    You can always just *remove* your sunglasses when going indoors.

  3. Wireless Bluetooth... on Wireless Bluetooth 2.1 Speakers · · Score: 1

    Isn't Bluetooth wireless per se?

    Saying "Wireless Bluetooth" is like saying Wireless WiFi or Serial USB?

  5. Re:How about... on How Do You Job-Hunt If You Work Overtime? · · Score: 1

    Yeah..
    I once installed a processor the wrong way by mistake (back in the days the pin design didn't force the correct position) and it was a very nasty smell. :(

    Oh my compy...

    I searched for an artist, then i drilled down for an album i liked, then the tracks of that album are displayed, and if you click in one of them, a snippet of the lyrics appears, along with the lyrics link(s).

    Ok. I know i'm going to get bashed for this one... but what the hell... my mom told me to always ask something you don't know (And to RTFM too). So...

    What is the editor the guy in the Ruby on rails uses in his screencasts?

  9. Re:Coolness on Google Launches Google Music · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Not directly, but you know how it is.

    They will say that Google is facilitating copyright infringement by providing those links.

    I just tested and it really is very easy to find the lyrics (well.. easier than before. :)).

  11. Re:Office Olympics on Join IT Support For Abuse and Despair · · Score: 1

    That's so true. There is nothing like relaxing with old unused coasters.

    My coworker and I used to use them as freesbes. The office was long enough to allow us to have up to 5 cds in the air at the same time!!! (Of course, after a lot of 'training')
    We joked about gettint in the freesbe olympics...

    But then a new coworker showed in, and he was left-handed and.. well... we couldn't qualify. :(

  13. Ah, memories on Windows 95 Turns 10 · · Score: 1


    I remember this. I was dubious whether to upgrade or not.
    I used to start the upgrade process from within Win 3.1, and each day I advanced one more page of the wizard...

    I remember reading somewhere "Life starts at 95"...

  14. Re:What's this going to do? on Heliodisplay In Production · · Score: 1


    Remember the movie "The 6th day"?

    One of the fellas had an holografic mate and he could seat in a special chair with electrodes or sensors to stimulate his brain, with the holografic chick "seated" above him...

  15. Re:Thats cool but.. on Project Offset FPS Amazes · · Score: 1

    I think is modded insightful because the point of the post is that visuals aren't everything, but the gameplay and the general feeling that you are gamimg, that you are doing something, that you are part of the action, not just simply espectating...

  16. Well.. on Best Language for Beginner Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Ruby on Rails is not exactly just a programming languaje, but a language and a framework...

    Kinda like .NET is to VB or C# right? RIGHT?!

    I sense a war regarding this topic... (The article, I mean)

  18. I don't understand... on Drawing Minorities Into Gaming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why is it always about stressing the diferences in skin color? or sex of religion or anything else?

    No offense intended, but, man, let it be...
    Let the ones who want to play play... and the ones who don't, don't... Why is that bad?

  22. Re:Errrr on Poor Man's Kinesis Keyboard: The K'nexis Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Actually no.

    Wrist-rests are for when you are NOT typing.

    You should keep your wrists on the air, not resting while you're typing.
    It may seem unconfortable at first, and many many many people believes this is the natural position for typing, but is not. And oooooohhhhh the pain comes later.

  23. Finally! on OpenID - Open Source Single-SignOn · · Score: 1

  25. Re:maybe soon... on Microsoft Finalizes Its Desktop Search Software · · Score: 1, Insightful

    But Microsoft has a history of always having to catchup right?

    I mean, Microsoft is not a great leader, but a great follower, and then it crushes it's competition with it's monopolistic practices.

    What chance really does have GDS and the others, if MS integrates this into the OS?
    Most of the folks use the things because they are already there.

    Most of my friends use Windows Media Player because it's already there, IE because it's already there, and don't bother looking around because the're used to them, even if the features they have are not great or even insecure.

    Why spend 5 minutes opening IE (It's already there, remember?), browse to www.getfirefox.com, wait for the installable to download and *then* start browsing?
    They don't care it's more "secure", nor want to wait the download.

    It even happened to me. I was an avid ICQ user, and once, just once, tried messenger because i was on dialup and didn't want to download ICQ. Now, i don't use ICQ anymore, but messenger. Damn it. And I like it.

    So, even if a piece of program has nice features, and *it's free* (thats important), how can it compete if the average user don't care about the "niceness" of it?

    Fiu.
