  1. Re:Not as versatile as a normal multi-button mouse on Review of Apple's "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 0, Troll

    Boy are you thick. Again, based on the drivers that come with the mouse. Show me a review where the mouse is used with drivers that can even recognize a two-button chord.

    Well, that is your guess, based on your interpretation of behavior observed using drivers that don't support this. Why don't you fucking wait until someone tries it out?

    And why the hell would Apple release a Darwin kernel that calls commercial third-party software?

    Uh, to make it all work?

    So how would it work, if you don't have access to said commercial third-party software?

    Try removing every trace of Quicktime from OS X and see how well everything works. I suggest you back up first.

    Sure. Intel never promised 4 GHz P4s for 2003. Nor did they have to stop shipping the Pentium III 1.13 GHz. And when Intel can't ship, Apple can somehow still ship. Yeah, right.

    Er, yes. Of course, Blaster does not, in fact, infect 2000/XP, whether connected to a network or not, if you have actually updated the operating system at any time since the Blaster patch was released in, let's see, yes, it was July 2003.

    Which didn't stop many, many thousands of PCs to be infected with Blaster and other worms using the exact same vulnerability for months after that date. And being able to download tons of patches from Microsoft doesn't prevent you from being hit with one or more of those worms while going through the download shuffle - and certainly not from those that go through holes yet unpatched.

    The question is: Can you perform random acts of goody-two-shoeing? Or even fool people into giving you something because they think you are a good guy?

    Does the real life in the ghettos really consist of riding around for hours - or committing a crime?

    That is not a good argument given the iPod Photo - errm, i mean both new iPods. You could watch videos just as well on that screen as you can look at photos - but many people will hook it up to a TV to watch the pictures, so why not for movies?

    That's what the study by Pimentel claims (not that he hasn't claimed that before - and has been disputed). But not what others show with actual numbers. Energy Balance/Life Cycle Inventory for Ethanol, Biodiesel and Petroleum Fuels. But even if the study is true, it is only talking about ethanol production in the USA (esp. using subsidized corn), not in general.
