  1. Re:Have you tried Corned Beef? on Apple Cuts Off Linux iPod Users · · Score: 2, Informative

    On the internets these days, ftw means For The Win.

  2. Re:Thank you, brave gamma testers... on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: 1

  3. A la Bash.org on One In Five Windows Installs Is Non-Genuine · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    22%? That's almost 25%!

  4. Re:Is it just me? on Microsoft Cheaper For Web Serving? · · Score: 1
    Microsoft works out cheaper in the long run? Because of the new power saving features in the OS?

    Incidently, according to the itemized costs, Linux cost less to power.

  5. Item-by-item comparison on Microsoft Cheaper For Web Serving? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Isn't it strange that, in all categories but labor, the Linux solution was much cheaper? Why would it use less bandwidth? Why would the network infrastructure be cheaper?

    In any case, I'm tired of TCO stories. Every last one of them is flamebait, and now I've read my last one.

  6. Re:Answer is on Do Big Screens Make Employees More Productive? · · Score: 1
    Very convenient if you work a lot with e-mail, IMs, try to debug Java code in Eclipse and read all that RSS feeds simultaneously
    Maybe if you closed your email, IM client, and RSS aggregator, you wouldn't only be *trying* to debug Java code :)
  7. Re:Ubuntu has already won on Mandriva 2007 Released · · Score: 1
    I still 'sudo su' because frankly, when I need root, it's not just for one command and all that
    The command "sudo -s" invokes a root shell.
  8. Re:That's Because... on Noise Over Mac OS Market Share "Slip" · · Score: 1

    That's not what I heard... I've heard more logic board horror stories than I care to recount. Not to mention this battery I've got to send in...

    I love Apple, but you can't pretend that they don't have their problems :)

    BURN!

  10. Re:Potentially no marketing cost...... on A Working Economy Without DRM? · · Score: 1
    Me, myself, I tend to be a huge "pirate", but I'll pay for something I think is worth it, even after getting it for free. That can't be said for most.
    Sorry if this seems to be directed at you, but I'm going to rant a bit. I can't help but roll my eyes at people who freely admit to pirating copyrighted material as though it were nothing wrong, and immediately afterwards cast themselves in a noble light by saying that they pay for it if they like it. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. If it's worth it to you to keep it on your hard drive, it's worth obtaining legitimately.
  11. Re:Grammar Nazi... on Walmart Tries to Emulate MySpace · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    The only acceptable time for "trys" is when you're on the way to "tryst".

    First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.
  12. Myspace on Immaturity Level Rising in Adults · · Score: 3, Funny

    Case in point: How many "adults" have a myspace account? I'll admit it...

  13. Re:Oh no! on AppleBerry Predicted? · · Score: 1

    ha! If I had mod points, you'd get some, troll or not.

  14. Grammar nazi! on Net Neutrality Bill in Congress · · Score: 5, Funny
    According to this NetworkWorld article, the new bill sponsored by Democratic Representatives Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Jay Inslee of Washington state, Anna Eshoo of California and Rick Boucher of Virginia in the House and Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon in the Senate.

    I would like to point out that every sentence should have a verb. Except maybe this one.

    Amazon Linky Apparently, it's coming out on DVD in June! Put it in your queue!

  16. Re:Cheaper than outsourceing to India on Summer of Code 2006 is On · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is not work for Google in particular, but for open source projects in general. In my opinion, it is an excellent way to get young people to get involved with open source, as they are offered monetary incentive. This is unusual for an unproven developer joining any open source project, I think.

  17. Perfect timing on Comparison of Pandora and Last.fm · · Score: 5, Funny

    This article has perfect timing; I go to Last.fm only to find that their streaming servers are down for upgrades...

  18. It's HOT in Waterloo on Homebrew Air Conditioning for Under $25 · · Score: 1

    I was just in Waterloo for the CMS conference, and I was expecting a nice change from the Alabama summer that seeemed imminent, but at least we have air conditioning in our dorms!!! Hats off to you.

  19. Down with redundant headlines! on Factors Found in 200-Digit RSA Challenge · · Score: 1

    FWIW: ANY factorization of a number into two primes is unique, as any number is uniquely factored into primes.

  20. Re:Why so many MSN Search stories? on MSN Search - From A UI Perspective · · Score: 2, Informative

    The result you cite is obviously a placed result, not among the real search results. It's in a little block that says "Sponsored sites". Compare the first few results from MSN and google:

    Strange, I would've called it a first first post post.
