  1. Re:Why upgrade now? on Apple Moves to All Dual-Processor Power Mac Lineup · · Score: 1

    if it doesn't break. if it's intended to be replaced in a timely manner. and none of that changes that buying a mac at a date rather far away from the initial offering of the machine makes little economical sense in regards to macs.

  2. Re:Why upgrade now? on Apple Moves to All Dual-Processor Power Mac Lineup · · Score: 1

    because while Dell constantly adapts their prices for the benefit of the customer Apple tends to stick to a current price until a given machine is replaced by a successor (which also happens rather rarely and randomly). For the same price. Which tends to mean that from an economical standpoint it makes less sense to buy a Mac at a random point in time as to compared to a Dell.

    none of which is an option for laptops. unless you want to lug a shitload of external usb devices around and have everyone laugh at you.

    yeah, you only lose the single "big" player in bringing PPC machines to the masses. What now, that PegasOS thing? How many boxes do they sell per month, five? Sorry dude, but your business is doomed and will over the coming years fade into the realm of obscurity and meaninglessnes.

    90 percent of all those scraps never need to make it into any electronic device. and typing a phonenumber again isn't really something I'll break into tears over in sorrow over the time I wasted by not hooking up a pda, walking through some menus and then sending it over... oh... wait...

    I'm curious what our motivation is to rather have Hitler being German instead of Austrian.

  8. Re:Congratulations, you are a great example on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    It is, in fact, not a warzone. The USA is not at war with Iraq. The USA forces are not fighting against the Iraqi army. They are in fact policing the country in post war situation and fight civilians. Now, of course the USA forces act as if it is a war and the local government will do the bidding of the USA and let them do what they want, but it does in my opinion not relieve any questions of the moral implications of having a foreign army set loose and consider them to have a carte blanche to shoot whoever they want.

  9. I'm late to the show, but on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 1

    to me it looks as if that devs beef is actually with most here who comment about how Apple is cool about what is going on while the khtml guys suck for complaining. rtfa, guys :)

  10. Re:Godzilla responsible for Indonesian earthquakes on Breakthrough Decodes 'Classical Holy Grail' · · Score: 1

    no shit sherlock, of course the article is not about the holy grail itself, which is why in my opinion the reference to it must not be included in the headline as it's plain bullshit.

  11. Godzilla responsible for Indonesian earthquakes on Breakthrough Decodes 'Classical Holy Grail' · · Score: 1, Insightful

    brilliant headline for this story, especially as neither any actual decoding nor anything related to the holy grail is involved. Journalism? Yes, on the level of WeeklyWorldNews.

  13. Re:Spoiled by trek on Babylon 5 Theatrical Movie Falls Through · · Score: 1

    And to me DS9 was a load of crap with stiff boring chracters which could hardly act and spent most of an episode moralising about whatever. It only got interesting once they in the last seasons had an ongoing storyline. Like... Babylon5.

  17. Jpeg2000 on Breakthrough In JPEG Compression · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With lossless wavelet compression. That's what I'm still waiting for. As the "2000" indicates it's nothing terribly new but as of yet still misses a big rollout. Yet I'd rather have such a new format than taking an old format with known limitations and adding another layer of crud to get sizes further down.

  20. Re:Actually... on CCC Mods Rent-a-Bike To Allow Free Rides · · Score: 1

    With 10% of all the bikes of that company being hacked it looks like a wee bit too much effort on their side to again and again reflash bikes to just consider it to be done as a challenge anymore. That challenge was there the very first time, every bike since has nothing to do with it anymore. And with the scale of it I myself doubt that the code is not being spread and the damage being neglectable. It's like with cracked software. It might be a challenge to those who do it, but before long it picks up speed and distributes like an avalanche.

  21. bad dog, no biscuit on CCC Mods Rent-a-Bike To Allow Free Rides · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The problem I have with that is that with how often bikes are stolen, vandalised and the initial cost of purchasing them the 6cent per minute might seem costly but appears to be closer to just covering the costs of the service. This is no Robin Hood Hackjob to have those bikes available for free, it's just a way of inching the concept closer to being abandoned by the company. And with by now 10% hacked and this ongoing without publicity for a while they can't honestly claim that it's just for pointing out a security flaw in the system.

  24. it is on Sun's COO Pretends Linux Belongs To Red Hat · · Score: 1

    the distribution redhat publishes is colloquially their linux as only nerds make a distinction into kernel and everything else. The error lies mostly with the overly biased reader. Redhat is one of the, if not the single most successful commercial linux vendor right now making his statement correct. Potentially include Novel, but that's about it.
