  1. Re:I love the combination... on 4-Way Sun Fire V40z Reviewed · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yes, it will finish compiling in a reasonable amount of time... Maybe about as long as it takes a normal system (say, Debian) to install on a Pentium...

  2. Re:Plasma short lifespan... on Dell Enters HDTV Market with Plasma Display · · Score: 1

    Indeed. I have a 27" TV, that's probably around 16 or 17 years old now, and it still works. It's only a game playing TV at the moment, because it has some problems with bright pictures on it, but most games run well as long as I set the brightness and contrast right.

    But for a 16 year old TV, it's great.

  3. Re:All in a name.... on iDownload Tries to Silence Spyware Critics · · Score: 1

    Why do they bother to give their companies names like Claria and iDownload? Why not tell it like it is? iFsckU, iSpyOnU, ShowMeYourData, etc?

    I file-system check you? Would that really be bad?

  4. Re:Darn! on Star Wars Episode 3 Play-By-Play In Pictures · · Score: 1

    It's George Lucas... You were expecting it to make sense?

  5. Re:Extortion on First Arrest Made in U.S. For Spimming · · Score: 1

    I agree. Put big "Open Season (Corporations)" signs up around Redmond, and you'd get an army with shotguns at the door to Microsoft... ah, that'd be fun...

  6. Re:How it mostly works on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 1

    Well, look at it this way... You got 2 +4 Funny comments, for a simple mistake...

  7. Re:My first thought was . . . on Star Wars Episode III To Open Cannes · · Score: 1

    Ugh... Lucas?

    I bet he enslaved Portman and used her instead. That would work on many males.

  8. Re:I guess I'll say it... on Server Inside a Suitcase · · Score: 1

    Do you really want to try taking that on a plane?

  9. Re:Heat on Server Inside a Suitcase · · Score: 1

    Then you probably will never have children...

  10. Re:linux on the desktop on Desktop Linux Summit Highlights · · Score: 1

    Linux developers will never spend the kind of time that Apple does to make things cohesive and easy to use and maintenance free.

    Apple controls the base hardware system and the base software system. (I say base system, as there are 3rd party components/peripherals for Macs, as well as, obviously, 3rd party software.) Many Macs use many similar parts. Most PCs have very few components in common with each other. That is the main problem making everything "just work" on a PC, under any OS.

  11. Re:Just maybe... on Pfizer and Microsoft go after Viagra Spammers · · Score: 1

    Or maybe Microsoft will merge (in the hideous horror-movie way) with the viagra sellers...

  12. Re:iTunes Says Moo on Sirius Confirms iPod Satellite Talks · · Score: 2, Informative

    And *everyone* puts ITMS music on their iPod...

    Seriously. I don't have a single track from ITMS (although I do have a $30 gift certificate waiting for there to be something I want in the ITMS...). I have mainly Bittorrented albums, along with a few ripped CDs.

  13. Re:This sounds suspicious on Why MS is Not Opening More Source Code · · Score: 1

    The first one was from the Linux kernel, according to the original poster (to be specfic, a Mandrake version's source - I can't find the file it referenced in the 2.4.26 vanilla source on my box). The second two should be from the leaked Windows source (as no one disputed them in the comments on them).

    But I cannot personally confirm any of them.

  14. Re:Here is the google cache version.... on Panoramic Photos From The Apollo Missions · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh, come on... You're not karma whoring right.

    You need to make it funny AND informative, like this:

    MOooooooooON

  15. Re:The only good outcome of the 'Browser war'... on Gartner Says it's a 2-Browser World · · Score: 1

    How about we kill IE, and let the rest of the browsers survive? There are more than enough without IE... IE should be considered a hazard, not a browser.

  16. Re:New worst job in technology on Computer-Edited Photos Lead To Child-Porn Locale · · Score: 1

    Unless they put one of those "Let me in, I want to see this perverted shit" links on it...

    Then you ARE actually attempting to.

  17. Compatibility? on AOL Updates: Standalone Browser, Search, VoIP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Will their VOIP work with anything else?

    Because if it's AOL-only, it's not going to catch on with most of the world (or even 72% of the USA)...

  18. Re:Better colours on If The Problem Persists, Reboot The Car · · Score: 1

    You mean same colours. This is not an IT section story.

  19. Re:New worst job in technology on Computer-Edited Photos Lead To Child-Porn Locale · · Score: 1

    They would have caught you attempting to do something illegal.

    Attempted murder is something you can be charged with, for example. Or attempted rape.

  20. Re:Alberta on University Of Calgary To Offer Course On Spam · · Score: 1

    Since when did BC have hippies?

    Around where I live we have christian-fundamentalist-nutcases...

  21. Re:New worst job in technology on Computer-Edited Photos Lead To Child-Porn Locale · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing that those sort of government operations would just use people who look underage. A lot of people above legal age can be made to look younger.

    Or they don't have any child pornography, and just promises of it.

  22. Re:Less than stable on Mac OS X on Mozilla Sunbird's First Official Release · · Score: 1

    As much as I love Firefox, Thunderbird and other Mozilla projects... I do find them to be not-as-good on OS X as Apple's offerings.

    Don't get me wrong, I love using Firefox on my Linux box, but Safari is just better on OS X. Same with Mail, Address Book and iCal.

    Then your e-mail client is pretty smart.

    I'm sure it'll come someday.
