  1. Re:Safari does clean up after itself. on Safari 4's Messy Trail · · Score: 1

    But is the average Safari user's cache weighing in at several gigabytes? I don't think so. That was just put there to cause alarm for attention-getting reasons.

    Mine was 1.38GB and I'm a fairly average user. And that was with Top Sites disabled.

  2. Re:Already removed my links. on Amazon Culls "Offensive" Books From Search System · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yeah, I gave up on Amazon when it started throwing its weight around in the print-on-demand arena. It's become as big a market-distorting force as Wal-mart, and I don't feel like supporting them anymore.

  3. Re:If its not april Fools on Yeast-Powered Fuel Cell Feeds On Human Blood · · Score: 1

    Is anybody else a little wary of yeast cells that can live inside the human body and process blood?

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Fixated on "seizes" I guess.

    It seizes to amaze me as to why they would make this public, 8 days before conficker is "supposed" to become active.

    Assuming English isn't your first language: "It never ceases to amaze me" is what you meant, i.e. "I'm always surprised."

    Thanks, I'll check it out. I've found a few streaming stations that I like, including SomaFM and WFMU.

  12. Re:Is this that important ? on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 4, Insightful

    II can't find a single person above 15 who likes 2000's music. Why is that?

    Define your terms. I'm an old guy (53), and I like a lot of music made in this century, but I despise the dreck that makes it to the top of the charts. The current A&R policy for pop music is driven by a business model based on focus groups; it's a dinosaur, thrashing its tail in its dying throes, crushing a few of the tiny mammalian successors that will eventually reign supreme!!!!

    I feel better now.

    But I still wish radio didn't suck so much.

    I believe it's called a "micturition tournament" in the UK.

    Obviously not, we are capable of thinking with one and not with the other at any given moment!

  21. Re:Hubble Windex: For that Deep [Space] Shine! on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 1

    I have to wonder if this wasn't a large matter/antimatter event. Given that the "object" was described as suddenly appearing, increasing in brightness, then falling off until it disappeared.

    Sounds more like the deceleration sequence of a Killer probe. Now I don't care about my Lehman stock.

  24. Re:Remember in November. on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 1

    It's axiomatic that any person who does what is necessary to become a viable Presidential candidate will not be worth voting for.

    I remember reading a line in one of Arthur C. Clarke's novels that said (paraphrasing) "In the 20th century it was finally decided that the only absolute disqualification for holding public office was the desire to do so." Good times, good times...
