  1. Re:User Guide anyone? on MythTV 0.25 Released, New HW Acceleration and Audio Standards Support · · Score: 1

    Some of us want to watch The Walking Dead, MythBusters, South Park, etc. legally and can't be watched OTA. :P

  2. Re:I use it on a Mac Mini on MythTV 0.25 Released, New HW Acceleration and Audio Standards Support · · Score: 1

    I always thought satellite TV's feeds were better than cable for HD feeds. I know OTA has the best quality if one can get it where they are.

  3. Re:Best place for electronics???? on Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn Resigns After $1.7 Billion Loss · · Score: 1

    Because some of us want to see the products in person, same day/a few hours instead of waiting for days, etc.

    What about Chinese Americans?

    Prove it. /.ers don't have either! :P

  8. Bah to wifi. on 42% of Worldwide Households Expected To Have Wi-Fi By 2016 · · Score: 1

    I will stick with regular cables for non-portable devices like desktops. I hate having unstable connections, interferences, etc.

  9. Re:uhh... does anyone still use mutt? on Mutt Fork Adds Features From Notmuch · · Score: 1

    Hehe, yeah that too. Also, to check suspicious web sites. Old school stuff are still useful! :)

  10. Re:uhh... does anyone still use mutt? on Mutt Fork Adds Features From Notmuch · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I do too. I forgot to mention that I rarely use text web browsers like eLinks. Maybe for very quick check when I don't care for images, formattings, layouts, etc.

  11. Re:uhh... does anyone still use mutt? on Mutt Fork Adds Features From Notmuch · · Score: 2

    I still prefer text e-mail readers (Mutt these days). I don't need fancy GUI, graphics, formatting, etc. Same for IRC and IM clients. Tin, nzbget, wget, aria2c, etc. Yes, I am old school so get off my lawn. Also, they are handy for slow and unstable Internet connections like dial-up for remote connections. Oh and more secured!

  12. Re:No fix for Mac OS X 10.5.8's Java? :( on Flashback Trojan Hits 600,000 Macs and Counting · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I did not know there was a Java Preferences in Utilities section. I will check it out when I see my client's old MacBook Pro. :)

  13. BBS Documentary! on Online Services: The Internet Before the Internet · · Score: 1

    If you haven't watched BBS Documentary series, then do so!

  14. No fix for Mac OS X 10.5.8's Java? :( on Flashback Trojan Hits 600,000 Macs and Counting · · Score: 2

    I would assume so if Apple doesn't support Mac OS X 10.5.x anymore. I hope disabling Java in web browsers is enough since there's no way to uninstall it because Mac OS X came with it. :(

  15. Re:Java dying? on Mozilla Blocks Vulnerable Java Versions In Firefox · · Score: 1

    Why was Minecraft designed for Java anyways? I find that annoying. I can't get rid of Java just yet. Can't it use something else? OK, Flash sucks... Silverlight, ugh. :(

  16. Re:Sucked in... again on Federal Judge Rules P2P Users Aren't In a Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    Nice typo. :P

  17. Re:OS alternative? on Adobe Releases Last Linux Version of Flash Player · · Score: 1

    Bah. Still annoying. :P I wonder how often it crashes compared to Adobe's Flash. Flash seriously crashes my Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2 web browsers too much on all of my computers! Heh.

  18. Re:Paranoid? on Samsung Says Their TVs Aren't Really Spying On You · · Score: 1

    That's annoying to do with portable devices. Does the user really want to do that everytime? :(

    Bah, restarting web browser? Annoying. :P

  20. Re:Paranoid? on Samsung Says Their TVs Aren't Really Spying On You · · Score: 1

    Uh, I don't think covering up a mic will work 100%. You would need to physically disconnect it. That isn't easy since it is internal and would void warranties. :(

  21. Re:OS alternative? on Adobe Releases Last Linux Version of Flash Player · · Score: 1

    Do they work with all Flash sites out there especially games and videos like Hulu, Vimeo, YouTube, DailyMotion, etc.?
