  3. Re:Somebody at GameFAQs claims to have it. on Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked · · Score: 1

    That was total BS. Seamus Finnigan as Half Blood Prince. From the book excerpt, "looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp." Seamus Finnigan can't be that old to be the Half Blood Prince.

  9. As a Mac salesperson on Desktop Linux Share Overtaking Macintosh · · Score: 1

    I do know some Mac users who wants Apple to have more market shares. And of course, my boss wants more market shares so that he'll have more business. Almost all Mac users I've encountered runs their OS as admin. They have zero sense of security. As for Apple's sales pitch, "Solid as rock", I've encountered so many crashes of the OS in just a very short period of time.

  21. Re:Good Enough on Motherboard Audio Comes Of Age · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I think, for the same price, ATi Radeon 7500 will be better than NVidia GeForce2. At least ATi helps the DRI folks by releasing the specification of the VGA card. So now you can have open source driver instead of proprietary one.
