  1. Re:Sudden Motion Sensor on Apple Updates PowerBooks · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is this one of those don't try this at home stories?

  2. SMB fixed for me on Apple Offers Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update · · Score: 1

    SMB browsing and connecting to Windows shares works again. Was wondering what was wrong. Also, VNC now allows me to connect to windows machines. Now I can watch what accounting is doing again!

  3. Re:Bleh.. on Wireless Mouse with no Batteries · · Score: 1

    I thought the battery weight was figured into the design of the mouse. I can't stand those mini usb mice which weigh next to nothing. I once opened an old phone handset and it had a weight in it. The weight was there to give the handset some intrinsic value.

  4. Re:The horror... on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Been here all the time. However, I am impressed that Kerry and legions of lawyers aren't stampeeding the courts. The country needs to move on...

  7. Tick Show was not Tick I knew in book on Thus Spake Tick Creator Ben Edlund · · Score: 2, Insightful
    OK I'm a family guy. We loved the The Tick Book. The kids would pile in the bed on Saturday morning and we'd read another adventure. It was zany and stupendous. The humor was right up my line. Loved reading it out loud to them. They loved hearing.

    Now comes the show. We popped popcorn, crowded around the set. I feverishly adjusted the antenna. When did it start on the west coast? When...? Idea ... a neighbor has a dish . . . I drove down her driveway. "Can you tape this for me?" "You want me to tape what?" "I'll pick it up later!" I drive back.

    We all cuddle together ready for "The Tick!" Ah such joy awaits.

    It starts and the sexual inuendo, language are ripe. What's with what's her names costume . . . This is not for my kids. The fun is somewhere there but is just plain over-shadowed by the smut. This is not a family show. It is not the Tick I grew to know. We won't be watching it.

    I guess FOX just can't produce a clean funny show. I ask the author , "What happened to good clean zany?"
