  1. Here's why I don't care on Juiced · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's a fucking game. Start a neighborhood league if you want sportsmanship and integrity and stop worshipping MLB like some teeny-bopper that throws her panties on the stage at a concert.

  2. Re:Finally!!!! on Yahoo Pledges Full Firefox Support · · Score: 1

    Why compromise your standards? There are many ways to listen to music online. If an online service doesn't work well with Firefox, I take my business (or, from Yahoo's POV, my *eyeballs*) elsewhere.

  3. Re:How useful to people who choose to use iTunes? on Buying DRM-Free Songs From the ITMS · · Score: 1

    This will let me play my iTMS-purchased music through my TiVo now. Since there are two iTMS account holders (and several computers) in my household, we won't have to bother with "authenticating" various computers with two different iTMS accounts.

    As for their TOS?--irrelevant. When it's all said and done, Apple only has to worry about keeping me as a happy, continually paying customer, regardless of what I legally do with my property in my home.

  4. Re:I remember once... on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 1

    It sounds like he drank enough vodka as it is to get shiat faced. I know that would be enough for me and I'm no waif.

  5. Re:Monica Bellucci on Joss Whedon to Write/Direct Wonder Woman · · Score: 1

    Not knowing a thing about Wonder Woman...if they couldn't even speak *modern* Greek, how the heck did they know enough English to speak to Steve Trevor?

    Also, if we're talking Greeks to play Wonder Woman, I nominate Eugenia Loli-Queru.

  6. Re:The end is coming and people want it!?!? on Major PC Makers Adopt Trusted Computing Schema · · Score: 1

    Kind of like how MSN overtook and replaced the web? Oh, wait.

  7. Re:Golly, I WONDER where they got that idea! on Pentium M Goes SFF · · Score: 1

    One of my secretaries got an eMac (after I recommended the Mini) when she was in the market for a new PC. We're a Dell/WinXP shop so she uses a Dell running XP everyday...yet she asked me if there's anything better out there. Her family loves the eMac, btw.

  8. Re:PS/2? on Pentium M Goes SFF · · Score: 1

    That, and the ugly-ass floppy port in what's an otherwise attractive case.

  9. Re:Golly, I WONDER where they got that idea! on Pentium M Goes SFF · · Score: 1, Insightful

    For its price point and target demographic, the Mac Mini is good to go for 99% of all people.

  10. Re:For those that don't know... on MS to Trade Passwords for 2-Factor Authentication · · Score: 1

    Well, assuming they're all yours in there anyway.

  11. Re:So whats wrong with this? on Was the New Dr. Who Leaked on Purpose? · · Score: 1

    What if income from international sales were built into the show's budget?

  12. Re:Two button mouse my... on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    That was later revealed to be the iPod's clickwheel...but that's not to say that they won't use the same tech in a mouse.

  13. Re:Or similarly... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    I guess I should clarify. Firefox inserts page numbers into the printout you see in the print preview mode. That's how I'm able to know which pages to print.

  14. Re:printing on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A print preview mode like Firefox has would be nice. That way, if you need to print only certain pages of a large document (like a Form 10-K) you can specify with ease which pages you'd like to print.

  15. Re:Interesting Codename... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Microsoft likes to use codenames based upon the names of mountains. XP was Whistler for instance. There is a "Rincon" mountain range in Arizona.

  16. Re:you know on Creative Commons In the News · · Score: 1

    "Oh, and Denmark is full of clog wearing porn stars who own chocolate factories."

    Which is fine by me, as long as they don't tape their movies in the factories. When I bite into a piece of Danish chocolate, the only creamy thing I want in my mouth is caramel.

  17. Re:Ooohhh.. Leters! on GPL Violators On The Prowl · · Score: 1

    Putting the RIAA aside, GPL infringers infringe upon the copyrights of the authors of the software.

  18. What about Google Service Integration? on Gmail Goes Public · · Score: 1

    The "killer" feature I'm waiting for from Google is a single sign-on service. Now, I'm not advocating a MS-Passport system that gives me one login for numerous and distinct companies and services...that would be crazy. But I would like to use one login much like I can access all of Yahoo's services with just one l/p. Currently, I've got separate logins for Gmail, Blogger.com and AdSense.

  19. Re:Phone line needed? on Tivo Signs Deal With Comcast · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Quoth the AC: "however for the 1st connection it HAS to be over a phone line,"

    Completely untrue. My Series 2 TiVo has never touched a phone line. It has been USB ethernet all the way since I bought the unit in November 2002.

  20. I've had this in my office for years on Sunlight in a Tube · · Score: 4, Funny

    A nifty little invention called a "win-dow".

  21. Re:Later that same day on GPL Violators On The Prowl · · Score: 5, Interesting

    That gives me an idea...what if a bunch of GPL authors got together and formed a non-profit whose sole purpose was to become a member of the BSA? If armed federal marshalls busting down your door won't make you comply with the GPL, then nothing will!

  22. Re:Ooohhh.. Leters! on GPL Violators On The Prowl · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's irrelevant. This is between the software author and the violator. If a company is violating the copyright of a software author, their infractions must be dealt with.

  23. Re:Kraft makes good chocolate? Doubtful. on French Designer Ordered to Give up milka.fr · · Score: 1

    That may well be, but in the US, the "Kraft" name is synonymous with bland-tasting foods. Ie, their parmesean cheese sucks compared to anything a pizza place will give you for free in a little cut; their barbequeue sauce has the right color but no taste!

  24. Re:But you still need IE. on IE Vulnerable to Cross-Browser Spyware Attack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My approach to IE has been this...in my mind it's no longer a "web browser." To me, IE is *only* to be used as Microsoft's "software update tool," much like how Apple has a dedicated software update tool for OS X.

    You can't use Firefox to automatically update Office, but you can manually download patches with Firefox. However, you can use the Microsoft Software Update Tool (formerly Internet Explorer) to automatically find updates.

  25. Re:The Shuffle is a clone to begin with. on iPod Shuffle Lookalike Hits CeBIT · · Score: 2, Informative

    I just followed your links...the iPod Shuffle and Gray Whale do not look even remotely similar to one another.
