  1. Clunky on ViewSonic AirPanel v150 Review at Ars Technica · · Score: 1

    I find it very clunky. It's actually slightly modified dumb terminal. It has a processor and it connects to windows through some implementation of remote desktop. The whole experience is just slow. You have to use one to really feel how slow it is, not to mention its high-magnitude gravitational pull (it's heavy). We ended up plugging the AC adaptor to a 220v outlet and returning it to the store.

  2. Re:Apples to Oranges comparison on Microsoft's Next Virtual PC Will Run Linux · · Score: 1

    As one of the developers who uses both tools at work, we actually don't care about how each is implemented. Both can run virtual machines and install OS on and that's what really matters. It's good to know those differences though.

  3. VMWare 4 vs MS Virtual PC 2004 (build 553) on Microsoft's Next Virtual PC Will Run Linux · · Score: 1

    There are pros and cons with each. I find VMware's machine more responsive and takes advantage of CPU cycles better. That's because VMware fully allocates the virtual machine's memory. It uses the snapshot mechanism for saving and reverting to previous state. Virtual PC has a slightly slower performance. Memory is conserved and only allocated on demand. It has the option to withold commits to the virtual drive instead of using snapshots.

  4. King of the Kube on Rubik's Cube Comeback · · Score: 1

    I'm actually so good at it that people are starting to ask me to jumble a finished cube.

  5. Re:Aero on Longhorn Developers @ MSDN · · Score: 1

    Well, maybe next time. I'm getting a little fat already.

  6. Aero on Longhorn Developers @ MSDN · · Score: 1

    How do I enable aero on the latest build?

  7. Battlestar Galactica rules on Blakes Seven To Return · · Score: 1

    and also macgyver.

  8. Hehe on Digging Holes in Google · · Score: 1

    I was skimming through the thread subjects and I see words "stupid", "moron", "useless", "crap", "lame", and etc. Well, I couldn't agree more. The author begins saying that google is god (omnipotent). What he doesn't realize is that the tool is useless if you cannot properly use it. I read someone posted about a telephatic search engine..LOL. The author hopes someday he just opens google.com on his browser, stick his head on the PC screen, and out comes the search results.

  9. Slam( ) on Wired To Publish Slammer Source Code · · Score: 1

    static void Main() { if (MSSqlSrv.ver 7) { MSSqlSrv.Slam(); } }

  10. Re:Well... on Microsoft Orange SPV Phone Review · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No, Howard does that all the time not to be popular. He's already popular (go to www.howardforums.com) and he's a regular in phone conventions and stuff.

  11. Bonzi Wells, Bonsai, and Bonzi Buddy on Bonzi Class Action Suit Settled: No Foolin'! · · Score: 1

    Bonzi Wells could have put more effort and made his team go further in the playoffs. I'm fascinated by Bonsai. Once I saw this baobab tree that I can hold with my hand and it's really neat. Anyway, I was expecting more than just preventing Bonzi Inc. from using those misleading ads. I still remember when the Bonzi Buddy came out (including some of their other crapware like InternetBoost which in fact just makes a couple of registry tweaks), and that time I run a software rating site and forum. Man, you bet I see complaints to the thousands about that program. Although I never used any of their crapware, I felt furious too that such company would create a horrible pieace of junk. But what the hell, this was back then when dotcoms are booming, Dell PC ads are on every newspaper, and Quake 2 was the rage.

  12. Old news on Counterfeiting With High Resolution Inkjets · · Score: 1

    Come on, Beavis and Butthead tried that many many years ago.

  13. one word on The Interplanetary Internet · · Score: 1

  14. Turminator on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    You go now or I re-arrange your organs.

  15. Analog vs. Digital on Gibson's Digital Guitar Finally Released · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The human brain can notice, although subconsciously, differences between digital and analog sound sources. Analog ones having very fine distortions that we humans cannot discern consciously. The concert is cancelled because someone hacked into his guitar.

  16. Lord of the Rings by Quentin Tarantino on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 1

    Well he's a movie director, not a writer, but here it goes:

    "Elvish motherfucker do you speak it!??"
