  1. Re:Playing D.A. here.... on IBM Clinches Security Certification for Linux · · Score: 1

    The only accountability you have with most commercial EULAs is the market. If the market decides the feature needs to be fixed, it'll be fixed. Of course, key players often define the market--I'm sure the government would fits in this category.

  2. It's been mentioned before on SuperDrive Options for Combo Drive PowerBooks? · · Score: 0

    but an external firewire dvd drive is what you want. iDVD (part of the 49 dollar iLife package) will work on it. Get a firewire enclosure and the same model as a Superdrive if you're scared about compatibility.

  3. Re:Not necessary. on iPhoto 2: The Missing Manual · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's just what they want you to think. When Windows 95 shipped, the thinking at the time (and still is today) was that consumers would perceive software to be easy to use if it had no "need" of a manual. It sucks having to plop down 50 bucks for a book telling me how to do some of the more intermediate tasks, let alone the advanced ones.

    Apple and Microsoft _should_ be shipping manuals with their products, hands down. Sure I could spend my time playing and figure out a way to do things and yes, the net is a great resource, but I'd rather have a vendor-provided method for training and get my work done so I can play with my Nintendo.

  4. Ahh, the plug-in on XForms Becomes Proposed Recommendation · · Score: 1

    <nosarcasm>This is a truly great use of the plug-in.</nosarcasm>
    If this keeps up, more specs might be produced before finding their ways into the core codes of the top browsers. I mean, seriously, did IE 5 need that xslt engine?

  5. Re:Took him a while on Wrestler Maxx Payne Sues Game Publisher · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, but if their lawyers are any good, they would have done their homework to know that the name "Max Payne" was pretty close to something someone else is/was using.

  6. IIRC on Digitized Gutenberg Bible Available · · Score: 1

    this is the first copy of the Bible to use the word "sucker".

  7. and all the media seems interested in on 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Stars Out There · · Score: 4, Funny

    are J-Lo and Ben Affleck...bummer

  8. Quick! on Escape Velocity Makes It To Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    someone port the old Star Wars mod to windows (and EVN)!

  9. what they should implement on Star Wars Galaxies Auctions Afoot · · Score: 4, Interesting

    is gambling! Go to the local cantina, and try to win a starship. What's more Star Wars than that? The answer to that question seems to be killing womp rats, from everything I've heard about the game (I haven't played it).

  10. like it's really a question on 'The Playstation Job' Heisters Arrested · · Score: 1
  11. This Just In... on Olmos Tells Fans: "Don't Watch Galactica" · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you have a "strict belief" in sci-fi, you're setting yourself up for a whole world of hurt.

  12. Johnnie Cochrane says... on Study: Wi-Fi users Still Don't Encrypt · · Score: 1

    if you don't encrypt, you must acquit!

  13. What's this guy do... on He Blows Things Up So You Don't Have To · · Score: 1

    when he gets frustrated?

  14. Re:So?? on Real Life Doom With Point-And-Shoot Positioning · · Score: 0

    From this day forward, you are hereby known as Slashy McSlash. FWIW, I agree with you 100%.

  15. Re:This is great news for Linux on The Power Behind the SCO Nuisance · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yep, no person can own an idea--Amazon.com owns them!

  16. Re:Insanity! on SCO Terminates IBM's Unix License · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    OT, but one of my friends like to nuke the dogs in Red Alert. He loved to hear a group of about 100 dogs scream out in pain at once.

  17. If you think that is big business on Licensing Music For Games Big Business · · Score: 1

    you know nothing of big business. 20 grand is an insignificant sum in industries of billions.

  18. about the 970 on Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If for some reason Apple doesn't have a 970 machine ready or to be announced at WWDC, all hell is gonna break loose. The underground hype is ridiculous at this point. Every 4th day I see a new story posted somewhere about how Apple must be using the 970 chip. It's all vaporware until they show us a box. People are so paranoid to purchase new machines from Apple for fear of being left out in the cold. Not that Apple actively discourages this though, but at this stage in the game, what can they possibly do to stop the 970 expectation short of actually producing a box?

  19. Re:Now I need to buy a GameCube on GameCube ISOs Released? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, it's free with the gamecube right now, which gives us two possibilities: 1.) you're waiting to be paid to play zelda or 2.) you didn't know about this offer--go get a gamecube.

    The gamecube zelda is among the best of the series.

  20. So... on Star Trek - Elite Force II Goes Gold, Team Laid Off · · Score: 4, Funny

    don't expect a patch any time soon.

  21. hypocrisy on School May Turn Down $43K In Free Macs · · Score: 1

    and how is this different than the Ballmer going to Europe to pursuade people to use windows?

    Oh yeah, in our reaction to it. Boo MS, too bad for apple.

    I just wish things would work seemlessly enough for people not to have exclusive contacts of any kind.

  22. To make it worse... on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Bootleg · · Score: 3, Funny

    the publisher's name is Phenixsoft. It's only a matter of time before the Phoenix BIOS has a Street Fighter game builtin, and once they do, you know they're gonna sue the crap outta these guys.

  23. What I'd pay for on GameFAQs Acquired by CNET · · Score: 2, Interesting

    a pdf of the manual for console games. Renting games from blockbuster requires a trip to gamefaqs to figure out what all of the buttons do. It'd also be cool to get some old 8-bit manuals too.

  24. I'm holding out for on Terminator 3 - War Of The Machines Rumored · · Score: 2, Interesting

    the machines from the Terminator to setup the Matrix, in the mother of all crossovers, which Hollywood has never really done before. Imagine, the machines not only go back in time to kill off John Connor, but after the war is over, setup the Matrix to enslave the people for all time.

  25. Re:Edison is like Ogg Vorbis on Media Monopoly: Thomas Edison to Hillary Rosen · · Score: 1

    The Bon Scott stuff is where AC/DC really shines.

    "She's Got The Jack", both the original poker and the STD versions are great.

    And who can mess with TNT? I mean, he's dynamite.
