  1. Re:Evil flash banners on Intel vs. AMD - Today's Generation Compared · · Score: 0

    Nice and off topic but....what ads? Anyone who sees ads on that site is getting duped into thinking they need quad cores to get through the inter-tubes-web.

  2. Upgrade my old laptop with MiniPCI on 802.11n Draft 2.0 Approved by Working Group · · Score: 0

    When I can upgrade my old Dell D600 that still has a MiniPCI card (not PCIe) to 801.11n I will be happy. I'm not about to stick a PCMCIA card in this thing.

    That was easy! Thanks Intel!

  4. Chinese vs. Americans on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 0

    I figure all our (American) smartest scientists are the Asian ones. So who better to pass the crown to than an Asian country? There's a whole hell of a lot more Asians thre. It just makes sense.

  5. Re:YAY! More broken plug-ins! on Firefox 1.1 Scrapped · · Score: 0

    I'll tell you the same thing I said to the one who would be glad to see me stop using Firefox: Maybe you have time to futz around with software to get it to work. There are a lot of us out there that expect when a developer releases something, that it uh....WORKS! 1.0.5 was a mess. 1.0.6 was just as big of a mess.

    Between Firefox and the junk Symantec has been releasing lately, developers have gotten too arrogant. Just test your stuff before you send it out there.

  7. YAY! More broken plug-ins! on Firefox 1.1 Scrapped · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    I can't wait to upgrade to this, find out that half the plug-ins don't work and spend 2 hours trying to get 1.0.4 to work again.

    I'm switching back to IE or the AOL Explorer if this keeps up.

  8. Re:RELEASE CYCLE!!! on Firefox and Thunderbird 1.0.6 Released · · Score: 1

    Upgrade all you want. It still doesn't work right. Crashes on 5 of my systems. Open source people have gotten too arrogant. I'm ditching this and installing AOL Browser.

    Same here. Missing something here?

  10. Re:before anyone else does it... on Mac OS X "Tiger" Enters Final Candidate Stage · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you want to use those high tech two button mice in OSX you have to get the new version. Those brainiacs at Apple finally figured out how to make and support a two button mouse!

    Although I do have to admit that an OS that even Terry Schiavo could use can't be THAT bad....

    And they have I hate Cox cable modem at home and have found they have drastically cut back on their retention rates. No longer am I able to download all the warez, movies and music I once was!

    Now I read about this....it's the Axis of Evil. GWBush was right!

  14. Re:iGame on More On PS3 and Xbox 2 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If Apple came out with an iGame or something else as "cutesy" named, there would be a line 2 miles long at every Apple store around the world. Why? Because there are too many people out there that will buy anything with an Apple logo on it even though it's overpriced and doesn't work quite as well as similarly priced equipment. But it's white and chrome! MUST HAVE IT!

    For those of you who might have burned your penis on your laptop, cool it down!
    If you are a mobile traveler like me, it's one less thing to pack when your toothbrush is USB powered!
    Or while you are brushing your teeth, you can find time to make some noodles or whatever the hell this thing does.
    And one last one to make soup with I guess.

    Try this then: http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/mas terid=676933/search=airport/ut=3f5d2cb620e192f6 I still contend it is cheaper to get a $79 card than a $49 card with 2 hours of hacking, 2 hours of patching, and 100 hours of frustration.

  18. $89 a little steep? on USB Wireless Driver Hacking · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How is $89 a little steep when the best price for the Airport card on Pricewatch is $45. Add in all the time you spend making it work and screwing around with it and you are WAY past $89.
