  1. Re:Many publicly available time servers on Set Your Clocks With Pooled NTP Servers · · Score: 1

    It's not special. This is a bunch of crap. NTP is very low bandwidth and I wouldn't want to sync to a pool that'll give me the time incorrectly 10% of the time.

  2. Re:HOLY CRAP on Open Maps? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you thought that was cool, wait till you see map24.com

  3. Re:mwahaha on Testing didtheyreadit.com's Mail-Tracking Claims · · Score: 1

    Won't work, the html specifies a 1x1 pixel image. Goatse isn't very shocking scaled down to that size.

  4. Re:Use IP Addressing again? on Berners-Lee on the TLD Explosion · · Score: 1

    It works in IE 6 here, XP home SP1 + all IE patches.

  5. Re:FreeCache of Flash on Developers Simulate Macintosh System 7 in Flash · · Score: 1

    Freecache doesn't cache anything less than 5 megabytes.

  6. Re:Not quite... on U.S. Will Use Robots to Patrol Water Supply · · Score: 1

    At least they don't think that NYC is the World.

  8. Re:Let me tell you how it differs. on Corporate Work in the US vs. Canada? · · Score: 1

    Shutup. Flash is cool. A lot of creativity would be missing on the web without it. Have you noticed that the flash-only sites aren't popular? They'll slowly learn their lesson.

  9. Re:Maybe... on FairPlay v2 Reversed, Playfair Back Online · · Score: 1

    He wasn't. ACs start at 0.

  10. Re:Top-posting :( on ExtremeTech Reviews Google's Gmail Beta · · Score: 1

    I disagree. I'd rather see the newest reply at the very top so I don't have to scroll. If everyone top-posted, the world would be a better place.

  11. Re:Mirror of Quicktime video on Megway - New Competition For The Segway · · Score: 1

    Hey. I'm going to need to take this offline in about half an hour. About 300 people have downloaded it. Please setup a mirror and reply here. Thanks!

  12. Mirror of Quicktime video on Megway - New Competition For The Segway · · Score: 4, Informative

    Mirror of the quicktime video here

  13. Hey on Megway - New Competition For The Segway · · Score: 4, Funny

    Someone call that guy that posts in every segway discussion so he can clarify how great the segway is.

    Windows kicks ass

  15. Re:This just in on New Quantum Cryptography Speed Record · · Score: 1

    You'll only get the photon if you intercept the path of the photon. It doesn't work like putting a mirror next to a desklamp. But I know you know that.

  16. Re:One thing about photoshop! on The Gimp from the Eyes of a Photoshop User · · Score: -1, Troll

    Photoshop is great, but you CAN run it under Linux.

    That's funny. Are you implying there's no great Linux programs?

  17. Re:Question on Thermoacoustic Cooler Means Green-Friendly Icecream · · Score: 1

    You're assuming none of those challenges can be solved. Basically, just make it so that there's some tube to the outside but can be closed by some fridge CPU. If it's too cold, close it; if it's summer, close it; if the temperature changes, close it or use some algorithm to keep it consistent with help from the fridge cooler as well; if the door opens, close it.

  18. It's because... on OS Independent Games? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    nobody wants to reboot their computer. Rebooting often takes a while because you have to save, close apps, and it can sometimes strain hardware such as harddrives.

  19. Re:Bah! on Fourteen Digital Music Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Thanks for that explanation, I've always been wondering about it.

  20. Re:Bah! on Fourteen Digital Music Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The word "kind" makes me wonder what "kind" of stick the apple UI designers had up their ass. Everybody says "type" and it makes perfect sense, why does apple want to sound stupid and insult users by thinking they can't understand what "type" means?

  22. english on Conectiva Linux 9 Review · · Score: -1, Troll

    Here's an english review...

    Oh thank god! I was expecting something in a foreign language.

  24. The problem is on The Trouble With Using D&D Rules In Videogames? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Problem is that D&D's number-crunching sucks and instead of focusing on giving the player a thousand numbers to concern himself with, it'd be better to make a fun game.
