    WTF? I didn't expect positive moderation, but Troll?!

    Be responsible, don't drink and moderate.

    The upcoming Windows XP Service Pack 2 could break some 'unsecure applications'.

    Are we talking about Windows XP SP1?

    I think Hotmail.com should be prosecuted for diverting traffic off of Hotmale.com. Some kids expecting gay pr0n might be offended by the usual "Enlarge your penis".

  6. Longhorn due when?! on Microsoft Plans WinXP "Reloaded" · · Score: 1
    However, Directions on Microsoft analyst Rob Helm said that any new version of Windows is likely to slow Longhorn's arrival.


    Hum, yeah now I get it. They were running out of "good" reasons to postpone Longhorn. They're saying 2020 now, and looks like they hired Barbara Walters as their spokeswoman for the campaign.

  9. Re:SG-1 and Jack on Stargate Atlantis Coming This Summer · · Score: 1
    Actually I do understand Russell was never likely to star in the series, if you read my previous post you'll see I get that from the start, and never expected it. The fact that I am deceived in this case means that I thought Russell did a hell of a job in the movie, and that the character in the series is friendlier than the cold Russell I loved in the movie. That's all.

    On another note, I do believe Connery was the best James Bond, and that Keaton was the best Batman (we're talking films, Adam West wasn't bad but man that series got old quick). John Hurt sucked in Lost in Space, Charlie's Angels... I'm not even gonna get into that one *shiver*.

    Basically, some people do improve (or at least stay at the same level) with TV spinoffs, but IMHO Stargate failed.

  11. Re:Lenses on Kodak Lagging in Digital World · · Score: 1

    Kodak started putting glass lenses in their digital cameras a year ago, and while not top-quality, I admit they're not as bad as their rounded plastic lenses.

    I know Zeiss and other german manufacturers make great lenses, but just because A is German and A is good, don't assume that if B is German, that B will also make good lenses.

    I'm not saying I was expecting to see him in a TV series, I'm saying there was no way for me to enjoy that character played by anyone else... Russell did a pretty good job of acting in the movie (and casting him was a great move).
    They made the TV series, obviously not willing to pay for Russell, and therefore I was deceived. Inevitable.

  17. Lenses on Kodak Lagging in Digital World · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've seen lenses superior to Kodak's in Cracker Jack boxes.
    As a digital camera salesman, I imagine I contribute to their bad imagine, but then again, I would feel remorse recommending any of their digital products to my customers...

    I tried giving them a chance last year by attending their special Digital Media Training last year in Montreal, and after 3 hours of talk all I'd learned was that digital Kodak technology still didn't come anywhere near film quality (both for video and photography).

    WTG Kodak.

    FBI warning for a boot screen. It does nothing to prevent copying except to give the cracker something else to write 'owned' on.

    For a sec there I thought you meant that you thought by putting the FBI warning at bootup, you could boost your Windows security by restricting duplication of any file contained on said filesystem...
    Worst part is, I thought it was a good idea.

    (How the fuck do you properly indent code in ./??)

    If "proper indentation" means 4 spaces to you, then "    " would be your solution.

    You're welcome.
