  1. Re:Uptime on Broadband Over Power Lines: Coming Soon? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Firstly, my power goes out a million times more than my DSL ever has. Even if that weren't true for everyone, it's very naive to think that just because you still have power, your BPL will automatically still work. My DSL has gone out while still having a connection to my ISP. There are too many things along the line to just assume if one works, they all do.

  2. Re:Whoa on Comcast Wants To Buy Disney For $66 Billion · · Score: 1

    I think the parent was talking about Apple going out of business (something we heard constantly in the 90s), not Pixar.

  3. Re:Andy Wharhol on Author signs MyDoom virus · · Score: 1

    If there's a comma "Thanks, Andy" then it is addressed from Andy. No comma, "Thanks Andy" would be addressed to Andy.

    Actually, direct address always requires a comma. For example: "Thanks, Andy, for writing that virus." "Andy, thanks for writing that virus." "Thanks for writing that virus, Andy."

  4. Re:iTMS Canada must be opening soon! on Recycle some of your 100 million Pepsi Songs · · Score: 1

    ...or it could just be cheaper to print one set of labels and caps during the promotion and distribute them, rather than making two versions of everything, keeping them all separate, and figuring out which ones go to which distrubutor...

  5. Re:More good quotes... on FBI Agent Talks Crime, Macs · · Score: 1

    Wow, have you used a Mac in the past 10 years? I can't say that didn't all used to be true, but you should try updating your arguments for this century.

    P.S. Darwin is open source.

  6. Re:Hero? Give me a break (OT) on Shawn Fanning's New Venture · · Score: 1

    I read that Edward Norton was essentially contractually forced to be in it. As for Marky Mark... who knows.

  7. Re:omgwtf on When Geeks Go Camping · · Score: 1

    Ha ha ha. Why is it that homophobic bullshit like this always gets modded up? Grow up.
