    My Windows boot-up is godawful slow (XP, fresh install, 8 months old)
    If i had mod points you would get +funny, 8 months isn't exactly a fresh install in the windows world of things
  2. Re:iTMS where are you? on Apple 100,000,000 iTMS celebration · · Score: 1

  3. Re:too bad it doesnt do MP3 on New Walkman-Branded Hard Disk Player · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course they do, they dont support MP3, hench you can get alot more ATRAC songs on it than MP3 songs...

  4. Re:Reminds me... on iTunes Disables MusicMatch · · Score: 1

    the whole point is that it was with the users consent,
    The installer informed that this would happen, and the user clicked OK to install, hench the user agreed to install with this setting of options...

  5. Re:where are the G5 Powerbooks? on New PowerBooks, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 0, Troll

    Guess you should stop reading the register and start reading something where the people writing the article doesnt pull the information out of their ass?

    Leave it up to Americans, to decide what is sick and what is art eh?....
    So who died and made you the top dog of Disney?

  8. Re:Disney Does Dali on Disney Completes Dali Animation · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Dali was one big walking hardon....
    Im sure most people only knows the oil paintings he made like the clocks and elephants...
    But most of his work was hand drawings and let me tell you, they where not for the faint of heart.

    There was an exibition last summer here in finland with about 100 of them. 99 of them included atleast breasts or female geneterial (SP?)...

  9. good they only have about $40 billion on Microsoft Introduces IM Licensing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    'Running an (IM) network is expensive,'

    It's not like making it free would even dent their economy..
    Just another exuse for "we want to be alone".. oh well

  10. Re:AltiVec on Virginia Tech to Build Top 5 Supercomputer? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah right, so what your saying is that they should build their own cluster by putting together 1100 units of grey boxes?
    In your "calculations" i think you forgot to add the added manhours for doing this...
    and thats not even thinking about the order / failure rate...
    buy mem for 1100 machines is bound to have 1, 2 or more (properbly the ladder) mem blocks not working...
    And im sure there is alot more reasons to this that you ( and i) missed...

  11. Re:Pigeons? on MIT Roofnet · · Score: 1

    sorry KoolDude, seems mods are without a real sence of humor today :( To bad i aint got any mod points for you, cuz you my man is funny as hell!

  12. Re:ca-ching... on SCO DOS Harming Innocent Bystanders · · Score: 1

    I wonder.. have they just bought a copymachine, and they are standing in the backroom copying shares to sell?
    there can't be much stock left in their hands...

  13. Re:Since when... on Brazilian Rocket Explodes on Launch Pad · · Score: 1

    I see your point..

    Nation / Country, there is a difference in the words that i wasnt aware off... Nation vs Country explanation

  14. Re:Since when... on Brazilian Rocket Explodes on Launch Pad · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Though you dont need passports to cross boarders inside europe there is still a HUGE difference between this and declairing europe as one country!
    I have nothing in common with lets say someone from Italy other than currency and open boarders as an european.
    Culture and history defines my heritage and the only thing i have in common with you (a german) is again currency and open boarders.
    On my passport as a dane it says Danish citizen, not a citizen of european union....
    I live in finland, hench the euro as currency, some countries in the european union doesnt even have the euro (denmark, england). So i dont see how you can say Europe has become one country. Its like saying south america is one country because they are all tanned...

  15. Re:if only on Apple to Accept Returns of Mac OS X on Some G3s · · Score: 1

    In fact the fact that they refused to ever make it work on the G3 LIKE THEY PROMISED is actively NOT standing behind the product.

    Be very carefull with stating your oppinions as fact...
    Quote from the article:
    Ferlauto noted that after the lawsuit was filed, Apple releases an update to Mac OS X, version 10.1.5, that offered improved graphics performance for machines that use the ATI Rage graphics card.

    Now one might interpret this as them working towards what they promised... That being the case its not a fact that they refuse to ever make it work, in MY oppion, it shows the opposite being the case...

  16. Re:Some info about the vulnerability on Security Update 2003-08-14 Released · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I think you are seriously dearranged in the head if you think Steve Jobs is in charge of selecting what ftp server is shipped with osx... im pretty sure it was some project manager not jobs him self... so i believe your end remark of first paragraph should be "Thanks Apple".... Ofcourse i could be wrong..

  17. Q3 anyone? on Videogames You Love To Hate · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I think THE one game i absolutly hate is quake3... I was an avid q2 player, and for some reason (call me crazy, or anything else you'd like), it just didnt have the expected feel that i had hoped... but then in q3's defense, i didnt really give it a shot (pun intended) when i saw how horribly far away from the atmosphere of q2 it was...

  18. Re:Dual 2Ghz on Cheap PPC Linux Machines From IBM · · Score: 1

    I beg to defer, if you read the above article before starting your slander, you would realize that this is for servers aswell as desktop machines... Desktop machines do need a gui period (unless your a freak hidden in the closet from the old dos days and refuse to take on the "new" technoligy of having more desktop area) =D

  19. Re:depends on the price point... on Cheap PPC Linux Machines From IBM · · Score: 1

    Its precisely this "lag" of flexibility that makes people more productive in a macosx environment... Dont get me wrong i love my linux box, almost as much as my macosx box, but i find i spend to much time adapting the look&feel on my linux box to what i want rather than doing my job.... Insidently there IS hacks for the macosx aqua window manager to replace the eyecandy if that is what you want...

  20. Re:Apple Works on Panther's TextEdit to Open MS Word Files · · Score: 1

    A Ford Taurus still gets you from point a to point b, just as well as a porshe or mercedes... though the ladder two cars does it with style :)

  21. Re:AVID is better competition then? on Adobe Drops Mac Support For Premiere · · Score: 1

    My comment was sarcastic, but its kind of hard to show that on "paper" :) Seriously though, there sole reason for leaving the Mac is because they dont think there is room for both FCP and Premiere, now this indirectly implies to me that they will try to enter the more professional area, hench start competing with AVID, now avid has middlesized packages aswell (avidExpress is imho)... well perhaps im reading to much into the situation... Their action just seems ironic to me....

  22. AVID is better competition then? on Adobe Drops Mac Support For Premiere · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So instead of fighting for glory with Apple, they will now put all their eggs in one basket in the competition against AVID? Makes no business sense to me...

  23. Re:Turn the optimizations on first. on NASA Benchmarks the New G5 Powermac · · Score: 1

    I don't consider my self being a Terrier walking yuppie, though i have a mac.... I wouldn't buy a Toyota to drive in, if i could get an BMW... Given both cars would take me from PointA to PointB, one would do it with comfort and style.... I'll leave you to figure out which of the cars im talking about here... However its an incredible view you have, even for a AnonCoward, i must say...

  24. Re:Who cares?!? on Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged · · Score: 1

    Superdrive doesn't have any buttons period... The eject button is part of the apple keyboard on the right side... so its either that or drag the cd/dvd to the trashbin (anyone other than me find this rather unlogic for a burner?)

  25. alternative news item perhaps? on Apple Announcement Broadcast Live · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has anyone considered that the news might be about osx.3? feature freeze is about a week away, and still no press release or any official news about this... Though music to you ears does sound like somthing different, its still a posibility...
