  1. Re:attack of the clones on Bootleg Star Wars AotC Debuts on Internet · · Score: 1

    I couldn't resist and did download it...
    now I have ShowTime on DivX;-)

  2. Re:Somewhat off-topic, but... on Linux Web Browsers Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I do my web-browser mostly in Windows, but on Opera, I didn't like mozilla that much. The pop-up killing is a bit to drastic IMHO. Opera has an option to have them pop-up in the background without recieving focus.

    Opera beats Mozilla speed-wize too...
    But for real speed, nothing beats Lynx :)

  3. What's in a name... on Doom III Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    a 3d shooter is a 3d shooter, right?
    quakeIIIarena is nothing like Quake or Quake2

    They are just using the name DooM cuz it sells.
    Duke Nukem 3D was a hit for the same reason. Quake was so much better.

    I don't really mind the name, I know ID makes great software and looking forward to the release.

  4. sure, a jammer... on Another Reason to be Annoyed by Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    the jammers emit even more RF to interfere with the cellphones.

  6. Real nice demonstration. on The Ultimate Phone/PDA? · · Score: 1

    http://www.sonyericsson.com/3Dphones/p800/p800.htm l shows very nicely how this thing works. I couldn't get the plug-in to work in Opera and had to use IE instead. Now I feel bad... I have sined...

  7. Re:im confused on The Ultimate Phone/PDA? · · Score: 2, Informative

    it gets taken of entirely.

    the keypad is just a piece of plastic in which the button are placed. when a button is pressed it just pushes the touchscreen.

  9. Insane !! on Spyware Fights Back · · Score: 1

    You can't bind people to a EULA, nobody reads it if it's more than ten lines long. I am going to write some software that does something K-RAD (like a screensaver !!) and in the bckground leeches peoples PayPal accounts!! Man, I'm gonna be richer than BillG !! hahahah (evil laugh)

    the url is wrong: it should be .net not .com

  15. Re:spelling... on The New Nomad Jukebox, And Handheld Oggs · · Score: 1

    I know my engrish sucks... but I don't really the error in that one... maybe the word 'from' could be replaced with 'at'?

    Sega's Swirl game is already released for PalmOS

  19. This man is just whining on Bad Review for the Zaurus · · Score: 1

    This man is just whining, nobody ever said using a PC was easy (without lieing). PDA's are getting more complex to. Don't expect everything to be perfect.

  21. Wow !! stopping light... on Stopping Light · · Score: 1

    There is a really anoying streetlight right in front of my bedroomwindow. I could really use this technology !!! Wait a minute... I CAN stop light it's called a curtain. Nothing to see here, move along.

  22. useless invention ?? on Inventors Wanted (Add To The Wishlist) · · Score: 1

    In school we once had to do a project about a new made-up product. we 'invented' a 'freeze-o-tron' sort of an inversed microwave. It freezes foodproducts instantly.

    Is it doable?: probably.
    Is it usefull?: not really.

  23. It might be a great product but... on gobeProductive 3.0 - Office XP killer? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It might be a great product but when the average user still thinks Micros~1 makes the best/only product it will never catch on.

    It's the same thing with StarOffice for Windows.(which even was free) A great product, a lot more userfriendly when compared to MS Office. But somehow I could convince anyone to even try it.
    Standard reply: 'Office is all I need.'

    Man, MicroSoft does knows how to do their marketing...

  24. Speed reading /. ? unpossible... on Speed Reading? · · Score: 2

    I once spoke a guy who had bought a book from an commercial/home-shopping program. It did work, not as well as the commercial would make you believe it would, but he did notice that while reading the book, during the learning-process, has reading speed improved.

    But the system doesn't work for everyone and it works a lot better on well-written literature.
    After not using the system for a few weeks he was almost back where he started...

  25. No Math jokes ?! on Simpsons Guide to Math · · Score: 1

    From the article: Mathematics doesn't exactly have a great reputation for being a source of brilliant humor.
