  1. Fight 'em on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: 1

    Companies really need to start fighting these cases. They should get together and have lawsuit insurance to cover legal costs and maybe then these lawsuits would stop happening. Or i'm gonna play gta for a few hours and then kill all these fucking lawyers and parents.

  2. Re:innovation on New PowerBooks, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 1

    The mouse *still* has only one button

    When i go mac, i'm damn sure i'm gonna keep my existing ligitech mice. No problem really. And on the touchpad the apple and ctrl keys are close enough that it doesn't matter that you dont' have a specific rt click.

  3. Re:Blatant bias.. on StarOffice 7, GNOME-Office 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    and is properly integrated into the rest of KDE.

    This can be good or bad. I won't use koffice because it's integrated into kde. It takes too long to load the forst k app and i can't find a decent OSX kde skin that matches the rest of my desktop.

    Not that kopffice is a bad project, in fact the fee times i have use it it was really slick considering it was at 1.0 at the time.

    Did anyone else see this story about 15 mins ago and get an error saying the page is in the future when you tried to open it. When i refreshed it was gone.

    An now to be OT:
    How big a problem will this be as most people/companies register common mispellings along with the right domain and make the mispellings point to the right site?

  8. G5 in laptops on MacWorld Magazine Benchmarks the G5s · · Score: 1

    I know it's a little off topic, but it is sorta related. Just croos your eyes.

    Does anyone have a decent estimate for when the G5 will make it to the powerbooks? I know they have to cool them off, but how long is that likely to take?

  9. The real reason. on Electronics & Planes Don't Mix? · · Score: 1

    Cell phones are annoying. I don't want to be stuffed in the back of a plane with 100 assholes yelling over each other into their cell phones. So this way the airlines can scare the idiots into not yakking on the phone. The FAA will back them up if someone complains. It's a conspiracy, but a benificial one. They don't care if you use CD player, laptop, dildo, etc. as those are quiet (or quiteish in the case of the dildo) activities.

    (As a gentoo user i'm gonna use gentoo terms, but this could be applicable to anything)

    Well, i'm gonna check the Budweiser install guides on how to use Coca-Cola Emerge to install a Sprint binary package for UPS Bash. If i can't find an answer, i'm gonn fire up Marlboro man and see what the man page for Nike Portage says on the topic.

  15. Note enough pivkup on Hybrid/Electric Vehicles: Should I Buy? · · Score: 1

    If you need to floor it in a hybrid to get out of trouble* you're fucked. Otherwise they are a small, generic, expencive car with good gas milage. If you're buying one to be a tree hugger, you're an idiot because modern cars hardly polute either.

    *For those who don't live in a major city, this happens more often than you'd think.

  16. Re:Software makers should be liable on RIAA PR Efforts Examined · · Score: 1

    Windows is Stable. If you consider a week of uptime stable.
    You can get free, legal music on Kazaa along with illegal stuff.
    Said car is safe as long as you're on the satl flats with nobody else around.

    So all of those are legitimate advertisements.

  18. Donating is better on Wind River To Stop Selling BSD/OS · · Score: 1

    Most projects only see a small fraction of the purchase cost of items, but see all of a donation. So a $10 donation does $PROJECT more good than an $18 tshirt.

    shouldn't the casing act as a farady cage?

  24. Re:Yay! on The Return of Apollo? · · Score: 1

    The shuttle isn't that maneuverable either. With a few landing rockets, you could dodge the big stuff, and use a carefully planned deorbit to get somewhere safe(big and flat) to land (like kanses).

    Also, i don't see what's wrong with landing in the water. Capsules float. In fact, they recovered most, if not all, capsules form the old-skool space program. The damn things are waterproof after all.

  25. Re:'windows' mentioned in article. on MRAM in 2004? · · Score: 1

    It's like instant hibernation. You turn it off and it comes right back to where you were when you turn it back on. And yes, you will still have to reboot windoews to colear out the crap, but only then.
