  3. I've had this for a while. on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    I have the same goddamn thing on my Windows PC already, minus the "convenient" store front for the majors to shovel their shit onto my hdd. It does great visualizations, available in hundreds of varieties by hundreds of artists, has literally 10,000 skins available for it and uses next to zero system resources. It's stable and easy to use. It's called Winamp 2.9

    And I'd just like to say my grammar really isn't that bad. I was just try to beat the flurry of "Thank God they didn't find " posts so I could get the Mr. Funny Man Super Points first.

    ...I used to work 50 hours a week and come home able to have a fullfilling outside life. Now I work 60 a week and come home dead tired. My attitude is poor and my pay is the same as it was before. Doesn't look as though I'll get a raise this year. I don't feel fortunate. I just feel like the economy sucks.

  12. GO BUZZ on NASA Wasting Time and Money on Moon Landing Doubters · · Score: 1

    From the article, apparently some moron confronted Old Buzz Aldrin about the issue. "The controversy recently emerged from cyberspace in the person of Bart Sibrel, who has made a film questioning the Apollo Moon missions and who confronted astronaut Buzz Aldrin at a Beverly Hills hotel on Sept. 9 and demanded that Aldrin swear on a Bible that he had in fact walked on the moon. The 72-year-old Aldrin, the second man ever to touch the lunar surface, punched the 37-year-old Sibrel in the face. Sibrel asked that assault charges be filed, but Los Angeles County prosecutors declined. A videotape of the incident showed Sibrel following Aldrin on the street with a Bible and calling him a "thief, liar and coward," one prosecutor said." GO BUZZ!

  18. Useful on Anoto-based Pens From Logitech · · Score: 1

    Like I said bfore, if they came out with a way to convert sloppy handwriting to text, and could program a syntax onto the pen, well, you could get a lot of work done. Gotta scrap of paper? Then code. On the bus, in the john, when you're bored at family functions, at church, etc. whatever. No fragile expensive awkward laptop........just a pen and paper.

  19. If Microsoft were a man..... on Microsoft: No Xbox for You! · · Score: 1

    ...he'd be the proverbial cowboy who shoots himself in the foot. Instead of handling this like any other sort company would, they freak out and say they'll deny a whole region of the world the pleasure of a crappy console. Fools. Quick, someone come out with something like that here in America!
