  1. Re:I Broke Safari's ACID2 Support on Mac OS X 10.4.3 Released · · Score: 1

    Try iCab 3.0 beta.

  2. Re:Interesting paragraph, using Pixar as leverage on The Man Behind Apple And Pixar · · Score: 1

    Why would Disney give a flying shit about Eisner's grandbabies? The guy Disney kicked out because he was dumb enough to even consider not renewing the contract with Pixar?

  3. Re:Depends on the classification on UK Female Sci-Fi Viewers Now Outnumber Males · · Score: 1

    Just that many things on CSI are unscientific.

  4. No wonder it's so hard... on Underground 'Cold War City' For Sale · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... to find Vault 13. It's in England!

  5. Re:care to elaborate? or... on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1

    I have never seen a movie were it does anything.

    Like here.

    And this is the sound the SONAR gives off when it detonates a whale...

  8. Re:I agree with you, but let's consider WATCHES on iPod Nano Scratches Result In Suit · · Score: 1
    Well, my Casio watch cost $30 4.5 years ago, had a huge scratch over the face just after a few days, and is now full of them.

    Like the article refuses to say, it's the suits.

  9. Re:Other Greek versions of the Antikythera mechani on Ancient Greek Computer Reconstructed · · Score: 1

    There were 163 people known in 43 BC to distribute their own version of the Linux Maximus, all doing something slightly different. If you want one that does exactly what you want, get a dozen of them, and change parts from one to the other. Then distribute and become number 164.

  10. Re:Online Video on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1

    Which often doesn't work either.

  11. Let me get this straight on Are Media Writers Biased Towards Apple? · · Score: 1
    Microsoft can't get a fair rap, because more and more journalists find Windows too hard to use and choose to use a Mac instead?

    Well, maybe Microsoft should do some hard thinking about that!

  12. Re:Online Video on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1
    Then you have not used Windows Media Player.

    Hell, was anybody ever able to use the fast forward button in that one?

  13. Re:Am I the only one? on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1
    I recently downloaded QTAmateur, about the same time I also got QuickTime 7.0.3.

    I opened a Movie, watched it, fine. I looked in the Menus, saw "Export", clicked it - and the selector was at "iPod (320x240)" (just at the bottom of the list, no settings available). I entered a filename, clicked "Export", and after (quite) some time out came a ".m4v" iTunes file with

    AAC, Stereo, 44,100 kHz
    H.264, 320 x 240, 16,7 Mill.

    and a FPS of 23.98, the same as the original video. Since I don't have one of these fancy-shmancy iPods, I can't actually tell you if that video plays - but it's a pretty good guess.

    So getting the latest version of QT (which you'll need for the version of iTunes that links to the new iPods anyway AFAIK), and anything that can export the codecs of QT Standard - it can't be much easier.

  14. Re:Lets see on Bad Movies to Blame for Box Office Slump · · Score: 1

    The popcorn is for throwing. The rest sometimes too. ;-)

  15. Re:Why it's no good without a patent. on Bacteria-killing Pencil · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but the only thing rotting is your brain.

  16. A little etymology on Bacteria-killing Pencil · · Score: 4, Funny

    The words pencil and penicillin both derive from the same word penicillum, which is a double diminutive of the latin word for tail. I will not name that word, else I'll be modded Troll ;-)

  17. Re:No on Will MacIntel Hardware Open The Door for Mac OS X CAD? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for proving my point - managers are stupid. Why else would they not enter a small pond where they would be the only fish? No, they jump into the big pond with a hundred otheres - and a big shark.

    The Monty Python has one.

    First of all, cross-platform will not be "a lot easier", at best it will be a little bit easier.

    2: Developers don't make decisions, managers do. They can save money , they will, even if it doesn't make economical sense. 80% of all managers are stupid and quarter result oriented.

    is an image of Zonk stomped on by that large Python foot. His work today has again been outstandingly typical for him.

  21. Re:No on Will MacIntel Hardware Open The Door for Mac OS X CAD? · · Score: 1

    Face it, this is capitalism. Why spend money on a Mac version, when you can just tell Mac users to buy your Windows version and emulate it at full speed. I never said it was smart, just that it would happen. Count on it.

  22. Re:No on Will MacIntel Hardware Open The Door for Mac OS X CAD? · · Score: 1
    Yes.

    But if there is a Windows runtime/emulator/whatever-you-call-it, there will still be less native Mac versions. Count on it.

    Don't tell me, tell the people who will still decide that way because they can save money.

  24. Re:No on Will MacIntel Hardware Open The Door for Mac OS X CAD? · · Score: 1

    No, it means that less programs will be ported to Mac OS X, because Mac users can just run them on a Windows emulator.

  25. Re:That begs the question .... on Dinosaur Forces Rethink Of Flight's Evolution · · Score: 1

    Actually, his argument is begging the question: "What does the description 'long, slender snout and wing-like limbs' have to do with pigs?"
