    I mean seriously, what else would he have to do to get your respect?

    Do it legally.

    That's Greedo, sorry. ;)

    Hey, fat chicks need loving too. Only, they gotta pay!

  4. Re:FAQ from the SerialATA.org website on Serial ATA Coming · · Score: 1

    Um, yeah, and you know what, in 10 years when we have SATA3 the CD/DVD specs will be exactly the same, and the SATA3 CD/DVD drives will be able to read your old discs. The only issue is with hard drives because the reader is integrated with the media.

  5. Re:The precedent on Pennsylvania Law Requires ISPs to Block Child Porn · · Score: 1

    Except that child porn also legally includes fantasy drawings or writing of children in sexual situations, which does not harm children.

    Hey, isn't that Estella Warren, the girl from Driven?

  7. Re:Overclocking their HDD, eh? on IBM 120GXP Revisited · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IDE gets its clock from the PCI bus, so anytime an overclock raises that above 33.3MHz, the hard drives are overclocked.

    Way to go, literalboy.

  9. Re:Whacking MS Memes on Microsoft, zlib, and Security Flaws · · Score: 2

    Yeah, and the original poster said that MS always achieved widespread patching.

  10. The worst part... on Canada to Raise Tariffs on Recordable Media · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... is that this will make all the other recording companies that much bolder. Considering how close Canada and the US are physically, socially, and economically, it's not a huge leap to have the companies push for it to extend here for "consistency." This is a damn steep slope.

  11. Re:Trust ?? on Turnitin.com - Placebo for Plagiarism or Worse? · · Score: 1

    I agree, it's the same kind of trust gained by making your children take drug tests.

  13. Re:So basically, they ignored all suggestions on All MS Settlement Comments Now Online · · Score: 2

    The thing is, 3 years ago when BeOS R5 was released, it had very good PnP. Compare it to Win98, that's what it was really competing with. What you're doing is like saying XP has better PnP than Linux 2.2, or whatever an appropriately old version would be. If Be hadn't been killed, the modern version would be very slick.

  14. Re:Sometimes I think.... on Microsoft Seeks Dismissal with 9 Dissenting States · · Score: 1

    I did that too, in the first 5 minutes, and mine never got rebooted except to install new video drivers. Not to defend MS, but it's entirely possible you had a hardware issue.

  15. Re:Why AMD won the battle before it even began on Two Approaches to the Next-Generation Desktop · · Score: 1

    That has everything to do with the fact that you're running an MX, War3 has a complex 3D engine that requires serious graphics power. A little more CPU might help, but it's not what's keeping you back.

    If they had a monopoly then sure, it could.

  17. Re:What exactly happened with SiS735? on Socket-A Chipset Roundup · · Score: 2

    You shouldn't be expecting stability out of generic RAM anyway, I always use Crucial even in my good motherboards precisely because you can never tell with the generic variety, so the savings ARE real.

  18. Re:Uhh.. on Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.1.3 · · Score: 1

    And on what basis do you make the statement that it means most people are wrong? At least that usage of "beg the question" is logical, as opposed to "I could care less!"

  19. Re:mac ghettos on Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.1.3 · · Score: 1

    Some of us don't want to use an external pointing device with a laptop. That's one of the very few things making it hard to decide whether to get a TiBook.

    So you answer a user's request by saying he really wants something else? No, you need more REAL mouse buttons.

    So you're saying that a system integrator has no right to sell a Windows machine with any additional software without MS's permission?

  23. Re:*cough* PoerPC *cough* on What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium? · · Score: 1

    What metric would YOU present as unbiased? I'm really curious here. Please present some evidence that the G4 is as fast as a double speed Athlon in some generic benchmark. Don't even mention Photoshop.

  24. Re:Normalise the scores to clockspeed. on What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium? · · Score: 1
    I'll just reply to your subject line, the rest doesn't warrant it:


    Why normalize to clockspeed? PPC chips are engineered for lower clockspeed and a greater IPC. Normalizing to clockspeed would give them an unfair advantage. You have to measure at what's available, fact is Athlons are available at a higher speed than PPCs.
