    Thanks, Yoda.

  3. Soon? on Apple's Missed Opportunity With Leopard Delay · · Score: 5, Insightful

    According to an article on OSWeekly.com, Apple missed a big opportunity by not releasing Leopard soon.

    Apple is releasing Leopard soon, unless six days now qualifies as a long wait. Perhaps the author of the summary meant "earlier."

    . . .its lice to have it legally.

    Yeah, I agree (it is lice--annoying, blood-sucking lice), but I would have used the contraction of "it is" correctly to express the idea.

  7. Re:Inspirons on Dell Ships Ubuntu 7.04 PCs Today · · Score: 2, Informative

    They are basically the lost leader prices they use to "get you in the door".

    George W. Bush is a lost leader. Something sold below cost in the hope of selling other things for a profit is a loss leader.

  8. Re:Use a press pot on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I know. The joke was pretty lame, but I made it to point out that the link between that particular alcohol and a significant change in serum chemistry is tenuous and that cafestol's chemoprotective properties may well offset (in total health kind of way) any change that does occur. Perhaps I should have just written it this way to begin with.

  9. Re:Use a press pot on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 1

    You will have higher cholesterol drinking like this though; the oils are not filtered through paper.

    If you are making your coffee from pig fat, then you have larger issues than what sort of vessel you brew it in.

  10. Vietnamese Style on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 1

    I lately have mostly been making Vietnamese style coffee (hot or iced, with or without sweetened condensed milk).

    1. You swapped your links.
    2. Those are some bloody awful songs.
  12. That's the Mode on the Right on Could Global Warming Make Life on Earth Better? · · Score: 1

    They cite figures for places about which Western media care while ignoring the corollary--increased incidence of tropical and sub-tropical disease.

    Has the corporation had three Cosmopolitans?

  17. Re:Spelling.... on BBC and YouTube Deal in the Works? · · Score: 1

    What's journalism coming to? It has devolved to the level of a Slashdot post, I fear.

  19. Correction on US Population to Top 300 Million · · Score: 1

    The number of Americans will surpass 300 million this month. . .

    The article does not state that at all. It states that the U. S. population will likely surpass 300 million soon.

    When did Bush become president of Sony?

  22. Re:Media companies are ruining innovation on No Full HD Playback for 32-bit Vista · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is another example of the media companies dictating what the consumer can purchase in the marketplace. They have been hampering innovation since the beginning of time.

    I know--it's what killed the dinosaurs.

  23. Liability? on Microsoft Stops Supporting Win98 Early · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How are Microsoft's commitments to its operating systems structured? Are they a vague "promise" or contractual? If they are the latter, then I sincerely hope that someone will make this a legal issue. After all, does Microsoft offer a laissez-faire response if the other party is the one breaking the terms of a contract?

  24. Re:Back in the day... on Both Sides of Wii · · Score: 1

    Yes, that was the point. I expect a Pippin-like flop rather than an iPod-like hit, but time will of course tell whether Nintendo is crazy like a fox or crazy like Fox News.

    I seem to remember another device that had a name which everyone chastised in the begnning. Give it time people.
