  1. Re:MS Vista on The Netscaping of Symantec and McAfee · · Score: 1

    Sure, they can do whatever they want with their product, but only for restricted values of 'whatever'. Specifically, changes that would use a monopoly position to wipe out competition in the market are restricted. I'm not sure if that's the case here though, sounds more like whining.

  2. Re:What's so bad about that quote? on Finger Pointing Over iPod Windows Virus · · Score: 1
    Nonetheless, it seems that you are ignoring the fact that the simple action of connecting a MP3 player into a computer running windows is security problem.
    No I'm not. If that's a security problem, then it becomes Apple's security problem when they use that functionality. Why do they use insecure practices?


    It's all well and nice to bash Microsoft and despise them, I spit on their mother's grave every tuesday myself. But come on now, show some restraint!

  3. Re:What's so bad about that quote? on Finger Pointing Over iPod Windows Virus · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Bullshit. Microsoft has got nothing to do with this. Nothing! What matters is that malware found its way onto the iPods during production. It doesn't matter what the malware was, what purpose it had, or for what platform it was designed.

    Putting Microsoft in the spotlight is shoehorning at best, and criminally hypocritical spin at worst, IMHO.

    You might want to try a pair of good in-ear plugs, like Etymotic.

  5. Re:Google wins on Google or Wikipedia - Which is Your First Stop? · · Score: 1

    Why not use address bar shortcuts? I have "g [search terms]" for Google, "w [search]" for Wikipedia, and "iso [search]" for isoHunt. Does anyone need anything else?

  6. Re:Epitome of Shallowness on How Animatronic Clothes Work · · Score: 1

    Which part is shallow?

  7. Re:So, like, that's good? on YouTube Removed 30,000 Japanese Videos from Site · · Score: 1

    Hm, the article mentioned television in addition to music videos, but I guess it's mostly music videos. The popular videos can be had from torrent trackers, though.

  8. Re:I got a masters in Aerospace on How Warcraft Doesn't Have To Wreck Lives · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It could partially be a problem with the game, if it requires excessive amounts of time to be amusing enough for the majority of players.

  9. Re:Simple on How Warcraft Doesn't Have To Wreck Lives · · Score: 1

    Even if you play it, it's still too simple to ruin your life. Now, Warcraft II on the other hand ...

    ..and everyone who's interested in/studying Japanese. I for one do not welcome this news.

    Ooh, sounds good! Where can I register?
  15. Re:Solar arrays can't handle rocket fires??? on Space Station Gyro Problem Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    Actually, that sounds complicated. How do you disconnect from the previous point when you're already at the next point, tying yourself in? Without wasting time going back and forth, that is.

    What, you'll buy a PS3 just to camp in the Wii launch line?

    Indeed. Conversely, image data can be embedded into HTML.

  21. Re:Of course they don't on North Korea Air Sample Shows Radiation · · Score: 1

    The fertilizer theory is interesting, there's some speculation that the Ryongcheon disaster was because of an exploding cargo of fertilizer, so they would have experience with the power of this stuff. Although the latest news point towards nuclear, but they might have just put some radioactive material in the mix for good measure.

    He's saying high-resolution images and text. Probably sweeps the pen over the paper and rattles it like a dot-matrix printer. Good god, what a diligent note-taker!
