  5. Re:3 steps on Dell We'd Sell Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If your post is true, then please help me understand how Bose can price-fix their speakers. It is impossible to find Bose speakers for cheaper than their store prices. Why does the US allow this if Apple can't tell Dell, HP or whoever how much they can charge?

  6. "THY" Master!!!! on Alienware's Star Wars PCs · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't it be: "What is thy bidding, my master?"

  7. WMP? on Toshiba Demonstrates Cell Microprocessor · · Score: 3, Informative

    I swear the screenshot looks like it is WMP... I can't believe that windows is going to work on the CELL. Anybody have any info on what OS will be supported (other than the Toshiba OS?)

  8. Re:Controversial Toolbar? on Google Adds Features and Plugin to Desktop Search · · Score: 1

    And how is this different from any of the other toolbars google has provided? While this is true, it does not differ itself from Google's other toolbars. I believe the article was pointing out that it is specifically Toolbar 3 that was in question.

    It is controversial because of copyright stuff. Our wise editors forgot to provide a link.

  11. Re:It's more like ion polution on First Artificial Aurora May Lead to Night Sky Ads · · Score: 1

    I thought that the reason Freon was so bad was because of how inert it is. Its the fact that it is just sitting around taking up space that is such a bad thing, not that it is destroying anything.

    What's up with the link to Bill Clinton:

    It doesn't seem to go to the right place or am I missing something?

  14. Re:Gmail spam on Some Ways To Avoid Spam On Gmail · · Score: 1

    I think I understand what the bolding is for.

    What's the purpose of the Spam folder then, if you have to check it anyway? All you are doing is adding an additional step if I have to look at them anyway. I would much rather get notified of Spam say monthly or weekly, and then I can sort through and look for messages that shouldn't be marked as Spam. Who wants to get notified every few hours (minutes for some unlucky people) that they have spam? What I'm sick of is always having it bolded with a number after it. I can think of a lot of possibilities that would be more useful:

    Daily/Weekly/Monthly/etc notifications with pertient information contained

    Don't delete automatically. Instead, create a threshhold (say 10 Messages/1MB/etc) that once you reach it, you then get notified that you have to deal with spam. You get to choose the threshold level. It could be both total size, or number of messages, or both.

  16. Re:Gmail spam on Some Ways To Avoid Spam On Gmail · · Score: 1

    but for some reason I still find it annoying to see ANY spam

    I completely agree.

    I have written to gmail regarding the bolded "Spam (1)" but so far have not seen any change. I would like to see a setting that allows me to NOT be notified of new spam. Its a constant irritant for me to see that (1) and not do something about it.

    Help me out and write google that you would like more customization on the Spam filter settings!

  17. Re:Is it any coincidence on Google Suggest · · Score: 1

    my comment regarding Tara Reid was not aimed at someone describing to me who she is, because I did in fact search and found out that she is an actress, somewhat attractive, etc, but am still confused as to why she is the "number 1 result" (if you will) for the letter "T". What interested me, is the fact that pretty much all other results were what I consider to be "computer-related" (amazon, ebay, etc fits this category because they are online shops). Paris Hilton wins the P category because of her lovely video and for being who she is...but Tara Reid? Who the fuck is she?! Make sense?
