  1. Re:Know your location? on VoIP 911 Emergency Service: Problems and Fixes · · Score: 1

    Poor personal hygiene would work as well.

  2. Re:Those stats don't really mean much though on Mock World Vote · · Score: 1

    Like his stand on environmental issues? His rather odd view of what is "free trade"? Those two would have kicked him from 1st place before 9/11.

  3. Re:Here's your answer... on Beatles vs Apple · · Score: 1
    Did you ever do a Google search for Apple Records? On the first page, the top two and two more hits have nothing to do with the Beatles (nor Apple Computers for that matter). I think Apple Corps have failed to be the only Apple in town.

    Maybe it helps if Apple Computers rename itself "Apple ".

  4. Re:Restore again? on 378 Terabytes Of Star Wars on 600 G5s · · Score: 1

    Why the hell do people always complain about something being milked to death and OTOH can't wait to make their own version - of course without paying anything to the original creators? If your story is good, why can't the hero be named Dave Starflyer?

    Wonderful as SEPs may be for avoiding attention, they're not so great for selling things to people.

    Do you have problems with your Windows computer? Buy a Mac, and they'll become Someone Elses Problem.

  6. Re:Nazi Germany on 60 Years Later: The V2 And The Space Race · · Score: 1

    Of course that would have meant that Britain had to talk about their terror bombings that killed many times as many people.

  7. What about ping-pong? on I, Foos: Robotic Foosball Device Enables Solo Play · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That robot is called "a wall".

  8. Re:I Miss ol' Jon Katz's reviews on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, if we had giant flying submarines, there would not have been a Columbine.

  9. Re:Try this on Bush Service Memos Questioned · · Score: 1

    And who says these documents aren't released by the White House also? Karl Rove does still work there, doesn't he? A man who is prime suspect in bugging his own office to win an election for his boss.

  10. Re:True Lies on New Bush Guard Records Released · · Score: 1

    But if he was supposed to wearing it, why aren't there more photos of him wearing it? Why did he stop wearing it?

  11. Re:True Lies on New Bush Guard Records Released · · Score: 1
    It looks like I was somewhat wrong:
    The Air Force Historical Research Service Organization confirmed that the 147th Fighter Intercept Group and the 111th Fighter Intercept Squadron received an Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for the time period of 1965-1966, two years before Bush joined the service.

    The Air Force also said both units received the Outstanding Unit Award in 1975. Bush was discharged from his Texas Guard unit on Oct. 1, 1973.

    But like they also say: Bush was wearing the ribbon because many members of his unit (who had been in the unit since 1966) would have been wearing the ribbon, and he probably thought he was supposed to be wearing it.

    So a) obviously thinking wasn't his strong suit even then, and b) the fact that the units didn't get the award when Bush was there is pure coincidence.

    Ahh, but LaTeX doesn't do WYSIWYG!

    But then, neither does Word ;-)

  13. Re:True Lies on New Bush Guard Records Released · · Score: 1

    But the unit didn't get it until years after the picture was taken. If you wear it when your unit didn't get it, you're wearing a false award.

  14. Re:True Lies on New Bush Guard Records Released · · Score: 2, Informative
  15. Re:Have the /. editorial staff been outsourced? on Microsoft Patents Keyboard Browser Navigation · · Score: 1

    Now all they have to do is moan about stuff copied from the "comment rejected" page.

  16. Re:Who cares? on Nader Off Virginia Ballot · · Score: 1

    If just one percent of those Floridians who voted Nader had voted for Gore instead, Bush would have been the one to demand a recount.

    repeatedly sending them back for LCD repair would get old fast.

    Just do it yourself.

  20. Re:100 times on the blackboard! on Apple VP discusses iMac G5 Hardware Design · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just by comparing the headless Mac you describe and the one IntlHarvester describes, we see why Apple would fail if they brought out one. 75% of people wanting a HLM would complain that it isn't the HLM they wanted.

  21. Re:what the heck? on Secret Service Seeks Indymedia Logs · · Score: 1
  22. Re:So like... on A Sound of Thunder · · Score: 1

    So why did they decide to make a feature length movie out of it, that needed 6 writers to blow it up? Couldn't they have done an episode movie like The illustrated Man or Twilight Zone?

  23. Re:I Think Not on Microsoft to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    Microsoft tends to buy companies that make good, if not great, products when they don't have a monopoly. From that point on it's all down hill.

  24. Re:I Think Not on Microsoft to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    Not really. You can only chose between a couple of players that play WMD (Windows Media DRM) files. Neither the iPod, nor most other "MP3" players do.
