  1. Re:right mouse button does nothing! on Safari for Windows Downloaded Over 1 Million Times · · Score: 1

    Replace your mouse. Right-click works fine (at least in the Mac version).

  2. Re:Downloaded and Uninstalled in 5 mins on Safari for Windows Downloaded Over 1 Million Times · · Score: 1

    Your S key seems to be broken at the end of words?

    Slow, ugly, and the most important thing for a browser, page rendering.

    Did you want to say something about the page rendering or just felt like typing those letters?

  3. Re:Tried it, didn't like it. on Safari for Windows Downloaded Over 1 Million Times · · Score: 1

    Even little things like... all the text in the address bar highlighting on the first click are missing.

    It always pisses me off when fields do that. If I want to select everything, I'll select it. Just put the cursor where I clicked, dammit.

  4. Re:Greeat on Blizard Sues Virtual Gold Seller · · Score: 1

    So you're saying you're a gold seller?

    Actually, i think they already have a limit, at least on trial accounts. The trouble is the trial accounts don't actually deliver any money; they just spam.

  6. Re:Send your claim in now on Unicode Encoding Flaw Widespread · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was thinking.

    Such as?

  8. Re:Just Graphics on Blizzard Announces StarCraft 2 · · Score: 1

    Uh, good?

      I can't really imagine having to manipulate 100+ units in 3D space where the only interface is a 2D screen.

  9. Re:Doesn't hold much water on Are Mobile Phones Wiping Out Bees? · · Score: 1

    So you're saying it's the genetically altered plants that are doing it and also bashing people who say it's genetically altered plants?

  10. Re:Reasons to believe this is bogus on Are Mobile Phones Wiping Out Bees? · · Score: 1

    I remember the channel dial going up to 84 or so, but I don't ever remember any actual channels above 66.

  11. Re:I don't understand the summary on Windows Vista, More Than Just a Pretty Face · · Score: 1

    I didn't understand it either, since it seemed to imply that Exposé didn't do live updates, but it's only talking about in Windows. Watching movies play in Exposé (or in the Dock) is funny, if not entirely useful.

  12. Re:Aero isn't used to its potential on Windows Vista, More Than Just a Pretty Face · · Score: 1

    Cmd-Tab and Cmd-Tilde are also available on the Mac if your "fiance" prefers the flip.

  13. Re:What about a Care Bear Guild? on World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade Review · · Score: 1

    To encourage interaction, maybe? What's the point of professions if everyone has all of them?

  14. Re:Embarrassing... on World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade Review · · Score: 1

    Umm... I think the EXPANSION was created to EXPAND the existing content, not replace it. If you didn't "finish" the game, why are you adding more to it?

    Nevertheless, there are Draenei NPCs for alliance (and I would assume BE NPCs for horde) in existing zones that have new quests for you.

  15. Re:Define casual on World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade Review · · Score: 1

    So you're complaining that WoW classic took too long for you to complete? Unlike WC3 or D2, you're not the only one playing it. (You know what I mean.)

  16. Re:Define casual on World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade Review · · Score: 1

    D2:LOD was the same thing BC is. New classes at the beginning doing the same stuff, and a new place to go to after you completed everything else.

    Assuming you didn't play on a PVE server and already had one of each class, that's pretty much what you got in BC, except you also got new starting areas.

  17. Re: Improve PvP on World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade Review · · Score: 1

    I think there's a difference between a bot being able to kill mobs in a specified area and actually "playing" the game? Maybe? Nah....

  18. Re:Or.... on To Media Companies, BitTorrent Implies Guilt · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that prostitutes, even those out on the street, generally take their clients somewhere that isn't a public place to conduct business. Presumably that's where payment is received too, so buying and selling sex isn't taking place in public; just the advertising is.

  19. Or.... on To Media Companies, BitTorrent Implies Guilt · · Score: 1

    To put this in to perspective, if BayTSP were trying to bust me for doing drugs, it'd be like getting arrested because I was hanging out with some dealers, but they never saw me using, buying, or selling any drugs.

    Or it'd be like getting arrested for engaging in prostitution (or whatever the actual offense is) if you're seen with a prostitute, even if you haven't actually had sex. I've always been amused by that one, too.

  20. What about now? on Microsoft drops VBA in Mac Office 2007 · · Score: 1

    Is this something that Office for the Mac has now or was it just a new planned feature that isn't going to happen after all?

    If the latter.... so what?

    If the former, how many people actually know and use it?

    According to the article, it does run Linux.

    I'm glad Blizzard killed bnetd. QQ more.

    And what would you suggest, free WoW for life? A $1000 check?

  24. Re:Get a Mac on A Security Guide For Non-Technical Users? · · Score: 1

    I get the reference, but still. I remember seeing a /. article saying the whole of the games industry was in a slump because people were too busy playing WoW to bother buying any new games.

    WoW is the game to play --still.

    WoW runs on Macs.
