsoft Patents Grouped Taskbar Buttons · · Score: 1

    Here here. If I could mod you up right now, I would.

  25. Re:Apple does solid software on Apple Releases Rendezvous for Linux, Java, Windows · · Score: 1

    I imagine this is because Microsoft has such a larger deployment base.

    If reversed, such that OS X was installed on 95+% of the computers in the world, I bet Microsoft would be quite eager to write Mac-compatible software.
