    I run OSX on my MSI U100... it works great... and i can play video and light gaming...

  2. Re:Don't your phones do *all* of this? on Geek Travel To London From the US — Tips? · · Score: 1

    I don't think lugging my netbook to a hotel room to sit there for a week is a hassle. I can give you the fact that you like to go to clubs and whatnot, but me and my girl are a little more sedate than that.

  3. Re:Don't your phones do *all* of this? on Geek Travel To London From the US — Tips? · · Score: 1

    Laptops are for work for the most part? You've got to be kidding me. I carry my laptop everywhere, and i use it exactly ZERO % of the time for work. That was a very generalized statement that cannot be backed up. When i get back to my wifi enabled hotel at night, i dont want to sit around watching whatever crap is on the hotel tv service.

  4. Re:Read, and comprehend, before spouting quotes. on 1977 Star Wars Computer Graphics · · Score: 1

    Looking for a cheap trackball? Logitech makes one for 30 bucks, which i am using right now, i don't think you are looking hard enough.

  5. Re:Buy a Pre on iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering · · Score: 5, Funny

    I love how you capitalized "Unlimited" as if it really were "Unlimited" I doubt in the dictionary it states the definition of Unlimited to mean "Without limit, except in the case of a 5gb limit"

  6. That seems unfortunate.... on iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering · · Score: 1

    The inability to Downgrade to 3.0, not the tethering thing. It seems they do have this right,as tethering has never been supported, (EVEN ON OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED UNLOCKED PHONES). If you are tethering, you should know not to be an early adopter of any firmware update anyway.

  7. This won't Work on EU Publishers Want a Law To Control Online News · · Score: 5, Insightful

  9. Re:/sarcasm on MacBook's "Unremovable" Battery Easy To Remove · · Score: 1

    My ibook has a faulty hard drive. I did a zero format which seems to have fixed it for now. It would cost me at least $150 to replace it (i only paid 200 for the machine) 54 screws is recockulous, im likely to destroy the machine in the process. I even have a spare hdd :(

  10. Costing Thousands? on Cambridge, Mass. Moves To Nix Security Cameras · · Score: 1

    How is this costing money? To remove them? That tv station must be hard up for content.

  11. Yeah... Ok on Utah Mulls a Database of Bar Customers · · Score: 1

    Utah still has(Had) a firing squad as method of execution until not long ago IIRC. Yeah, this is surprising /sarcasm

  12. What about those of us with low tolerance. on Coffee Can Reduce the Risk of Alzheimer's · · Score: 1

    I cannot drink coffee or I get incredibly manic. I wonder if there is some kind of product that will give the same benefit without the caffiene (does this apply to decaf?)

  13. Re:NPR sucks my bunghole on Penny Arcade On NPR · · Score: 1

    That statement in itself is overly pretentious.

  14. Slashdot used to be the first place i went... on HP Shatters Excessive Packaging World Record · · Score: 1, Redundant

    So its all about the money now? What use is a civil GOVERNMENT prosecution besides to get money?

  19. More Best Buy Shenanigans. on Best Buy Customer Gets Box Full of Bathroom Tiles Instead of Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But seriously, how does one prove that BEST BUY was the one at fault? Goodwill towards customers only extends so far when battling fraud.

  20. Re:And that.... on Growth of E-Waste May Lead to National 'E-Fee' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I do what every self respecting geek does. Fill my basement with hardware going back 20 years... never know what you might need.

  23. Re:calrification on Terabyte DVD Recorder Available Next Month · · Score: 1

    Would they not include a dual layer drive? Do they even make single layer anymore? mmmm calrification.

  24. DESTRUCTION?? on Fallout From Japanese Patent On Help Icon · · Score: 1

    ok, the point of the article, is that all existing stock is destroyed. This is all well and good, but the product will only be off the market till they fix this help system debacle. Hell if it were me id just include a button to open Acrobat with a searchable helpfile...
