  1. Re:I think its a major achievement on Mac OS X Leopard is Now Officially Unix · · Score: 1

    My guess is that since Apple doesn't sell PowerPC-based computers anymore, the certification doesn't apply to discontinued hardware.

  2. Re:Well known? on A CIO's View of Ubuntu · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Did you know who he was before you read the article or Googled him?

  3. Well known? on A CIO's View of Ubuntu · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've never heard of him.

  4. Re:Gross malfeasance on Multiple Sites Down In SF Power Outage · · Score: 1

    He's making fun of you. Your melodramatic whining is well-suited to the types of posts made on LiveJournal every day.

  5. Re:They waste money on editors on Blogs Are Eating Tech Media Alive · · Score: 1

    In Amerika, the commas and periods go inside the quotation marks, e.g., "your," "lose," and "its." What a country!

  6. Re:Hell, I paid $1000 for my DVD player!!! on Both Sides of the PS3 Price Cut Rumor · · Score: 1

    I paid $5000 for my DVD player.

  7. Re:Star Wars Cops on Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge 2007 · · Score: 1
    Have you been living under a rock? Troops started the modern fanfilm movement.

    It came out ten freaking years ago, and it already won in the FanFilms series (the first one, in 2002).

  8. Re:Simple on How Warcraft Doesn't Have To Wreck Lives · · Score: 1

    My guild starts invites at 6:00. Raid starts promptly at 6:30 (meaning at the instance door). Stragglers make their way in after 6:30. We clear MC in under three hours and BWL in about 3:15. There's no discussion of class roles or whatever, as everyone knows what they're supposed to do. That's how raid guilds work. You can't do BWL in a pick up group and expect any level of success on even the first boss.

    Just another PoV.

  9. Re:Oy vey. on CmdrTaco becomes An Old(er) Man · · Score: 5, Funny

    The best part is that his post has a dupe in his post.

  10. Re:300 to 400 emails a day? on More Than 20 Years of the Web on the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    Harry easily spends 12 hours a day on the 'net, reading and responding to emails.

  11. TurboGrafx! on Zelda On The DS, Sega on the Revolution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm actually in the .1% of people who owned a TurboGrafx (and later a TurboDuo). These systems are emulated wonderfully in Magic Engine. I'm excited about the Revolution's support of Turbo games, but I hope they add in the Konami games from Japan, as most of the American games were just crappy (with some notable exceptions).

  12. Re:Five companies? on Garriotts See Shakeup To MMOG Industry Coming · · Score: 1
    There is also regarded as a immune system copy, which is very comfortable usable. It does take a couple of years from now.

    I've been trying to parse this and I just can't figure out what you're saying.

  13. Re:Link is NSFW on Domain Name Sold for Millions · · Score: 1

    Haven't learned how to read the submission yet, eh? The link is to XBiz, not sex.com, eagle eye.

  14. Link is NSFW on Domain Name Sold for Millions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Come on, even Fark lets you know when a link is NSFW. Please put some kind of indicator there. I didn't notice the naked pictures until I finished reading the article.

    Oh wait, there are two things wrong with that statement:

    1. I read the article.
    2. I read the article instead of looking at naked ladies.

  15. Re:First Anonymous Post on Crank Blogging, Like Phone Calling, Now Illegal · · Score: 1
    So no, we're not at war. We've invaded a country illegally to kill 100's of thousands of innocents. That sounds like terrorism to me.

    Being at war does not automatically designate one side being right and one being wrong.

  16. Re:A few points on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    That's your opinion, and I respect it, but in your case, it's just a matter of simple ignorance.

  17. Re:A few points on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    That is technically true. I didn't want to get into all that because I didn't think the grandparent poster would read it anyway. My understanding of the origination of ceremonial destruction of something with G-d's name on it is rooted in the mitzvah itself. A few years ago, I was reading about how the things we post on the internet can't really be destroyed, but the intent is the same. In other words, what one would write on paper for others to see, he likewise posts on the internet. So the usage of "G-d" is appropriate. It's definitely not required, and anyone who knows anything about Judaism will know that not every Jew will agree on this. Like the old saying goes, put two Jews in a room and you'll have three opinions.

  18. Re:A few points on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The "mark out" (i.e., G-d) is not a sign of respect so much as it is an observance of a mitzvah. Specifically, the mitzvah that tells us to not take G-d's name in vain.

  19. No man is just a number on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 5, Funny

    In the next patch, all WoW character models will be updated with black suits bearing an individual number.

  20. The read/write web on What Tools Exist for User Published Content? · · Score: 1
    I jumped on the read/write web "phenonemon" with my site, Now Spinning. I think that user-published content is great, but as in the case of my own site, I prefer situations where content is being submitted by users *and* the "editors." Kind of like a newspaper made almost entirely of the editorial page.

    To answer the poster's question, I have no idea. I use GeekLog, and I like it.

  21. Meh on Intelligence in the Internet Age · · Score: 1

    I don't like to read on the computer, so I was going to print out the article, but I'm too lazy to click the link.

  22. Re:Sun Ultra 20 workstation on Ultimate Software Developer Setup? · · Score: 1

    I wish I could figure out how to dual-boot Solaris and Windows. Any advice or links?

  23. Sun Ultra 20 workstation on Ultimate Software Developer Setup? · · Score: 1

    Get the new Sun Ultra 20 workstation. AMD Opteron, Solaris/Linux/Windows support, 3 year warranty, cheap, and fast. I love mine.

    As a Not-Easily-Offended American, I take offense at your excluding us from your comment.

    That is singlehandedly the most well-thought-out troll post ever. My hat is off to you, Mr. AC.
