  1. Re:WHY DO YOU NEED A SHUFFLE? on Mac mini All About Movies? · · Score: 0

    Why?! This is nothing like the shuffle.

  2. Why heat the whole house? on Keeping Computers (And People) Warm In Winter? · · Score: 0

    Why not just buy.... 1) Cheap indoor-safe propane heater. Fuel is sort of cheap and easy to store. You can just heat the rooms you need. I don't know were you live but I doubt in 8 hours your house would loose that much temperature that it would be dangerous maybe just chilly. 2) A small gas generator for other electrical items. You don't need to store as much fuel as you would only run a fridge, etc. Done for $200-500

  3. Re:Now all we need is a ... on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 0

    True.. But jamming cellular phones is illegal in North America at least.

  4. Hmm... on Mystery Tiles From Around the World · · Score: 0

    I work in baltimore, and have stepped over these tiles. I always took note of them because they made no sense, and didn't look like ordinary "road repair" graffiti. Strange...

  5. Console wars... on GameCube Production to Halt · · Score: 0

    Despite what you read on discussion threads, the PS2 and GameCube can coexist harmoniously. As a matter of fact, I have domesticated both my PS2 and GameCube so well they sit right next to each other even sharing the same TV!

  6. Adobe and Dell in Bed? on Adobe Says PCs Are Preferred · · Score: 0

    Looks to me more like Adobe is pushing Dell hardware. At the end of there "in-depth comparison" they have a Buy Gear link which *gasp* links to an order form for a Dell PC. The MHz stuff aside, Adobe's snub of Apple and pushing Dell hardware is not good...

  7. Wow, he can use Final Cut Pro... on Al Gore Joins Apple's Board Of Directors · · Score: 0

    Jeez, using Steve Job's logic... Since I can drive a car, I'm perfect for the board of directors at Ford. So what he can use FCP!? What is he going to do for Apple? Gore is seen as a dope in most circles.. I got tired of him between the hanging chad fiasco and the internet comment fiasco... Only seems like more fodder for people to knock on Apple...

  8. Re:First hand experience on NASA Considers Abandoning ISS · · Score: 0

    I agree... What a waste of money and time. The strange thing is I thought it would fail from the start. You can't get more then 2 people to agree on a pizza, how are you going to get a huge international effort to manage a space station. I think it was a idea best left on paper.

    It is a shame, I really find space exploration amazing. But the ISS has been a joke and a financial disaster. I'm still amazed by the Pathfinder robot mission, the science value per dollar was incredible. (And we left earth orbit!)

  9. Re:It's too slow on Floor Vacuum Robot for $200 · · Score: 0

    But with a tiny lint trap, it sounds like you have to be around to baby sit the damn thing.

  10. My theory... on Apple Won't Be At Macworld Boston · · Score: 0

    Maybe money on Expo's are better spent on commercials? I mean people going to the expo are already into Mac's anyway, and it's more of a pep-rally. But a commercial hits people from a large cross-section... I can also see why Apple wants to get away from the expo sales slump. I'm looking at maybe buying a Mac but wouldn't do it until after an Expo. If I after do get one... Dunno..

  11. Re:will they finally switch to Qt/X11? on New Zaurus Prototype, Sony Palm OS 5 Devices, Yopy 3500 · · Score: 0

    No! I don't care about people hacking X11 to work on the Z, but I don't want it standard! They are better off without it... X11 is a dinosaur.

  12. Open source... on Houston, We Have a Software Problem · · Score: 0

    Jeez, they should just release the code as open source. It would probably be done in a month, and run KDE too.
