  1. Re:A useful recommendation... on CERT Recommends Mozilla, Firefox · · Score: 1

    I just have to note that you should NOT blame this on Firefox. For that page loads perfectly in 0.8 in Fedora Core 2, and 0.9 in Windows. I have never had Firefox crash in my experience. Ever. IE has crashed numerous times. Therefore, if it can work perfectly on many systems (I am referring to more than just my two), it is NOT Firefox's fault.

  2. You insensitive clod! on Should Colleges Monitor Students' PCs? · · Score: 1

    You can't ban people just because they have a Mycobacterium Avium Complex!

    Or did you mean people with Macintoshes? Of course, that's also intolerant!

    ...insensitive clod...

  3. Oh... on Intel Puts the Lock on Overclocking · · Score: 1

    So the FASTEST chips are supposed to be unoverclockable. Dang. Now I can't oc that 3.6GHz chip. :(

  4. I'm confused... on Microsoft's Rush To Xbox 2 A Danger? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Microsoft is bad for rushing to release XBOX 2. Microsoft is bad for pushing back the deadline for Longhorn so they can make it better. Nice logic, everyone.

  5. sigh. on Theora I Bistream Format Frozen · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I actually am sick of new formats. A video is a video is a video, to me. If I can watch it, and it has a fairly managable file size, it's good enough for me.

  6. Three Step Process on Using a Password One Doesn't Consciously Remember · · Score: 0

    Step 1: Give password prompt. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Log in. I suppose it will also inevitably lead to profit.

  7. I was surprised... on Porn Beats Search Engines in Internet Traffic · · Score: 0

    ..that the report does not cite that over 80% of internet porn traffic is directed to furniture pr0n.

  8. are you joking. on Phone As Your Next Computer? · · Score: 0

    in my opinion, a good opinion on this. despite some radical comments, this is pretty good.

  9. a major step for java? i think not. on First Java AP Computer Science Exam Complete · · Score: 0

    this test (computer science A, our school didn't offer AB) was NOT a major step for java in my opinion.

    it was incredibly easy; at this level of programming, you might as well have known c++ and then just some of the changes. since this was the first year to have the exam in java, our teacher gave us a copy of the c++ exam from last year, and after explaining the minor differences such as between System.out.println() and cout, etc., it was apparent that at THIS level, we could do all of those questions and do equally well as in java.

    for instance, all that the free response required was as such:(hypothetically that is...in case there's some collegeboard people seeing this..:D) loops, if/else statements, single-dimension arrays, and basic knowledge of how to work with boolean logic and ArrayLists.

    is this a major step for java? it certainly is not. c++ is (in my opinion) easier to learn, and with that you can get acclimated to java in a week...at this level. at least that's how it was for me.

  10. Re:Idea for a virus on The World of Virus Writers · · Score: 0

    You know, I do belive it already exists... It's called "signing up for free on the front page." :P

  11. If MS is too slow... on Open Source Firm Releases Patch for IE Bug [UPDATED] · · Score: 0

    If the open-source community is able to put out a patch to fix vulnerabilities faster than Microsoft, this could happen more often. If it happens more often, then perhaps Microsoft could just stop trying to patch its own OS and programs altogether. Just a speculation, not too likely.
    i just know that MS won't speed up their patching to beat the open-source community. :)

  12. Re:A hair dryer can lift 2500 lbs.? on Money Problems May Derail First U.S. MagLev Train · · Score: 0

    seems to me that these hair dryers are taking just a wee bit much power... hoorah for towels!! other than that, this $14 mil is going to use.

  13. a better alternative on Money Problems May Derail First U.S. MagLev Train · · Score: 0

    of course, we can all see that the much more practical alternative to the maglev would be the segway. it's only $4,000 and ships in less than 24 hours.

  14. curses on Kazaa-lite Shut Down · · Score: 0, Redundant

    and i was just about to download it to get some songs i REALLY need. that's super great. on the other hand, now i'm not doing anything illegal, and that's always good.

  15. who cares for low price at this stage? on New Low Cost DVD Burners Hit The Streets · · Score: 1

    despite the low price, i'd have to say that i'm still waiting for the majority of dvd burners to come sub-$100. once that has happened, i can be sure that i'm actually getting quality for my money.
