  1. Re:Wine for OSX on No WINE Before Its Time · · Score: 0, Interesting

    All well and good until Steve demos Leopard, pointing out that almost any Windows app can run on the Mac using Rosetta.

  2. Re:TechTV Lives! on iTunes 4.9 To Support Podcasting · · Score: -1
    This Week in Tech (TWIT) is my favorite podcast. I look forward to my Monday commute so I can listen to the new episode. TWIT is published at midnight on Sundays.

    Currently, the audio quality is lacking, but they are working on a better solution. It's great to hear Leo, Patrick, Robert, Yoshi, and Kevin all together again.

    Also, for Mac users, consider http://maccast.com/. Adam Christianson does a great job covering Mac news and tips.

  3. Re:$1 billion? on Repair Costs for Hubble Are Vexing to Scientists · · Score: -1
    How will this telescope be serviced? A million miles is a very long way to travel should a malfunction occur. At least Hubble only costs $1B to fix. JWST would cost far, far more than that for service and upgrades.

    Or is JWST a telescope built in the style of the Mars rovers that had an expected life span of 90 days and happen to have lasted a year?

  4. Re:So it goes. on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: -1

    Nope. It's gone, too.

  5. Re:Heh... on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: -1

    I just took a look at TMO. What a sad looking title. Looks more like Sims 2!

  6. Re:Heh... on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: -1

    I see this as a beneficial agreement. It makes room on the shelves for more games that don't have anything to do with the NFL. Plus, Sega can now spend resources on something other than competing with Madden.

  7. Re:Agreed on TiVo to Sell Your Fast-Forward Button · · Score: -1

    $50 promotional certificate? How did you come upon that?

  8. Wizard of SCO on SCO Spreads Rumors About IBM Lawsuit · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those monkeys flying from Darl's sphincter lately will be shown to have been stolen from the Wicked Witch of the West. E-mails between the Lollypop Guild and the Lullaby League will prove it.

  9. Re:i'm sure on What Are You Looking At? · · Score: 0

    Some people discard or eat their young after they are born (the latter being extremely rare). Animals never abort. Well, likely not... it's never been caught on a surveillance camera.

  10. Re:i'm sure on What Are You Looking At? · · Score: 0

    Yep... humans have the unique trait of being the only species that intentionally kills its young before they are even born. Rather evil, I think.

  11. You got ripped... on Best Results From Bartering Computer Services? · · Score: 0
    He offered you a single service whose effects last for one day maximum in exchange for a service that lasts months or years? I'd be looking for a lot more adjustments than that! You saved him a lot of grief and hassle.

    Your technical expertise is worth just as much as his medical expertise, IMHO.

  12. Re:Preference on What's Your Terrorism Quotient? · · Score: 0

    Their system is probably just as preferential as the random searches going on at airports and other secure locations. You are just as likely to be a terrorist if you are a grandma, child, or any other non-muslim creed.

  13. Re:So why not blackhole the entire country? on 71% of Spam Servers are Located in China · · Score: 0
    I love this idea! Virtual sanctions!

    Unfortunately, the minor issue of MONEY gets involved. If we blocked them off totally, it will hinder trade with the Chinese, which is what too many world economies rely on.

  14. Re:Won't someonebody think about the clueless?! on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 0

    If it hadn't been for Kevin's recent Dark Tip about Linux on Linksys routers, I wouldn't own the router I have now, the WRT54G. Although they did not make it clear on the show there is only one (now two) router model(s) that can be modified and despite the fact that it isn't really a "Dark Tip" because compiling firmware from GPL'd code isn't a hack nor very dark, I still found it to be a very useful segment.

  15. Comcast weenie has a great idea... on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Let's buy a great channel and fire everybody!"

  16. If you... on Google Files for IPO · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you had had a Slashdot subscription, you would have been one of the first to see bobwyman's advertisement.

  17. What is the ultra-loud 173 dB sound? on Thermoacoustic Cooler Means Green-Friendly Icecream · · Score: 2, Funny

    The sound that would send the necessary amount of "green-friendly" chills down the spine of any helium-cooled refrigeration unit is Howard Dean's famous scream.

  18. Re:ho-hum on New Online Ad Technology To Bypass Popup Blockers · · Score: 1

    You forgot to tell Adblock to "Collapse Blocked Elements". It's located on the Adblock Preferences dialog on the Adblock Options menu. Check that option and no more whitespace...
