  1. Erm... on RIAA Sales Compared to Download Statistics · · Score: 1

    Sorry, i hate to burst your bubble, but vagrant is a memeber. Sorry, i know it sucks. The RIAA and the big 5 suck, but unfortuntly some great bands on lesser known labels are also members.

  2. Newspapers... on RIAA Prepares Legal Blitz Against Filesharers · · Score: 1

    Great point about newspapers, they're an industry that has rapidly embraced the digital age. With my new wireless setup, every morning i can sit down at the breakfast table with my laptop, check my e-mail, read the news, read my local news, and even read the comics that would come with the pulp and ink morning roll. I'm sure i'll apreciate this situation even more come winter when i can spare myself going out on the porch in my boxers(i live in WI *shiver*). Newspapers already make most of their money from advertising, the internet just saves them on materials and distribution.

  4. It's a hassle. on Gates Says Windows Reliability Is Greater · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Windows update needs a little work. Its a pain in the ass. It pops up while your doing something, wihtout thinking you hit remind me later, because your in the middle of something and dont want to have to wait for it to install and the reboot the computer. What they need is a remind me at next shutdown option. I dont run windows update all that often because i'm always in the middle of something, but i know i wouldn't mind spending an extra five minutes before i shut down.

  5. Re:still need to replace more people with machines on How Everyday Things Are Made · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm in milwaukee right now watching the Harley 100 aniverssary parade on tv right now. A bit of history, Harleys used to be manufactured by assembly line, but their quality declined so much that the company almost went under, it changed hands a few times, and was eventually bought by the employees. Now the bikes are hand assembled by four man teams.

    Wow, i had to read that twice before i caught the word wire. I was wondering how chickens could be grown one strand at a time.

    Theres a fine line between zelotry and advertising.

  11. Opera? on Mozilla 1.5 Beta Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Uh, opera has a built in search bar that defaults to google and has about a dozen other types of searches built in too. It also has the wand, which is comparable to the google toolbars form filler, which seems to be the only other really useful feature of the toolbar. Thats according to this though, there are probably other features, i use Opera, so i've never tried the google toolbar.

  13. Re:Alien warships use AppleTalk! on Sci-Fi Movies and 'Bad Science' · · Score: 1

    Yes, the virus thing is rather unbelievable, but they did have 5 decades to study the alien technology. Or maybe the aliens just run windows.

  14. Radio Shack... on Sci-Fi Movies and 'Bad Science' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Seriously, go call radioshack right now and ask if they have flux capacitors in stock. They'll pause for a moment, then tell you they're out but should have more in stock in about two weeks.

    Sorry, that really is an oxymoron. I respect peoples decision not to eat meat, but the people i know who are full vegans just seem kind of sickly. You can't live on multi-vitamins.

    "New Scientist magazine reported that in the future, cars could be powered by hazelnuts. That's encouraging, considering an eight-ounce jar of hazelnuts costs about nine dollars. Yeah, I've got an idea for a car that runs on bald eagle heads and Faberge eggs."

  22. Re:Amazon? on Pirate Anime FAQ Updated · · Score: 1

    Perfect Sessions has English and Japanese sound tracks and English and Chinese subtitles. The english voices are the same as on Cartoon Network. Theres 9 eps per disc and the menus are ok, but the audio loop in the menus is atrocious. Other than some pixelation during gate scenes, esp in the one with the greenpeace searat guys, the set is ok.

  23. Amazon? on Pirate Anime FAQ Updated · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I probably bought the same set, Cowboy Bebop: The Perfect Sessions? After i ordered it i read some of the reviews, most of them were like "shame on amazon for selling pirate dvds". I got it and sure enough the set is a bootleg, but the entire set in decent quality for only $30, i dont really mind.

  25. Problem with that... on Cleaning Your Mice Wheels? · · Score: 1

    Most optical mice i've had have one or two if not all the screws underneath the pads (nylon, teflon?). They pry off easy enuf and stick back on ok, but they dont stay put too well after this. Having one of these pads come off and not knowing where the hell it went is a lot more detrimental to your mousing(verbing words weirds language) than a dirty scroll wheel.
