  1. Re:Teamviewer on Simple, Free Web Remote PC Control? · · Score: 1

    Another vote for TeamViewer - made my "extended support network" (family) much easier to manage.

  2. Smile, You're on Amish Camera! on Crowdsourcing Big Brother In Lancaster, PA · · Score: 1

    I work in Lancaster (off New Holland Ave) - I believe one of the cameras is mounted on my building - the lot it overlooks has random car window smash & grabs every couple months, due to the close proximity of a high school. There has been no discussion about the monitoring system at all as far as I can tell.

  3. Re:Dangerous Amish Gangs? on Crowdsourcing Big Brother In Lancaster, PA · · Score: 1

    The innards are Chinese - the wooden mantles are made at a couple different Amish and /or Mennonite places (in Ohio, not PA, I believe) - different Amish sects have varying views on the uses of technology - some are especially lenient with tool use.

  4. Re:Human Nature on How Comic Fans & Shops Are Stereotyped · · Score: 4, Funny

    Religion is not evil any more than a rock is evil.

    The greatest trick the evil rocks ever pulled was convincing the world they didn't exist.

    Thanks for the correction!

  7. Re:I really don't understand their digital format on Dr. Dobb's Journal Going Web-Only · · Score: 1

    Dr. Dobb's uses the Nxtbook format - a competitor of Zinio.

  9. Jay Pipes Moved Over to Drizzle Too... on David Axmark Resigns From Sun · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://www.jpipes.com/index.php?/archives/263-So-Long,-and-Thanks-for-all-the-Fish.html

    Interesting comment at the bottom (#11):

    "Glad to hear you'll be working full-time on Drizzle. Even if you didn't escape Sun.

    I can't imagine who would want to be a community manager under the current situation, though. Good luck to Giuseppe."

  10. "With Custom Dell Interface" on Dell Begins Selling Inspiron Mini 9 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Cue ominous music...

  11. Soft Scissors Research Paper & Movie on Microsoft Moves in on the Graphics Market · · Score: 4, Informative

  12. Apple Says Patent System is Like a Battery... on Broken Patent System? Google, Apple Disagree · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...it never needs replacing!

  13. Remember When... on BusinessWeek Advocates Microsoft Piracy · · Score: 1

    One of the "magic" MS product keys was all ones? It wasn't exactly a secret - piracy creates market share. MS business practices surely encourage a certain amount of piracy, especially in emerging markets.

  14. Re:Good news on Matching Cancers With the Best Chemical Treatments · · Score: 1

    I ruptured my spleen when I was a kid (fell out of building) - I can tell you that it's not important at all and has had no effect on my health in my 25+ years since the accident.

  15. Re:Stargate Adventure on Stargate SG-1 Game Finally Canceled · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure it was built with AGS:

  16. Stargate Adventure on Stargate SG-1 Game Finally Canceled · · Score: 4, Informative

    The fan-made game Stargate Adventure is available here:

    http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=5309

    Some rough English translations and a bit short, but it held my attention.

  17. They Should Make Their Time... on Hubble Discovers a Hundred New Planets · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Soon All Their Base Will Belong To Us...

  18. Re:Who is it? on Ars Technica Interviews Scott Collins · · Score: 1

    Surely there are some current (or former) Netscape employees reading this - please identify this asshat so we can work our magic on him.

  19. Re:Come Over to My Place Tonight... on Listen To The Universe On Your iPod · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'd have a retort for this, except I'm white and my cable package doesn't include UPN or BET - sorry!

  20. Come Over to My Place Tonight... on Listen To The Universe On Your iPod · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...if you want to hear the sounds of the Big Bang!
