  3. Epson Photo R200, R300 on Burn the CD on Both Sides · · Score: 1

    Easier to just stick the CD in a printer.

  4. Great! Shut down Earthlink on De-spamming Your Inbox The Hard Way · · Score: 1

    This is a great idea.

    Is there any way we can shut down Earthlink for 2 days? :-)

  5. Re:About Time on Babylon 5 Movie Starts Filming in April · · Score: 1

    Failed?

    TNT canned it because they wanted a mindless weekly shoot-em-up action series.

  6. Re:Crusade threads tied on Babylon 5 Movie Starts Filming in April · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that his character had the plague.

  7. Re:Not sure if I'm going to see it on Babylon 5 Movie Starts Filming in April · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You're the reason the networks have to dumb down programming.

  8. US Education Funding not for Teaching on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 2, Informative

    What would you expect?

    Most education funding goes into administration. There are a lot of non-teachers getting salaries from that funding. I've heard that in California and Arizona there are more administration headcount than there are teachers.

    When I went to school, the administration position for the elementary school (principal) was the 6th grade teacher. The administration office for half the county was this little 2 office building near the high school. How things have changed.

  9. iPod sales on hold...... on Rumored iPod Flash Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny

    In other news, iPod competitors leak fake rumors in order to sabotage christmas iPod sales.

  10. Re:So, is this how Apple Marketing Works? on Rumored iPod Flash Leaked · · Score: 1

    And that's why we have a sub $500 headless iMac today.

  11. Re:100% of A Students use.... on Too Many Computers Hurt Learning · · Score: 1

    In other news, 100% of A students have used a pencil at lest once.

  12. Re:Aqua on Mac OS X on OpenOffice.org Built with KDE and GNOME Support · · Score: 1

    You're a little confused.

    There are ZERO people working on an Aqua version.

    You are confusing the Java wrapped version of OOo/X11 with an Aqua version that is dead in the water.

  13. Re:Steve Jobs has critized portable video players. on Video iPod Available... Sort of · · Score: 1

    Of course this is coming from the same guy who decided to finally release a headless iMac and sell it 3 times the price it is worth. (G4 Cube)

    He can be pretty clueless sometimes.

  14. Re:I hope ... on J2SE 5.0 Source Code Bundles Now Available · · Score: 1

    Move to Brazil where the govn't is actually supporting an open source Java.

  15. Re:One Word on Round-Up Ready Coca Plants · · Score: 1

    Napalm was my first thought as well. Why was the parent modded as a Troll?

    Time time to invade Canada and make it the 52nd state. (The UK is the 51st state.)

    If you're really looking for excitement, there is always ApacheCon in Las Vegas.

  18. Re:Good movement from China's Gov. on China Closes 1,600 "Internet Bars" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    and if they haven't got any suitable information to release, they will make something up.

    Kinda like in the US. No?

    Go do a search on the web for the transcript of the latest Bin Laden viedo message. You'll find the 'transation' being fed in the US is quite different than the rest of the world.

  19. Music Videos? on New Apple iPod with Photo Capabilities · · Score: 1

    I would have thought it more logical for a music device that comes with a color screen and a giant HD to be used for playing music videos

    Especially since the Apple music store already offers the music video downloads for it.

  20. Kagi? on Yahoo Shuts Down Their PayPal Competitor · · Score: 2, Informative

    PayPal isn't the only service on the block. Nor is it the first.

    Just use Kagi.com

  21. Re:Apple gets it wrong on RSS for Mac OS X Roundtable · · Score: 1

    I think it would be silly to tie and RSS reader to a Mail tool.

    After all, RSS feeds are from websites and link to articles that are posted on web sites.

  22. Re:What's so evil about that? on High-Tech Shopping Carts · · Score: 1

    What's so evil about that?

    Maybe the fact that they purposely mark up the prices in order to be able to offer you that FAKE discount?

    Your savings are a sham.

  23. Re:What's X10? on X10 Hallowe'en Display · · Score: 3, Funny

    I didn't know that you could do anything else with X10. What else is there to do beside secretly recording women?
