  1. Re:Yay! on O'Reilly Publishing Mac OS X for Unix Geeks · · Score: 1, Troll

    Another whiny post by Perdo. What's up, did Steve Jobs kill your dog?

  2. Re:Shhh... don't tell the editors on Qatsi Trilogy to be Completed · · Score: 2
    You mean if nobody had invented the car, ships would still run with coal-powered steam engines?

    And the fights in Africa are mostly about the artificial straight-line borders the Europeans left behind.

  3. Re:Violent games do not exist on Violent Games Good for Kids · · Score: 2

    What a sick game. Making people believe that violence is something abstract and that there is no problem in telling others to be violent. Ban this terrible game now!

  4. Re:Put aside? on Wright Brothers vs. Glenn Curtiss · · Score: 2
    Well, maybe because you didn't look on the US Patent and Trademarks Office's homepage? E.g. on the Kids Page
    Not all medicines were of the snake oil variety. In 1897 Felix Hoffman of the Bayer company found a better method to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid. In 1899 Bayer began marketing the new product as Aspirin. Bayer lost is rights to the trademark, as aspirin became a generic term.

  6. Did they have a visitor on Rare Virgin Shark Births Reported in Detroit · · Score: 4, Funny

    named Troy McClure?

  7. Re:Cooler? on Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs · · Score: 2

    All G4 chips have AltiVec. There is no special "notebook version", only L3-cache-interface-less versions.

  8. Re:new bus is the interesting part on Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs · · Score: 2

    Well, if you look at tests comparing DDR vs. "SDR" on the PC, you will see that DDR (or RAMBUS) alone won't cut it either.

  9. Re:I can see why Apple hates rumors on Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs · · Score: 2

    Does Intel suffer so? No, because their chips are on a regular run up the clock cycle ramp and nobody really cares about the very-top end product anyway. Intel does suffer (and so does AMD) because nobody really cares about the very-top end product anyway - and simply doesn't buy it. It's not fast enough. Intel is losing the Megahertz Race (TM), because they are too far ahead.

  10. Re:Wow, this also means... on Mac OS X 10.2.1 Released · · Score: 2

    1989 - that would be about 2 years before Linux version 0.01.

  11. Re:implications on Low-Budget Indian Satellite Launch · · Score: 2

    Looks like Bush isn't an "US diplomacy" kind of guy, at least he's not at all working on the "eliminating motivation" part.

  12. Re:implications on Low-Budget Indian Satellite Launch · · Score: 2

    Count the errors in parent by a known troll.

  13. They'll be delighted on Contractor Dilemmas - Moral and Financial Obligations? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Delaying to pay one's contractors is quite common business practice, and the VCs will sure like that the start-up knows how to save money.

  14. Talking of rings... on Earth: The Ring World · · Score: 2

    Visit the Hubble Heritage Project for a nice picture of Hoag's Object, a beautifull looking ring galaxy (article rejected).

  15. Re:Not ironic on Charles Simonyi leaves Microsoft · · Score: 2

    That's what global replace is there for.

    IOW you don't.

  17. Re:BeOS cannot run on G3/G4 -- needs 604 or below on Build a Macintosh From Scratch · · Score: 2

    Be claims that Apple never gave them the info for the motherboards, not the processors.

  18. Re:"from scratch" - get real on Build a Macintosh From Scratch · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ahh, but putting a PC motherboard into a PC case IS building a PC from scratch?

  19. Re:Reminds me of that old saying... on Build a Macintosh From Scratch · · Score: 2

    Just that picking the good part takes up much more time than the actual building part. Unless you (blindly) trust someone with his choice of parts.

  20. Re:Price... on Build a Macintosh From Scratch · · Score: 2

    Which is a dual processor.

  21. Re:Not wanting to pay Apple prices on Build a Macintosh From Scratch · · Score: 2

    So do you get (at least) one MB L3 cache with your Athlon XP 2000+?

  22. Re:Not wanting to pay Apple prices on Build a Macintosh From Scratch · · Score: 2

    Case in point: Why don't the evil-modaration-whiners all go into Preferences:Comments and play with the Reason Modifiers? Give all the Trolls +5 and all Insightfulls -3.

  23. Re:You do? on Build a Macintosh From Scratch · · Score: 2

    You go to the "fastestest" option, and strip it down.

  24. Re:hardware violation on Build a Macintosh From Scratch · · Score: 2

    Since they are recreating the Mac from an original Apple motherboard - how about never?

  25. Pick a Nit on Star Trek: Pick A Plot · · Score: 2

    Does the moon orbit the earth or the sun? If you take an orbit over the pole of a planet, you will not orbit it, but you will orbit the sun it orbits.
