  1. WTF?!?!?! on IBM Files for Partial Summary Judgement vs SCO · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What is this? a legal slapstick ?

  2. Re:They're idiots on The Cost of Computer Naivete · · Score: 1

    Friend of mine worked with a fully working Win98 install for 5 years.

    To be honest, he didn't connect to the net much

    But still, I thought it was impressive :)

  3. They're idiots on The Cost of Computer Naivete · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Her PC was in such bad shape, it required 10 1/2 hours of surgery to restore it to working condition."

    It takes me a lot shorter to install Win98 on a box and that includes saving any or all documents.
    1.5 hours tops.

  4. Picard on Apple Patents 'Chameleon' Computer Case · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    THERE ARE 5 LIGHTS :D

    Brilliant episode that one

  5. The vultures are circling on Public Markets For Predicting Google's Market Cap · · Score: 1

    It seems like everybody will try to make a buck of Google. I just hope that Google won't bomb like so many other companies.

  6. Re:Soyuz rocket prepared w/ Windex and screwdriver on NASA Gives OK to Fix Hubble Telescope · · Score: 1

    I don't know if you're kidding or not, but from what I heard/read, the astronauts always have a swiss army knife with them.

    Those things are worth their weight in gold, I use mine daily :)

  7. Championship Manager on On The Most Boring Videogames Of All Time · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't think this is flamebait because I know a shitload of people love this game series, but for the life of me, I can't see the appeal of the game.

    To me it's nothing more than a glorified spreadsheet.

    (not giving one iota about soccer is also a factor I think)

  8. Movie time? on Gates Gets Government Guards for Gala · · Score: 1

    Why does this remind me of the party in the movie Anti-Trust ?? Will something "shocking" happen soon ?

  9. Reminds me of something on EA Encouraging Playing Hooky from Work? · · Score: 4, Funny

    a sig someone on a bbs had

    "Used up all my sickdays, calling in dead"

    Loved that one :D

  10. Re:atleast with the demo I can see if my system ca on Doom 3 Gets Info On Demo, Linux, DVD, Xbox · · Score: 1

    Can I be his friend too ?? ;)

  11. Re:That would be BOINC on BOINC Project to Search for Gravitational Waves · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Predictor@Home"

    I'm not donating any cycles to see if my gf is pregnant ;)

  12. Ok.. on "Evolved" Caches Could Speed the Net · · Score: 1

    "An important consideration is what incentives there are for caching information for other users."

    So the ISP's will have to upgrade their soft/hardware to make this work?
    Will that be worth it ?

    In my opinion the article was a bit light on details :(

  13. Lan capability? on T-Mobile Launches GSM/802.11 Phone In Germany · · Score: 1

    Would this mean that when you come home (provided you have a WAP) you would be able to access your phone via your computer over the network ??

  14. Re:Don't forget the game! on Spider-Man 2 Reviewed [updated] · · Score: 1

    Here's my one line review for the game (played it a few days ago on the PC)

    "My sphinctersense is tingling"

  15. Oh dear on Top 500 Supercomputer List Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does nobody see what is about to happen?
    Those computers will read that list and know which computers to connect to, to take over the world!!

    Doesn't anyone read comics anymore ??
    May $DEITY have mercy on us all.

  16. Re:guys & gals, eyes & ears on What Happened To PC Gaming Audio? · · Score: 1

    heh, I love the woman that's connected to my gf's sexy ears every time I look at them (with my eyes) :D

  17. Re:I love stuff about quantum computing! on Baby Steps Toward Quantum Computers · · Score: 1

    I have the same thing with women :)

  18. Happiness :) on Slackware 10-RC1 Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It fills my heart with glee that a fellow dutchy is making (among other people of course) one of the more popular linux distros.

    Congrats to him (and the team)

  19. Re:Since this is an Apple product on iTunes Europe Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Nope, don't think so, the problem I saw most was with the harddrive or the software.

    Replacing the harddrive in an I-Mac is pretty easy and they take normal IDE drives, so you don't need an Apple specific part (saves money).

    On another note, the Tech service department from Apple have always been extra polite to me and helped me pretty darn fast. I only had one incident with them, but they were not the cause of that (bad monitor, damaged plastic etc during repair, whole thing took 9 months, but this is an extreme example)

  20. Re:price on Seagate Rolls Out 400 GB SATA Drives · · Score: 1

    Mod this guy up, he's just giving us his experiences with harddrives. We might not agree, but I hardly see a giant flame-war coming up between the brandnames ?

    Personally, I love Maxtor, hate WD and have a love/hate relationship with IBM/Hitachi.

    Haven't had a Samsung though.

  21. Re:Since this is an Apple product on iTunes Europe Goes Live · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm in the Netherlands, I've had to fix Macs for a living alongside "normal" pc's.

    I haven't seen a lot Macs, even though that the store that I worked for was one of the biggest Mac-retailers in the NL. They stopped selling them a while ago though, but I think they will be back soon since they are gaining popularity again.

  22. Since this is an Apple product on iTunes Europe Goes Live · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know there is a Windows client for I-Tunes, but this article made me wonder.

    How many Apple users are there in Europe anyway?

    (Not trying to belittle them in any way, I'm just curious)

  23. Re:No shining force? on Best Strategy RPGs Of All Time Rated · · Score: 1

    I'm missing Grandia 2 (never played part 1 myself)
    The story was cool, had some nice twists and turns, the gameplay was very enjoyable and the music was great.

    One of the things that I enjoyed is, that near the ending, for me, it seemed like the game was done, but no, it just kept going and going and going.

    I'm looking forward to the sequel.

  24. Mirror anyone? on No-Action Jackson - Graphic Adventuring Up Geekdom · · Score: 1

    The link has exceeded it's bandwidth, can somebody mirror it or mail it to me ?

    Remco {AT} Palli [DOT] NL

    Thanks

  25. Re:So much for innovation on EA Deflects Buyout Rumors, Raises Profits, Sheds Jobs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There are a lot of gamestudios in Asia and recently some have popped up in Russia and the Tschech (sp?) republic.

    I think it won't be that much of a problem.
