  1. Re:Competition on Safari for Windows Downloaded Over 1 Million Times · · Score: 1

    Better yet, buy a Mac, test on OS X, Linux and Windows all at once via Parallels or VMWare or boot natively on either OS.

    Yes Leopard has unified theme for the most part.

    No I don't really care that it's bundled with the OS, just FF is a lot more secure(at least was, I haven't been using Windows for a while).

  4. Oh really? on Safari 3 vs. Firefox 2 and IE7 · · Score: 1

    Both Firefox and Opera are available on OS X as well yet most people use Safari. Personally, I don't have any use for any of the extra features in Opera of Firefox extensions.

  6. Re:I work with MS products. on Microsoft Cancels Major Developers' Conference · · Score: 1

    I don't know what's wrong with MS but they have some serious problems producing software. Maybe it's trying to support legacy software all the time. Perhaps they should just bite the bullet and break all the old clunky programs that use undocumented APIs etc.. I'm actually pretty happy that they are bombing on everything though because I truly hate using Windows.

  7. Re:Why not just let us pay for the damn bandwidth? on Will ISPs Spoil Online Video? · · Score: 1

    Because the ISPs that do that(Bell Canada has started to for new customers) they charge insane prices per GB. The cost of a GB to them is so low yet they charge huge margins on it.

  9. Re:A no win situation on Some Soft Drinks May Damage Your DNA · · Score: 1

    Which is why I said type 2 not type 1. Both of these conditions I was talking about insulin insensitive and not producing enough insulin which are both causes of type 2 diabetes http://diabetes.webmd.com/tc/Type-2-Diabetes-Cause

  10. Re:A no win situation on Some Soft Drinks May Damage Your DNA · · Score: 1

    Type 2 is your body being insulin insensitive OR not producing enough insulin but still some insulin. Both of these conditions can be caused by stressing your body by intaking high amounts of sugar. Your body will be releasing larger amounts of insulin which stresses your pancreas to the point it might not be able to make enough. Also, having high insulin levels many times per day causes your body to become insulin resistant. This means the cells start to ignore insulin to a point where your blood sugar levels stay higher than normal.

    IF insulin release can be caused by your body sensing sweets then the person first stating that is correct, and artificial sweeteners cause insulin release by your pancreas. This is not what most people think. They think they can take all they want of that crap and still be ok because it's not sugar. Well, a quick search of google shows otherwise http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en& q=artificial+sweetener+insulin+response&ie=UTF-8&o e=UTF-8

  12. Re:So, maybe this IS the solution? on Canadians Overpay Millions on Copyright Tax · · Score: 1

    The courts ruled downloading was legal but sharing is illegal because you are breaking copyright by providing the files. This is exactly how it should be. God only knows how much money I've had to pay to these greedy bastards. They even put the levy on portable music players.

    Interesting side note: I was listening to the radio once and they were asking the question "How much music on portable music players is actually paid for?" The answer was around 2% and the rest was pirated or ripped from CDs. I was like "WTF, since when is ripping from a CD count as stolen music?" This was from the radio DJs. It shows how far up the asses of the record companies they really are. I bet they are fed FUD by the record companies all the time in order to perpetuate false information like this.

    Also, who cares if the RIAA members become sick, we're talking about Canada, duh.

  14. Re:Back in the hands of the consumers...? on Canadians Overpay Millions on Copyright Tax · · Score: 1

    In that case, who cares if other people get the benefit from it? I sure don't. The health care system needs more money plain and simple and if they gave it away it's better than remaining in the hands of a few old men.

  15. Re:Youtube? on CBS Moving To Syndication Across the Internet · · Score: 1

    Youtube would be junk for actual TV shows. Flash longer than about 2 mins has audio sync issues. It would never work unless they encode in something more reliable like MPEG-4 or H.264.

    Until I can stream multiple HD channels/shows at once, Satellite and Cable TV isn't going anywhere.

  17. Re:Limits on government on Monday is Wiretap the Internet Day · · Score: 1

    I don't even vote liberal or conservative. Where I live is mostly old people and hicks and they are all stuck in their ways. Consequently, conservatives always win around here no matter what. I agree with you, people should stop voting based on what they think other people will vote and actually think about it first. I'm looking forward to the day when a party other than the 2 big ones(of either country, Canada, U.S.) actually wins.

    Not a crime but if they're really monitoring everyone it could be enough for them to screw with your life like put you on the terrorist watch list. Try flying on any airline then.

  19. Re:Limits on government on Monday is Wiretap the Internet Day · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well as someone said(I think on South Park actually), what do you do when you're choices are a total idiot and a douche? Face it, in the US(and here in Canada, Liberal vs. Conservative, both equally useless parties), there aren't really any choices. The other small parties have no idea what they'd do if they actually won.

    Play that DVD on a new 52" HDTV and it'll look pretty bad. True not everyone will have one that big for a few years but they are coming down in price and soon more people will be buying them. HD-DVD and Blue-Ray problems will still be the same at that time assuming they don't scrap it and go with something else.
