  4. Re:He's sorta right, but mostly off target on Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? · · Score: 1

    1) Most of the average users I know do everything full screen because they're too cheap to buy anything bigger than 15-17 inches. 2) Sense when is F11 is more "logical" than right clicking? 3) So how do you copy link to the desktop if it's an image? The point being, on windows I can right click an image/link for a menu of anything I'd like as well as being able to drag the image/link to my desktop.

    "My 15-year-old daughter has been running Mandrake since she was ten. How hard can it be? ;-)" And there you have it folks, the real reason 99% of the people on the planet will NEVER use linux.

    so if she's browsing the web full screen she has to resize the browser so that there is some desktop showing in order to save an image? that's "logical"...

  8. Re:Obligatory Ben Franklin Quote on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 1

    can you please quote me the definition of "unreasonable"? if well over half of the population believes something to be "reasonable" doesn't it by definition become so?

    It was a random phone poll. The subscriber base is irrelevent.

  12. Re:Dumbest thing I've ever read on Identity Theft From Tossed Airline Boarding Pass? · · Score: 1

    "No, the reason it has them is the new US law that requires them to have them."

    could you please cite where US law states that 1) it has to be on the boarding pass and 2) it has to be on an unsecure system.

  15. Re:VGA only. Obsolete. on Matrox TripleHead Triples Your Viewing Pleasure · · Score: 1

    my current quadro card has a single output that you use a dongle with 2 adapters on the end for duel display. there's plenty of room for 2 of those on the card so i see no reason why a single card couldn't hookup to 4 monitors.

  16. Re:In all seriousness though on Missing Link Found Between Human Ancestors · · Score: 1

    I'll bite. Perhaps he's fellowshipped with his God and felt his/her/its presence? Perhaps he has seen his God. For me at least my faith is based on my personal experiences. My prayer. My God's direction. Now to the real question: Why does this matter to you? Athiests spend much more time than believers trying to convince the world that they are right.

  19. Re:Why would you want to telecommute? on Software Engineers Ranked Best Job in America · · Score: 1

    "Telecommuting is overrated in a number of cases. I enjoy the ease of contact with my coworkers. Part of the draw of my current profession is that I work with funny, intelligent people. Working at home would likely be filled with endless distractions, mostly in the form of a two and seven-year-old who want to play Princess or Legos, respectively. Rarely does my coworker dress up in pink and demand they be called Princess Dave." please stay on topic, we're talking about Software Engineers here...

  20. Re:Too much buying power... on Wal-Mart Controls Modern Game Design? · · Score: 1

    so what you're saying is if you don't like the control wal-mart has on specific market you should control the people who shop there? how enlightened of you.

  23. Re:Unlawful Search & Seizure on U.S. Gov To Spider Internet · · Score: 1

    let me get this straight. pirating music/movies isn't stealing because nothing is taken, but archiving publicly accessible webpages and archiving them is now considered "seizure"?

    so you're saying the intel mac isn't a sequel product to every other mac? to the average person there are MANY more differences in an xbox 360 and xbox than the old mac and the new.
