  1. Re:Not everyone's favorite! on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 1
    No, bring back Mr. Lizard.

    "We're going to need another Timmy!"

  2. Re: Who's next? on Joss Whedon to Write/Direct Wonder Woman · · Score: 1

    Wonder Woman 46DD?

  3. Re:More Information on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 0

    I always wondered what that Panda had to do with wrestling.

  4. Re:kinda like the metaverse in snow crash? on Second Life Recognizes IP Of User-Created Objects · · Score: 1

    So are you saying Second Life is reality? or Snow Crash?

  5. Re:It's there so on The Guy Responsible For Ctrl-Alt-Del · · Score: 1

    That doesn't make it any more intuitive.

  6. Re:Opera Rant!! on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    So? Use the opera browser and a different mail client. What's the problem? Opera and Thunderbird work great together.

  7. Re:Choices People, Choices! on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 Released · · Score: 1
    What are the advantages of a monolithic Browser/Mail app?

    It seems they're two separate functions that should be handled by two different programs.

    Communication between apps works fine (clicking on links in mail, or mailto: links in the browser. What other cooperation do you need between them?)

  8. Re:And in other news... on BSA Creates Piracy Statistics · · Score: 1

    The original post said "2-eyed." I'm not familiar with that term, but I'd assume it means 2 (and only two) spots. You don't call a man one-legged when he has two legs.

  9. Re:riiiiight... on More on Futuremark and nVidia · · Score: 3, Insightful
    But that means your card will be good current games, and maybe games that are currently in production, but you have no way of knowing how well it will perform on the next generation of games. If you had real benchmarks that couldn't be optimized for then you could see which cards are better general purpose cards and which are just better optimized for the current crop of game.

    I guess you just need to buy another card at that point.

  10. Re:woot! on Return Of Bloom County. Sorta · · Score: 1

    What about Outland?
    I don't remember its fate. I vaguely remember
    seeing it in the comics, and had one of the books
    which was great. But did that get canceled, or
    did he just stop writing that too?

  11. Charities, phone companies, banks... who's left? on U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry is Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This law exempts charities, and will only apply to phone companies and banks if the FTC want it to... That means 90% of the telemarketers who call me are exempt. What's the use of that?

  12. Re:Privacy or Security - pick one on Iris Scanners in Canadian Airports · · Score: 1

    Who says they have to blow up buildings or crash planes in order to win?

  13. Re:Whatever... on Calculators vs. PDAs in the Classroom · · Score: 1

    Who says the students don't have to prove how they arrived at an answer? From mid high-school on we were allowed to use graphing calculators in all classes where they might prove usefull, but that never changed the fact that we had to show our work and demonstrate our knowledge of the subject. In college, we took math tests open-book sitting in front of a computer loaded with Mathematica. Again, the computer could do alot of the grunt-work for us, but we still had to show the steps we went through to arrive at an answer.
