I've always found my iBook to be too heavy to read comfortably this way. I do most of my reading sitting on the train or sitting up in bed. So I ended up using my Dell Axim most of the time. The screen is a bit too small though.

How could your comment be moderated insightful? Interesting perhaps, but insightful???
Methinks you've been playing too much Call of Duty. It's damn hard to shoot long guns accurately on a ship that's heaving and rolling on the ocean. The rule of thumb when engaging vehicles, boats or hardened targets is that you need some decent firepower, and that means 7.62mm or.50caliber heavy machineguns or bigger. Don't forget that these pirates may be shooting at you as well, which makes your job that much harder.
If you got anything faster than the X850XT on AGP, wouldn't you be bottle-necking your system anyway with an old CPU? And the X850XT should be damn fast enough to handle anything you throw at it anyway. Sheeesh.
I think he meant that's fucked up because you let the dog bite your fist. But I guess in that kind of situation you're going to get bitten anyway, so you might as well take the offensive.
Psychiatric or psychological testing is mostly BS anyway, I'm not surprised that he would pass. I don't know why this kind of Mickey Mouse "science" is even allowed in the court.
As a web designer I agree, the "re-designed" Onion site is awful. I'm not sure if it's all his blame though -- sometimes the client gives you no leeway.
I'd like to think that if someone ordered me to make an awful site design like that I'd simply say "fuck off, I'm not touching that", but you never really know until you're in that situation.
The politicians actually say that the terrorists "want to take away our freedom". The ironical, fucked up thing is: it's not the terrorists that are taking away our freedoms, it's the politicians -- by introducing draconian "anti-terror" laws.
I have similar experiences with HP's consumer inkjet and laser printers. They tend to start malfunctioning after a year or two. What's worse, the ink cartridges are a rip-off -- more so than the other manufacturers'.
I'm not buying a HP printer again for the foreseeable future. Now it's Canon and Epson for me.
I don't doubt you, but in my Windows XP SP2, clicking the bottom-left corner just makes my cursor jump in a little, but doesn't bring up the Start menu. Weird.
A lot of people really do have nowhere else to go when a Hurricane strikes. Not everybody has a car or transport. They didn't all just stay behind to spite you and Bush, you know.
Yeah, there's a lot of scumbags, murderers and rapists running aorund loose. But most of those who were left behind were just ordinary people with no means of escape.
And those tourists left stranded, damn those foreign hippies -- always trying to make teh George W look bad!!!!
I don't know why some people say the graphics are crap... to me, they look brilliant, and the engine is keeping up with other games in 2005. It certainly looks no worse than games like WoW.
Do you have all the graphics options turned up to max? Are you playing at 1280x1024 or higher, with FSAA and AF?
I agree. There's always claims of people being modded down for being critical of OpenSource or being pro-Microsoft, but I don't ever see it actually happening.

I agree, WTF??? Sounds like the guy is an advertising/marketing hack or something. Mod him down.
Who the fuck on Slashdot would use software as shitty as this, that isn't even free??

You did the right thing. I don't blame the dog though, I blame the owners -- they're the ones who raised it this way. Goddamn humans.

Going through a heat wave above ground in a ventilated or open area is quite different to being trapped in an enclosed space in 30+ degree heat.
This is why kids trapped in a car can die from heat exhaustion even though the heat outside is quite bearable.

Cause and effect? Or effect and cause?
John Denver was not a sniper in Vietnam. What kind of crack are you smoking???

You might not need or want an AJAX word processor/spreadsheet/calendar/etc, but other people do.
Why is your post modded insightful anyway?
What about Novell GroupWise?
WTF? This is the funniest post I've come across in a while! Pure gold!
Oh BTW it's not the military that's evil. It's George W Bush's government which is evil.

So go create an account and come back and say that, you spineless twit.

So says the Anonymous Coward!
Is this supposed to be a Funny post?
Politicians are the last people in the world that can be trusted, especially if they've officially denied something.
Stop spreading FUD and bad-mouthing Microsoft. You're upsetting the masses.
You haven't heard? You're not allowed to say anything bad about Microsoft, because that makes you a Linux-loving M$-hating Zealot.
Now shooo and be a good citizen and go back to your daily Monkey-boy peace chants and meditations.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The crew of the Enola Gay sound just like Al Qaida terrorists when they justify blowing up civilians.
Just goes to show... people are scumbags, no matter where in the world you go.
