  1. Reviewers who give 10/10 are... on First Xbox 360 Reviews Hitting the Web · · Score: 1

    Reviewers who give 10/10 are idiots, fanboys or bribed. Anyhow, they lose all respect what i've had to them (I know that no one cares about my respect;). But how come some game could be perfect? IIRC Best scores i've seen was for Tie Fighter (99) and some Final Fantasy. Yes, those were good games, but had some problems. Even a diehard fanboy should know that nothing is perfect. It's just embarrassing if PGR3 reviewer thinks that it's the perfect game *even* if he's big motor sports fan.

  2. Bad review on Two Megapixel Cameraphone Shootout · · Score: 1

    Kind of bad review in my opinion. It completely lacks macromode (where N90 clearly beats K750) analysis and only have one users opinions.

    Check mobile-review's review of there two phones: N90 & K750

  3. Old news on OpenOffice Bloated? · · Score: 1

    I've been saying this for years now and all i got bitching from fanboys. "No difference in my computer" Yeah right, i've installed OOo to 10-20 different configurations and where ever i test it, OOo is horribly slow to start. Slow startup is huge issue for many. Now you say that there is a quicklauch feature, but quess what? Maybe i don't wan't another memory hungry app to backround. (MS Office don't use any quickstart features either) Here's some numbers for you from my laptop. Coldstart: And memory usage (includes VM) OOo Writer: 31.6 seconds (~49 MB) Office Word: 4.8 seconds (~14 MB) "Warmstart": OOo Writer: 17.7 seconds Office Word: 1.8 seconds.

  4. You all are wrong.. on Cuba Switching to Linux · · Score: 1

    Linux is not communism, it's libertarism since you share it freely. In the other hand closed source is communism since it's closed and you can't really change things plus Gates is dictator. :)

  5. Toolbars on GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 Screenshot Demo · · Score: 1

    And still no customizable toolbars, what a shame. So much precious screenspace wasted and no way to configure them. Imagine, W*ndows had that feature since -95.

  6. Re:ruff! on Surviving College With Gear And Sanity Intact? · · Score: 1

    P0rn is always needed, even if you have real thing sitting right by. ;) Imagine those lonely hours without p0rn.

  7. Opera users on Not Enough Ads? Install Adbar. · · Score: 1

    Finally...Opera-users have no excuse!

  8. Flash address is simple to block on New Online Ad Technology To Bypass Popup Blockers · · Score: 1

    It appears that flash that it's appearing in middle of the screen is loaded from http://c.as-eu.falkag.net/. Quite easy to remove annoyances with Adblock (Mozilla)

  9. fools on Apple's Rumored PowerPod · · Score: 1

    April fooools!!!1111111!! Would look more authentic if pics were not rendered.

  10. No way on 75% of Network Connections Not From Browsers · · Score: 1

    Windows Media Player 34.43%. LOL. I don't even know anyone using WMP, mainly because it sucks.

  11. Re:Fascinating isn't it? on Microsoft "Swen" Worm Squiggles Into Sight · · Score: 1

    You know that windows has n^99 other email clients that are unaffected by swan? I'll prefer Mozilla Mail & News.

  12. Phew on Microsoft "Swen" Worm Squiggles Into Sight · · Score: 0, Troll

    ~160 M$ patches in two days...damn, windows has more holes than swiss cheece.

  15. Microsoft ethics on How Objective Is Microsoft's Search? · · Score: 1

    Gotta give them some credits, search for "Microsoft ethics" returns www.msboycott.com page. :)


  16. :D on SCO Wants $699 for Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    What was the color of mushrooms what they ate this time? Must be something to do with hallucinogens. :)

  17. Phoenix Foundation on The Mozilla Foundation · · Score: 1
    Why i get this flashback from MacGyver: Phoenix (aka. Firebird) Foundation where MacGyver used to work. Maybe Mozilla should hire R.D Andersson to make Mozilla more popular. :)

  18. Not so good.. on Estonia: Where the Internet is a Human Right · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I was at Estonia last year, and I really have to disagree with article because way too rosy picture of country. Computer prices are at sky high. GNP is quite low ($10,900), country has problems with criminality, prostitution, drugs, mafia etc. Tallinn is quite safe and prosperity city, mainly because all of tourists who carry *lots* of money there. But, at countryside. Lot's of Soviet era problems. ...But I can get there cheap booze :D

  19. Phew on Menu Shadows in GTK2 · · Score: 1

    Developers could waste their time for something useful--- For example making GUI better. Right now KDE & GNOME's biggest flaws are UI usability. Sure, there are tons of options and buttons, but they are poorly categorized and organized "just thrown into". Sooner or Later(TM) they have to do something about it. Make it look good right after user have installed, not requiring newbie Linux user to know how to compile kernel etc. It really makes me angry when I try to use KDE or GNOME and later go to use Win98 (sister's pc), witch is far ahead of usability than any of Linux WM. And it's even faster. :(

  20. Sound meter on Nokia 5100 Reviewed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sound meter actually quite cool, phone automatically adjust speaker volume depending how much there is background noise while speaking. It rocks! ;)
