    I said they can figure it out. Not they are any good at it or have any design sense.

    Even 14 year old kids on Myspace can figure out CSS.

    WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt. Has a much better ring than WD-17 or WD-666.

  8. Re:So why isn't Adobe expected to sue Apple? on Adobe Threatens Microsoft With Suit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because Apple licensed it from Adobe.

    I think I need to upgrade from this grayscale monitor.

  10. Re:How? on ArsTechnica Reviews The Intel Mac Mini (Core Solo) · · Score: 1

    You are correct. I was under the impression that the internal graphics was partially dependant on the CPU. Thanks for clearing that up.

  11. Why keep SSH on? on Mac OS X Security Competition Ends in 30 Minutes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That's one of the first things you turn off to protect the machine.

  12. Upgradable on ArsTechnica Reviews The Intel Mac Mini (Core Solo) · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm happy it's al least processor upgradable. See here. Upgrading the processor would speed the internal graphics as well. Not a bad little bugger.

    On the Mac, you would open the Finder Preferences and check "Show all file extensions" in the Advanced tab.

    Now they's saying we evolved from sharks? What will those heathens say next?! Pfff, probably that we evolved from bacteria!

  15. Re:The MacBook Pro on MacWorld Keynote Announces x86 iMac & Laptop · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sure but you'd still not be able to run MacOS X, the purpose behind getting a Mac in the first place.

  16. Re:my gawd on Installing Linux On The New Apple iBook · · Score: 1

    So the iBook supports more RAM, has firewire, better battery life, video out, standard video chip not using standard RAM, AND it's cheaper? I think you inadvertently made my point. Thanks.

  17. Re:my gawd on Installing Linux On The New Apple iBook · · Score: 1

    For a fraction of the cost? Have you seen the specs? Name one name brand laptop that will offer you this (or comparable):

    500MHz G3 (256KB on die L2)
    64MB RAM soldered on the board
    CDROM drive
    10GB HDD
    10/100 ethernet
    56k modem
    12.1 TFT
    8MB 3d video chip
    5 hour battery life (with one battery)

    Pity is Americans should be shocked and outraged at Microsoft's past, present and future plans, but are too busy watching reality TV.

  19. Re:Sluggish PC hardware market? on Compaq Shifts Focus · · Score: 1

    The power supplies aren't even standard ATX connectors. They have 4 extra pins (these are the P3 DeskPro EN series). And what's up with those slotted/torx combo screws?

    I think he meant they spelled 'Congratulations' wrong.

  21. Re:powerpc. on IBM To Make CPU For Sony's PS3 · · Score: 1

    Ironic that the fastest PPC is from MOTOROLA not IBM (733MHz 7450 vs 700MHz 750CXe). By the way, that didn't split the group apart. It was IBM's refusal to adopt a SIMD.

  22. Re:No sympathy, yet a suggestion. on TiVo Upgrade Isn't · · Score: 1

    I got the impression that his TiVo is still usable, it's just more annoying to use. Try suing someone because they are annoying. Try suing microsoft because your upgrade to Windows ME from 95 broke compatibility with one or several of your programs.

    Adobe has a patent on the colors Cyan Magenta, Yellow , and Black? What has this country come to?

  25. Re:There have been other image editors on the Mac on GIMP And OS X · · Score: 1

    In response to my own questions, Photoshop has become hugely bloated in the last couple of years. Photoshop 6 is great but my typical install is 2009 files on the Mac. That is insane. What is the Application footprint of Gimp? Does it do CMYK for the print industry?
