  1. Wait, I'M Portuguese on Membrane That Turns Any Surface Into a Touchscreen · · Score: 0

    How are we in the news? We never do real scientific work. There must be some sort of mistake.

  2. Re:Hurray! on EU Accepts Microsoft's Browser Choice Promise · · Score: 0

    Well, if you use Chrome there's an extension that loads IE in a tab. There's a similar plugin for Firefox.

    You're still using IE but at least you don't have to launch a new browser.

  3. Re:60 cups on 3 Cups of Coffee Increases Hallucinations · · Score: 0

    Thanks man.

    Next time I'm about to order a coffee I will make sure to only request 2 copper pennies worth of caffeine, because 3 is just too much.

  4. Re:Ha! See! I told you! on Ray Gun Puts Voices Inside Your Head · · Score: 0

    Headphones?

  5. Re:a Mac version on TrueCrypt 5.0 Released, Now Encrypts Entire Drive · · Score: 0

    Except File Vault is known for mysteriously making your files disappear and it also does NOT provide plausible deniability security.

    Oh, and you can't use File Vault to encrypt pen drives, etc.

  6. Obligatory on Japan Wants to Build 10 Petaflop Supercomputer · · Score: 0

    Cue the 'but does it run linux?' comments ...

  7. Re:Holy crap. on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 0

    Ahem.

  8. Already did! on Forbes Predicts 5% Desktop Share for Apple in 2005 · · Score: 0

    Bought an iPod last year and got a powerbook 12" about 4 months after. I have to say that for a linux power-user, it's a great OS.

  9. Why wont people ever learn? on 100 GB Email Account · · Score: 0

    It's not the size that matters... it's what you do with it!

  10. YES! I'm going to e-mail Apple... on Microsoft Opens MSN Music Store · · Score: 0

    ... to request that they MAINTAIN their interoperability policy until Microsoft changes theirs!

  11. I had surgery 4 months ago on Experiences with Laser Eye Surgery? · · Score: 0

    Best thing I ever did. I had "stigmatism" and "hipermetropia" (those are portuguese, dont know the exact translation). The process isn't painful at all because you have anestesia, but it's a bit uncomfortable because they put some kind of metal tool in your eye to keep it open, so you want to close your eyes but cant. I actually saw them test the laser before they performed the surgery... It shoots out a purple beam. You see the beam in it's whole like a fine line (not like those red presentation lasers where you only see the dot :P)

    Anyway, after the surgery I developed a little bit of photophobia which is sensitivity to bright lights. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm a vampire... just when it's sunny outside I always have to wear sunglasses. The trade-off is that I now have near-perfect vision. No more glasses for me!

    Btw, I've also noticed that after 3 hours sitting at the computer my eyes become tired, as opposed to before when I stayed at the computer for a lot longer and never experienced that effect.

  12. Hmmmm.... on Reduce C/C++ Compile Time With distcc · · Score: 0

    benifits of using distcc

    ... if you're Steve Jobs

    1. Port Mac OS X for x86
    2. Watch as a gazillion people change from windows to mac os
    3. Everyone loves OS X, everyone buys an iPod, and 'Tiger' provides World Peace.
    4. Give Bill Gates 20 bucks when he's begging for booze on the street
    5. Profit!

  14. Face it, we got screwed on Spider-Man 2 Game Goes Spider-Man Theft Auto? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The PC version of this game is not the same. Yet the name is the same, and the box cover is exactly the same as the console version. The PC version is actually a kiddie version as the post suggests. They're trying to make some money off people who will think it's the same game. Someone should sue these companies!
