  1. VOD on The One-Use, Self-Destructing DVD Returns · · Score: 1

    I'd just rather use video on demand with my cable company, or download via Xbox live. Why even go to staples, driving across town?

  2. Re:What Happened When HD-DVD Gave Up on Toshiba Going After Blu-ray? · · Score: 1

    I can't find a player other than a PS3. I already have an Xbox 360. I have this brand new TV, and can't use it to its full advantage unless I play the XBox or get a movie off of XBox Live. You see, my cable company has a waiting list for the HD boxes. My parents went through the same thing 1000 miles away. I would LOVE to get a player, and movies, that would use the HD part of my TV. But it's not going to happen any time soon. Had I known that I couldn't even get an HD box from my cable company, I would have spent my money elsewhere. What a waste.

  3. Re:What's the draw? on Guillermo del Toro Will Direct "The Hobbit" · · Score: 1

    There are some college courses on some rather lame subjects; you will have to do better than that, I think! I feel the works are overrated, and I, for one, won't be intimidated into saying I liked them. For me, they were unreadable. I'm not the only person who felt that way, either.

  4. Re:Just a matter of proper ordering... on ICANN Moves Against GoDaddy Domain Lockdowns · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They won't even let me transfer after the lockdown. It just won't transfer. So now I paid a new place, and Godaddy, and they are holding it hostage. They also didn't send a renewal notice and didn't charge my card for my more popular domain name, and sold it to a squatter. For whatever reason my firstlastname.com is popular, I guess. And now I don't have it. Squatter has had it for a while, too, I guess it wasn't as popular as they speculated, or they thought that I would pay extra to get my own name back. They can keep it. It was all done through Godaddy's program of 'these are things expiring do you want to sit on it and grab it' that they have.

  5. Re:Never had a drive fail on Disk Failure Rates More Myth Than Metric · · Score: 1

    I wish I had your luck.

  6. Nursing is SOOOOOO EASY. on Does It Suck To Be An Engineering Student? · · Score: 1

    The author really needs to change majors, if you ask me. Meanwhile, you think engineering sucks as a student? Come back to me after you've changed the diaper of an 80 year old man who can't speak. Or did post mortem care on a child. No, nursing is EASY. It's just fluffing pillows, right?

  7. Re:Mac users from way back on Learning Unix for Mac OS X Panther · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's only after years of experience with other operating systems, other computers, that I made the decision to switch to a Mac. Mac users I find can be very technical, just 'differently technical'. Technical doesn't mean "knows *nix". Maybe here, but not in the rest of the big wide world. . .
