  1. Re:Lamest rebranding on Comcast In Deal Talks With NBC Universal · · Score: 1

    The backstage goings on may be but what you see on stage is 100% pure SPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Anything would be an improvement... on Heart Monitors In Middle School Gym Class? · · Score: 1

    in the process of keeping kids healthy during school hours and during sporting events, especially in light of what recently happened in Louisville, KY. Max Gilpin was killed when his coach, Jason Stinson, wouldn't allow the team to have any water breaks nor keep track of the team's vital signs.

  3. Re:Safari on Chrome 4.0 Vs. Opera 10 Vs. Firefox 3.5 · · Score: 1

    Nah, looks like LifeHacker is just using this opportunity to diss other WebKit-based browsers what are not Chrome (think Chromium, Safari, Midori here).

  4. Re:As Someone Who Has to Support IE6 at Work ... on Internet Explorer 6 Will Not Die · · Score: 1

    It's not quite that easy.

    We're forced to use IE6 at work - Mainly because IT understands the security risks (significant, but understood) and their web-apps are written to support it. Upgrading is too expensive expensive right now - Especially when the suits realize that we'll have to do it again later. Think of the brake-recall equation from Fight Club - The result is tragic, but real-world rather than ideal. So, IE6 endures...

    Yeah, no kidding! So because of being tied to IE6 at work, I have to use Google Reader instead of Feedly (which is much better) to read my RSS feeds. It makes me wish I had a netbook.

  5. Re:Solution: Block Slashdot on McDonalds Free Wi-Fi Users Soak Up Seating · · Score: 1

    and some of these McD's have television in them nowadays, especially the ones on/near busy thoroughfares. Some other locations have even tried putting in lounge chairs where you can sit and enjoy your coffee. Hell! Why not turn these into hotels, not that I oblige any of this.

  6. Re:"simply by showing it to them" on Mobile Wi-Fi Hot Spot · · Score: 1

    Well duh, everybody knows that one. Geez!

  7. Re:Starting to pack my things... on Cablevision To Offer 101 Mbps Down, No Caps · · Score: 1

    Cablevision is headquartered in and serves suburban NYC.

  8. Re:It looks hideous on First Impressions of the Neuros Link · · Score: 1

    They're boxee also, get it? Yeah it'd be nice to get boxee running on this sucker. It'd make Apple TV look like a MacMini on crack.

  9. Re:So? on Internet Killed the Satellite Radio Star · · Score: 1

    Because they spend too much time reading the Wall Street Journal and watching CNBC. Just a thought.

  10. Re:Ding, ding, ding on AT&T Sidestepping Google, Eyes Symbian · · Score: 1

    and for that matter it seems logical for Google to make Android available on more smart phones in the US (in addition to the G1 that is). So why not start with the iPhone?

  11. Re:Duplicity: theres already a "utility parition" on New Xbox Experience Goes Live · · Score: 1

    So did I with Madden 09. The game copies to the HD rather quickly, twelve minutes in this case.

  12. Re:Looks interesting on Mozilla Launches Snowl Messaging Prototype · · Score: 1

    Feedly integrates with Google Reader and was specifically made for Firefox. Quite nice.

  13. Re:YouTube on Ogg Theora In Firefox, With Wikimedia Support · · Score: 1

    You can already do that with Orbit, best Windows app there is for that kinda' thing. Not sure what's out there on the Mac or on Linux for doing stuff like that though.

  14. Usenet still accessible via Google Groups on R.I.P Usenet: 1980-2008 · · Score: 1

    although they warn against it by making mention of the spam you always get when you read/send messages on Usenet. Doesn't bother me any.

  15. re: Liquid Lakes On Saturn's Moon Confirmed on Liquid Lakes On Saturn's Moon Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Somebody needs to tell Boon Pickens about this one. Great source of motor fuel if we ever need it.

  16. Hope it's nothing like... on New Linux Distribution — Exherbo, Announced · · Score: 1

    Sabayon. That's gotta' be one of the worst mashups of a Gentoo-based Linux distro I've ever seen. I know Sabayon was supposed to be a gaming-oriented distro, but did they have to uglify it and bloat it the way they did?

  17. Re:I wonder why Tivo ignored the flag on Microsoft Acknowledges NBC's Wish is Its Command · · Score: 1

    Maybe a surprise test of the system as directed by NBC-Universal. Tivo and its brethren must think that they don't have to do this because they're non-PC hardware makers.

  18. Re:why CentOS? on Linux Desktop Distro Shootout · · Score: 1

    It's Fedora's wicked sister. Bleh!!

  19. Re:I don't want cell phones on planes. on FCC, FAA Still Don't Want Cell Phones on Planes · · Score: 1

    Well isn't it obvious that the airlines would eventually have to follow Amtrak's lead, by putting a 'quiet room' somewhere on the aircraft like Amtrak does on its trains? I know this might not work except on a larger aircraft such as a 787 or an A380, but it's just a thought.

  20. Re:Welcome to the Dark Ages on FCC Says Analog TV Lives Until 2012 · · Score: 1

    ...and for the less fortunate, the old stuff is easier to afford. Electronics manufacturers and retailers would rather shoot themselves in the head before lowering the prices on ATSC-compliant TVs 30" or larger. It looks like the wave of the future is going to be small to mid-size SDTVs or EDTVs.

  21. What August news vacuum? on Mac OS X Leopard is Now Officially Unix · · Score: 1

    I knew that OSX Leopard was Unix all the time. Good Grief!

  22. Re:Excellent! Just one more thing... on Safari 3 Beta Updated, Security Problems Fixed · · Score: 0

    Well I'm sure a Linux version of Safari would be made available in short order since OS10 is Unix based in the first place. Ubuntu with Safari bundled into it would rock.

  23. Re:Then they should call it... on Windows-Based iPhone Rival for Business Users · · Score: 1

    That'd more than likely raise the ire of Mr Softee and his legal eagles. Besides, the Zune Phone (if it ever shows up) will be more entertainment-centric, as will be the iPhone.

  24. Re:Try myself on Windows Media Center Restricts Cable TV · · Score: 1

    4) Use a hardware DVR (outside your Tivo, thinking multi-function camcorder or one of Archos' portable DVRs here) and then dump the stuff into your PC afterwards. I have one of Aiptek's multi-function camcorders. It does a nice job of recording but it uses the ASF format for doing so and a half-hour show takes up just over 600mb of space. Oh well, better than nothing.

  25. Re:That's nice on Last.fm Plans Custom Music Video Channels · · Score: 1

    ...but their many offspring on digital cable do.
