  1. Re:So, let me get this straight on Skydriving · · Score: 1

    yeah, much agreed, why can't they be happy with donations. nonetheless, major cool. beats bungie jumping bigtime. something awesome and appealing to this . . . mmm, cars. in the sky.

  2. Re:speed on Mozilla 1.2 Betas Start Flowing · · Score: 1

    much agreed. that is what turns me off from netscape when i have a choice. IE loads up like that even though i "strongly dislike" MS. moz got the speed pretty good with the quick launch though. but yeah, memory . . .

  3. Re:Type Ahead Find on Mozilla 1.2 Betas Start Flowing · · Score: 1

    what do you mean, get it up there first, then get features. to get it mainstream, its the features that are really going to count. i think its up there with IE featurewise anyway! what it needs now is a nice big user base. and a mainstream user base at that.

  4. coolio on Comedy Central Cancels BattleBots · · Score: 2, Informative

    wasn't it getting kind of old anyway? check out http://www.bestinc.org for some real robot stuff.

  5. Re:Why discovered by a amateur? on Is This Moon Three? · · Score: 1

    actually, astronomy is one of the few fields that amateurs play a big role in. experts often welcome astronomy amateur's discoveries or whatnot. i just took an astronomy class, which is how i know that. i'm no expert

  6. criteria on Is This Moon Three? · · Score: 1

    yes what is the criteria for a moon. and if its not a piece of alien stuff, maybe its that truck from star trek voyager. or, if you remember that bbspot article about the Fly Feature of win XP!

  7. Re:amazing on The Ideas Behind Longhorn · · Score: 1

    yeah, and just wait till you can't turn that feature off! or at least make it really hard. and then the one time your in a hurry to check something you have to wait for excel or something to load up . . . get your lazy hand off the desk and move the mouse . . .

  8. Re:Its a good thing Apple has MacOS X for Intel on The Ideas Behind Longhorn · · Score: 1

    nice post. keep the third party software, the packaged software with windows is usally not that hot. but i guess the average user sticks with what they have and doesn't bother looking around . . . ah well

  9. Re:Typing of the Dead on Video Games in Gym Class - DDR 101? · · Score: 1

    well, if we've got TotD for typing, DDR for gym, and carmen sandiego (ugh, early 90's, late 80's . . .) for geography . . . how about the sims for some home economics, or maybe even psychology . . .

  10. whose convenience? on Northwest Airlines Wants Eye-Scan Check-in · · Score: 1

    yeah, right, like how is this going to make check in faster?! ok, instead of flashing your drivers lisence to a person, look into at this laser, does your eye twitch? don't blink, i mean it! you want that head rest clean after that greasy hick? please. i'm not sure i get NW motive?

  11. Re:Don't let the man take your picture. on Biometrics, Ownership and Privacy? · · Score: 1

    really, the way the world is headed as far as future tech, i think were going to have to surrender are bio to a vast nation, maybe even worldwide database one day. don't get me wrong, i'm against a one world govt and all that, but in the distant future, who knows. true you can't rely on the govt to protect your info (or you), but who else is going to have the authority to handle such data?
