  1. OpenOffice on The Future Is Open: The OpenDocument Format · · Score: 1
    Have you ever even looked at an OpenOffice document in notepad? Freaking nightmare.

    Then again, .doc files have no text you can decipher at all.

    EULAs have never held up as contracts

  3. Re:The better have one HELL of an excuse! on Steam Users Steamed · · Score: 1

    I bought a legit copy, then used a pirated copy. Go figure.

  4. The Fix! on Steam Users Steamed · · Score: 1
    I bought Halflife 2, straight from Fry's Electonics. I installed it and it took forever to contact the server and then to unlock it or something. Then whenever I wanted to play the game I had to wait an insane time just for it to start up. However, I found a fix.

    I downloaded a cracked copy. Took a day but when I installed it Halflife 2 started up immediatly. I stuck everything back in the box and hung it on my wall.

    Pretty screwed up if you ask me.

  5. Re:Trendy on Verizon and Microsoft Partner for IPTV · · Score: 1
    No, everything will be TV based.

    Thats the battle right now, will the future be around the computer or the TV?

  6. Compression on Verizon and Microsoft Partner for IPTV · · Score: 1

    To save bandwidtch they are going to compress the hell out of it. I am certainly not buying this.

  7. Re:Half a Segway... on Build Your Own Self-Balancing Unicycle · · Score: 1

    He said he had to take a few months to learn to ride a Unicycle first. He couldn't learn when he was building it because he wouldn't know if it was him or the cycle =)

  9. Re:Animal Pharm on Build Your Own Self-Balancing Unicycle · · Score: 2, Informative
    That is an ingenius reference to George Orwell's famous book, Animal Farm.

    In the book the pigs say "4 legs good, two legs bad", in reference to animals having four legs (good) and humans having 2 legs (bad).

  10. Re:Mouse on All Three Next-Gen Consoles at e3 2005 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Flaimbait? I was just talking about my need for a mouse to aim. Crazy mods =)

  11. Mouse on All Three Next-Gen Consoles at e3 2005 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If it doesn't have a mouse and keyboard, I'm not playing it. Seriously, why not use a mouse and keyboard for these things? Its a bitch to aim or do anything with a controller.

  12. Re:Confirmation? on All Three Next-Gen Consoles at e3 2005 · · Score: 2, Informative

    If these use the latest tech, probably not. It looks like these machines will be using more mainstream hardware, so prices will come down quickly, just like the PC world.

  13. Re:GSM please on Samsung's Linux-based Diskless Camcorder · · Score: 1

    That was supposed to be a joke

  14. Spelled wrong on New Intel Trademark Filed · · Score: 5, Funny

    They just spelled "Viva la AMD" wrong.

  15. Re:An anecdote. on U.S. Plans to Tighten Nuclear Power Plant Security · · Score: 1

    Dude, its freaking DELTA! They can get into anywhere.

  16. AMD on Intel Sonoma UK Launch Party · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yeah, all's a party until you remind them AMD is way ahead of them.

  17. Re:You have to prioritize on New Climate Change Warning · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I'm an American, and am totally behind you.

    Iraq was a HUGE mistake, worse than that, carefully planned mistake. Yeah yeah, think of the troops, we dont want to demoralize them! I doubt the troops want to live in a fairyland, they deserve the truth.

  18. Re:You have to prioritize on New Climate Change Warning · · Score: 2, Insightful
    More people die in cars than in terrorist attacks every year.

    Terrorism is overhyped. Planes are STILL the safest way to travel, yet we have this screening program hiring McDonalds rejects.

  19. Re:That would really suck on XM and Sirius Merger? · · Score: 0, Troll

    They were both crappy companies, not like anyone bought anything from them anyway.

  20. Not possible on XM and Sirius Merger? · · Score: 1

    I seriously doubt their satellites are equipped to broadcast video, or anything other than satellite radio for that matter.

  21. Microsoft on Oregon's Governor Backs Open Source Development · · Score: 0, Troll
    Microsoft will shoot it down through coercion with their licence agreements.

    Dont even bother celebrating.

  22. Re:Makes sense... on Speakeasy Embraces Firefox · · Score: 2, Informative

    The latest version now automaticly blocks that popup for any site other than the official one. You have to jump through a few hoops to install an XPI from an untrusted source.

  23. Re:This isn't exactly new.... on Speakeasy Embraces Firefox · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Netscape paid them that time. This time it is because Firefox just plain rules. Even better, NO licensing to deal with, which makes Firefox an attractive option for any company distributing or recommending it.

  24. Speakeasy on Speakeasy Embraces Firefox · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Speakeasy seems to be pretty in tune with the "geek/nerd" community. This shows they have smart managers or a persuasive IT department.

    Anyway, we should commend them greatly. Now we can say that ISP's even recommend it.

  25. Branded on Speakeasy Embraces Firefox · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Lets just hope they keep the name Firefox somewhere on the program so they can tell their friends.
