  1. Re:what's MS gonna do? on OmniWeb Announces WebCore-Based Browser · · Score: 1

    Well, competition inspires innovation. I don't think Microsoft is a company to easily give up. Not sure if future versions of IE will be cocoa based, but I'm sure they will be working their butts off to have something to compete against Safari.

  2. Re:Trigun on Trigun Coming to Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    I guess it depends on your tastes I enjoyed the early episodes. Although there was a lot of slapstick style humor, I did like the fighting scenes. Also, you can't overlook when Wolfwood shows up.

    I do agree, though, that the second half of the series is when the story line picks up a bit.

  3. Re:Anime on Trigun Coming to Cartoon Network · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you're looking to catch some anime on Cartoon Network, I suggest watching, in addition to Trigun, Ruroni Kenshin and Cowboy Bebop. Although dubbed, the voices are not that horrible though I still prefer the subtitled versions.

  4. Word Whomp on Apple Updates to Java 1.4.1 · · Score: 1

    Hopefully I'll be able to play Word Whomp from Pogo games (http://www.pogo.com) at a decent speed now.

  5. Re:Wow! on iTunes Tops Out At 32,000 Songs · · Score: 1

    Uhm, 15*32,000=32,000 if you're saying there is only one song on each CD (even singles have more than that). He already stated that it's assuming an average of 15 songs a CD.

  6. Re:I still want a dedicated anime channel, though on Adult Swim Gets Three More Anime Series · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, some "uncut" anime series cannot be aired on CN due to the nudity they contain. Hey, I won't complain, but I'm sure some parents out there will have an outrage.

  7. Re:Pull the other one. on Broadband's Unintended Consequences · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...When you already HAVE broadband you don't care too much about the speed....

    Unfortunately, I have broadband and I do care about the speed I get. Only because I'm downloading at 6.5k/sec. I hate it when ISPs say speeds up to 768k so they're still okay when you're downloading slower than a 56k modem.

  8. Re:What's in a name... on SGI NUMAflex Linux System On Display @ SC2002 · · Score: 5, Funny

    eAthlon.64?
    Dan Quayle says it's Athlone 64

  9. Encouraging pr0n? on Grab A Bunk In The Dot-Com Dorm · · Score: 5, Funny

    So how many of them are running porn sites?

  10. Re:pinstripe theme on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unfortunately the pinstripe theme currently only works on OS X. I would also love to use this them on my Windows and Linux box. Anything out there that's similar?

  11. Hawaii on Apple Won't Be At Macworld Boston · · Score: 2, Funny

    Too bad IDG is not moving it to Hawaii. Now I would love to see MacWorld Honolulu!

  12. Re:R/C rice cars on Radio-Controlled Microcar Review · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about adding 1,000 watt amps and 15" subwoofers to wake the neighborhood up at 2am?

  13. Well.... on Simpsons on the Silver Screen · · Score: 1

    Wayne's World was successfully (from some point of views) ported to the silver screen. Who's to say that the same can't be done for the Simpsons? Okay okay, Wayne's World 2 sucked. But still....

  14. Re:It's neat to have, but...... on ATi's All In Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting idea. Unfortunately, my room doesn't have the space because (going by the _flawless_ logic of the poster above) I weigh 300 pounds.

  15. Re:It's neat to have, but...... on ATi's All In Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro · · Score: 1

    300 pounds? I guess you don't realize how many calories you burn pressing the buttons on the clicker.

  16. Re:So where's the Mac version? on ATi's All In Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro · · Score: 1

    I myself would like to see a Mac version. However, ATI may still be a little salty after they were replaced as the default video card by nVidia back after that MacWorld fiasco where they "leaked" info on new Macs before Steve Jobs' keynote.

  17. It's neat to have, but...... on ATi's All In Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is a cool gadget to have on the computer with the instant replay/time shifting Tivo-like capabilities and it's there on my list of "toys" to have. However, I don't think sitting at a desk in front of a computer with a TV tuner card and a monitor will be able to replace the comfort and convenience of plopping down on the couch to watch TV.

  18. So I guess.... on Iris Scanners in Canadian Airports · · Score: 1, Funny

    The next thing we'll see are precogs preventing violent crimes.

  19. Still though... on PCs Losing Out as a Gaming Platform? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Higher resolutions won't compensate for the lack of control you have with the game pads.

  20. Re:Using FTP to upload calendars instead of WebDAV on Use Your Mac to Share iCal Calendars · · Score: 1

    That's good to know. Now I only need to purchase Jaguar so I can use iCal.

  21. Re:"Funny" domains coming up... on .us Domains Coming in 2002 · · Score: 1

    Actually, wouldn't it be

    http://toys.r.us ?

    I would make it a backwards 'R,' but my keyboard got stuck.

  22. ION? Fiber to the home! on Sprint ION's $100/mo, 8Mbps Home Service Tanks · · Score: 1

    Now we just have to hope fiber to the home is successful enough to become wide spread. Geek dream? It's 7Mbps down and 4.5Mbps up....don't know that considered fast enough to make it a dream but...

  23. Re:Too hard to keep up with... on Ellison's ID Card Plan Gets More Attention · · Score: 1

    Hmmmmmm, going this route sounds like this could end up being the "mark"

  24. The job isn't the fun part on Are There Any Fun Tech Jobs Left? · · Score: 1

    Well, my job isn't fun (tech support), but everyone in my department is pretty close (it's only 5 guys) and we do have some fun after work. After hours we participate in some networked computer games and some nerf wars. Our manager is fine with it as long as our work does not fall behind and he even participates sometimes.

    I think if we didn't have this to blow off some steam after talking to all those customers, we'd all go insane.

  25. Re:Other 'Missing' DVD titles on Star Wars Episode I DVD Review · · Score: 1

    I don't know about Back to the Future, but definitely Indiana Jones. Is there some sort of restriction preventing these films from being distributed on DVD?
