  1. Oh well.. on Lord of The Rings DVD, Now or Later? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    not like I can afford either. I'm just hoping I can see Two Towers this December.

  2. Re:Don't Be A Baby. on Consumer Friendly (or Disney Hostile) DVD Players? · · Score: 1

    You don't recall $99 movies on Video Tape, do you? I recall those days. Got the movie, too. It wasn't until they started sticking commercials on the tape that prices came down.

    So someone else is paying for your cheap DVD/Tape.

    Not that I don't mind giving Master Mickey and his Manical Cohorts and wedgie....

  3. Re:SS# on Governmental ID System in Japan · · Score: 1

    It is absolutley required. I'm the father of two kids (4 and 3) and it was required. Sorry to burst the old bubble there.

  4. Sorry... on Flash and Open Source · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Doesn't look like this is friendly crowd for flash questions...

  5. When in doubt... on Authors Guild To Members: De-link Amazon.com · · Score: 1

    ...always bet on greed as being a prime factor. Not that I don't blame them if they aren't getting a cut of the sales in any case.

    Authors aren't fond of second-hand book stores, since it does deprive them of sales when one could go buy a shiny new copy.

  6. That's nice... on ASCI White Detonates The First E-Bomb · · Score: 1

    This is the nice kind of vaporware. After all, if we don't have to detonate them, and can expirment with newer designs without building any, there's no loss.

    And if you don't have to have them around, there's no risk of them wandering off.

  7. Sure, go ahead... on Bertelsman Seeks to Buy Napster · · Score: 5, Funny

    You can have it, we're finished playing with it by now. :)

  8. Dear Steve... on Slashback: Blender, Pictures, Servitude · · Score: 1

    Are you sure the brain damage was *after* they yanked stuff out?

    Just Curious

    KZ

  9. Dang... on U.S. Works Up Plans for Using Nuclear Arms · · Score: 1

    Way to be on top of the news, guys! Woah... this story is like, a few days old already!

  10. Most Acronyms stuffed into a sentance... on Java RMI · · Score: 1

    With an outstanding effort, the author goes for the gold and stuffs one paragraph with so many acronyms and abbreviations, it makes it barely readable!

  11. Gee... on Microsoft, Feds Revise Settlement Agreement · · Score: 1

    Isn't that swell? Maybe in a few decades they'll get around to actually punishing Microsoft?

  12. I think... on Should Aunt Tillie Build Her Own Kernels? · · Score: 1

    Some people just aren't happy unless they start an arguement.

  13. Re:Long on Lawrence Lessig Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    So don't complain when you have to pay to sing "Jingle Bells" next year.

  14. Hey! It worked for Cyrix!! on AMD To Hide MHz Rating From Consumers · · Score: 1

    Wow... I'm amazed Intel hasn't done this yet. Surely AMD will rule the planet now.

    *sigh* Seriously, AMD just kissed it's future good-bye. Dead in two years, tops. They're already cutting prices too thin, and what with the entire sector dumping jobs like crazy, AMD could be facing the last roundup. I'm sure it's already packed for the trip, with this little stupid stunt.

  15. Re:Huh? on Confidentiality on Virus Sent Docs? · · Score: 1

    Well, now see, that's useful information. If you can trust any of them to tell the truth on resumes...
    -----------------------------

  16. Riiight... on Are Games Turning Kids Into Jocks? · · Score: 1

    And sitting in front of your computer all day will really impress the girls...


    -----------------------------

  17. Summary of Interview on Talking with Matrox · · Score: 1

    "I like my shirt on my back, so we are focusing on a market we can win in." Sounds good to me, sad that they aren't going to at least try for some better 3D.
    -----------------------------

  18. Re:Haha... on AOL Picks Cable ISP Partners · · Score: 1

    So, genius, where do I sign up for the alternative cable modem ISP provider? Guess what, there isn't one.


    -----------------------------

  19. Wow! You guys are on the Ball! on Disney and Anime Plagiarism? · · Score: 1

    Not! I think this one has been out over a week or two. Geez.
    -----------------------------

  20. Watch them... on Ethically Monitoring Your Kid's Net Access · · Score: 3

    I'd let them know the computer stays in a public area, and I'm liable to watch everything they do.

    And then sit down and watch them.
    -----------------------------

  21. Again? on The Return Of Microsoft: Part Two · · Score: 1

    More Preaching to the Choir. Why doesn't he take this act on the road? We all know Microsloth is evil.


    -----------------------------

  22. Re:The problem with GPS on Buxley's GPS Geocache Maps Offline, Now Back · · Score: 1

    Just to relieve your mind a bit, I'm well trained in traditional orinteering. I know my way around a good map and compass.

    I just think GPS's are cool. :)
    -----------------------------

  23. Gee... on The Return of Microsoft · · Score: 2

    Preaching to the Choir, aren't we?
    -----------------------------

  24. Re:The problem with GPS on Buxley's GPS Geocache Maps Offline, Now Back · · Score: 1

    I'm trying to figure out how the knowledge of where I am (or might be) detracts from the wonder of getting there.
    Tell you what. YOU get lost. I'll whip out the GPS and find my way back, thank you. :)
    -----------------------------

  25. Re:Com'on on MSIE Security Worsens: Patch Bungled · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Like I just passed 3 years. Installed it right after it came out. No reinstalls. And I've installed a ton of non-MS software that was crappy. I do have Office 97, mainly because I use Word, and the wife uses Powerpoint for work.

    I hated Outlook Express from the beginning. Only within the past 18 months I switched over to IE full time.
