  1. It's not a big heatsink... on Zalman Showcase Massive P4 Heatsink · · Score: 1

    It's just a miniature pack of cigarettes.

  2. Re:More copied features on Jobs Claims Microsoft Is Shamelessly Copying · · Score: 4, Informative

    We all know Apple invented the ... Media Center PC, PocketPC, XBox, ...

    Yeah, they're called Mac TV, Newton, and Pippin.

  3. Re:Use these... on Password Memorability and Securability · · Score: 1

    Great. Now i know all your passwords.

    You mean Vile Fault?

  5. Re:So... what does it do, blur your target out? on Build Your Own Gauss Pistol · · Score: 3, Funny

    Um... First I thought someone left out the de- prefix. On second thought, it would probably be a bad idea to use this on a computer monitor...

  6. Re:Fucking PDFs on Panther's TextEdit to Open MS Word Files · · Score: 1

    Neilsen's criticisms of PDF are mainly interface issues with the viewer. Nothing about the file format itself. Sounds like you just need a decent PDF viewer -- like Apple's Preview. :P

    BTW -- Neilson is a doofus. He is intent on quantifying user interface design, which is still very much a qualitative thing to measure. (A user may like one interface over another simply because it "looks better".)

    they're obviously into post-modern literature...

  8. already seen it... on Mementos as Document Retrieval Keys · · Score: 1

    simon greenwold at mit's aesthetics and computation group has been working on this for a while now. (EyeBox)

  9. Re:Noisy Video on 12" PowerBook Wobble? · · Score: 1

    I have a 15" TiBook, and I notice when it's very quiet in the room, that I can hear the video changes.

    yeah. my 15" does the same thing. i thought i was going crazy for a while... i made sure sound sets were turned off five times & muted all audio, and it finally dawned on me that the noise was from the video card (i'm guessing)

  10. Re:ejj on End of The Von Neumann Computing Age? · · Score: 1

    uhhh... Harvard's architecture is mostly Neo-Georgian...you know - brick buildings and all...

  11. Re:Geek-friendly O/S, End user mouse? on Mac OS X: The Missing Manual (Second Edition) · · Score: 1

    what? you don't like to use a hockey puck as a pointing device?
