  1. Re:Damn Microsoft! on Mac OS X Intel Kernel Uses DRM · · Score: 1

    umm you can play movies fullscreen for free in DVD Player on OS X.

  2. Re:Very bad in a printing accident. on World's Fastest Inkjet Printer? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah. I heard that cars which go more than 5 mph may be bad when people accidently crash into each other. I think all cars with a max speed of more than 5 mph should be taken off the road since people have accidents.

  4. Re:Plethora? on Interview with the Creator of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    When I asked him about BitTorrent, he said he was sick of talking about it so i think, at least in his opinion, that there is a harmful excess of information ;)

  5. Re:Teh Slashdot Syndrome on Interview with the Creator of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Yes. I've been very happy with Underdog's service. I am amazed that they have been able to keep my site up as long as they have. The site was down for only a very short amount of time! Thanks!

    Yeah and Slashdot was down with a 503 error yesterday for quite a while. But seriously, Google shouldn't allow this to happen.

    I guess this is survival of the fittest. This time opendarwin is becoming extinct. God, I love Darwin.

  9. Gentoo? on Terra Soft Releases 64-bit Yellow Dog Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Gentoo has had 64bit support for PPC for what, a couple of months now? Isn't yellow dog only focused on PPC? Why does it take them this long? Do they just not have the manpower? This isn't a troll, just an honest question.

  10. Ever thought about operation cost?? on Health Consequences of CRT Monitors? · · Score: 1

    many government offices switched to the much more expensive LCD's - despite budget cuts and having to go with the lowest bidder strategy they operate under. Was this ONLY for style and space savings?

    They cost less in the end because they are so more energy efficient. This will save money in the end because of the drop in power consumption and thus power bills. When you have about 500 lcd monitors they are probably going to use less energy than 250 CRTs.

  11. Re:the 'good enough' argument on Java Fallout: OO.o 2.0 and the FOSS Community · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember moveable type being free. Once they started charging for it, everyone was in trouble and had to migrate to wordpress. You'd think people would have learned their lesson from that, but no.
