  1. Re:European residents only on Origen 360 Revealed in Less Than 12 Hours · · Score: 1
    Looks like they forgot about Poland.You should be glad. This is one evil empire that did forget about Poland.
  2. Re:What? on Jobs Resists Music Industry Pressure · · Score: 0, Redundant
    You can just get the song you want rather than the whole album. It's rare today to actually like all the songs on an album.
    Not if you're getting the right albums.
  3. Re:Just a thought on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    What aircraft lands nose down?!?

  4. Re:What apple should do now on Ars Technica's iPod nano Dissection · · Score: 1

    "Who the F*CK thought non-nonstick cookware was a good idea ????"

    Obviously someone that never used Le Creuset cookware. That's what I traded up to from that annodized Calphalon crap that is too hard to clean and scratches too easily.

    Yes, you're reading a cookware (technology) flame war on Slashdot.

  5. Re:Funny this should come up... on Ars Technica's iPod nano Dissection · · Score: 1

    My 20 GB Ipod has never complained about joining me when I go XC mountain biking.

  6. Re:New look for iTunes on iPod nano, iTunes 5, iTunes Phone · · Score: 1

    "Is this the beginning of the end for brushed metal?"

    I hope so. I could actually dig everything going to the new Itunes style or the new Mail style as long as they retain the cool toolbar style of normal Aqua applications.

    Good riddance brushed metal!

  7. Re:Conspiracy Theory on iPod nano, iTunes 5, iTunes Phone · · Score: 1

    Kanye West performed at the end of the announcement event yesterday. He thanked Steve for still allowing him to perform.

  8. Re:No more apples for me on iPod nano, iTunes 5, iTunes Phone · · Score: 1

    "On Windows XP, syncing to it in ITunes (via USB) causes Windows to reboot about half the time."

    And you're blaming the Ipod for this? Windows is the piece of junk that is rebooting when you plug a peripheral into it.

  9. Re:Odd story about Katrina victims. on Post-Katrina Images on Google Maps · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Most Americans think the word refugee is derogatory because they associate it with those miserable brown, yellow, and black people in far flung parts of the globe. Claiming that there is something wrong with calling these people refugees is what is really offensive.

    They're seeking refuge. They're refugees. Get over it.

  10. Re:Skype Prank on How I Failed the Turing Test · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've heard that prank way too many times on the Howard Stern show. They call it "Chinese Confusion."

  11. Re:Apple innovates the cellphone? on Apple To Unveil iPod Cellphone Next Week? · · Score: 1

    I hope it only has one button like the Ipod. No keypad is better than a too tiny keypad.

  12. Re:Vista is a total rip-off of Tiger... on Comparing Tiger and Vista Beta 1 · · Score: 2, Funny

    "And no, Im not running XP on the same hardware I ran Windows 95 on :) My upgrades were not forced by Windows versions tho."

    Yes, but you didn't tell everyone what they were really forced by: Office versions.

  13. Re:Vista is a total rip-off of Tiger... on Comparing Tiger and Vista Beta 1 · · Score: 1, Informative

    TFA doesn't mention anything about the performance of Vista. So, reading it wouldn't have helped the grandparent.

  14. Re:no longer compelling? on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: 1

    And that just makes my point. It's the storage, not the interface. And POP is for lamers. IMAP is the proper protocol and Gmail doesn't support it.

  15. Re:no longer compelling? on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: 1

    It's the storage. Other interfaces are better.

  16. Numbers change on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: 1

    What happens when your telephone number changes and it is used for a password reset?

  17. Re:Mark Twain's view on it on Japan Plans Test of 'New Concorde' · · Score: 1

    Who cares about CEOs. I want to be able to get from North Carolina to France in less than 8 hours.

  18. Re:Spot the disgruntled Brit on Japan Plans Test of 'New Concorde' · · Score: 1

    Now people in this version discussion are referring to this one as a collaboration between Japan and Europe.

    Get it right!

  19. Re:there's a need for it on Japan Plans Test of 'New Concorde' · · Score: 1

    Clue: Shanghai isn't in Japan.

  20. Object on Sun Spearheads Open DRM · · Score: 1

    Objecting to it on moral and practical grounds is obviously better.

  21. Re: planned? on Review of Apple's "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    Exposé.

  22. Re:Wost Mouse Ever on Review of Apple's "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    You've got to love people with decade stale complaints.

  23. Re:Who and How? on British Intel Shuts Down al-Qaeda Sites · · Score: 1

    What a bunch of morons! They shut down sites that probably led or could lead to some of their most valuable intel. So, they've caused their foe to become even more invisible.

    They should really hire Pierce Brosnan back, they've gone downhill since letting him go.

  24. Re:Button crazy! on IE7 Bugs and Reviews · · Score: 1

    Turns out that is a screenshot of "Crazy Browser." No wonder they named it that.

  25. Re:Does it support W3C standards? on IE7 Bugs and Reviews · · Score: 1

    What about PNG Alpha transparency? Does it support that?
