  1. Re:An even bigger example of an outmoded metaphor on Modernizing the Save Icon? · · Score: 0

    Except that they got rid of the "flat" look in Office 2003 :)

  2. Virizzle on PhatBot Trojan Spreading Rapidly On Windows PCs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Since when did Snoop Dogg start writing code? Shizzle, dawg, dis virizzle be PHAT!

  3. Re:BMW Radar Detector on Interacting with Onboard Car Computers? · · Score: 0

    holy crap that is the coolest thing ever.

    i've been trying to decide between a 2-3 year old 3-series or A4/S4... both seem to have tons of cool, useful aftermarket stuff... but this may make the decision a bit easier :)

  4. Re:What is OCP? on HardOCP Sues Infinium Over Legal Threats · · Score: 0

    i've heard:
    Hard OverClockers Page
    Hard OverClockers Paradise
    Hard OverClockers Portal

    Hard Overclockers Comparison Page sounds stupid, like it's a corral for a bunch of lame hax0r kiddies...
    oh, wait, that's HardForum!

  5. Re:San Andreas? on Rockstar Announces GTA San Andreas · · Score: 2, Funny
    Grand Theft Bicycle: Vatican

    Wouldn't that be Grand Theft Pope-Mobile?!

  6. Re:Amusing what I found in the article on Hackers Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    Raymond says the basic difference is that "hackers build things, crackers break them."

    It's always fuckin' whitey!

  7. Re:Dammit. on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    I hope not... "F-Fo" sounds too much like "F. O.", which would most likely be interpreted as "F**k Off"!

  8. Re:Oh, the irony... on Bad Spelling Pays on eBay · · Score: 1

    "ATi" is incorrect (PDF - Page 2, near the bottom: "WRITING ATI: At all times ATI should only be written in UPPERCASE letters.") I think I saw a press release from NVIDIA that said NVIDIA was supposed to be in all caps, too. Whatever...

  9. Re:The "superior" quote comes from Paul Thurrott.. on HP Working With Apple To Add WMA Support To iPod · · Score: 4, Interesting

    And to add to the confusion, check out the screenshots for the Service Pack 2 preview.

    Note the title bars -- "Virtual PC". He's running it on a Mac!

    So WTF -- is he a Windows zealot or closet Mac user!?

  10. Re:Just in time for the Superbowl ad on HP Licenses Apple's iPod & iTMS · · Score: 0

    Re: Font

    doubt it... since the ipod uses "chicago", and the new ipod mini uses a tahoma-like font, the players can display different fonts.

    apple would most certainly want something very visible in the UI to seperate its products from the HP product(s), so i'm sure HP would use a font that doesn't scream "apple" like chicago.

  11. Re:No messy Dell battle on Microsoft Word Forms Passwords Hacked · · Score: 0

    ummm... i fail to follow your logic.

    say mr. l33t hax0r gets a password-protected DOC with a $999 quote from dell. mr. hax0r uses this hack and edits the file, knocking $300 off the quote. file gets saved, password's still there, and claims that dell should sell him a computer at $699 because the "secure" quote says so.

  12. Re:oh goodie! on Hyper-Threading Explained And Benchmarked · · Score: 0

    that was true with the first betas... who knows about retail though. i don't see why they'd need it -- if a 3D card will do 60 bazillion FPS, why not let it?

    Dude, what are you talking about?! Who cares what the girls are doing, those girls are HOT!

  15. Tux on Wind Turbines Kill a Few Birds · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thankfully Tux has nothing to worry about -- penguins can't fly!

  17. Converting WMV files? on Dealing w/ Codec Hell Under Multiple OSes? · · Score: 0

    Sorta off-topic, but which utilities are available to convert Windows Media (WMV/ASX/etc.) to MPEG?

  20. Re:Napster 2 vs. iTunes vs. Rhapsody on New Napster Off To A Solid Start · · Score: 2, Interesting

    there's only one WMA/DRM-compatible portable player -- the Samsung/Napster player. Try to play protected WMAs on any other plain WMA-compatible player and you're SOL.

  21. Re:cool idea, been done, and better too. on 200hp/V6/G3 600MHz "iCar" · · Score: 1

    The 2004 Acura TL has Bluetooth also.

  22. Re:Random examples of movie computing on Linux in Movies? · · Score: 1

    I remember that episode of Law & Order -- the IP address they used was clearly fake (it WAS in proper form though -- something like 192.168.1.399, not just xxx.xxx like you said)

    i suppose they had to make it fake (just like phone numbers always being "xxx-555-xxxx") otherwise wannabe techies will try to connect to that IP -- think DoS :)

  23. Crank Yankers on Linux in Movies? · · Score: 1

    There was a skit on Crank Yankers last season -- Special Ed calls a tech support guy, and brags "I got mail!" over and over. There's a big "Linux Inside" (like the "Intel Inside" logo) poster in the background... there's also a poster of a Bill Gates muppet, too :) Search for the "crank yankers got mail" video on Kazaa or Gnutella.
