  1. Re:Man, just get used to it on Show Office 2007 Who's the Boss · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously, why do people fear change so much? The new Office document format is much better than any previous formats in my opinion. It's better than the old formats. Sure, it takes a while to get used to but it is worth it. [grin] :P

  2. My dentist... on Big HMO Jolted By Email, System Failures · · Score: 1

    My dentist office still uses DOS/text mode on a PC (no idea what's the setup -- maybe a 386?).

  3. Re:PC ports? on Call of Duty 4 Announced · · Score: 1

    That sucks. :( I haven't owned a gaming console since Atari 2600. I prefer computer games due to mod support and stuff.

  4. PC ports? on Call of Duty 4 Announced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Will there be a PC/Windows port for CoD4? How come CoD3 didn't have one? I loved the first two CoD games. :(

  5. Eww, DOS 4.00 on Is Windows Vista in Trouble? · · Score: 1

    I had IBM DOS 4.00 on my IBM PS/2 30 286 machine. Man, that was an awful DOS version. I remember unable to get enough free conventional memory for games and stuff. Ugh.

  6. Re:Article Polls! on Laptops And Flat Panels Now Vulnerable to Van Eck Methods · · Score: 1

    Thanks Chris! That was the one. :)

  7. Mirrors! on Exhaustive Data Compressor Comparison · · Score: 1

    Looks like the server was /.'ed. Mirrors: MirrorDot and Network Mirror.

  8. IT topic? on The Germs' Drummer Arrested For Carrying Soap · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How is this story related to IT? "IT: The Germs' Drummer Arrested For Carrying Soap" ... Did I miss something?

  9. Re:Article Polls! on Laptops And Flat Panels Now Vulnerable to Van Eck Methods · · Score: 1

    There was a previous story with a poll. I forgot which story it was. Does anyone remember it?

  10. Re:Cool! My turn! on Details of Microsoft's Settlement With Iowa · · Score: 1

    That's for XP, not 98. :)

  11. Re:# = Anchor in URL on PC World's 20 Most Annoying Tech Products · · Score: 1

    And I don't need your response like you said. :P

  12. Re:Only Fools Wait Until The Last Minute on Turbo Tax Melts Down on Tax Day · · Score: 1

    Or do it weeks/months before. My folks and I finish ours months in advance. We're not proscrinators. We do this just in case there are problems and have enough time to fix.

  13. Add? on Ontario Proposes School Cyber-Bullying Law · · Score: 1

    What is an add? Or is that a typo of ad?

  14. Not just full TV shows. on Schmidt Says YouTube 'Very Close' to Filtering System · · Score: 1

    It is also video clips from TV shows, movies, etc. that get taken down. :(

  15. # = Anchor in URL on PC World's 20 Most Annoying Tech Products · · Score: 1

    You didn't need the # for anchor. :) Yeah, I am picky but what did you expect from a stubborn nerd/geek? :D

  16. Spring Break? on Many Dead In Virginia Tech Shooting · · Score: 1

    Did Spring Break just end for this place? I wonder if the shooter got grumpy over something during the time off.

  17. Your ears! on Enforced Ads Coming to Flash Video Players · · Score: 1

    Don't forget your ears. Plug them to ignore the audio too. ;)

  18. Re:The most promising workaround on Working Around Vista Apps' Incompatibilities · · Score: 1

    Yeah, 10% FPS can be big especially if you only get 20-30 FPS already in Windows with a medium-end system (I never get a high-end system).

  19. Re:The most promising workaround on Working Around Vista Apps' Incompatibilities · · Score: 1

    Is that with everything enabled like graphics, audio, etc. And good FPS? The last time I tried this with Transgaming with Diablo 2, I couldn't get good FPS, I didn't have EAX/3D sound enhancements, installation was complex, etc. This was back when Red Hat Linux (I think I had 7.1 or 7.2) was still around.

  20. Well, I am online a lot... on Females Outnumber Males Online · · Score: 2

    ... and I am a worker ant that is classified females. [grin]

  21. Check out this classic Amiga demo on C64. on Fun and Profit With Obsolete Computers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Speaking of old demos and computers, check out Desert Dream on a Commodore 64. Amazing port.

  22. Re:Jeez get A Clue! on Microsoft Pressures Testers After Software Leak · · Score: 1

    Maybe Richard Simmons? Don't know why he would want it.

  23. A copy of the sign form? on 15-Year-Old Scams YouTube · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have the sign form copy that was sent to YouTube from this teenager?

  24. Donald? on The Fine Art of 'Boss Science' · · Score: 1

    Is that you, Donald Trump?

  25. Heat. on A Review of the Top Four External Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    I noticed Maxtor InTouch external HDD, from a few years ago, had heat problems if using them for hours. The cooling and vents are inefficient. The case get very hot too. Are the newer ones better at staying cool?
