  1. Oh yeah? Back when I was in the Marine Corps on Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte · · Score: 1

    we didn't have none of those fancy shmancy disk drives, we were issued a slab of granite and a chisel each day and we damn well liked it!

    If we made a mistake, we had our trusty all-weather c-ment and a Mark14-Delta GI Putty Knife to cover it up before the beatings and lashing and tears and the screaming!

  2. Re:Don't get the wrong idea on Ellen Feiss Interview · · Score: 1

    Who's really on drugs here? People like me who have both tried drugs and recognized their benefits, or.. People like you that a missile defense system will actually work. Thanks for pissing away our tax dollars. -Semper Fi

  3. For what it's worth, they read fat32 drives fine on Apple Gives Laptops Speed Bumps · · Score: 1

    My dad just picked up a new dual Ghz Powermac G4. He wanted to put a Fat32 partitioned hard drive in it that had 60 or so Gigs of mp3s on it. We snapped open the case (no screws) slid the drive into place (extra screws were waiting), connected the cable (also provided and waiting to be used inside), closed the case and turned it back on. The Mac not only recognized it the first time around but it was reading the mp3s just like it was a native format. I was expecting to have to format and network all the files from a backup file server he has running (he digs his music), but nope. Most importantly to me however, was that everything I needed was already in place and waiting. No looking around for cables, it was great! Anyway, that's my switch story I suppose, heh. Btw, my XP machine looks like ass now. Thanks, Dad.

  4. CIA on Doom 3 Alpha Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny

    If the CIA were in charge of this the source code would be posted on telephone poles by now, with a "Have you seen me?" headline.

  5. Re:Some things are misleading on Apple Explains Interface Differences · · Score: 2, Interesting

    To defend Microsoft, which is a rare event for me... The window is the proportion the Golden Rectangle, as is most of Microsoft's objects and pattern. The standard Push button falls into this category.
