  1. Cry Cry... on Facebook Changes Provoke Uproar Among Users · · Score: 0

    All the news feed does is tell you changes you have permission to see anyway. I don't consider website functionality that I could reproduce with a perl script to be particularly invasive.

  2. Re:or is it civ4? on China and Russia to Launch Joint Mars Mission · · Score: 0

    But what about when that light wants to steal my bodily fluids?

  3. Re:Incomplete story.. on Robotic Wellington Boot Thrower · · Score: 0

    It's a sheepless night, and the Welsh have built a contraption to throw boots.

  4. Re:Will they finally discount pluto? on Definition of Planet to be Announced in September · · Score: 0, Funny

    Yes, it will be SUCH a great relief. I mean, damn, it's been such a crucial part of my life to know whether Pluto can be called a planet or not. My mind has been in TERRIBLE CONFLICT since I was in elementary school over this.

    If Pluto is still a planet after September, nomenclature AS WE KNOW IT will fall apart. Tomatoes will become vegetables again!! Peanuts will be ACTUALLY NUTS!!! THE MADNESS MUST END

  5. woah now... on Spy Sweeper, the Next Netscape? · · Score: 0

    You mean they're not just going to sue Microsoft?!?

  6. so... on Leaving Early May Cost You Time · · Score: 0

    the answer is to just sit there and do nothing :D

  7. Missing Link.. on Missing Link Fossil Discovered · · Score: 0

    For those of you who don't follow paleontology, archaeology, or paleo-anthropology; every new discovery touted by media (and unfortunately sometimes the academics as well) as the 'oldest' or the 'missing link'.

  8. Re:That along with... on World's First Completely Transparent IC · · Score: 0

    then why aren't we busy transporting whales on spaceships?

  9. you have got to be kidding me on Why Vista Won't Suck · · Score: 0

    On the list of worst ideas ever
    That one hits pretty high

    Will be interesting when people's thumb drives die within a month of using this.

  10. erm. on Should Apple make .Mac free? · · Score: 0

    "There is no doubt that web portals are huge revenue engines, could Apple be missing an opportunity here?"

    Missing an opportunity by making a now-for-pay service free?

  11. So wait... on 1GB CompactFlash Roundup · · Score: 0

    They did a comparison review comparing performace, with the only control in the test being capacity, which of course, is unrelated to performace. How is this useful at all

  12. Dvorak... on Dvorak Says MS Should Buy Opera · · Score: 0

    says a lot of things.

  13. read the AUP on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 0

    it is specifically written so they can find objection to anything

  14. Re:Extreme programming? on Gallery 2.0 Released · · Score: 0

    Is that with, or without, the 'E' ?

  15. Re:Use a cross-Platform toolkit on Where Can I Find Linux Porters? · · Score: 0

    I know how tempting it must be to read more than the headline, but really, give in and try it sometime.

  16. Re:One address: on Where Can I Find Linux Porters? · · Score: 0

    You'd think he would check with them since this has happened before.

  17. Seriously.... on Mac OS X Intel Kernel Uses DRM · · Score: 0

    I'm so getting tired of computers.

  18. Re:Apple is in catbird seat on Apple's Colossal Disappointment? · · Score: 0

    Yes, this is what I think is going on too... but Apple is being a big tease about it.

  19. Re:Greaaaaaaaat on V For Vendetta Trailer · · Score: 0, Redundant

    yes, they refuse to say the "Wachowski Brothers" now ;)

  20. Re:But it *is* a console game! on Review: Battlefield 2 · · Score: 1

    hmm I believe the 'canned messages' is for people who don't want to / can't use the VoIP feature.

    And how is the keyboard chat an 'afterthought'? Press a button, type, press enter; this seems pretty standard...

    As far as not presenting any examples for PC over console; (Whatever that really means...) I still think playing an FPS game with a gamepad is just silly.

  21. Re:Uh-huh. on Majority Of Customers Prefer Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    But how many libraries of congress will it hold?

  22. Does it also contain.... on Tatooine-like Planet Discovered · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't forget Poland!!!

  24. wow even a star wars movie?!?! on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    Who could imagine a year of crappy movies, including yet another crappy star wars movie could result in a bad box office year!?

    Well we can try to blame people for wanting to watch movies at home...

    No, no. It must be piracy, I'm sorry...

    I wonder what it'll take for them to realize people don't want to pay $20 (ticket+munchies) to see crap.

  25. I am pretty sure on The Rise and Fall of Blogs · · Score: 1

    I never cared about blogs in the first place.
