  1. Why is this /.ed? on I, Robot Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    I thought everybody was bitching about having Realplayer? It doesn't play .mov files does it?

  2. Re:Um EDITORS? on Canadian Record Industry Presses ISPs in Court · · Score: 1

    The parent is right, this spamming is stupid, but you are all AC for a good reason, mainly for the "C" part.

  3. This all happens where? on Halloween X Author Mike Anderer Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    O yes, in America of course where none of this matters outside that little planet. Opensource can either grow with or without the USA's help.

  4. Gone with only 3 comments on Making IE Standards Compliant · · Score: -1, Redundant

    /.ed already, that was fast work guys, seriously, I *WAS* interested in a standards compliant browser for IE7.

    Of course, the translator wasn't working back then.

  6. Re:OS "improvements" on A Quick Look at Longhorn Build 4053 · · Score: 1

    You are right in what you say, but this is windows you are taking about.

  7. Final Release on A Quick Look at Longhorn Build 4053 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Obviously, the final release or even the beta releases will not consume this much of the system resources.
    No actually, they have the all important Brushed... I mean Slate look in place, so thats development pretty much wrapped up on this version.

  8. Re:They should of done this from the start on Peter Jackson Says "Hobbit" Movie In The Works · · Score: 1

    So rather than discuss the topic, its more important to point out my bad grammer?

  9. Re:Was LOTR really that good? on Peter Jackson Says "Hobbit" Movie In The Works · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To be honest, I was bored sitting through RoTK, the second one didn't get me giddy either, the first one did but I'm sick of that as well. RoTK shouldn't of won the amount of oscars it did and at the end of it, I'm glad I don't have the DVD's. But was it worth it after all this time, no. I'm sick of LoTR now.

  10. They should of done this from the start on Peter Jackson Says "Hobbit" Movie In The Works · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Once I saw the flashback scene in LoTR: FOTR, I knew Jackson should of started with the Hobbit first and I remember him saying from the start that he wouldn't do it either, even as fans asked him to. I mean it completely sets up the events in LoTR and introduced some of the main characters to us, it couldn't be been perfect as a taster of things to come. Of course, Jackson has changed his mind and done a complete U turn on this and will now do it. I hate films that do prequels second. I hope it doesn't end up like Enterprise with it destroying continuity and not feeling the same as the rest in the franchise.

  11. Re:It is the only thing on Apple Plans to Grow to $10 Billion · · Score: 1

    Its not just about stability, its the way OSX has been designed, its layout follows guildlines with a logical and a clear UI, more that can be said for windows2000 or any other version of windows. The first niggle I have with windows is going to the start menu and shutting down, that doesn't make sense for starters. But generally its little things like that rank OSX as being superior in more ways than just stability because OSX can crash as well.

  12. This is a great idea... on Building a Large Linux Knowledgebase · · Score: 1


    Infact I used wiki last night looking for some information on file formats, and its not the first time i've used it either, but last night rather than find out all about the chewbacca defense, goatscx man and the underpant gnomes I had found some good stuff for my college project. Its much better than paid for resources with adverts and membership programs.
    I contributed to its brilliance via Paypal and I'm glad there will be a linux variation of it as well, I don't use linux personally (OSX) I know I will in the future, and what better place to look?

  13. Re:Just missed it! on Tokyo Narita Airport Gets PDA Voice Translators · · Score: 1

    I'm going in September, if its cheap enough I might enquire about one for personal study as well, but it better not speak like a Lucy Liu bot or Stephen Hawking, THAT-WOULD-BE-STUPID.

  14. Re:If the US is short on cash... on Glenn Urges Direct-to-Mars Trip · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, we HAVE to be really ignorant first and create clones and such, THEN we do the moon THEN we have WW3 THEN first contact happens...the future is getting brighter everyday/

  15. If the US is short on cash... on Glenn Urges Direct-to-Mars Trip · · Score: 3, Interesting

    what better time to join up with the other countries of the world and create starfleet early.

    I stopped watching TV 6 months ago and i'm 22! I have so much time on my times its crazy! But fuck me, i'm doing shit loads of course work because of it and because i'm on an emac I don't have any games either. All I have for entertainment now is my wrist and some music!

    I don't buy DVD's and I won't be buying this crap, tis not hard to do?

  23. Is it just me or... on Microsoft Plans WinXP "Reloaded" · · Score: 1

    do MS set themselves up whenever they name a product or give an idea. I remember the MS Stinkerphone (Stinger) as one example. I mean please, the connotations you could get from XP Reloaded alone are a cause for concern about their mental state at Redmond!

    Well actually they can't be your friends if they use wma, friends don't let friends use wma.

    Tell your friends there is a little known format called mp3 and every player uses that, except SONY. You can also get wma to mp3 converters on the net anyway.
