  1. Re:It should be noted that..... on Apple Unveils New Pro Products · · Score: 1

    I'm suprised they're still soldering on 256M of RAM as well. That means I can upgrade my new iBook(1.5G) beyond what the new Powerbook is capable of(1.25G).

  2. Re:My reasons on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    Consider yourself proven wrong.

  3. Re:Crahes...alot on Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Maybe you're missing the ' key and hitting the / key instead, which brings up find "the unix way"?

  4. Re:Movie Theaters are Obsolete on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    But as Wal-Mart sells more and more boxed surround sound and starts getting HDTV off the ground, joe average is going to start liking his home better than the multiplex

    Excellent! Once joe average has gone back home, I will be able to enjoy going to the theatres again.

  5. Re:Do they have legal access to the BeOS source co on Ars Technica on Zeta 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't they have been sued by now by the legal owners of the code (Palm?) if they did not have access to it?

  6. Re:T-Mobile's the last frontier on Hacking the Motorola v265 · · Score: 1

    I don't understand a lot of Verizon customers. Verizon's only major advantage is a coverage area that's a little better than most carrier

    Its a telephone. Its primary function is to make phone calls. Why would you not go with the service that, by your own admission is the best at that?

  7. Re:Never write off Microsoft... on Gates on Google · · Score: 1

    I switched to IE because Netscape had this crappy 'feature' of reloading the entire page whenever the windows was resized

    This was my reason for switching as well. I also have to live with the knowledge that I convenced several of my friends to switch to IE for this reason as well. I still remember the conversation,
    "Hey man. I have some bad news." looking guilty and somber as hell.
    "What?!?"
    "I switched to IE..."
    I don't feel nearly as bad since AOL bought Netscape. I've also switched far more friends from IE to Firefox than I switched from Netscape to IE.

  8. Re:Mod me down if you must, but I have to know... on Looking Ahead to Tiger, Powerbook G5s · · Score: 1

    The article refers to Tiger as a 64 bit system. The G4 is a 32 bit Processor...no?

  9. Re:The problem with human space travel on Jeff Bezos to Build Space Center · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would love to sit in a five star restaraunt in geostationary orbit with a view of the Earth out the window.

  10. Re:I call BS... on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    The great thing about "The Twenty" is the layers of ads invoilved. First you have the primary ads, usually for a sitcom or a music video or sometimes a mini behind the scenes making of for a movie. Then you have the ads for the primary ads. "Comming up on the Twenty, See how the writers for Van Helsing come up with blah blah blah..." Then they take you into the third level of ads which is the more standard Powerpoint type ads for the local Chevy or Ford dealer, which they treat as a commercial break from "The Twenty" My favorite of course is the reminder at the end of "The Twenty" letting me know that if I missed any of these craptacular ads I should show up sooner. and the final ad. "This edition of the Twenty has been brought to you on Christy Digital Projectors"

  11. Re:Uhmm.... on Peer Impact Signs 3 Major Record Labels · · Score: 1

    How does it work? Is this that stupid thing I read about a while ago where you're actually just sharing links to music rather than the music itself? In other words, it's just like publishing your playlist somewhere and then linking to some music publisher's store?

    And if not will I be compensated for donating my disk space and bandwidth so you can peddle your warez?

  12. Re:This happened to me last night on Steam Registration Servers Overloaded · · Score: 5, Informative

    What if I don't have the Internet? What if I want to play on a lan that doesn't have Internet access?

    I guess you'll learn to read the System Requirements next time:

    Minimum System Configuration
    * 1.2 GHz Processor
    * 256MB RAM
    * DirectX 7 capable graphics card
    * Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
    * Mouse
    * Keyboard
    * Internet Connection

  13. Prior Art? on Museum of the Future · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The question is, can exhibits from the Museum of the Future be used as prior art in patent requests.

  14. Re:Hiding Data on Windows Forensics and Incident Recovery · · Score: 1

    "Load the first image, apply the logical and operation with the number 3 to the image, and make the image 85 times brighter, and you get the second image."

    Has anyone tried the example in the link? I'm not sure what is meant by the bolded statement in the quote from the Wikipedia article.

  15. Re:This immediately brought to mind Pascal's Wager on Matrix Decision Making · · Score: 1

    Interesting. Where is the matrix to choose which religions god to wager for?

  16. Re:8 Hours?? on Yet Another Degrading DVD · · Score: 1

    Somehow I doubt they would put more than 8 hours worth of content on a disk that degrades in 8 hours.

  17. Re:They're not worthy... on X.Org Foundation Releases X11R6.7 X Window System · · Score: 2, Funny

    They're noteworthy, and don't call me Shirley!

  18. Re:Godwin's Law identifies the problem on Ask Mike Godwin About Internet Law · · Score: 1

    Usually it's the people trying to make the comparison who trivialize the evil

    That's because of Sturgeon's Law :) I'm afraid of the 10% of comparisons that may be legitimate getting ignored.

  19. Dangerous on Ask Mike Godwin About Internet Law · · Score: 1

    Do you think there could be any danger associated with Godwin' law due to the fact that it trivializes comparisons to Nazi's/Hitler? Is it possible that legitimate comparisons to Nazi Germany could be laughed off or trivialized due to your law?

  20. Re:Hopefully eventually on FreeBSD Based Live CDs · · Score: 5, Informative

    the guys over at unixpunxhave a distrib that fits on a mini CD

  21. Laughing in the Face of Death on More on IBM 75GXP Drive Fiasco · · Score: 1

    I've been running with 2 75GXP drives in a RAID 0(!) configuration nearly 24x7 for 3-4 years now (I bought the disks soon after they came out) and I've never had a problem. I recently broke the mirror, but both disks are still running strong.

  22. Re:a good start, indeed on Two Blanks Against the Trend · · Score: 1

    Go-Kart Records have released a compilation this way. I know its not the same as an artist releasing a full length cd in mp3 format, but it is a start.

  23. Re:shooting themselves in the foot on Xbox 2 - The Price of Compatibility? · · Score: 1

    I did a little searching to answer my own question, and discovered the following.
    Check out 2E.

  24. Re:shooting themselves in the foot on Xbox 2 - The Price of Compatibility? · · Score: 1

    Wasn't the GameBoy _foreward_ compatable with GameBoy Color carts? I can't remember for certain.

  25. Re:Lets shorten things a little.. on Freedesktop.org on KDE/Gnome, New Goals · · Score: 1

    I thought this looked pretty neat. Until I was looking through the screenshots... And there is a registry editor clone. Why the hell would a Linux box need a registry editor? Am I missing something or is this just a well constructed hoax?
