  1. Re:Not gonna happen on Vista the End of An Era? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Never is a long time. Or do you belive that in 100 years when we're all wired with processors in our heads there'll still be point and clickers? No? Well, 100 years isn't anywhere NEAR never.

  2. Re:Yes on Game Industry Folks Siding With the Wii · · Score: 1
    "It really doesn't matter what you think of the Wii. The lines waiting for teh PS3 this morning were completely full. The prices on eBay are already legendary. You won't see that with Sunday's launch of the Wii."

    No shit. There are 4 million Wiis ready to go as opposed to 400k PS3s. So us Nintendo fanboys get to sleep in with out girlfriends and still pick up our console of choice.

  3. Re:Hollywood is out of ideas on Why Have Movies Been So Bad Lately? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    He was born in Peekskill, New York. He's American.

  4. Dwarf galaxy on New Galactic Neighbor · · Score: 2, Insightful
    "a galaxy so big we couldn't see it before"

    It's a "dwarf galaxy" and yet so big we couldn't see it before?

  5. Fewer vs less on TiVo Buries the VCR · · Score: 1

    It's "fewer than 10 models".

  6. Re:Clippy? on Under the Hood of Office 12 · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you fire up an Office app you may be surprised to find that the name of the Office Assistant in question is actually Clippit. Not Clippy.

  7. Re:I'm not an expert... on Office 12 Exposed · · Score: 1

    Must've hired Linux engineers.

  8. Re:This is pointless... on Skype With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    But why bother? Doesn't your laptop already have speakers and a mic? It's a lot of trouble to use what is most likely an uncomfortable handset that requires the use of your hands.

  9. Easy. on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 5, Funny

    gmail.google.com

  10. Millennium on A Mac Mini-lennium Falcon · · Score: 1

    It has 2 n's.

  11. Re:Why? on PSP Usage Lower Than Expected · · Score: 1

    But when people went from VHS to DVD they were replacing their collections. It's not DVD to PSP; it's DVD and PSP. Not many are going to sign up for that.

  12. Re:Movie Theaters are Obsolete on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    Wow. You throw kids in jail for being jerks in movie theaters? Sounds a bit extreme if you ask me. What a dumbass.

  13. I don't get it. on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    The only people who would want this are those users who like to clutter up their system tray with more bullshit. And is there an OS in the world that doesn't already come with a clock?! A clock plug-in! Now I've heard everything.

  14. Who cares? on Top Level .xxx Domain Concept Under Scrutiny · · Score: 1

    The whole idea is retarded anyway. The fewer TLDs the better for everyone.

  15. Re:Did M$ invent the iPod? on Did Microsoft Invent The iPod? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No but they deserve some credit for realizing what they were looking at. When PARC when to the Xerox brass they were shooed away. At least Jobs had the insight to develop the GUI for the masses.

  16. Re:This is pure STUPID on GTA Sex Game Debate Intensifies · · Score: 2, Insightful
    FBI Crime Statistics for year ending 2004: Nationaly Reported Violent Crimes: 258,000,968

    America is a nation of 300,000,000. How is that statistic possible?

  17. Fire. on How Would You Archive Mounds of Genealogy Data? · · Score: 2, Funny

    And plenty of it!

  18. Re:Why? on 107 Cameras to Scan Discovery for Damage · · Score: 0

    AFAIK there is an ejection system.

  19. Re:That's great.... on Google to Release Firefox Toolbar · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The highlighter. And it looks a ton better.

  20. No. on Is Programming Art? · · Score: 1

    Why diminish programming by comparing it to art? Art is easy. Art is boring. Anyone can make art. Artists are a dime a dozen.

  21. Re:Kurzweil is one of those geniuses on Ray Kurzweil 2001-2003 essays Available as a PDF · · Score: 1
    I hardly think programming your modern TRS-80 is quite the same as programming a behemoth from 1960.

    Because the size of the computer is proportional to the difficulty in programming it.

  22. Re:eBay on Shopping Online · · Score: -1, Troll
    Belive it or not, I'm finding things cheaper, yet with good quality, on eBay.

    [sarcasm]Wow, that is hard to believe. [/sarcasm] And I love how some retard who's never heard of eBay has modded it Informative.

    The same way people used to memorize 500 page long epic folk poems

    Did they memorize them character by character?

  24. Re:Anyone else tired of hearing about this? on Gear Up For Female Gaming Invasion · · Score: 1

    Exactly. You don't see an article about how guys don't like ironing or whatever it is girls like. It's dumb. NEWSFLASH: Girls don't like video games and guys don't like girls who like video games unless they're gay. There's nothing sexy about a girl who wants to play Xbox.

  25. Re:Spread the word! on Linux From A CIO's Perspective · · Score: 1
    Now, let's get prepared to rebut any Microsoft officials whenever they talk about the common "Total Cost of Ownership" as far as Linux is concerned.

    You're right, the debate is over. There is nothing left to be said. This anectode about a guy switching from Unix to Linux has finally solved the question: Which costs more? Windows or Linux? I heard that Bill has read this article and has already begun nailing some planks to the front door .
