  1. Re:Trick on seeing it... on LGP Announces New Competition · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think it was boob...wait, nevermind. It was the image retention of that avi I just watched.

  2. Re:Overpriced food on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    Chris, is that you?

  3. Search for the word democracy... on Baidu Sued for Piracy on Eve of IPO · · Score: 2, Interesting

    and this is what you get.

    The first search term I used was freedom and lots of hits were found. When searching for "democracy", however, it just outright spit out that dialog box. Interesting.

  4. Hassle for bi- or even trilingual users on Asa Dotzler on Why Linux Isn't Ready for the Desktop · · Score: 1

    One comment took the words out of my mouth. In Gnome/KDE, it's a pain in the ass if I want to input Chinese and/or Japanese when the locale is set to English or a diffent language. Windows XP handles this good enough. Just change your input method, no need to mess with the region setting or locale.

  5. 50Mbits for $40 in Japan on Australia Gets 8Mbit/s Broadband now, 20Mbit Soon · · Score: 1

    I went visit my girlfriend's family in Japan last month. They have 12M ADSL in their house for about $35 per month(Wireless AP included). And for $5 more you get a 50M ADSL line. That's heaven right there.

  6. I use... on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    e d w a r d @ h o t m a i l . c o m I know I'm an asshole for doing so. But he took my name!

  7. Re:Stunning on Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites) · · Score: 1

    Not that I'm arguing, but I have an invite sitting in my hotmail inbox, which I received 3 hours ago.

  8. Re:Certain types of programming... on Math And The Computer Science Major · · Score: 1

    And you will learn it, and employers will not give a shit, because they just want to connect a webserver to a database, which is not science, and when you realize that your ego about your science knowledge has prevented you from finding a job anywhere but McDonald's, you will realize the error of your ways, and you will want to connect a webserver to a database.

    Well, jobs that require such simple skill get offshored so you'd be working in McDonald's anyway.

  9. Re:Alternate point of view on Real Launches New Player, Music Store · · Score: 1
    The problem is that you haven't used Real Player enough before. All this hatred toward RPlayer is generated from "using" it.

    I had used version 8 and it was bad enough. Not the content or the codec itself, but the bloated unwanted features. When I tried RealOne to view some content and was forced to upgrade, it was even worse. How so you say? All was described in previous posts.

    They didn't screw up once, they screwed up through out generations of RPlayers. It hard for people to trust them if they keep turning off their users for years.

  10. The issue that's been beaten to death... on Microsoft's iPod-Killer: Portable Media Center? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Battery life. Com'n, video playback? And a hard drive? Before you finish that 175-hour long video collection, the battery is probably on the way to garbage bin due to repeated recharges.

  11. Mini-me can do the job! on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 1

    Don't know about explosive shells, but I'm sure Mini-Me can be a good tripod.

  12. Re:Before... on Japan, China & South Korea May Develop OS · · Score: 1

    I can tell from your previous posts that you're an obvious Microsoft apologist - but separating fact from bias - Unicode support works perfectly well on this Linux box and all of the others I've ever used. International HTML characters render correctly, I can enter unicode characters into any modern application (e.g. those based on GTK or QT). Problems, In China they use GB code for character set, in Taiwan they use Big5, and in Japan it's Shift-JIS. Only few applications are using Unicode. And the truth is, Windows (2000 and XP) has excellent support for all these different character sets. You can use a English version of Windows XP and have no problem using software form those countries provided that you install asian fonts while installing XP.

  13. Re:Who this REALLY hurts on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 1

    Given that nVidia and ATi are going to release NV40 & R420 about the same time frame, I say this is kinda good news to them. Also they already have Half-Life 2 to brag about their refreshing products to the current ones.
