  1. Re:I'm sorry... on Uwe Boll Spills His Guts · · Score: 3, Funny

    Uwe Boll might be the world's greatest misunderstood filmmaking genius.

    Oh, now I remember!

  2. Re:Narrow-minded, are you? on How Can Tech Help Fight Education Costs? · · Score: 1

    I just got your comment on meda-moderation, and I couldn't believe you're labeled as Troll. Guess one can't speak truths anymore.

  3. Re:Ok all you web designers out there .... on Windows Guru Calls For IE7 Boycott · · Score: 1

    It's not fair play, because in the end it is the user who's always losing. I'm all for recomending Firefox (or unrecomending IE) but as long as it doesn't ruin the experience dor anyone.

  4. Re:HP doesn't need Kay. on HP Fires Father of OOP · · Score: 1

    Change is bad, Microsoft blew $5B on the Xbox project so far simply to keep sony from possibly threatening the windows empire with the ps2.

    Even if it was an accident, at least they innovated and built a good console. Not that I'd buy one, I'm more of a PC guy.

  5. Re:Windows Scripting 101 on What's the Best Way to Handle Scripting Under XP? · · Score: 1

    |\|ewb13 |_4m3r windows-lover you're so0o0o0o 1ame!!!!! y0u.. ...should have used 'Hello World'. Other than that, I agree.

  6. Re:For all we know on Linux Desktops in New Zealand Schools · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying it's a license for all computers, but I doubt Suse would charge them the full retail price for a volume license, or it would be cheaper to stay with Windows.

  7. Re:Back To The Status Quo on MS Urging Developers To Prep For IE 7 · · Score: 1

    The proper way to do things is to build a site that works before even adding CSS. Once you have your content in a presentable manner, then you add CSS.

    I'm sorry but that's just plain wrong. If you follow the latest W3C recommendations, use let's say XHTML Strict + CSSand build a full table-less layout, you're unlikely to get it presentable before adding the style sheet.

  8. Re:Modularised code will always have this problem. on Zlib Security Flaw Could Cause Widespread Trouble · · Score: 1

    Or would you rather all the bugs be found by the bad guys (this one was found by the Gentoo security team)?

    I wonder how long it took them to emerge their minds after finding the bug...

  9. Re:Interesting thought experiment... on Windows 24 Hr Vulnerabilty Patch - Would It Help? · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem here is with the home users, not the sysadmins. You're probably aware that most of them don't use "guinea pig" machines, and have little reason to do so. I do believe a 24-hour release guarantee, plus the Windows default being automatic download and install of patches would certainly help. As for large networks, that option would usually be disabled..

  10. Re:Seriously: other big Windows software... on Getting Rich Writing Mac Software · · Score: 1

    Games? A year from now, we'll be seeing Windows games getting ported to the Mac.

    Yeah right.

  11. And then... on Cheap to Audiophile with Simple Hacks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the end, get another brand-new player and someone to help you double-blind test it. And please, broadcast it live on the net.

  12. Not again.. on Perl's Chip Salzenberg Sued, Home Raided · · Score: 1

    No matter how many times it shows up, "King of Prussia, PA" always makes me laugh my ass out.

  13. April 1st, 1995 on MySQL Mug and Ten Years of MySQL and PHP · · Score: 1

    Those liars.

  14. It all depends... on Game To Play During Lunch? · · Score: 1

    On what kind of games you like.

    Anyway a standard game of Quake3 or any of its MODs (eg. Urban Terror) usually lasts for 20 minutes, and it ain't that demanding on hardware.

  15. Re:LOTR? on From Alien to The Matrix · · Score: 1

    But you see, Star Wars at least has some pseudo-scientific stuff going on. In LOTR there are only trees and magic...

  16. LOTR? on From Alien to The Matrix · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but what exactly has LOTR to do with SF?

  17. Re:So what happened to this reporter? Cancer? on Censored Nagasaki Bomb Story Found · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh sure, killing japanese civilians is fine but allied soldiers never!

  18. Re:I still don't get it.. on Desktop Linux on x86 - Adapt or Die · · Score: 2, Informative

    As the parent pointed out, that won't change, it will stay exactly the same. Those who want an alternative with their current hardware will still go for linux, and those who don't mind buying new stuff will either pay for a mac or not, as they would today. The only thing that might change for the end user is the price, and there's no guarantee it will..

  19. Re:MacOS X Server? on Essential Mac OS X Server Administration · · Score: 1

    What's next? Windows Servers?

  22. Macau? on 2 Million Azeroth Citizens · · Score: 1

    I don't really get the macau reference. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful place but it's population is less then half a milion, and of course most of them won't play Warcraft. I just can't see what difference it would/will make.

  23. Re:Sigh... on Jamie Zawinski Switches to Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    I have now switched from Windows to a Linux desktop and got sound working in all apps installed within a few days of switching.

    In a few days? Now I really don't understand what these people are talking about, sound in linux rules. You don't even need a month to get it working, what more could you possibly want?

  24. Re:Well, that goes a long way... on Apple to Recycle your iPod for Free · · Score: 1

    Hey but that could harm the US's economy!!!

  25. Re:Not a true test. on Morse Coders Beat SMSers · · Score: 1

    Secondly they used TAP method which is outdated and inefficient. Predictive text input is much faster.

    It's not. It might be in some cases such as 5 year olds with very limited vocabulary, but for general typing it certainly isn't. At least that's my experience, and I tend to write at least a thousand SMS every month - I know it's not that much by today's standards.
