  1. Re:Does anyone really think on Getting Gouged by Geeks · · Score: 1

    Except that's CBC Marketplace. They don't sell airtime.

  2. Re:Focus on the function, not the format. on Walt Mossberg Reviews Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    But that's where the problem is. Who cares if something can deal with ogg files when they're pretty much never needed? I've owned my powerbook for three years and haven't had the need to install that codec. Let me clarify: 3 years. No ogg. Anywhere. If I had to dig for a codec for mp3 files, however, I'd be (rightly) pissed off!

  3. Re:To be fair ... on Walt Mossberg Reviews Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Agreed. It's not their fault, but it's still not a benefit by any means. I'm in no way defending the licensing of the codecs, but as unfair as it is, it's a problem that ultimately exists on their OS.

  4. Re:Then Windows is not "working". on Walt Mossberg Reviews Ubuntu · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's a difference between "You need to install software" and "Legally, you can't do this", you fucktard.

  5. Re:To be fair ... on Walt Mossberg Reviews Ubuntu · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Anything not working is a legitimate complaint. Period.

    It doesn't matter if the issues are legal or technological; if something doesn't work, it's an issue.

  6. Re:All the power of Greyskull on 8-Core Dual Xeon "V8" Test Rig Performance · · Score: 1

    No matter how hard you try, it's always going to be an RPG.

  7. BWAAA!!!!! on Giant Rabbits To Feed North Korea · · Score: 1

    Bunnies don't like North Koreans. Bunnies also don't like the lameness filter.

  8. Re:Wii Ads on Mysteries of the Next-Gen Consoles Solved · · Score: 1

    It's annoying seeing an ad for something cool then realizing that it isn't even going to be on sale for weeks. They're trying to get people to think 'Cool!' when they can actually buy the thing rather than have it be old news by the time it comes out.

  9. Re:Apple doesn't need software sales on Apple Should Get Out of Hardware? · · Score: 1

    First you get the software, then you get the hardware, then you get the women...

  10. Re:Who paid for it? on Apple Should Get Out of Hardware? · · Score: 1

    "Although kitten meat is tender already, Gartner analysts believe that it would be better off if the kittens were blinded immediately after birth."

  11. Re:mmmm on Apple Should Get Out of Hardware? · · Score: 1

    It should, but would you want to try it? The point of the toughbook is that it is hard to break. Wouldn't the magnetic connector be a positive addition?

  12. Re:Upgrading boxes on Can Linux Pick Up Users Abandoning Win98? · · Score: 1

    -1 impractical.

  13. Re:Bogus on Will the Wii Work? · · Score: 1

    Well, this is going to be modded 'Flamebait', but I'll say it anyway. It's exactly the opposite in my experience. I have seen numerous DSes out and about, but the only PSP I've seen was being played by a retarded guy at a laundromat.

  14. Re:Spamhaus does alot of ignoring on Spamhaus to Ignore $11.7M Judgement · · Score: 1

    He would, but his e-mail won't go through.

  15. Re:Helpful image to pass along on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    It's most likely because it's an old DOS program and keypresses without caps lock on are used for commands of some sort. I agree it's silly, but I've run into a few programs that do that.

  16. Re:If.... on Rockstar Finally Wins a Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Funny

    It seems that step 3 is "Sell Porn".

  17. Re:Unconstitutionality approaching. on WA Law Means Linking to Gambling Websites Illegal · · Score: 1

    The problem isn't conservatives, it's idiots. The law in Washington was passed by Democrats.

  18. Re:OMFG on Finding Programming Work on the Side? · · Score: 1

    It's a very useful skill.

  19. Re:Even worse... on Apple Unveils New Macbook · · Score: 1

    The 12" powerbook had a mini-DVI connector and came with adapters for both DVI and VGA. The only difference is that the new ones (annoyingly) cost extra.

  20. Re:Online not comfirmed... and the controller on Super Smash Brothers Wii, Featuring Solid Snake · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that'd leave all the people without an internet connection unable to play online. Waitaminute......

  22. Re:Buzz Beer on Nestle Patents Coffee Beer · · Score: 1

    You're thinking Molson Kick. The cold shots are just in a smaller can and with a higher alcohol content (6? 6.5?).

  23. Re:it's all just rumor... on Video iPod Oct 12? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just like it was 'too early' last year?

  24. Re:Moving from Perl (slightly OT) on Perl 6 Now by Scott Walters · · Score: 1

    Using Postgresql and talking about switching from perl to Python or Ruby?

    My thought is that we need a +1 flamebait mod. ;)

  25. Re:Used to be.. on Return of the Mac · · Score: 1

    I remember "that feeling"... The warm dripping down my fingertips and palm, the cool splash patterns the blood made as it hit the bottom of the case or one of the random cards, the solid clunk of the first aid kit opening...

    Building computers was never my strong point. *hugs his Dell laptop*
