  1. Rock Opera a bad idea that keeps going. on Lost Footage of "Metropolis" Found · · Score: 0

    Gee this means that they are going to have to add more music to the rock sound track that was put out in the 80's.

  2. Spray it don't say it. on What Is the Best Way To Disinfect Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Well for starters the virus that you had cannot infect you again you have already had it. The next thing you have to realize is that the heat that a MBP generates will have killed off the virus that could have been transfered to it through your touch. There is also another reason that you don't have to worry is that there is nothing on the MBP that can maintain a medium in which the virus can replicate itself.

  3. Pay and Go on Microsoft Testing "Pay-As-You-Go" Software · · Score: 3, Funny

    So if I don't pay will it go away?

  4. Re:User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox on Walmart Rejects Firefox and Safari · · Score: 1

    For Firefox users who need to pretend they're using IE to get into the site: User Agent Switcher extension ...this may also be a good time for you Safari users to try out Firefox :) btw, I know that the site may throw all kinds of errors if you're browsing in Firefox, seeing as how they don't test for anything but IE. Well this got me in but I need to WMP higher than 9 on my system.
  5. And this interests me Why? on Microsoft Slugs Mac Users With Vista Tax · · Score: 1

    I say that mainly because for myself I have Zero interest in installing Vista on my mac in either Bootcamp or in a VM I understand the yes some people need both and being able to have both on one computer can be a real space saver on top of a desk. But I don't think that we are going to hear a lot of people complaining about it. I figure that someone out there will find a work around after all we are talking about Microsoft here people.

  6. Re:ipods make homeless people disappear on New York To Ban iPods While Crossing Street? · · Score: 1

    Your lucky I walk around with my iPod and I still have people coming up to me and asking me if I want to take their survey.

  7. Re:What about the deaf? on New York To Ban iPods While Crossing Street? · · Score: 1

    But thats just it because they can't listen to an iPod they are them not distracted by the misic while the Drive is being distractd by his/her car radio.

  8. And the Driver was.....? on New York To Ban iPods While Crossing Street? · · Score: 1

    I listen to my iPod all the time when I'm out and about. and I have never had it interfer with my paying attention to where I was going. My questioon is what was the driver doing besides sitting behind the wheel driving the car. Were they paying attention to their enviroment around them.

  9. Installation on Ubuntu 6.06 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    A friend tried to install it but for some reason it just stopped in the middle of the procedure. the Livedisks runs find no problem so that has him scratching is head.

  10. Re:10th planet on Slashback: OSS, Lawsuits, History · · Score: 1

    I think we should just decide based on the name. If the Romans named one of their Gods after it (e.g. Pluto), then it's a planet. If it's named after a person (Hale-Bopp) then it's a comet. If the name is just some random string of letters (UB313) then it's an asteroid. (Note: Under this system, the asteroids Juno, Pallas, Vesta, etc. would be reclassified as planets.) Planets are named after gods, moons after characters from Shakespear's plays comets after the discover/discovers. and they get them after the IAU classify them. I think that Juno, Pallas, and Vesta would be re-reclassed as planets by your methode because they where originally classify as plants.

  11. And this doesn't... on 34 Design Flaws in 20 Days of Intel Core Duo · · Score: 1

    Ha I have been justified in my distaste over Apple's movie to the Intel chip set.

  12. Why oh why do they listen to MS on Fate of High-Def DVD up to Microsoft? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think that MS would be the last company that anyone should listen to when it comes to setting standards since MS can't set any standards that work right.

  13. Re:Didn't you know? on Is SETI a Security Risk? · · Score: 1

    I would explain him, by all the drugs that he took in college.

  14. Wow ET uses on Is SETI a Security Risk? · · Score: 1

    I didn't know that ET was using the same computer systems that we use. Oh dear were all doomed, at least untell we give them a cold.

  15. So how much of a danger does this mean? on Sony Music CD's Contain Mac DRM Software Too · · Score: 1

    So with what gets installed if you do install it, how much of a potential of a threat does it mean for the Mac?

  16. Should I or shouldn't I on Will You Stick with Apple, After the Switch? · · Score: 1

    Well I think for the time being that I will stick with the systems that I have for now, I may end up getting a new mac if I feel its worth it.

  17. Thats Fine on Little Interest In Next-Gen Internet · · Score: 1

    I say fine let the business world keep the old internet and let the Geeks keep the IPv6. After all I think half the problems that the internet has, has to do with the business world anyway.

  18. Re:30" Display? on QuickTime 7 Released, HD Movie Trailers Available · · Score: 1

    At work I loaded QT7 on the 17" G5 iMca with 768 MB of RAM and you could visable see the frame rate drop a lot. If I wasn't now out of a job for the Summer I would try and get a G5 tower just to get the faster processer.

  19. Re:Representatives of the People, Indeed on Jail Time For P2P Developers? · · Score: 1
    They ought to just declare HTTP, FTP, UDP, TCP, and IP illegal. After all, they're used for almost 100% of digital piracy. It would really save the imbeciles that draft laws these days a lot of time and effort if they just took that logical step. It's not like it would be any significant change from what they're doing now anyway since they obviously have no clue how the technology they're drafting against works.
    Careful you might give them some ideas. Though I think that if something like this had a chance to pass then I think that a similar law for gun manufactures.
  20. Re:Is it just me... on Revenge of the Sith Pics Leaked · · Score: 1

    I thought that there q\was more doing on between those two.

  21. Re:Is this a worthy update or not? on Knights of the Old Republic 2 Ships · · Score: 1
    Apparently because they want to develop their own properties, not pay a large chunk of money to license other people's. More money for the same amount of work, I imagine.
    That pretty much describes, why they are focusing on producing their own content nows. They own it, they get more money and control of product marketing. That and they get their name first in the credits of any game that they do.
  22. Re:Is this a worthy update or not? on Knights of the Old Republic 2 Ships · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that was a good presentation. Jade Empire trailers made the game look like it is going to be something to play when it comes out. It was also interesting to learn why BioWare didn't try to get the contract for Knights of the Old Republic 2.

  23. Re:Possible? on Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens · · Score: 1

    Just as its not possible for Canadians to buy songs from the US, Its not possible for Americans to buy songs from Canada's iTunes. That is Unless you have a Canadian mailing address then you could.

  24. Re:Don't be a metrosexual on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 1

    But isn't Charles Bronson dead, so I think its going to take a lot more to get him to flip and kill the punks.

  25. Re:Don't be a metrosexual on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 1

    I think he was asking for a geek method of improved home security, not a rednecks idea of improved security.
