    See UserFriendly's comic strip from Monday, 10/16/2006. :)

  2. They look liked ants! on Robot Swarm Shifts Heavy Objects · · Score: 1

    Heh, the video clip looked like worker ants trying to work together to move the object.

  4. Re:How about drivers in Linux? on Why AMD Is Still In The Race · · Score: 1

    I will try again if I ever use my AIW card. Can I use the AIW's TV tuner too?

  5. Re:How about drivers in Linux? on Why AMD Is Still In The Race · · Score: 1

    So, it's a lot better than two years ago? I remember hassling with the ATI drivers and setups with ATI Radeon 9800 Pro All-In-Wonder card and Red Hat Linux 7.1(?).

  6. Commercial: Commodore Amiga 500 Introduction Video on A History of Computers, As Seen in Old TV Ads · · Score: 3, Informative

    Cool video: A 15 minutes YouTube video showing off the Amiga 500, also known as the A500. It was the first "low-end" Commodore Amiga 16/32-bit multimedia home/personal computer. It was announced at the winter Consumer Electronics Show in January 1987, at the same time as the high-end A2000, and competed directly against the Atari 520ST.

  7. Apple II GS with the brief gimpse of Ant Farm? on A History of Computers, As Seen in Old TV Ads · · Score: 1

    Does anyone remember that old Apple commercial with the 1 second glipse of an Ant Farm on a kid's desk? Does anyone know where that can be found online? I had no luck with various Apple video ads. sites, YouTube, etc. I think the ad was about education with Apple II GS computer.

    Thank you in advance. :)

  8. How about drivers in Linux? on Why AMD Is Still In The Race · · Score: 1

    NVIDIA is still superior in Linux over ATI in terms of drivers.

  9. Re:GoScreen on Virtual Desktops on Windows? · · Score: 1

    Yep, how long have you been using it? I think I got it when Windows 98 was around.

  10. Who's preordering it/waiting/not buying? on Wii Pre-Orders at EB Games and Gamestop · · Score: 1

    I am not. I probably will wait a year if I want one or I won't get one. I haven't owned a gaming console since Atari 2600. I did borrow a Turbo Graphx 16 for a week though.

  11. GoScreen on Virtual Desktops on Windows? · · Score: 0

    GoScreen is the best virtual desktop manager that my friends and I found and use. It is not free after 30(?) days, but it is cheap and worth it. It still supports old Windows 95 to the newest (XP). Very low resources. We use it at home and work.

  12. Re:A small screen with VD manager vs. big screen. on Do Big Screens Make Employees More Productive? · · Score: 1

    Eww, that's no fun. I can't live without a VDM on any computers with GUI. :) I even have one for Mac OS X.

  13. Re:Seamonkey on IceWeasel — Why Closed Source Wins · · Score: 1

    Seamonkey (newer) and Mozilla (older) are suites, not a stand alone Web browser like Firefox.

  14. Re:A small screen with VD manager vs. big screen. on Do Big Screens Make Employees More Productive? · · Score: 1

    TeknoHog: My friends and I use GoScreen (not free though) in Windows. It's great. We are way more productive with this virtual desktop manager, even in Windows.

  15. A small screen with VD manager vs. big screen. on Do Big Screens Make Employees More Productive? · · Score: 1

    I wonder which one would be more productive for others. A small monitor/screen with a virtual desktop manager (assuming user knows how to use it) vs. a big screen without a virtual desktop manager.

    I seem to be more productive with a virtual desktop manager on a small screen than a bigger monitor. Having a big screen AND a virtual desktop manager doubles that. ;)

  16. Re:Thanks for the notice guys on Windows XP SP1 Support Ends Tuesday · · Score: 1

    Also if Windows XP SP1 has WGA in system tray running, Then, there would be a pop-up notification about SP1 expiration.

  17. Was she playing Far Cry? on Get Buff While Geeking Out · · Score: 1
  18. IP address? on Why Software Sucks · · Score: 1

    "home country instead of detecting it via the user's IP address." -- This isn't always accurate. What if user is behind a proxy, at school, at work, using someone else's Internet connection (e.g., wifi), etc.?

  19. The game boxes. on Judging a Game By Its Cover · · Score: 1

    I always enjoyed looking at old game arts on covers. Some of them are weird and cheesy, but some of them are really cool.

  20. Re:wakka or waka? on Everything Old is Old Again · · Score: 1

    Actually, we're both wrong. It's Fozzie.

  21. wakka or waka? on Everything Old is Old Again · · Score: 1

    Which one is the proper spelling for Fuzzi Bear and Pac-Man?

  22. Re:Cooling! on Are Hard Disk Warranties Worthless? · · Score: 1

    I wished I had a basement. I am upstair so that's even worse. :(

    At my former dotcom employer, we had a basement. It was nice!

  23. Low cubicle walls? on Avoiding the Cube Farm - Effective Office Floor Plans? · · Score: 1

    With cubicles, what do you guys think of the low walls? Where I work now, we have low walls. They're so low, that I can see everything while standing up since I am only about 5'.

  24. Re:Cooling! on Are Hard Disk Warranties Worthless? · · Score: 1

    Wow, where is this? I thought my room was bad enough (can go up to 90F degrees in heat waves).

  25. Re:Demo? on DEFCON Released Today · · Score: 1

    Yep, like Darwinia. Just wait. I would like a demo early too, but I doubt that will happen.
