  1. Re:Brilliant! Simply brilliant! on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    I was honestly waiting for these items to be renamed very non-specificly like "Things" and "Stuff" and "Places"

    "Ok now go to your places.."
    "Right click on stuff... now drag that to things... THERE!"

    "No, it's not Linux or BSD"

    well, of course not.. it is, afterall, a MICROSOFT XBox...

  6. Ugh... on Netscape 8.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Ugh!! The interface sux0rs. takes too much space. And it's too slow, IMO. I'll stick with firefox.

  7. /. worthy? on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Is this submission really /. worthy? hrmm.. i guess a bit of goofyness on a Monday morning can't be all bad. *lets guard down a bit*

  8. Physics Hardware? on The Xbox 360 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    I was reading about PPU in a magazine the other day... It's a separate PCI card that handles physics in video games (to be utilized more and more).

    Does the XBOX 360 or PS3 have any special hardware to handle *just* the in-game physics?

  9. Bottom Line: on Cars that Can't Crash? · · Score: 1

    if they build it, a florida driver can crash it.. THAT'S a guarantee...

  15. Argh..... on Meetup.com Ends Free Meetups · · Score: 1

    About a year before this site opened, I considered developing the exact same idea for the website (kicks self in ass over and over again).

  16. Re:We're getting there on Google Experiments with Video Blogging · · Score: 1
    Yes, though I do think we'll find more and more video embedded into webpages containing video... Thumbnails that are tiny movie versions of the video (much like the scene selections on many DVDs).. I see a page full of thumbnails, all of them playing tiny movies... You select which one you want to watch. Sure, it's a different experience than browing Photoblogs. Takes a bit more time..

    And, yeah, right now there is no way to skim video efficiently (esp through the web). But that's not to say it's unforseeable that there be a solution to this.

    I'll bet Google finds a way. They're good like that ;)

  17. Re:Counter-counter-attack on Firefox Improves Pop-Up Ad Blocking · · Score: 1

    It's sortof like the RIAA fighting and closing down P2P protocols. Shut one down, another stronger, trickier method emerges. :) I just hope Mozilla can keep on top of them!

  18. We're getting there on Google Experiments with Video Blogging · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think it's only a short matter of time before there are VideoBlogs just like Photoblogs that are all over the net.. It's really a question of video compression and bandwidth. Eventually, though, once everyone has a video camera on their cell phone and mobile networks' bandwith has improved, we'll see that migration to videoblogs.

  19. Heh.. The problems of the future on "Body Talk" Could Control Gadgets · · Score: 4, Funny
    "Hey Steve! Did you finish that report I assigned you?"

    *Steve Nods*

    *arm movement triggers cell-phone ringtone demo system*

    "BAH!" yells Steve.

    *Vocal command automatically dials 911, police are dispatched*

    "Calm down, Steve! You're only making it worse! Stop!"

    *Voice command "Stop" recognized on Steve's computer, closing all programs*

    "Noooo!!"

    "Help!"

    *Police department dialed a second time, ambulances dispatched*

    "We can't stop it!! It's too laaaate!"

    Supreme Court: So? We're really only concerned about AMERICAN piracy here. *sighs from the RIAA, smiles from Techie*

  21. Re:Why? on Millions of Pages Google Hijacked using ODP Feed · · Score: 1

    Ah, I guess it is the American way to find something popular or successful and latch onto it like those little fish that latch on to sharks.

  22. Why? on Millions of Pages Google Hijacked using ODP Feed · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Why is it seemingly man's mission to "bring down" something that seems to provide such a great service for everyone?

    "Oh! Look! Something beautiful! Something impressive! I must destroy it!"

    pah. feeling jaded today, i guess.
