  1. Re:No G5, and the worst part... on PowerBooks & iBooks Get Speed Bumped · · Score: 0

    I wasn't trolling, I was merely obscurely referring to the ability of using the touch pad as a button. You have to "Tappa tappa tappa" and it works like a left mouse button. Sorry for being ambiguous, you insensitive clods!

  2. Saves money... on LinSpire LPhoto and LSongs: bring on the lawsuits! · · Score: 0

    On Userability studies if your goals are the same as those of the Apple Corporation. If of course these are similar to the interfaces of the equivalent Apple Corporation applications.

    If they are saving money, good for them.

  3. Raven... on Hackers: Under The Hood · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is that your real name or did you legally change it to match your electronic alter-ego? Does this alter-ego influence the way you dress?

    Number two... Can you hack my bedroom and clean it the f*ck up?

  4. Re:Worst. Title. Ever. on PowerBooks & iBooks Get Speed Bumped · · Score: 0

    But the faster you go over them the less effect they have. Much like driving over a laptop.

  5. Re:No G5, and the worst part... on PowerBooks & iBooks Get Speed Bumped · · Score: -1, Troll

    "HEY APPLE! My money is waiting until you get a G5 and build a goddamned 2 button mouse into the case. Don't make me buy an add-on mouse to a laptop to cover up your inability to adapt to the times."

    Tappa, tappa, tappa!

  6. Think about it... on Apple Rejects RealNetwork's Pleas · · Score: 0

    Real must really want Apple to have a chance in the streaming audio/video market. They were so kind in trying to make a deal with Apple (because they don't need Apple's help to fight against Windows Media codecs). I think Steve Jobs has made a Really bad mistake here. Without Real, Apple is doomed.

    Who is Real?

  7. You have to wonder... on Gmail Commentary and Responses · · Score: 0

    why you need 1GB for email. For the spam of course!

  8. Re:Providing more vendor options? on New South Wales Traffic Authority Switches to Macs · · Score: 0

    I think it's just to keep up with appearances. Image is everything. Plus after awhile the IT department gets bored because the current system has been in use for a while and sometimes it's nice to change it for shits and giggles.

  9. Re:Those Wimps! on Lindows Changes Name to 'Linspire' · · Score: 1

    Brand protection is a funny thing. Let's not forget Microsomebody aren't the only ones who do this feverish 'protection' of trademarks (brand names, etc). Seems to happen alot unfortunately.

  10. The problem... on Sphere XP Makes GUI 3D · · Score: 1

    is that it is confined to a 2D screen. 3D will not be mainstream until the physical interface between machine and pathetic humans is changed.

  11. Re:Those Wimps! on Lindows Changes Name to 'Linspire' · · Score: 1

    The problem all comes down to money. One side has more, and can use that against your pathetic human case.

  12. Re:You have got to wonder... on N-Gage QD - Nokia's Answer To The Critics? · · Score: 1

    You do bring up some valid points, like the thickness is alot and the controls are average. But it's nice to see some good points about them.

    N-Gage: It's really good at radio.

  13. Re:Apple clones on Element Computer: ION Linux on Linux Hardware · · Score: 1

    The difference is this is aimed at the business desktops I would think. I haven't really seen a Mac there unless they had an interior decorator do the place.

  14. You have got to wonder... on N-Gage QD - Nokia's Answer To The Critics? · · Score: 0, Insightful

    how the first one managed to see daylight. Don't they test it with humans before release? Anyhoo, at the moment I don't see the next Gameboy or PSP so maybe this might work. I bet those people who got the first one are hoping for some kind of rebate ;P Are there people who bought it?

  15. Re:cheese on Chess Improves Machines and Humans Alike · · Score: 1

    But Plato says it existed before, so prior to understanding it, it was. So they were always going to be healthy even if we hadn't discovered it so. Boing.

  16. I can think of one word... on Auto-Censoring DVD Player · · Score: 1

    Over-engineered. I guess it's either that or the bottom line.

  17. Re:I'm feeling very insecure right now. on MagLev Trains Annoyingly Loud · · Score: 1

    Were they Americans?

  18. Re:start the stopwatch... on New Windows Vulnerability in Help System · · Score: 1

    They could have written the patch already, wait for the exploit to be made public then release the patch. That way they aren't the ones that admit there is a problem and they are the heroes who have fixed it in a timely manner. Heroes! Software heroes! Heroes!

  19. Re:Afraid on New Windows Vulnerability in Help System · · Score: 1

    Are you American?

  20. More... on Chipset Integrates Gigabit Ethernet, RAID, Firewall · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Do more firewalls make a more secure machine? There will be a firewall built into your chipset, your OS, your router...

    I have a feeling it's got to do with pointless features more than anything else.

  21. Interesting... on Can Communications Be Learned From Chimps? · · Score: 0

    "The ZSL will be studying the volunteers to see how talking chimp affects situations like workplace conflicts"

    Bonobos in the workplace. Gives a new meaning to getting shafted by the boss.

  22. Re:Aha! on Yellow Dog Linux Gets 64-Bit Version For G5 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Because they want to piss you off?

  23. It's sad... on Linux Based HD DDR used on Starship Troopers 2 · · Score: 0

    that the best part of the movie will be the TV. Why go the the movies to watch TV, when you watch TV at TV.

  24. Re:Starship Troopers *2*!?!?! on Linux Based HD DDR used on Starship Troopers 2 · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yeah because the following titles were taken:

    * Apocalypse Now.
    * Judgement Day
    * Jesus does Jerusalem.

  25. I'm waiting... on Installing Linux on a Dead Badger · · Score: 0

    for installing Linux in Paris Hilton (Debian because of lack of processing power). Hopefully they make a video about it and post it on the internet.
