  1. Re:A Wake Up Call? on Steve Jobs Undergoes Cancer Surgery · · Score: 1

    Live your life as if you are going to be dead tomorrow.

    Oh no, I'm too young to die! Why me? Why? *cries*

  2. Re:What if... on Memory Card Torture Tests · · Score: 4, Funny

    You know, a normal person would just delete the files.

  3. Re:On the other hand... on Hide and Go Sneak - The Rise Of Stealth Gaming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'll second that, Far Cry MP with less than four people is incredibly boring. You end up running around the map, meeting an enemy every few minutes then running around again.

    I guess it helps if you know the map well, then you can meet up in one area.

  4. Re:CSS3 support on Microsoft Responds to IE Criticism · · Score: 1

    I agree, I don't care what interface features IE has because I don't have to use it for anything more than simple page testing. I want them to fix their screwed-up rendering engine so I can make better web sites.

    Why is everyone talking about CSS3? Do they mean Cascading Style Sheets or is there another CSS? Because W3C CSS3 is still a working draft that is far from completion. No other browser supports besides a few minor things. I do hope that either IE dies or integrates CSS3 immediately when it becomes a recommendation.

  5. Re:K ad nauseum on KDE 3.3 Beta "Klassroom" Released · · Score: 1

    Whoa, I never knew it was supposed to be ceramic, I've been pronouncing it ke-ra-mick, like Kermit.

  6. Re:This is good, to be sure... on They Might Be Giants Open Their Own Music Store · · Score: 1

    There's Magnatune but you'll have to look through a lot of crap to find music you like. Drop Trio are awesome. Also have a look at Kenji Williams' music if you like electronic

    Music is downloadable in FLAC, WAV and MP3.

  7. Re:new features on Tiger Slideshow: Pretty Mac OS X Pictures · · Score: 1

    Microsoft announced better local searching through documents, email, etc for Longhorn a long time ago through WinFS. Apple's spotlight is nice but it's in no way original, I'm suprised no one has made a decent metadata file search until now.

    Then there's Apple Konfabulator clone, great innovation there. Safari 2's RSS view is very nice, but RSS (which was created in 1997) is not what I would call a "new technology".

    What are they expecting Microsoft to copy?

  8. Re:Like IPv6 isn't good enough on China Deploys IPv9 Network · · Score: 2, Interesting

    From Wikipedia, "This is the equivalent of 4.3 × 1020 (430,000,000,000,000,000,000) unique addresses per square inch of the Earth's surface."

  9. Re:From the no-shit-sherlock dept. on Use an iPod Mini to Broadcast Pirate Radio · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Hey Good Looking! We'll be back to pick you up later!"

    Homer: Oh, he's in for some lovin'!

  10. Re:Human eye? on ViewSonic VP2290b Super High-Res Monitor · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know at what point the resolution becomes finer than the human eye can perceive? Is this monitor there yet?

    That would depend on the distance that it's viewed from.

  11. Re:Namig Convention on Mac OS X "Tiger" Server Previewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Maybe for OS 11 (OS X1?)...

    Er, that would be OS XI, it's a Roman numeral.

  12. Re:Hey! on Real adds GPL to Helix Player, RedHat/Novell Join In · · Score: -1, Redundant

    *Sigh*, this happens everytime Real is mentioned in an article. It's not really that hilarious when you've seen it 10 times already.

    I'm gambling on whether to post AC or not, will I gain or lose karma? Insightful or offtopic?

  13. Re:No News on Father of DVD Gets Bitter Reward · · Score: 1

    Who invented the DVD technology? That's the news for nerds.

    The Motion Picture Experts Group, Dolby Labs and mostly likely a few others.

  14. Mozilla Fire- on Official Firefly Movie Web Site Launched · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sounds like good future name for Phoenix, Firefly 1.0?

  15. Whoa, that scared me on Australian Computer Museum Needs a Saviour · · Score: 1

    From that news item I thought that archive.org was closing, anyone else?

  16. Re:googlebomb anyone? on The RIAA Sues 482 More People · · Score: 1
    Put this on a webpage: what a <a href="http://www.riaa.com/">bunch of pricks</a>

    What if we do <a href="http://www.riaa.com/" title="bunch of pricks">RIAA</a>? Does Google use the title attribute?

  17. Re:The only thing that hurts more... on Texas Using WiFi to Encourage Driving Breaks · · Score: 1

    It's just a guess but I don't think many people will be bringing CRTs with them.

  18. Re:Motorola Cable Modems? on Surfing on a Surfboard · · Score: 1

    Wow, if you combine all the redundant jokes into a single post you get one positive mod point!

  19. Re:Hope for all geeks out there on John Carmack's Test Liftoff a Success · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Thanks to simulation we can all tweak ideas without blowing up prototypes.

    I think you'll find Armadillo Aerospace blew up a lot of prototypes.

  20. Re:.ogg? on Theora I Bistream Format Frozen · · Score: 1

    I think we shoud abandon file extentions altogether and use content-types instead which IIRC is what Mac OS X does.

  21. Re:examples? on Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That is a real person. That model would have been body scanned.

    What makes body scanned CG characters so different to a photo of someone?

  22. Re:Better than OLE? on EIOffice 2004 vs. MS Office 2003 · · Score: 1

    Build an office suite with a file based database with a GUI and then you can start to attack the MS Access component of MS Office. Until then, you're replicating Star-Office and OpenOffice for some reason (and then trying to sell it for $149 USD on top of that).

    Why, when you can use PHP/MySQL?

    I was recently subjected to using MS Access' Forms and Reports for a uni assignment. I never, ever want to use that ever again, ever.

  23. Sleeping more than once a day on Calculate When You Are Most Awake · · Score: 1

    This propaganda survey assumes that I only go to sleep once a day.

  24. Re:Block out MSIE on Opera Settles $12.75m Lawsuit, But with Whom? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Why not just use the correct content-type (application/xhtml+xml)? AFAIK almost all browsers support it except IE and it's a W3C recommendation.

  25. Original idea? on Keeping Your Keg Cool Sans Ice · · Score: 1

    What is his idea? It sounds to me like a flexible peltier array, what's original about that?
