  1. Similar policy for email addresses? on FCC Still Pushing for Number Portability on Nov. 24 · · Score: 1

    I've been using my univeristy email account for 5 years now, but I'll be done with school very soon, and with that goes my email account. I almost wish there'd be talk about policies for keeping email addresses throughout the years also.

  2. Proof positive that this is true.... on Can You Raed Tihs? · · Score: 1

    I skimmed over beginning of the summary ("An aoynmnuos raeedr sumbtis") without even noticing the spelling mistakes. Go figure.

  3. Re:in other words on Nationwide Class Action Filed Against DoubleClick · · Score: 1
    Ok, so even if I never actually clicked on a DoubleClick ad, and have just "encountered" one of their messages, I can get in on this? Sounds like a good deal to me.

    Also from that link:

    The Complaint asks the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County to award punitive damages against DoubleClick in the amount of $500 per class member, as well as compensatory damages in the amount of $5.00 per deceptive advertising banner issued by DoubleClick.
    Does that mean that if this case goes through, all members of the suit get $500+?? That's a boatload of dough. There's a contact form here for anyone that wants to get e-mail updates from the law firm regarding the case. I guess in due time you can sign up to be a member of the class at this site.
  4. Yahoo should focus on their other features on Yahoo Buys Overture for $1.63 Billion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As with most everyone else here, Google is my web- searcher of choice. Years ago it was Yahoo, but that is no more.

    However, Yahoo is probably the site I use the most. They have tons of other features (news, games, (fantasy) sports, mail, address books, etc etc...), and most of them are free. I haven't found another site on the web that has anywhere near as many comprehensive and well-designed features as Yahoo. So, in the end, I couldn't care less about Yahoo's searching ability, because I don't think of Yahoo as a search engine any more. They're something different. And perhaps it is time for Yahoo to realize that also, and not spend billions of dollars improving the aspects of their site that no one needs anymore.

  5. Opera's survival? on Browser Wars II: The Saga Continues · · Score: 2

    Unfortunately for Opera, though, the Sympathetic Outsider role seems to have been scratched from the script.

    The article seems to take the stance that Opera's future is bleak, because it doesn't have a feasible chance to overcome any of the King browsers. I agree that Opera doesn't have a shot at doing that, but does it *have* to overcome these guys to survive? Can their role as a company that survives by sales and ad revenue from their browser (their only product) perpetuate itself? I hope it is not just a matter of short time before Opera caves, but can it be avoided?

  6. Now, is he reviewing Real Life?... on Gaming Site Reviews.. Real Life? · · Score: 1

    ... or just his reality in The Matrix? o_O

  7. They're not going for cuteness... on Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 2, Funny

    ..They're going for Kuteness. Get it right.

  8. Re:Hyperlinking frenzy on .Net:... 3 Years Later · · Score: 1

    I've always been under the impression that such excessive linking helps to protect the main article from the slashdot effect.

    Although linking to Eweek's mainpage seems to counter that, but you see my point.

  9. Re:Hey Novell ... on Novell Nterprise Linux Services Announced · · Score: 2, Funny

    Novell... no-vowel.

    Coincidence? I think not. Or is that "coNcidence?"

  10. Re:Silly on Real Life Doom With Point-And-Shoot Positioning · · Score: 1

    Instruction Manual: "Point the phone towards the theater to see what's playing."

    Blind dude: "Where the fuck is the theater?!"

  11. Re:for me on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    Quake gets my vote also.

    man, I *so* crapped my pants the first time I ran into a Fiend. You open a door, and there he is about fifty feet away. Then he's up in the air and on top of you before you can even think. And, yes, I ran like a pussy.

  12. Re:available for $3 on Review of SuSE 8.2 · · Score: 1

    All the information regarding an FTP install references SuSE 8.1. On top of that, none of the mirrors (even the ones marked 'complete') seem to have 8.2 on them. They have the live-eval version, but not what I would guess is needed for an FTP install. So is an FTP install of 8.2 possible?

  13. Re:No, Clearly It's Not AG...It's AG on Penny Arcade vs. American Greetings Revisited · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they did this on purpose, making it look like the logo is cut off, just to cover their asses. No where in this strip is American Greetings, or Strawberry Shortcake, or any other copyrighted material even shown in the strip.

    Is there any possible way this strip is violating a law?

  14. Re:No Big Deal on Spider-Man Has Back Problems · · Score: 1

    Technically, yes. It traveled back with Spidey from the Secret Wars [toymania.com] as his costume.

    Not quite the truth anymore... kinda. The venom story is being retold in Ultimate Spider-Man. It looks as if the Venom stuff was invented by the fathers of Peter and Eddie as a prototype of a cure for cancer. No spaceship/alien symbiote has been mentioned or hinted at yet, but I guess that could change (but I doubt it).

    My guess is that if the story of Venom were to ever make it to the big screen, it would be based on this stroyline in Ultimate.

  15. Re:Stop Whining on Lucky Wander Boy · · Score: 1

    DVD you say?

    p.s. That's a link off of the imdb page that you linked to. In the upper-right, click on DVD...

  16. Life after the SOL on IBM Working on Brain-Rivaling Computer · · Score: 1

    Nice to see that Mike got himself a job after MST!
