  1. Re:bring back shatner! on TrekUnited Reports Mission Successful at Trek Rallies · · Score: 1

    I think...that you have...a...great idea...here...Mr. Shrewd...

  2. Re:Girl Band! on The First Image Published on the Web · · Score: 2, Funny

    That would be helpful in getting their phonon number. Oh wait, it's 0...

  3. Re:Does this fix some new types of pop-ups? on Firefox 1.0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    No pop-ups at all for me, using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041209 Firefox/1.0, which is vanilla Firefox 1.0.

  4. Re:Walk like a human? on One Giant Step for Humanoids · · Score: 1

    What if their skin is gold, their eyes gold, and they like to pretend to be Sherlock Holmes?

  5. Re:Also on Browser Speed Comparisons · · Score: 1

    Save a step. Just middle click it. Saves a right click... But still, I must admit that Opera's back button thingy is very useful. It is the reason I would switch to Opera from Firefox. Alas, I love Firefox too much for that...

  6. Re:Wear & Tear on Strategy Shift In The Air For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    As were/are the IBM Model M keyboards produced in the 80s and early 90s. I'm typing on one right now dated January 1989. 16 years old, and it works exactly as it did when it was brand new. I think those Model M's are evidence of what good hardware engineering can produce.

  7. Re:Its a dupe on A Look Into The Cell Architecture · · Score: 1

    Dupe comes from the word duplicate, not dual.

  8. Re:Well this is a big poke in the eye... on ESPN And Electronic Arts Sign 15-Year Deal · · Score: 1

    I can tell you one thing: either ESPN or ABC would have a major problem if a football game had Madden announcing and ESPN stamped all over the place. Probably both. For all other sports, as long as the commentators are ESPN's, I would forsee no problem, but I do not think that we'll see an ESPN-branded Madden.

  9. Re:not exactly fair to older systems on Comparative CPU Benchmarks From 1995 to 2004 · · Score: 1

    nForce 4 motherboards are out. I backordered the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe on Sunday, and the site I ordered it from says "In Stock" for it now. I assume it'll ship soon. Unlike you, I'm upgrading a 2.4 GHz P4 system. :-P

    The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane?

  11. Re:Everything old is new again? on NVIDIA 6200 w/ TurboCache Released · · Score: 1

    Of course it's all about the money. Since when is anything that companies do NOT about money?

  12. Re:H2SA kicks ass on Excel - The Ultimate Halo 2 Accessory · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or you could just get a copy of OpenOffice and have the ability to track your stats AND open other Excel files as well. Not to mention Word and Powerpoint.

  13. Re:18? 17... on ID Required to Purchase Games · · Score: 1

    The ESRB's M rating is for ages 17 and over, they say, and GTA:SA is rated M.

    Um, you're a bit...off, there...look up the definition of "sic", mmkay? And then tell me if the idiots or the author of the article wrote it.

  15. Re:Note to Gamers: Don't Feel Insulted on SimCity Trains Bad Urban Planners · · Score: 1

    I don't believe anyone has ever claimed that SimCity is an accurate city planning tool. No more than Grand Theft Auto is an accurate driving simulation.

  17. Re:For universal speed-limit enforcement! on Road Marker Marks You · · Score: 1

    tongue-in-cheek
    adj.

    Meant or expressed ironically or facetiously.

  18. Re:For universal speed-limit enforcement! on Road Marker Marks You · · Score: 1

    You kidding me? Once everybody starts to get speeding tickets, the municipalities in which the things are located will think they're the greatest things since sliced bread. Think of all the income they'd be getting! They could then use that income to put in more speed-control devices, thus bringing in even more money. Eventually, everyone will be paying 100% of their income to the government in the form of speeding tickets. It's a terribly vicious cycle. But look on the bright side! No taxes.

  19. An aging world population? on Pearl, a Robot for the Elderly · · Score: 3, Funny

    "The world population is rapidly aging"

    I think each person ages at an average rate of 1 year per year...so yes, technically, that is true.

  20. Re:Who actually pays? on Is Windows Worth $45? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because it runs Microsoft office?

    Why would I want to pay for that inferior, insecure product when I can get OpenOffice (which also runs on Windows) for free?

  21. Sim City on Neat Stuff In Sin City: CES 2004 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Anyone else read the headline as "Sim City" rather than "Sin City"?

    Oh my god, a typo! The world is coming to an end, and anything the submitter wrote is hereby proven false!

  23. Re:Me first on Gator Forces Site To Remove 'Spyware' Label · · Score: 1

    Alexa made my old Toshiba PII-266 unusable. Not that it was very usable in the first place...but it made it worse. And it takes a lot to make a 7-year-old WinME system worse than it already is. IE refused to load...My Computer refused to load...thing crashed every seven seconds...and then came Alexa.

  24. True... on Bill Gates: Windows Patched Faster than Linux · · Score: 1

    Windows bugs are patched faster. Microsoft has a whole team out working on this stuff. What is not mentioned is the fact that there are so many more bugs in Windows than in Linux anyway. I won't give Microsoft much, but they do do a lot of patching. Problem is, this patching should not even be necessary: Microsoft should test their OSs more thoroughly and anticipate these problems before shipping their product. Open source is the easiest way to do this, via open source beta versions. Hence, Linux has fewer bugs on Final release day.
