  1. Re:Prefer to be like Batman on The A-Team of IT — and How To Assemble One · · Score: 1

    On tape or hard drives?

  2. Re:I don't want a jealous computer... on Canonical Designer Demos Ubuntu Context-Aware UI · · Score: -1, Offtopic
  3. Re:Additional pollution = packaging on Online Shopping May Actually Increase Pollution · · Score: 1

    You mean like Geämi (used by Digi-Key.ca), ExpandOS and the Easypack Shredder?

    Packing "peanuts", even if made from starch, are not as eco-friendly as one would think. They take up a lot of room when shipping to your business (it's almost like you're getting a delivery of air) and they also take a lot of room to store.

  4. Re:Compromise on Online Shopping May Actually Increase Pollution · · Score: 1

    Better than that, the pollution from the factories actually goes back in!

    So if anyone orders something online that ends up smelling like smoke, it's T Murphy's fault.

  5. Re:Well done Intel on Intel Threatens DMCA Using HDCP Crack · · Score: 1

    Hey, that's not fair. CSS had a hard time catching on because of weak support from IE5.

    Was the horse named Polly?

  7. Re:Costs as much as three Tesla Roadsters on New HRP-4 Humanoid Robots From Japan To Go On Sale · · Score: 1

    It's because lie detectors are very complex machines, hence their cost.

  8. Re:Mouse and keyboard support? on Review: Halo: Reach · · Score: 1

    I wish they did allow it, just to prove to those console players that a gamepad really does suck for first-person shooter games.

  9. Great for lowering shipping costs on Morphing Metals · · Score: 1

    Manufacture a car, then crush it into a small cube, ship it and then put it 30 seconds in a giant oven to restore it back into its car form.

  10. Anaglyph... bleh on Hubble In Anaglyph Stereo 3D · · Score: 1

    Give me good old side-by-side parallel viewing any way. Requires a bit of effort to focus the right way, but once you've got the trick it's pretty easy to even play games this way. I remember an old Quake1 patch for that. Made the game feel a lot more real and yet easier to play. The sense of depth helped a lot.

  11. Mouse and keyboard support? on Review: Halo: Reach · · Score: 1

    All the latest consoles have USB ports and yet companies keep releasing games that only support the gamepad with those silly small analog sticks. Halo, being a first-person shooter, would be much better with keyboard+mouse support.

  12. Obligatory on Review: Halo: Reach · · Score: 4, Funny
  13. Re:Aptitude on Why Are Terrorists Often Engineers? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I bet MacGyver could do it with only a crowbar.

  14. Re:Print preview! One feature that I miss on Google Fixes 10 Bugs In Chrome, Pays $4000 Bounty · · Score: 1

    Yes I'm glad. But then again we don't have idiots trying to make "PDF websites" like we have with Flash.

  15. Great on Intel CTO Says Future Phones Will Sense Your Mood · · Score: 1

    Just call it GPP (Genuine People Personalities) and be done with it.

  16. Re:i'm glad this is happening on Google Fixes 10 Bugs In Chrome, Pays $4000 Bounty · · Score: 1

    Since Google uses Webkit which is from Apple, I think Apple kinda knew that these kinds of benefits could happen some day.

  17. Re:Print preview! One feature that I miss on Google Fixes 10 Bugs In Chrome, Pays $4000 Bounty · · Score: 2, Informative

    With Mac OS X, you can print directly to a PDF file. And we don't need anything from Adobe to read those files either. From a user point of view, a PDF is no different than a PNG or a JPEG.

    Yeah but a single Galaxy is nothing compared to the Universe.

  21. Re:Oh mod me a troll BUT on IE 9 Beta Strips Down For Speed · · Score: 2, Funny

    IE is that special kid in class, who wins a price not for coming in first, but because everyone is special in their own way. Even if they eat the chalk.

    Are you saying that IE is the Ralph Wiggum of the web browsers?
