  1. Workaround on Updating Quickbooks Forces Online Membership? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Use a program like PDFmailer to send quotes and such.

  2. Propagandhi Public License on New License Forbids Human Rights Violations? · · Score: 1

    I always kind of hoped a bit from [the band] Propagandhi's liner notes would be turned into a software license:

    Absolutely all shit to do with Propagandhi, Inc., its' conglomerates or subsidiaries, is absolutely anti-copyright.1993... How the fuck can you stake a claim of ownership to intangible patterns of sound?! Duplicate, imitate, replicate, eradicate, masterbate, Merciful Fate (for non-profit, non-fascistic purposes) at will, shitface. We don't give a crap. However, Mike/Fat Wreck Chords paid for this recording, and subsequently "owns" the "rights" (whatever the fuck that means) to it, so he may very well have a different point of veiw regarding this issue, and will likely reserve the right to sue the dingleberries out of your bum. Whatever. All mistakes, fuck-ups, production flaws and tuning discrepencies are on purpose and are furthermore copyright 1993 Who Gives A Fuck? Productions. Ha.

  3. 3rd party comment servers on Mr Anti-Google · · Score: 1

    Sounds like what this guy is really interested in is 3rd party comment servers.

  4. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on Writing Messages In Empty Space With GPS · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Douglas Adam's trying to work out something like this?

  5. Google effect has caused MORE domains on The Google Effect And Domain Name Speculation · · Score: 1

    Anyone familiar with the current Google algo will recognize that Google has spurred a glut of new registrations as people jam keywords into their domain names.

    Case in point:

    PSC Symbol Opticon Metrologic Scannermart

  6. Hallelujiah! on Google Letting Users Rank Search Results · · Score: 1

    Yes! Yes! Yes!

    Collaborative filtering for the masses! Reputation management! Can Annotea comment servers be far behind?(!)

    Build it in to Mozilla.

  7. Will this thing be juiced with an Athlon XP? on NVidia nForce Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Will the Athlon XP make any better use of that extra bandwidth?

  8. Universal Canvas: "holy grail of User Experience" on Linux Development Call To Arms · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Microsoft's Universal Canvas

    MS didn't have the balls to upgrade office with something that was revolutionary instead of evolutionary.

    MS comes up with a lot of great ideas, but, as a publicly traded company, doesn't have the nuts to execute on them.

  9. Micropayments would fix this (again) on Gator Will Replace Ads On Sites · · Score: 1

    If advertisers paid users for their time directly. Users could then spend that money on content. This would result in more relevant ads and better content.

    (Of course, if you weren't in a valuable demographic, you wouldn't be able to get free content like you can now.)

  10. MS does it better on Rivals Upset At Windows XP Features · · Score: 1

    I guess I'd be more upset if Real Player wasn't such a stinking pile of spyware garbage.

  11. we all pay for ads on Calling Out TiVo · · Score: 1

    Ads may pay for "free" television, but this cost is ultimately billed to the consumer in the form of more expensive products.

  12. Who's worse: Dvorak or Katz? on Calling Out TiVo · · Score: 1

    I'd vote for Katz if only because he takes more space to say something stupid.

  13. $1 should not equal one vote on Too Much Corporate Power? · · Score: 1

    "If you don't like a company, don't buy its product but do buy its shares."

    Are you telling me only stockholders should have a say? This isn't supposed to be a plutocracy!

  14. Reputation Management on Interesting Way To Protest Napster · · Score: 1

    This is why (almost) *everything* on the web needs some form of reputation management.

  15. the usability sucks, style is whack too on Web Design Luminary Jeff Zeldman · · Score: 1

    Though destroying usability to the extent it is on Zeldman.com is pretty indefensible. It could almost be ameliorated if the site were a real visual knockout, but it's not.

  16. Re:Gee, this looks familiar on Preview Helix Code's "Evolution" · · Score: 1

    I don't see what's wrong with benefiting from all the money MS has spent on user interface R&D.

    Steal the good ideas, improve on them, and leave the cruff behind.

  17. $15 is too much on Metallica Wants To Ban 335,435 Napster Users · · Score: 2

    Wouldn't sending $15 to Metallica be like 8 times the share they see from an album sold by their label?

  18. Re:Prices, power consumption are increasing on NVIDIA Geforce 2 Review · · Score: 1
    From www.anandtech.com

    Another benefit of the die shrink is that the GeForce 2 GTS consumes close to half of the power as the original GeForce, putting it at between 8 - 9W versus the 16W for the GeForce. This makes the GeForce 2 GTS closer to the position where it could be used in a mobile solution, although 8 - 9W is still far from the target mark for a mobile product.
  19. less than the sum of it's parts on RealPlayer To Incorporate Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Good codecs from Microsoft..
    Good code from Mozilla...

    ...and still RealPlayer sucks ass.

  20. Re:Wow on The Dual 1GHz Pentium III Myth · · Score: 1

    Motion blur is a hack. Anti-aliasing is too.

    If (when) GPU's are capable of doing 1800x1200 at 150fps. I don't think anyone's going to care about this kind of visual trickery.

    If I was at Nvidia, I would be laughing my head off at the crap hardware 3dfx puts out, but pitying for the consumers tricked into buying it.

  21. So what's the graphics chip? on Microsoft's X-Box Specs Revealed · · Score: 1

    The video subsystem pretty much defines a game console. MS will put in a GeForce if they know what's good for 'em.
