  1. Re:Changing the "every other version sucks" model? on A New Version of MS Office Every 90 Days · · Score: 1

    I am still using Office 2000 SR3 and OpenOffice. They work fine for me. At work, I have to use the latest versions provided by work. I hate the newer versions with ribbon GUI!

  2. Re:Translation: We Don't Have Gigabit Fiber on Time Warner Cable: No Consumer Demand For Gigabit Internet · · Score: 1

    Also, we can't always hit the maximum too. I know mine doesn't (10 Mb/sec). :(

  3. Re:Change internet providers every year on Six-Strikes System Starts In U.S. · · Score: 1

    After two small cities, I only had one decent broadband service (cable). No DSL and FIOS in both Verizon areas. Dial-up suck at 3 KB/sec. Frak satellite.

  4. Re:Napster on dial-up on Napster: the Day the Music Was Set Free · · Score: 1

    Heh. I still have some of those downloaded MP3s from 1997! Before Napster, I remember using FTP search, hosting server, etc. on my dial-up modems (14.4k too!)!

    All types of women including unattractive ones? :P

  12. Re:I'm serious on Sony Exercising Its Acquisition of GaiKai, Plans To Stream Games To PS4 · · Score: 1

    Same for computers! Anyways, I stopped gaming and using these non-game softwares because of these craps. I will use others that don't do this. DRM FTL. Future sucks and not fun. :(

    I still wear one and don't use mobile phones since I am disabled and can't hold a smartphone correctly. A calculator watch works well for simple tasks. I'd like to see an PDA type like it. I know they exist, but they are big and heavy. :(

    So does Justin! https://twitter.com/jtimberlake ;)

    Not even baby goats?

  25. Re:My report: 6 months without using Flash on New Adobe Flash Vulnerabilities Being Actively Exploited On Windows and OS X · · Score: 1
