  1. Re:Piling on... on Congress May Overturn FCC's Media Consolidation Plan · · Score: 1

    He has no right to bitch? WTF? He has every right to bitch if he voted. No matter who he voted for. On a side, but related note, do you expect a person to agree with every single policy a president supports even after they helped vote him in office?? Quit being so struthious. Geez.

  2. Palm to iPaq (student view) on PocketPC 2003 Reviewed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm a CS major and recently switched from a Palm to an iPaq. Microsoft's PDA OS is so much better than Palm's, it's hard to imagine using anything else. At first I thought the $500 price tag was outrageous, but it has helped with my studies and organization tremendously. Bash MS all you want, but their PDA OS is by far the most versitile on the market today.

  4. Personal experience on Computers and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Studied · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just like most of you, I've been typing on computers for years. I've never experienced any sort of Carpal Tunnel due to typing. This doesn't mean I'm immune however. Last year I painted the interior of my entire house and suffered severe wrist pain and numbness. My wife is a Physical Therapist and diagnosed me with Carpal Tunnel. For me anyway, computer keyboards are harmless.

  5. Thanks but no thanks on Apple to Announce the Power Mac G5 at WWDC? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I bought an 800 Mhz G3 iBook w/ 512 MB RAM OS X.2. The clip that holds it shut broke within the first two weeks. iTunes locks up half the time and is seriously lacking in the features department. The thing is so slow that it's almost painful to use. I have to go do something else while the damn thing boots up. Until I see significant speed improvements over my Wintel box, I'm not going to shell out the extra cash for another Mac.

  6. privacy? on Walmart to Push RFID · · Score: 1

    i'm no expert, but aren't rfid tags useless once you leave the store? i mean, they can't track you down the street when you go into the strip club can they? also, if you walk into a store, pick up a box, and walk around to shop some more, how does the store know who you are? i guess i'm a little confused... if rfid tags are a privacy concern, how do they track the individual anymore than a credit/debit card transaction? seems to me that this could be used as a method to reduce costs for businesses.

    "PS - I hate rich people"

    If it weren't for rich people, half the charities in this country wouldn't exist and half the funds for University research would vanish. Anyway, that house is worth well over $20 million. The property alone is probably close to that amount.

  8. Re:The Internet works just great on Death of Internet Predicted: Film at 11 · · Score: 1

    i agree with you. the internet works great. for instance, i just downloaded a sweet pr0n vid with jenna jameson and taylor rain. normally i would have to get in my car, drive to the store and buy it. i luv this internet!

  10. OS X not "more productive" for me on More on the PowerPC 970 · · Score: -1, Troll

    I use RedHat 9, XP Pro, and OS X.2. I can't figure out how so many people say they are "more productive" on their Macs than on their PC's. It seems like everyday I find something new on the Mac that takes me two or three more steps to do the same thing than on my PC. I also feel the OS has been so dumbed down that many of the apps don't have nearly as many options as an equivalent PC app. The Mac is also the slowest box out of the three. Hopefully the new 970 will boost performance considerably. I'll buy another Mac just to have one and mess around with, but definitely not for speed or productivity.

  11. Oh no!! on Install An Xbox/Linux Media System In Your Car · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Everything looked great until the Avril Lavigne showed up. Avril? No thanks.

    binaural huh? well then i strongly recommend the album "Binaural" by Pearl Jam. it's a great cd recorded using binaural technology (most of the songs anyway).

  13. time warp on Who Needs XFree86? · · Score: 1

    not trying to bash here, but this kind of seems like a waste. this guy obviously has some good coding skills so there has to be something more useful he could create other than an app that looks like DOS. maybe i'm a jerk, but this doesn't look like it is advancing linux very much.

  19. Re:Am I the only one... on The Googlewashing Of Our Language · · Score: 1

    the GOP will probably gain more seats in the next election just like they did the last one. especially if this war ends soon and things turn out for the better in iraq. it also doesn't help that the democratic party's leadership is in disarray.

  20. college career on Deathmatch for Dollars? · · Score: 1

    this sounds great! i'm going to frag like hell to pay for my college tuition. of course, i'll only take one class per semester while i kill so much, so it will take me a while to graduate. but hey, that's more time for fragging!

    "Yes, but US opinion is largely in favour of attacking Iraq since some americans have the unfounded belief that every muslim is a terrorist. Not very tollerant is it?"


    I think you have it all wrong. It's not that Americans believe every muslim is a terroist, rather it's Americans believe that every terrorist is a muslim. HUGE difference there and I still can't figure out why I don't see muslim leaders around the world standing up against terrorism.

  25. Lifespan? on NASA Gives Up On Pioneer 10 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What is the approximate lifespan of the craft? Will the harsh environment of space eventually destroy it, or will it simply drift along forever? Unless of course it collides with something which I would think would be highly unlikely.
