  1. Re:Dvorak is better, but how much better? on Dvorak Layout Claimed Not Superior To QWERTY · · Score: 1

    i don't think they made it deliberately worse so people slowed down typing, rather, it would seem it was setup (as everyone points out) to keep binding up of the strokes, no not perfect. but can't people have their own opinions.

  2. Re:Internet Channel isn't free? on YouTube Coming To the PS3 and Wii · · Score: 2, Informative

    its 500 points now, i would have had free one, but my wii was stolen

  3. Re:Errmmm... on Image of Popeye Enters Public Domain In the EU · · Score: 1

    look at the current stock fun! people have been working on figuring out a lot of new math that isn't positive!

  4. Re:Maybe on Blizzard Sues Creator of WoW Bot · · Score: 1

    then the problem is your playing the game with people who dont know how to play there character fully. maybe if its something unlock able once you get a 70 character. that you can make one at 60 and level from there

  5. Re:Star Trek comm badge logic on Computer Interaction in Science Fiction Movies · · Score: 1

    I always figured that since they always started the conversation the same style. the computer parsed there words through a database to connect and transmit, and just relayed it so they knew who was addressing them

    but that is my silly simple idea of why..... and it was a tv show

  6. Re:Why reputation-based approaches suck big time on AV Software Isn't Dead, But It's Not Healthy · · Score: 1

    I would say if people signed up for spam its ok. but how do you tell for sure? some places all but hide the fact that you really are, or use criptic wording to make you get it unless you really read it all.

    And i know half the unsubscribe links i ever got seemed to be more of links to say "hey, this is a valid email!" than ever stopping the spam. i now just block anything with it in the body

  7. Re:It's an ineffective, stupid move. on Is Daylight Saving Shift Really Worth It? · · Score: 1

    Well as much as i like the new bulbs, you cant ban the old ones, mainly for me, the new ones tend to give me headaches just like the light we have at work. somethign about there flicker speed i guess.

    would just get horrible if i had to have them here and at home.

    BUT i do think some more things should be done to get people to use them. Even if they bug me, if they dont bug other people, might as well have the savings.

  8. Re:Difficult to get really rich off ATMs on Possible Serious Security Flaw In ATMs · · Score: 1

    this is also doing it in one year. gonna be allot of work for anyone. but spread it out over a few and your good

  9. Re:Wiimote + Dancemat? on Wii Aches - Couch Potatoes Working it Up · · Score: 1

    So alter the laser light keyboard thing to work for a dance pad... easy fix i think. even with the controllers around your ankle. i do think it would cause some damage to the gyro's so it wouldn't be an unbreakable version, the controllers last so well in hands because they don't get impact movement allot i would guess

  10. Re:OK, answer me this.. on Hitch-Hackers Guide To the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    i remember reading something else where when he travels back in time to make it so his name was never that, but only "ford" to save himself on an embarrasing childhood of not being bale to pronounce his name

  11. Re:Wii isn't underpowered except on The Wii's Brain Exposed · · Score: 1

    when i was tv shopping about a year ago, i wanted a hdtv. but the price gap from a nice tv (component video inputs) to a hdtv was still insane, 100$ for the 27inch normal tv, about 500$ for the hdtv of the same size. the tv i got was 500$ i saw the same tv with hdtv for about 900$, still a bit muhc, specially since no hdtv stuff is out there for me currently.

    Im looking forward to the wii as oipposed to the others. i might get a xbox sometime later. but the ps3 looks to be horrifically overpriced and just plain not worth it.

  12. Re:Right... on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1

    not nessisarily, if it bombs like win ME did... man that was short lived and craptastic. but it had enough problems that even microsoft gave everyone who bought it the shaft by not supporting it about a year after its release

  13. Re:How about this aspect? on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1

    we have 3 or 4 that are win95 still. though i will say that they are thankfully, nto hooked up to the network in any real way... but then again, im not in charge of that. so i bet there spammin emails for prostate exams!

  14. Re:Widely Credited? on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1

    i also have to say, that xp is better than older versions, no it isn't perfect. but it is better than 98, and very much better than 95/me it has some room, but they are doign better. i just dunno if the small increase in whatever will be worth the way to much they want to charge, i got my windows xp update for 50$ and it was well worth it

  15. Re:Thanks Steve on Steve Irwin Dead · · Score: 1

    He wasn't stupid though, he knew what he was doing. and he joked about it to help others be a bit more relaxed. If he didn't know, or was stupid, he would have died way before he got his own show.

    Its just what his life was, and more than likely some animal got his father too, i dont know for sure, but then who knows, his kids might get into the very same thing.

    or like a bad Captain planet episode, they will become the toxic bad guys... but i seriosly doubt that.

  16. Re:Geez, it's a $200 system! on No 3rd Party Online Support for Wii Until Next Year? · · Score: 1

    Im gonna get a Wii (or if they decide to change the name, whatever, i heard something about it before) because it looks to be fun, and also doesn't look to be the wallet buster that 360, or PS3 want to me

  17. Re:Yahoo and Microsoft say what? on Windows Defense on IE7 Search is No Defense · · Score: 1

    people are just a bit to paranoid. as long as its actually easy for "the user" to change the search engine, it is fine. would you want your company forced to default select a competitor for some function when you have one you believe works just as well. i know there a monopoly. but this shouldn't be an issue.
     
    it would be different if they made it almost impossible for people to change/add new search engines. but it doesn't seem to be this way. yes some old grannies will use it (if they figure out the search box, sadly, i know mine wont)

  18. Re:Gamecube? on Top 10 Worst Game Controllers · · Score: 1

    i think its to high up. like the top PS2/Ps1 R/L buttons, i want them to be more below the controller so my hand is comfortly able to reach them

    i know i am not the only hand type. so maybe make a controller with it moveable. or something. programable.. and have the f&cker covered with buttons... that would be funny

  19. Re:Props. They haven't lost it, either. on Legend of Zelda Celebrates 20 Years · · Score: 1

    i liked windwaker.... except things like. the grapple animation, wich had to be played fully, every time. that got on my nerves allot.

  20. Re:Sure, I'll feed the trolls.. on Prostitutes Call for a Ban on GTA · · Score: 1

    you are bringing some form of logic to this... that is your downfall. Extreemests in any direction tend to miss (or ignore) actual facts for what they want.

    Though, i would like to know if the mental hamster wheel could be harnessed in his mind for renewable energy.

  21. Re:I'll tell you how to stop gilfarmers... on Hunting Down Gilfarmers · · Score: 1

    the economy dies because there arn't enough sink holes. the gold just rising up in total amount, and only gets traded between characters.

    they need a way to limit the gold "found" from no-where. or make useful things to spend gil on. i know scrolls in ffxi were insane sometimes. some were 10x cheaper in the store than the AH (its how i made money) and other times, 10x more in store than the AH.

    They need mroe services like maybe more hero party things (npc's) you pay for there use. would help with the party problems at times.

    but the problem with that, is the whole idea of balance and going, "they need to prefer real people, but the npc's cant be so horridly lame there useless"

  22. Re:Sigh... on 20 Years of Computer Viruses · · Score: 1

    i like the sunday virus mainly for the name and what it was supposed to do.. still got a copy of it somewhere.. hee hee

  23. Re:better the robots than people on South Korea To Develop Army and Police Robots · · Score: 1

    but how many more wars would be fought? would they ever really stop. would be fun if they were all like.. lazer tag robots. would be spectator sports for wars

  24. Re:Torrent for dungeon siege? on Ultima V: Lazarus Released · · Score: 1

    i need to find my cd's for the original now. wow. i know there somewhere.....

  25. Re:Pfft on Are Americans Addicted to Technology? · · Score: 1

    Im addicted to food... the withdrawls of that are killer.... same with breathing..
     
      though actually. i do feel very off and wrong if i dont brish my teeth soon after waking or eating.. so i suppose in a way i am addicted.... but it isn't bad unless it becomes... scarry amounts of brushing....
