  1. Re:Great, but is it fireproof? on Paper Stronger Than Cast Iron · · Score: 1

    I suddenly had an image of Japanese-style paper walls made of this stuff. Whew! Finally some protection against attacks from rival ninja clans.
  2. Re:Worse than ignorance, it's iggerunt. on Cisco Offices Raided, Execs Arrested In Brazil · · Score: 1

    Portuguese or Spanish, it matters not. Both are Romance languages (derived from Latin) so it is still correct to refer to it as part of Latin America.
    Disclaimer: IAMTAB (I am married to a Brazilian). You are, of course, spot-on in your reply to the flamer -- minus the Latin American thing. Brazilians (that I've met, esp. here in the 'States) often don't consider themselves Latin, perhaps they wish to be set apart from the surrounding Spanish-speaking countries, I don't know for sure. What I do know, is making that particular social mistake is likely to get you an ear-full. :-)
  3. Lady Sia on Must-Have GBA Games For Big Screen? · · Score: 1

    Lady Sia is a great platformer that went almost completely unnoticed when it was released. It has gorgeous backgrounds and animations that really shine when viewed on a TV. Playing it on a TV also made it easier to deal with the brutal hit-detection in the game.

  4. Re:I've got it, too... on 12" PowerBook Wobble? · · Score: 1

    Same thing happened to me. I ended up returning the 12" for the 15" and I've been pretty happy about it (though I miss the smaller size). My 12" got amazingly hot on top where you place your hands to type. So hot it would make my hands sweat while coding. The wobble absolutely got worse the hotter it got.

  5. Actual Windows Beer Ad... on Windows 99 Beer and Cigarettes · · Score: 2

    Or at least a picture of the bottles:
