  1. Re:Maybe im missing the point on Google Gears is Launched · · Score: 1

    Wow, brilliant, how about i just wait til i have a connection and use my web app then. I guess you never have any time sensitive work you need to complete. You are quite a lucky man.
  2. Re:how is this better on Google Gears is Launched · · Score: 1

    Flash is the devil incarnate and Dojo might be evil as well, after all he sounds oriental. Google on the other hand, does no evil. So that's why its better.

  3. Re:No Safari or Opera Support on Google Gears is Launched · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who thinks the Big 4 browsers should be supported, and not just FireFox/IE?
    Am I the only one that thinks websites should be coded to the standard and browsers that don't imeplement them can be left without?

  4. Re:It's a good thing, then... on MySpace Gets False Positive In Sex Offender Search · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good reason not to use Myspace. If they care so little for the truth, then I won't use them. Then again I never did in the first place.

  5. Is it just me.... on Halo, Nothing But Halo · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is it just me or does Zonk seem pretty excited about Halo 3?

    If I could afford it, I would.

    ArmageddonMUD. Its currently in the end days of the world as it moves away from the IP infringing Dark Sun influence to a completely original mud set in the same universe but jumped forward 500 years.

  9. Re:New: Google Notebook on How Do You Keep Track of Your Web-Based Research? · · Score: 1

    I discovered it a few days ago, I haven't found I needed it yet unfortunately. I thought it would be a great solution to a problem, but it seems the problem hasn't surfaced since I installed it.

  10. Re:Community Managers on MMOG Industry Community Vet Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    I have done a similar job for a medium sized MUD This is why I play and work on a mud that is aimed at adults.
  11. Re:Not Good on Feedburner Sale to Google Confirmed · · Score: 1

    I actually prefer Google Homepage to everything else I've seen so far (including Yahoo's version) when it comes to RSS feeds. Its simple, but I can search from it as well as check on my feeds. And no giant banners like Yahoo.

  12. Re:what exactly does feedburner do? on Feedburner Sale to Google Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Yes, I use them to keep track of my webcomics. I wish more webcomics employed them (of the 23 comics I read 13 don't).

  13. Re:All style, little substance on Feedburner Sale to Google Confirmed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is nothing technologically shattering or innovative about YouTube, so it speaks to volumes that Google paid such a large amount of money to acquire it. Yes, it says Google with all of their name power, is still willing to buy others with name power.
  14. Re:So the market sure is promoting innovation on The Man Who Owns the Internet · · Score: 1

    Because real estate is sold or given away, not lost because you forgot to keep registering the domain name. You don't make profit by people going to one particular real estate property expecting one thing and getting another. Its a world of difference.

    Unfortunately Jack Thompson is foolish all year round.

    Wait, he actually threw a chair? Fuck, I thought it was just a slashdot legend. That man deserves as much ribbing as possible over it.

    You's people's really need to get over your's anger towards misused grammar's.

  18. Re:#6 on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 1

    Those apple ads aren't helping with their "I'm a PC that is a actually a very thinly veiled and sometimes outright Windows machine." I hate those ads.

    The reason dithering is bad is because many people (including myself) can see dithering quite easily Then TFA's wrong and my point is moot. My apologies :)

    being pedantic is more important in legal matters and advertising Maybe in the current law, but I think the spirit of the law is more important then the letter, whereas pedantics will disagree.
  21. Re:It sometimes looks that way on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 1

    You mean all Linux distros are as similar as cars for the average user? Wow. I'll go check out and then I'll judge all the other distros by it. Or y'know, you could stop being so elitist and actually take 2 fucking seconds to help someone whose asked for it.

  22. Re:Yes on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think it is simpler than this. The "average" user...hell, the average person on the street...is an idiot. Yes, I imagine its easy to call people idiots when they aren't interested in the same fields you are. I'm sure lots of scientists think I'm an idiot because I don't understand what they take for granted. Or perhaps they're not so elitist.
  23. Re:Err... on Apple Sued Over 'Lacking' Macbook Display · · Score: 1

    Right, so complain about getting a shitty monitor. Not because the advert says one thing while "technically" the monitor says another, even though no-one can tell one from the other.

  24. Re:sounds like on Student in Court Over Suspension For YouTube Video · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Lunchtime detention or after school detention would be appropriate. Not expelling. Unfortunately it criticized a teacher so the punishment will be disproportionate.

  25. Re:Err... on Apple Sued Over 'Lacking' Macbook Display · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    And I see I've been moderated down for being anti-Apple rather then for any particular reason (IMO overrated is the most abused moderation).
