  1. Re:I thought Firefox was Streamlined on Mozilla Heading to Mobiles · · Score: 1

    Apparently Firefox 2.0 is going to be text only.

    "Our customers love our no-nonsense bloat free software" said Ben Goodger, project leader at the Mozilla Foundation.
    "With Firefox 2.0 we've taken the next step in minimalisitic design by removing unecessary UI controls like buttons and menus. Your favourite browser is now more steamlined than ever."

    What about the emotional and marriage problems it causes?

    What if I don't have a processor? How am I supposed to play then?

  4. Re:CDS?!? on Half-Life 2 Release Date Broken · · Score: 1

    And with UT2004 and other games you get charged for special edition crap that you don't want just so you can get the game on DVD.

    Not only are multiple discs annoying but CDs are very slow compared to DVDs. A 16X DVD drive is the same speed at 142X CD drive!

  5. Re:Hydrogen Power. on Combined Gasoline/Hydrogen Fuel Station Opens · · Score: 1

    "Source" implies energy is being created, which, so I hear, can't happen.

    It doesn't though, it only implies that you're taking energy from something, which is true. Once there's energy stored in something it can be used as an energy source.

  6. Re:Hydrogen Power. on Combined Gasoline/Hydrogen Fuel Station Opens · · Score: 1

    Just because it took energy to produce doesn't mean that the final product is not an energy source.

  7. Re:Probably not gonna be significant... on Will Wind Power Change Earth's Climate? · · Score: 1

    Uhh, that totally ignores the nuclear strong force. That is if i push on a wall as hard as I can I am still doing work.

    Where do I apply for a job at this "Nuclear Strong Force"?

  8. MOD PARENT UP on The Eye: Evolution versus Creationism · · Score: 1

    You said it better than I could have. Anyone who's interested in this sort of thing (and it seems are a lot of them) search for books and DVDs by Ken Ham.

  9. Re:Mt. Reiner? on An Exhaustive 16X DVD Burner Roundup · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find that nearly all DVD drives support Mt. Rainier.

  10. Wrong parent on SLI Performance Reviewed at Anandtech · · Score: 1

    I was referring to the link in the grand parent post, I accidently replied to the wrong comment

  11. Re:Expensive..... on SLI Performance Reviewed at Anandtech · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Mods should moderate any posts with lame referrer links as "Offtopic".

  12. Re:Good idea on Wired Releases Creative Commons Sampling CD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You can already get 30 second previews from iTunes, Amazon and hundreds of music sites. What does that have to do with Creative Commons?

  14. Re:working backwards on Flying By Brain · · Score: 5, Informative

    A brain is a neural network. Artificial neural networks were created to simulate them using mathematical models.

  15. Re:Must Be Gapless on iRiver Ships Linux Media Players · · Score: 1, Insightful

    There's nothing more frustrating than a two-second moment of silence during the music.

    If that's the worst thing that's ever happened to you, you should consider yourself lucky.

    A text based graphic user interface? Did you use ASCII art to draw your widgets?

  20. Story Typo on New nForce Boards Previewed · · Score: 5, Informative

    support for Serial ATA 3 Gigabytes/second hard drives

    It's Serial ATA II which is 3 Gigabits/second. That's just the interface speed, I doubt we'll be seeing drives that fast on the desktop in the near future.

  22. Re:one problem on Cherry OS Claims Mac OS X Capability For x86 · · Score: 1

    Insighful? WTF? The parent deserves -1 Troll, obviously they've never used a recent version of Windows or are just trolling.

  23. Re:It's good to hear on The Ultimate MacDate · · Score: 1

    Exactly, I'd love to try a Mac but they cost a crapload and it's money I could be spending on my x86 PC. If Apple ported Mac OS to x86 I'd at least try it out for sure.

  24. Re:opera on The Browser Wars Are Back? · · Score: 1

    Less CSS Support? From http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/ - "Opera 7.5 supports all of CSS2.1". And I'm sure they'll support CSS3 as soon as the specification is complete.

    I would consider one of Opera's big advantages over Firefox to be it's lack of bugs or general "dodgyness". Firefox's bookmarks are a prime example.

  25. Re:Does it work properly/completely with Opera yet on Gmail Adds Features · · Score: 1

    That's version 7.60 not 7.61
