  1. Pre-installed. on Dell XPS 'Gaming' PC Review · · Score: 1

    The pre-installed programs that Dell chose to include on its computer were almost certainly the cause of all these problems
     
    Wouldn't you decide to give such a system a fresh install any way?

  2. Re:More info.... on Blu-ray Coming Out On Top? · · Score: 1

    The wikipedia community also has a descent explanation

    Oh, and donnie is here.
  3. Re:Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? on Breakthrough for Quantum Measurement · · Score: 1

    So it's still intact then?

  4. Can't really blaim 'm. on How Microsoft Takes a Name · · Score: 1

    Since windows is so popular, every "Windows" related pre- and postfix is being used by a third party tool, leave "Windows Kitchen Sink".

    All the windows bitching aside, if they want to publish a tool based on their own name they have a right to.

  5. Re:Where's the torrent? on The Ultimate Star Trek Collection · · Score: 1

    True. But they can make this collection magnitudes smaller by just removing the cutscenes.

    oh, wait ...

    never mind.

  6. In the Netherlands ... on Sex.com Hijacker Captured in Mexico · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... wussies that we are, this guy would just get some prison time (since internet fraud isn't regarded a class A felony) and a fine (not even coming close to what he earned).

    I really hope they take away all his money and he gets 30 years. It's about time these criminals get what they deserve.

  7. Don't you mean... on Windows Vista Leaks ... Again! · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they will rely upon their usual method of security[NO CARRIER]

  8. WinRar on New Winzip in the Works · · Score: 1

    I always thought winrar was superior to winzip. Can't really remember why though.

  9. Poor mice. on Australian Science Makes the Regenerating Mouse · · Score: 1
    I think humans and their wellbeing are superior to mice so some expirimenting should be allowed. Although this:

    It is quite remarkable. The only organ that did not grow back was the brain.

    made me frown a bit. So they actually removed a piece of the brain of a mouse while keeping it alive?
  10. "E-mail Is For Old People" on E-mail Is For Old People · · Score: 5, Funny

    E-mail Is For Old People

    So those VIAGRA spammers knew about this long before this research.

  16. No ... on Censored Nagasaki Bomb Story Found · · Score: 0

    ... Thank you.
    I live in the Netherlands which is the country right next to Germany. I much enjoyed growing up without cancer.

    Probably being all the way up there in the US makes you care not a whole lot about my fait. I wish you all the best though.

  17. Why the second bomb? on Censored Nagasaki Bomb Story Found · · Score: 0, Troll

    I never really got that. Was Japan gonna think; "Well one nuclear descruction we can handle! What? Another?? Ow then we surrender."

    Such awful descruction. Never really knew as well if the US in those days really needed to end the war that way or did they just wanna see what happend. Maybe a bit of both.

  18. Does it matter? on Plugging Internet Explorer's Leaks · · Score: 1

    They are after all web apps. They run on a client browser. Browser instances come and go. Client computers get rebooted. We don't really make web sites that will slurp up all the resources on the client, but if there is a small leak, I'm not too worried. (Not saying it's a good thing though).

    I guess as long a your development platform (whatever it is you use, we use .NET) doesn't leak, your app stays nice speedy and responsive. Especially with web apps, client uptime is important, but not that important.

  20. Re:In SOVIET Russia ... on Drawing uncovered of 'Nazi Nuke' · · Score: 0

    Really? You say he was a Nazi, but if he was with the WherMacht, he wasn't, that was just drafted personel. He probably has a few stories to tell though?

    ... this would have toasted Stalingrad.

    Good thing it never happened.

  22. Re:Rendering. on Microsoft IIS v7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    All of you are absolutely right. I misread the blob AND article. I'm truly shamed. I guess it makes me a designer that I could read an article like that and not notice the difference.

  23. Rendering. on Microsoft IIS v7 Details Emerge · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    "Developers are simply going to love IIS 7 because they finally will have the ability to configure the settings they need without having to request them from an administrator," he said.

    Too bad he didn't mention the fact that developers would love IE 7 because the xhtml/css is being rendered the way w3c intended it. Or maybe he didn't mention it because that's no feature of IE 7. I develope web sites for the travel industry and IE 5.0 and up is our focus browser. I can't remember how many times I was hacking away in my solid xhtml/css design (working flawless in firefox) to make it look ok in IE. I'm not flaiming microsoft in this, but they sould really really really work at making sure their browser doesn't do 'funky' rendering stuff.

    When that's done, I'll admire that "configure settings" gladly.

  24. Why "MS Killer" ? on Cheap Solid State Computers Could Kill Microsoft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why so often the discussions about who/what will be the MS killer? Surprisingly, these stories always somehow assume that MS will stand completely still in progress/development until this holy grail hits the market.

    Does it really matter anyway? Do we want microsoft gone? Let's say there is no microsoft anymore from this very day on. Does the industry improve? Try not to respond emotionally, but think about it.

  25. I used to be one. on Information Overload Overblown, Says Gates · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    That turns you into a filing clerk

    So what the fuck is wrong with that Mr. High Almighty Billionair.
