  1. Re:This may sound crazy, but M$ would likely gain. on Microsoft Source Follow-Up · · Score: 1, Informative

    Longhorn is 6.0.

  2. Re:Swearing? on Microsoft Source Follow-Up · · Score: 0
    M$ Programmer: Well, nobody's going to read this anyway, so "\\f*ck this bullsh*t"

    I don't get it... Why would someone name their computer f*ck this bullsh*t?
    I don't even think * is a valid character for a computer name...

    What's that? Oh, you meant that as a comment?
    //Well, nice going there genius.

  3. Re:Videotron on Canadian Recording Industry Goes After P2P Users · · Score: 0

    Hey I have a question for you:
    When was the last time your remember Quebec surrendered?

    Stop searching I have the answer: never.
    You may think we speak french (in truth you can't really say it's french, it's really "quebecois"), but that doesn't mean we venerate Shirak and De Gaulles.
    Get your flamebaits straight at least.

  4. Re:ISPs are in a sticky position on Canadian Recording Industry Goes After P2P Users · · Score: 0

    If you knew Videotron you would also know that they have the power (and money) to do pretty much anything they want here in Quebec. They are the only real High-Speed provider in 90% of the territory (there's Bell which offers DSL, but it's sucky and way too slow... (I know I work for them)). They also have the monopoly over cable TV. PR? Screw it. I don't like them but I'm stuck with them, and so is everyone else here.

  5. My Doom... on MyDoom.C Making Its Way Across The Net · · Score: 0

    My Doom was the day I installed Windows.
    Blessed be thy name, M. Gates!

    If, for your personal reasons, you are waiting to get married or whatever, then head over to ThinkGeek.
    Damn I was sure I had figured out the end of that sentence until I read "over to ThinkGeek".
    Kind of disappointing too.
  7. Re:What About Insurance? on Warp Records Reject DRM, Go Bleep · · Score: 0
    Well since there isn't any form of DRM, it's your chance to BACK THE WHOLE THING UP...

  8. Old news... on Piezoelectric Transformers · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Big deal. I've had these Starcom toys for years with no batteries or adapters.

    Only question I haven't yet answered is... could they run Linux?

  9. Re:Two conspiracy theory leaps on White House Website Limits Iraq-Related Crawling · · Score: 1

    Following the same logic, it also appears they're trying to do something fishy regarding text info.
    I wonder...

  10. Re:Not a suprise on White House Website Limits Iraq-Related Crawling · · Score: 1

    Nice to see that even back in 1998 they placed their 2002 and 2003 folders under a history folder...
    And here I was thinking history was just for the past.

  11. Re:IE changes on More Looks At Far-Off 'Longhorn' · · Score: 1

    Actually it's probably the other way around... You'll HAVE to use IE if you have Longhorn (ala if(!strstr($_SERVER['http_user_agent'], "MSIE")) exit(0);)

    Ah well I'll just get a K9 cpu when Longhorn comes out so I can alt+tab my way into Linux if I want to use Mozilla...

    I think by "upgrading his computer hard disk" he meant "making more room on it" (aka formating).

  14. Re:Popcorn! on Matrix Revolutions To Be Released On Imax · · Score: 1
    Probably a while given the cost difference between 70mm film and video nowadays.

    That's probably why IMAX theatres can't afford to let go their popcorn at only 10$.

  15. Re:Not quite, read the rest: on Microsoft Confirms IE Changes in Wake of Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or is all of that easily bypassed by having the same old object (still fetching external data source) print with DHTML on the page? That's what I get from the bottom of the MSDN page...

  16. Re:I-Mark pens are nice... on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 1

    Actually less friction, not more inertia... I'm a geek in training.

  17. Bad pics on New Nano-ITX 12cm Motherboards · · Score: 1

    Anybody else think mini-itx should give Stuart (pic provider) a new digital camera as a thank you gift? Man those are lame...

  18. Re:Inkjet + cell phone == problems? on Nokia Shows Off Phone with Printable Faceplate · · Score: 1

    Well... non-conductive inks... although have not heard anything specific to that matter, I would bet any dye ink would be conductive as they are made out of 80% or more water... the solution would then be pigment ink, kind of a paradox since you would probably want to make nice photo printouts for covers, and almost all photo printers use dye... ah well. Nice idea... next?!

    Keys are for non-nerds... Small, unclickable keys are to thank for voice operated phones...

  20. Re:Inkjet + cell phone == problems? on Nokia Shows Off Phone with Printable Faceplate · · Score: 1

    Well I guess that's just a matter of paper/ink quality... Epson, HP and Canon all have waterproof ink now if you use decent paper, and printouts should last longer than the phone with pigment ink... hell even dye lasts longer than a phone considering in 2 years it'll be outdated and dull. Again, Nokia is allowing users to freely modify covers, if the user makes a crappy printout and whines cause it's not lasting long enough, then what he needs isn't a new phone, it's a new printer.
