  1. Re:Stay away from my daughters Duke on Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold · · Score: 2

    And remember to put them back in the purse so she doesn't notice!

  2. Re:Slashdotted on The Backstory of the Kaminsky Bug · · Score: 1

    But you can take over the whitelist also, I mean the extension does update over the INTERNET using DNS names!

  3. Re:Look at the "wedding" section in the magazines on Any Suggestions For a Meaningful Geeky Wedding Band? · · Score: 1

    The assumption here is that her mother is not an average girl?

    Flash -> Silverlight

    I think you have something wrong there... Let me fix that...

    (M$) Silverlight -> (Adobe) AIR

  5. Re:Ignores possibility of the Singularity on Why Life On Mars May Foretell Our Doom · · Score: 1

    Just because it is is expensive for people (Humans, mammals) to stay alive in space does not make it equally as expensive for other races and their genetics to survive in space.

  6. Re:Then you had better lower those prices! on Sony Thinks Blu-ray Will Sell Like DVDs by Year End · · Score: 1

    Not only all the points above but is Sony aware of the recession we are in? Do they think that DVD's will continue to thrive at this rate? I know a lot of people that are not able to spend as much as they were able to 6 months ago and in 6 more months they will be able to spend even less.

  7. Re:Helped me at work on Wireshark 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Or you could just buy the software :p

  8. Re:Who are these people? on World of Warcraft Hits 9.3 Million Players · · Score: 1

    You haven't played or haven't payed?

    Wow you 110% missed the point of his comment and you got +Informative...

  10. Re:I'd say... on Close but no Cigar for Netflix Recommender System · · Score: 1

    You don't need to explicitly say this to get the data. Movies have a lot of information in them. You can tell which actors are in it, the plot, and the genre. If you make two selections and they both have Bruce Willis in it you can assume that you like Bruce Willis. You do not need to ask these questions of the user.

  11. Re:So? Can't he use a Windows box to route? on Pirate Banned From Using Linux · · Score: 1

    Um, They can really punish him by making him * try* to run windows ME.
    That is taking it a bit far. With the current horsepower of Vista boxes, we might actually have boxes that could run ME!

    Any one tried this yet?!
  12. Re:Uh.. on Vertical Farming · · Score: 1

    Mirrors?

  13. Re:The Proof Is In The Pudding: Open Source Direct on MS No Cathedral, Open Source No Bazaar? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    2003? This is 2007 and that is a lot of time to change your game...

  14. Re:I don't see the big deal here on Blizzard Exposes Detailed WoW Character Data · · Score: 1

    You do know that people can build UI's and by using other data on the internet display this information. Brings up some interesting possibilities.

  15. Re:Making Symlinks in GUI? on Inside the Windows Vista Kernel · · Score: 1

    If it is a command prompt execution. And you know any thing about the registry. Then I am sure you can add it in there and be on your merry way.

  16. BlackBox for Windows? on Virtual Desktops on Windows? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I currently use bbLean. It has not been updated in awhile but it is reliable.

  17. Re:I prefer Mozilla, not Firefox on Firefox Usage Climbing · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ctrl-Scroll Wheel

    I find that rather easy... How is that to awkward?

  18. Re:About CSS2... on Interview with IE Lead Program Manager · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    For that matter, why aren't we (as a community) grilling Firefox for their lack of standards compatibility?

    Why don't you stop complaining about it and go write some code for it.

  19. Re:Some things that will help on How Nintendo Could Win It All · · Score: 1

    1. DVD player...
    It is not going to have HD capabilities. Most people will not use it for a DVD player even with the 30$ upgrade.

  20. Re:Quick test on Windows Live Search goes Live · · Score: 1

    First sentence: Considering Live was just released the discrepancy isn't hard to understand.
    Next sentence: What was interesting was what the first result was.

    How is the first result interesting? Goolge is basing their prediction off 1000 times more data based on your own test, therefore they have different results. That is really intresting. Zzzzzzz.

  21. Re:Gracias on MPAA Files Lawsuits Targeting Major Torrent Sites · · Score: 1

    Or how about the " *phew* my favorite is not on that list ;)"

  23. Re:Jeez, the skillz kids are gonna need... on U.S. Government Wants Google Search Records · · Score: 1

    I don't have any mod points but I did want to say this is hilarious!

    Can you really trust any studies that show up on TV or the newspaper anymore? Pr0n, weed, videogames, global warming, indooor pollution, and everything else under the sun are GOING TO KILL YOU or MAKE YOU KILL OTHERS. Jesus H. Christ! (as if people haven't killed in His name...) 40 years ago scientists were worried of global cooling. The Earth has naturally warmed and cooled many times in the past - and things died, but that's nature. We're still alive. Today's youth are, according to the FBI - the least violent generation in American history, maybe, maybe, because they are inside playing videogames? Oh, and now masturbation may prevent prostate cancer - that's what I call wanking now, cancer prevention. I really just wished people weren't so ready to believe _everything_ the media, a Nigerian email, or a politician (all parties, Libertarians too) tells them to. There's a reason what you watch on TV is called programming...

  24. The only level 150 to ever play the game... on The Final Moments of Asheron's Call 2 · · Score: 1

    I knew at the time when I was all of a sudden catapulted to level 150 (Due to a bug in the game) that I would be the one and only player to ever hit that level. My name was Serla on the PvP server. And what a day it was when I hit that level. Every one on the server tried ganging up and killing me. Which was probably more eventful then this lame ending!

  25. Re:Right thing... wrong reasons. on FCC Report Supports a la Carte TV Pricing · · Score: 1

    This is my everyday life. I do not eat salad dressings or condiments. I should be able to remove 1$-2$'s off every thing I eat. It would be great!
