  1. Kinda disappointing on Is it Time for a Magnetic Floating Bed? · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's held to its place with small metal wires, so it's not totally flying. I thought it'd be a solution against bed bugs and fleas, as they wouldn't be able to get on the bed. But no.

  2. Not working on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I don't know about you, but I never managed to download anything from there. Before the raid the torrents never worked, even the newest ones. Now it can't even get me working .torrent files.

  3. Yoffi! on Drug Found to Aid Vegetative Patients · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Poor Ariel Sharon really needs that thingie. It sucks when he's asleep because they can't make satires of him.

  4. Re:"If it can be done with a PC" on SGI Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    I mean.... you wrote that if anything can be done with a PC, it'll be eventually be done with a PC. Meaning: Apple is in danger.

    Unless I mis-understood you.

  5. 10x on Rain Drops Signal Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the correction.

  6. "If it can be done with a PC" on SGI Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Tell that to Steve Jobs..

  7. Did you know on Rain Drops Signal Cell Phones · · Score: 3, Interesting

    that the cellular coverage rate in Israel is bigger than 100% because many people own more than one cellular?

  8. Disappointing + searching iTMS on Songbird Flies Today · · Score: 1


    I was under the impression I can connect to the iTunes music store using this program.. but I guess I can't.
    Can I purchase MP3s with this program? Even if I'm not in the USA?

    And another question - is it possible to search the itunes music store without installing itunes? (and without having a US IP address)

  9. "hopefully"? on Songbird Flies Today · · Score: 1

    The good news is that by being open source that will (hopefully) not last very long.

    I didn't get this sentence. It seems incomplete. Why hopefully it won't last very long?

  10. The result on Stopping Disruptive Users in Online Communities? · · Score: 1

    So what would happen? Will you update us by writing a journal?
    I liked the $1 idea.. seems to be a good way to deter trolls, although seems that on some parts of the world (like Canada), people seem to avoid credit cards.

  11. Re:It is Official on NetBSD's COMPAT_DARWIN Adds XDarwin Support · · Score: 1

    Are you talking about this thing in the AWOL Surak's journal? I didn't imply they are sex fiends. But I do believe that the comic shows the lack of logic in furries. I don't like the idea of those hybrids. Talking animals are fine and humans are fine, but half-animals? It is gross and hairy!

    And it's a pity you don't know Hebrew..

  12. Re:It is Official on NetBSD's COMPAT_DARWIN Adds XDarwin Support · · Score: 1

    My previous comment was in Hebrew. Aren't you supposed to know that language?

  13. Re:It is Official on NetBSD's COMPAT_DARWIN Adds XDarwin Support · · Score: 1

    Lama asita oti FOE? Ata tembel!

  14. Re:Scale is such a broad word... on Scriptiing The Enterprise With Java And PHP · · Score: 1

    Hmm.. does ASP, or ASP.NET, scale better than PHP?

  15. omg on Max Payne 2 Gets Love Life, New Face · · Score: 2, Informative

    Those are rendered screenshots?

  16. Re:Toasters on Do Later LCDs Need Screen Savers? · · Score: 1

    That's very weird..
    I tried installing the "deluxe edition" on NT4 once and it created an infinite loop or something like that when I tried getting into the display preferences screen... so I was forced to uninstall it. So I don't think I can try installing it on w2k.

    Did you have to run it in compatibility mode?
    Can I download it from you? ;)

  17. Re:Toasters on Do Later LCDs Need Screen Savers? · · Score: 1

    You do? Which version of AD are you using?
    Maybe I should take it back from the girl I lent it to..

  18. Toasters on Do Later LCDs Need Screen Savers? · · Score: 2

    But AfterDark works only in Win9X!
    I wonder if anyone's ever going to make a freeware version of it, or a linux version.. I bought AfterDark because I liked it so much, and then I moved to W2K and AD was gone. I'm stuck with the "Starfield simulation" since then.

  19. Re:My thoughts. on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    I had that problem too. I tried both with a USB ADSL modem and a 33k modem.
    Stupid program.

  20. Calculus for dummies on The Best of Popular Science? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not exactly popular science, but The infamous "X for dummies" company is going to publish a new book in 2 months: Calculus for dummies.

    I always laughed about this series when it came to programming books, but Calculus (aka Infinitesimal math) can be an evil and tricky subject, and maybe this book can help me - especially if it's going to be as interesting as Fermat's Last Theorem. What do you think?

    All hail the 8 that fell on its side.

  21. GSM has lotsa radiation on Slashback: GSM, Buffy, Wobble · · Score: 1

    I haven't thoroughly verified it, but from the papers I read, GSM always got a lot of radiation. And from the tests I did, GSM made the worst interference - my GSM phone causes problems in every audio-based device.

    Unlike that, CDMA doesn't make any interference.

  22. I hope they bring math too on Free Documentation Base - Docs.eu.org Online · · Score: 1

    Right now they don't have all the math there. All that heavy calculus, discreet and differential subject that I'll have to start studying next year...

  23. How sad on Foiling Cinema Pirates · · Score: 5, Funny

    You mean I won't be able to download those pirated movie captures? So sad.. they are much better than DVDs, since you can actually feel like you're in the cinema. You hear the croud laughing, crying or eating popcorn, and see all the late people who block your vision.

    I truly hope pirates will get over this obstacle.

  24. Re:speaking for supertasters on A Link Between Taste Buds And Cancer · · Score: 1

    Damnit. Does it mean I'm a supertaster?
    I do envy all the other people who like Broccoli. I can't stand it.. I'm not sure if it's because it's bitter, but I just can't enjoy eating it in any way.

    I also frequently complain that the lettuce is bitter, but if I use only the inner leaves I usually have no problems.. and I like peas, parsley and cucumbers. I don't have problems with most types of sugary foods.. although I don't like excess sugar.

    So.. the only way to find whether I'm a supertaster or not is to soak my tongue in blue food coloring? I wish there was some other way. I guess I'm an above-average-taster, but not a supertaster.

  25. Re:I'd rather dance with a girl than a TV on Video Games in Gym Class - DDR 101? · · Score: 1

    Try folk dances, too. I think that in ballroom dances, there are no fixed dancing rules, and the dance depends on the leading ability of the guy, which might be scary, or bore the girl.
