  1. Dreamweaver on Sanely Moving from Word to the Web? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I would suggest using Macromedia Dreamweaver... it's what we use where I work and essentially all of our content entry involves pasting in content from Word documents supplied by clients. Dreamweaver is pretty good for formatting and working with stylesheets.

  2. Single-button mice are perfectly fine. on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    To everyone who is bashing Apple's "single-button" design:

    No one cared about your dislike of the single-button design 15 years ago, no one cares now.

    Thanks for coming out, though.

    Last time I reinstalled Windoze was at 3 AM or something.

    Last time I reinstalled my OS was at a similar time of night (morning?), but I installed Debian Linux that time.

    Dude, on a computer, you ARE the pilot, whether you like it or not. There's no such thing as a "passenger" or anything less than a "pilot" when you're using a computer.

    Dude, idunno about the guy you're replying to, but as far as I'm concerned, the OS is called "Windoze". I only call it "Windows" when I have to have some sense of 'professionalism' or whatever. I type "Windoze" without even thinking about it. ;)

    Um... I 'dived' (dumpter dived) a 400mhz celeron PC from behind a computer store last year... only components missing were the HD and video card...

    You'd be amazed what kind of shit people throw out... I have found countless =233mhz Pentium-class motherboards with CPUs (and even more 486 mobos), tons and tons of keyboards, quite a few monitors (best one was a 15" perfectly functional monitor capable of 1024x768 pixel screen size)... Oh yeah I've also got two pentium-based cash register machines here that I 'dived'...

    Umm... maybe DOS? Did they even actually make *that*? I mean, I was GOING to say Windows, but.. you know...

  13. Re:What about on MS Security Chief Says Windows is Safer Than Linux · · Score: 1

    Okay, here's what you do, if you really need your "data" and so on:

    -Take ANY Linux distro install CD.
    -Take ANY Windows install CD.
    -Find two PCs of similar hardware makeup. Install the Linux distro on one, install Windows on the other.
    -Give them each a direct connection to the internet.
    -Go for a lunch break, do something else for 30 minutes.

    When you come back, which computer is still working properly? Which one has viruses and spyware installed all over it, without you *ever even using the computer*?

    I rest my case.

  14. Is this some kind of joke? on MS Security Chief Says Windows is Safer Than Linux · · Score: 1

    What? Is this guy seriously trying to claim that you can gauge a product's level of security by how many security flaws have been FIXED?

    Holy crap, someone needs to lay off the drugs... seriously.

    Okay, well that is now about the sixth time the book Snow Crash has been either recommended to me, or else mentioned in some manner that made me want to read it.

    Why don't I have this freakin book yet? ;)

  23. Re:57 Years Old? on Sims 2 Hacks Spread Like Viruses · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Um, what I'm more curious about is why the hell they arbitrarily chose this "57-year-old Sims 2 player from Pflugerville, Texas".

    I mean, it doesn't get much more obscure than that. Does this woman happen to be a well-known member of a Sims 2 community site or something? Or did they just do a google search for "arbitrary Sims 2 player" and then interview one of the people randomly selected from the list of results?
