  1. opera on Next Generation Mail Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    i use opera every day for my web browsing.

    that said i will they would get off their arses and make a 7.23 client for OSX. the only version for MAC is like 2 years old.

    as much as i love and use opera i will not pay for it until the MAC client is on par with the Windows Client

  2. silly question on Your Future Car's Hood Will Be Welded Shut · · Score: 1

    umm how are they gonna get out of the car??? look at the picture. the doors swing up? so do i shut off the car and roll it into the parking spot? or was this designed to only be parallel parkable?

  3. Re:Exclusives dont mean what they used to... on Rockstar Announces GTA San Andreas · · Score: 4, Insightful

    i prefer the word exclusive to mean "the console develop paid us money to make our game only work on their system for some period of time X"

    otherwise you are right. the only truely exclusives are from the console devs themselves.

    Ex.
    Halo on Xbox
    Mario on GC
    EverQuest??? on PS2

    does Sony even have an exclusive title for PS2?

  4. better hope on 'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police · · Score: 2, Insightful

    we better hope no one from slashdot commits a high profile murder 'cause then law enforcement will ask that all website related to Linux and anti-Microsoft ways and conspiracy theories be taken down/blocked because only a murderer would be into high technology, equal rights and the belief that only people who publish their source code have nothing to hide.

  5. the Chipmaker??? on AMD Could Profit from Buffer-Overflow Protection · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    why does the chipmaker need to protect us from microsoft buffer overflow errors? why can't they just double check their code?

    this premod-ed -1 flamebait

  6. before any one else leaves this comment on Morphing Code to Prevent Reverse Engineering? · · Score: 1

    "Resistance is futile"

  7. the dark side on Morphing Code to Prevent Reverse Engineering? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    how come for every new technology that comes out that is suppose to "secure" us i can think of a way it can be used "malicously"

    ex. I write YourDoom.A and i write it using this new code morphing obfuscator. how exactly are Anti-virus programs 1. suppose to remove this? 2. identify this?

    Given the numberous amount of VB/Outlook bugs and considering that .NET is so "young" can't you see this used for creating a perpetual virus that can't be removed? you wouldn't even be able to ID the bug that caused this to virus to run itself.

  9. Re:i teach bass.... on The Self-Tuning Guitar · · Score: 1

    no im not afraid. as for the bass instructor thing i do follow the "those who can't teach" i know whats required for me to "break" into "industry" i just don't want to/can't fulfill the requirement. however if i can help those who want to learn get a jump start heck i'm willing to help out.

    forgive the OT example but would trust a coder with only java experience to be able to debug memory management issues with C++?

    people learn music for a variety of reasons
    1. hobby
    2. forced to by parents
    3. immitate rock idol
    4. money

    if your in it for 4 though you better learn to tune your guitar properly and sight read and better get your ear trained otherwise you will go no where.

  10. Re:i teach bass.... on The Self-Tuning Guitar · · Score: 1

    If you let your students get away with tuning with digital tuners you are doing them no good. You should take the bass out of their hands, manually de-tune it and force them to tune it by ear before every lesson you give. See how dependant they are on the digital tuner after 5 lessons.

    nice idea. i WILL do this. thxs.

  11. i teach bass.... on The Self-Tuning Guitar · · Score: 4, Insightful

    and i meet students all the time that don't want to learn to tune because of digital tuners. i would imagine how "bad" music would sound when they can figure out they can just press a button to retune their guitar. people listen. you ear tune to train your ear.

  12. Re:sticking with the whole numbers in song thing on Ebay Suspends Phone Number Sales · · Score: 1

    man i wish you god modded funny. well i've know him for 10 years. and except for the first year i knew him i've never know him to be without a girlfriend for longer then 3 weeks. and thats not to say he bounces between girls either. in that time i know he had a 1 year, 2 years, and 5 year relationship. didn't keep track of his GFs while i was in college though.

  13. sticking with the whole numbers in song thing on Ebay Suspends Phone Number Sales · · Score: 4, Interesting

    a buddy of mine wrote a song with HIS telephone number in it. then he would sing it out at club and other places hoping chicks would call him.

    He-man? dude it was live action what did you expect?
    pokemon. i caught them all damn it!
    power rangers is still on and as good/bad as it always was maybe you just outgrew it
    and DuckTales was the shiznit! i still remember being confused about weather gizmo-duck and Buba were in the same time line or were they seperate time lines.
    i never watched Rugrats.

    Some people have friends or relatives who do 4, should they just start ignoring them?

    respond to the email they forwarded you asking very nicely not to send you these emails. unless of course they are playboy bunnies.
