  1. Re:Battery life on Rio Karma 20GB Reviewed · · Score: 1

    You can get a replaceable battery for the iPod from here (it costs $50 and you have to install it yourself), or directly from Apple (it costs $99 but you aren't guaranteed that you'll get your own iPod back).

    Oh wait, what the hell am I thinking? That was something else. :(

    Brian: Hola! Um...me, me llamo es Brian. Ahh, uh, um lets see, uh, nosotros queremos ir con ustedes.
    Mexican: Hey, that was pretty good! But actually when you said, "Me llamo es Brian," you don't need the "es." Just, "Me llamo Brian."
    Brian{relieved}: Oh, you speak English!
    Mexican: No, just that first speech and this one explaining it.
    Brian{confused}: You...you're kidding right?
    Mexican: Que?


    It's funny, except it was stolen from Home Alone 1.

  4. Re:Can the results be trusted? on More on Virginia Tech G5 Cluster: 17.6 Tflops · · Score: 1

    If you order the g5 with 8 gigs of RAM, then it costs a lot more than 3,000 dollars.

  5. Re:Anything at Thinkgeek.com on Expensive Geek Toys Roundup · · Score: 1

    A bluetooth version would kill the battery very quickly.

  6. Re:Slippery riding platform on Build Your Own Segway · · Score: 1

    At first, I just stood directly on the aluminum plate. When I went through some wet grass and then I tipped the handle fairly far forward to accelerate, I nearly slid off and had it run over my heels. So you definitely need some grippy coating. I've ordered some grippy covering made for skateboards. For now, masking tape works surprisingly well.

  7. Re:Some machines ready for P5 on New Pentium 5 Details - 5-7ghz? · · Score: 1

    That is without a doubt, the most ridiculous site I've ever been to.

  8. Re:Operating System? on Drooling Over VA Tech's 1100-Node G5 Cluster · · Score: 1

    Some machines have 4 GBs of memory, and some have 8 GBs.

  9. Re:1100 * 16 = on Drooling Over VA Tech's 1100-Node G5 Cluster · · Score: 1

    Where do you get sixteen from? The G5 has nine fans.
    So 1100 * 9 = 9900

  10. Re:Yes. on Mac OS X 10.2.8 Available · · Score: 1

    Apple wanted to keep the update simple. Yes, an expert update mode would be nice, but what would happen if a novice user (or a lot of them) accidently messed something up? In this case, I don't think the costs outweigh the benefits.

  11. Other states legislating on California Tries Spam Ban · · Score: 1

    I hope that this law becomes a success and other states start legislating against spam. This could eventually lead to a major victory for the war on spam.

  12. Re:Yikes on PowerBook 15" and 12" Disassembly · · Score: 2, Informative

    The 15" TiBooks also have the hard drive under the trackpad, so I don't think it has been much of a problem.

  13. Re:4200 RPM HD?!? on New PowerBooks, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 1

    Also, the 4200 RPM hard drive uses less power than the 5400 RPM hard drive.

  14. Re:Hold the phone an inch away? on Drowning in a Sea of Microwaves · · Score: 1

    I meant your head would be safe.

  15. Re:Hold the phone an inch away? on Drowning in a Sea of Microwaves · · Score: 1

    That's not entirely correct. You would have to hold the phone 1-2 feet away for there to be little or no radiation.

  17. Re:good news!! on Sunday Newspapers, Now With CDs · · Score: 1

    Awhile ago, someone was selling a phonebook on a CD. I don't remember what happened to it. It seems like such a great idea.

    But anyways, I don't think this CD thing is such a good idea, if what everyone else says is true, that the CD doesn't really have anything of value on it, and it's not recyclable, then it's just gonna add to the waste that a newspaper does (a fair amount of people don't recycle newspapers).
