  1. The only thing that comes to mind is... on Activating Vista Enterprise Using a Spoofed Server · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ..muahahahahahahaha. Ha.

  2. It's official. on Critical Review of the Zune · · Score: -1, Troll

    I like Andy.

  3. Re:JESUS FRACKING CHRIST on Firefox Losing Its Way? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Oh my gods. You don't know where the frack frack comes from?

  4. Not needed for proof. on The Dolphin With Leftover Legs · · Score: 1

    Since we have a pretty clear fossil evidence that mammals evolved on land and that the earliest mammals had legs, we can conclude the ancestors of dolphins and whales had legs. Physical evidence has been shown in rear vestigal legs, found in various stages of development (or whatever the antonymn of development is) in the fossil record of ancient whales.

  5. Verizon finally woke up on Bogus Experts Fight Your Right To Broadband · · Score: 1

    Verizon's hemmoraging of telecom customers to VOIP providers such as Vonage has finally made them realize that who ever delivers the fattest pipe at the best price to the home will win. They are working on a massive rollout of last-mile Fiber (FiOS) that will let them compete directly with cable companies for the same services. In the meantime the telcos will have to suffer (deservedly) the gradual loss of their customer base to broadband Internet access.

  6. Re:New Hardware Found..... on Vista to Allow "One Significant" Hardware Upgrade · · Score: 1

    That's fine, but the main question here is why would it even be an option? That aside, if you select the wrong option, why would they just shut down the machine instead of, say, locking the machine and putting a readable error message on the screen? No matter what the EULA and the FAQ say, this is simply, poor, almost malicious coding.

  7. YouTube sold me on both the Daily Show and Colbert on YouTube Removes Comedy Central Clips Due to DMCA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The reason that YouTube is such a good venue for the Daily Show and Colbert is that you can search clips from the shows by subject. You can't do that in iTunes. The other problem with using iTunes for all TV content is that a daily 20-minute show is not worth the same amount of money as an episode of Studio 60 or Battlestar Galactica. Charge 50 cents per episode and iTunes would probably increase its revenue, especially now that YouTube is dead. That is, dead beyond sharing baby videos and promoting Chinese lip-syncers.

  8. The potato chip industry... on Engineering Food at the Molecular Level · · Score: 1

    ...is screwed for awhile if this story makes the mainstream media. If we don't know which chip company is using it, we just have to avoid them all. It's a win-win for public health.

  9. Re:Perspectives on Evolution No Longer Worth Learning, Says Government · · Score: 1

    I was merely extending what you said about microevolution and explaining why it is easy to imagine how it could lead to dramatic physical changes and speciation over long periods of time. I don't think what I wrote sounded like a personal attack. Yes I agree a supreme being could create everything from scratch exactly how he wants. It's also possible monkeys could fly out of my butt, but not very.

  10. Re:Hey this is different! An Evolution debate! on Evolution No Longer Worth Learning, Says Government · · Score: 1

    You're either stupid, lazy, or a liar. Probably all three.

  11. Re:Perspectives on Evolution No Longer Worth Learning, Says Government · · Score: 1

    Ok, so take the "microevolution" that you accept, and geographically separate (mountains, deserts, oceans) two populations of the same species for a million years. Micorevolution could add up over that period of time to the point where the two species can no longer interbreed. One group may have needed to grow very tall to eat leaves on trees, while the other required small size and speed to escape local predators. If you believe in microevolution, then you need to consider that microevolutionary changes would have a cumulative affect that could be significant over extremely long periods of time. The separation of populations is one of the main keys here. I would agree that a single population without barriers to interbreeding would be unlikely to spin off other species; it would simply slowly change in form over the ages.

    So, what's your theory?

  13. Re:Good Enough on GUIs From 1984 to the Present · · Score: 1

    The 1987 System V screenshot is not a Mac OS, but and Apple ][ GUI.

  14. Re:Mocking? on Apple vs Microsoft- Who's the Copycat? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm a big Apple fan, but c'mon, did you even read the article? It was totally fair. He said explicity that he knows MS borrows from Apple. And it's not as if he's a Microsoft worshipper. He's been writing some pretty damning articles about Vista. I would in fact say he is one of the best informed level-headed industry pundits out there.

  15. Re:what i have heard on Inside View on Apple WWDC Rumors · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Awesome! I'm all greased up and ready to go.

  16. Re:Another Math-Impaired Reporter on SCO Stock Continues Downward Spiral · · Score: 1

    Ninefold, definitely ninefold. Wopner's at six. I'm an excellent driver.

  17. SCO could have done well. on SCO Stock Continues Downward Spiral · · Score: 2, Insightful

    SCO was a strong company back when they had the only commercial UNIX on Intel. They had a big presence in small companies, support from hardware vendors, and good customer service. If they would have just embraced Linux instead of seeing it as a threat, they could have been the major player in Linux for business. They just had really bad, shortsighted leadership.

    You mean, spelled properly.

  19. GHz war on Intel Stepping Up to Combat AMD's 4x4 · · Score: 1

    I love this. It reminds me of the race to 1 Ghz back in 2000. When AMD and Intel are neck and neck the inovation speeds way up.

  20. Re:Dang! on Indian Satellite Lost in Launch Explosion · · Score: 1

    Think of Cleavis the slack-jawed yokel from the Simpsons standing over his failed attempt to put a satellite into orbit, then read the post again.

  25. US Embassy - Moscow on US Government Fears China Bugs Lenovo PCs · · Score: 2, Informative

    It reminds me of when the US let the Soviets build their embassy in Moscow. Bugs in the bricks. They couldn't use it.
