  1. Re:Keyboard Navigation Mouse Navigation on Fold 'n' Drop Window Interaction · · Score: 1

    I'm not positive how Expose looks or works within OSX but the way you describe sounds much like my Alt-Tab in XP (not the standard one--it is one of the Microsoft extensions/plus/whatever). Alt-Tab pops up a quick list of all open windows with a small preview of the window contents. Easy to tap the tab and flip between them.

  2. Re:No, they can't! on iTunes Sells 500 Millionth Song · · Score: 0

    I'm sorry but the answer to your question is currently tied up in trademark litigation. Please rephrase your question and consider this a formal c&d with regard to posing the question in its original form.

  3. Re:Chicks like Sci Fi too! on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Premiere · · Score: 1

    Just curious--for the record--did you deflate and box her back up afterwards or leave her blown up through the wedding? Also, which of your friends did the wedding?

  4. Re:Wait! I'm from Missouri! on Sci-Fi on the Cheap · · Score: 1

    Missouri is just a very slowly pronounced / drawn out misery.

  5. Re:What's your problem with Pournelle? on A Review of the 128KB Macintosh · · Score: 1

    Jerry P--is that you? Touchy, touchy.

  6. Re:The Force is *retarded* with this one... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    To be fare he did say "Jedi Knight" which I believe would be widely understood applies to one have "force" powers. The term "Christian" does not imply that one can turn water into wine--but does involve belief in one that could (or really believe in one that can to really be Christian).

    However, his dare could be equated to Christianity in that just as Jesus refused to be lured into it (sorry, can't cite the acutal story/book that this was in) I'm certain a Jedi would not as well (only a Sith type person). So, dare a Jedi to use his powers and he will, in accordance with his beliefs, refuse to.

    Man, I can't believe I just typed all that shit--did I really hit the "Submit" button--crap.

  7. Re:What About the Others? on USPTO Rejects SBC Browser Patent · · Score: 2, Funny

    "...Seriously, having kids and being forced to use baby wipes..."

    Look, Mr. Jackson, I understood that you were going to lay low and play it safe for a bit.

  8. Re:bush judges on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    "...as these justices have aged, their rulings have gradually begun to slant more toward the liberal side..."

    Interesting. So, as senility and physical frailty creep in so do liberal opinions.

  9. Re:Okay, Okay on Microsoft Cuts Anti-Virus Support For Unix / Linux · · Score: 1

    Hmmm---now why does that sound familiar?

  10. Re:Block on Adopt a [Chinese] Blog · · Score: 1, Troll

    Great---I wonder how many Chinese deaths I can be responsible for by doing this? With me nice and safe over here.

  11. Re:Oh, the Irony! on Spyware Floods in Through BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Why can't the technical community find a way to get this activity recognized/labeled as terrorism. Once that happens we see definite government intervention--many more resources for search and destroy missions.

  12. Re:Mmm... yummy... on U.S. Offers Glimpse at Manhattan Project Facility · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmmmm...no BBQ for them then.

  13. Re:Mmm... yummy... on U.S. Offers Glimpse at Manhattan Project Facility · · Score: 1

    "Dontcha just love the smell of burnt baby flesh in the morning"

    Actually, Vietnam era Napalm had a pretty overpowering odor--so it all pretty much smells the same (baby flesh, housing, equipment, adult enemy soilders, etc.). So it's hard to answer your question (unless of course you've found a way to burn baby flesh and preserve the actual flesh smell)?

  14. Re:Same as any job on What You Should Know When Taking a University Job? · · Score: 1

    It will pretty much be like any "wanted" "got to have" "realy need to be doing" project at my University. You will invest (in this case free time) huge amounts of time researching, planning, budgeting, etc. Once the final numbers are delivered you'll receive a "hmmm...guess we can't do that right now--but we'll keep it on the table".

  15. Re:Now.. on CA Warns Of Massive Botnet Attack · · Score: 3, Funny

    True, but if it truly were an American deal there would be a rebate involved somewhere (where you have to send in screenshots of the attack, printed MAC addresses from the machines, etc.).

  16. Re:WOOT! on Megafauna Extinction Due to Climate · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it just after a climate announcement like this in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" that everything went to shit? Come to think of it--it is rather cold here for June...

  17. Re:Blackberry killer... on Gates Releases Details on New Mobile OS · · Score: 1

    Fruit Fucker, aka Juicer

  18. Re:Don't forget about Wal-Mart on Amazon Talking with Netflix And Blockbuster · · Score: 1
    Actually they do carry Grand Theft (my copies within the series were purchased at a local WalMart store). They also sell it online:

    Grant Theft at WalMart

  19. Re:The Three Point Plan on Recovering Domains from Negligent Registrars? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "In print it's liable..." ...uh, yeah....liable to be considered libel.

  20. Re:Paradigm shift on Black Holes 'Do Not Exist,' Contends Physicist · · Score: 1

    or even worse...continued mangling of Andromeda

  21. Re:I know an Ultaportable App on Ultaportable Apps: Take Your Thumbware Anywhere · · Score: 1

    "...bureaucracy and its derived words are difficult to spell..."

    Uhh, so, as long as the word is "difficult" then the spelling Nazi will let us off the hook?

  22. Re:hmm on Lab-Made Fireball May Be a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    ..."Black holes do not 'suck'"...

    I guess that depends on whether or not you are currently being pulled apart by one. Oh, you meant literally...

  23. Re:It's called... on Sunlight in a Tube · · Score: 1

    Back in my day we called them windows. Of course then we were hit by a trademark lawsuit from Microsoft. Bricked them all over and installed elecric lighting.

  24. Re:No, Really? on IBM Using iPod to boot Linux on PCs · · Score: 1

    Not the point. The point of using this instead is that I have work pay for my iPod since it is a recovery tool. Of course it would need to be maintained and upgraded by them as well just like any other tool I use.

  25. Re:Whose weapons? on U.S. Army Guide to Code Breaking · · Score: 1

    "What are they planning on, war with the British ;-)"

    I think you might be suprised/bothered/upset by just who the US Army plans on war with--they leave no option unplanned (granted many of the plans suck).
