  1. Fossil Abacus on Top 10 Geek Watches · · Score: 1

    How's the usability (does it require a pen input like the regular PDAs?), weight compared to the Databank calculator watches, etc.? It looks interesting, but I don't need a full PDA (hence why I don't own one). Just something simple to record some schedules, some telephone #s, and a simple calculator.

    I am also worried about its physcial size and weight. Would it be too heavy, annoying, and big for say a kid? My wrist and hand are small and thin due my physical disabilities. Casio Databank calculator watches fit me well.

  2. Re:Timex DataLink Indiglo on Top 10 Geek Watches · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I am a thin guy (110 lbs.) with small hands and wrists, and these watches would be too big and heavy for me. I still prefer the CASIO Databank calculator watches. I am currently wearing and using 150 model. I have been wearing these types since junior high/middle school days. :) They work well for me. Plus, light and fits my wrist well.

  3. CASIO Databank Calculator Watches! on Top 10 Geek Watches · · Score: 1

    I still like CASIO Databank calculator watches (currently wearing and using 150 model). I have been wearing these types since junior high/middle school days. :)

    Petrushka: You can download and watch high definition videos.

  5. QuickTime Alternative on The Trouble With Software Upgrades · · Score: 1

    No no! QuickTime Alternative is even better.

  6. 4400? on Man Builds 60-foot Tower to Get Highspeed Access · · Score: 1

    It reminds me of an episode (can't find it) where these guys built a tower made out of various pieces. Maybe this guy is doing the same. [grin]

  7. Overhyped? on Mac Mini and iPod Hi-Fi Over-Hyped? · · Score: 1

    I usually avoid these hypes. I just wait until I see the products myself. That's true for movies, TV shows, games, places, etc.

  8. Re:Only real answer is free character transfer on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    The problem is guilds. You would want all your buddies to move over too. I am not paying and playing at this time due to these problems. I will wait and I am really busy at this time.

  9. It reminds me of portknocking... on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: 1

    Knocking via networks. See this article.

  10. Letter A? Adultry? on Acclaim Back From the Dead · · Score: 1

    Maybe it is scarlet letter A for adultry. [grin]

  11. Encoder? on Apple Announces Wonderful Toys · · Score: 1

    What about encoding?

  12. For me, 1 is fine... on Why 7.1 Surround Sound is Overkill For Most Homes · · Score: 1

    Since I wear an analog hearing aid, I cannot hear the directions of the sound (not even left and right) because my analog hearing aid only has one microphone (left side of my head). Basically, I hear everything in mono. However, I love bass so give me a big fat subwoofer any day. And it is even better if I turn off/remove my hearing aid to make more bass. [grin]

  13. You don't need a TiVo! on Interactive Commercial Utilizes Tivo Features · · Score: 1

    Bah, you don't need a TiVo to playback this ad to pause.

    Use a VCR (hardest), another brand of PVR (your computer if you have a TV tuner), watch online, download the video file and use some video editor, etc.

  14. Communication. on Tech Makes Working Harder · · Score: 1

    Technology gives me communicaton for me due to my speech and hearing impediments. I don't think I would do well without IM, online chat, forums, etc.

  15. Nice timing... on PBS To Air Six New Monty Python Specials · · Score: 1

    It is sweep mode right now and Olympic games are in session. I was going to not watch anything this week, but now this came up. Nice timing. ;) Too bad it is not HDTV format.

  16. Washington Post link worked for me without cookies on OSx86 Shutdown Rumors Explained · · Score: 2

    As for NYT, just use this. Most likely, it will make a link that doesn't require to log in.

  17. No, but I thought of User Application Error on Space Tourism from UAE · · Score: 1

    Remember that error from Windows 3.x days? :)

  18. Re:Who here still uses old Office versions? on MS Unveils Office 2007, Multiple Versions · · Score: 1

    Oh, and that's another reason. Heh.

    I wonder if the new version will force us to upgrade because of that. Hmm!

  19. No graphics. on We Don't Need No Stinkin' Broadband · · Score: 1

    Or better, don't use ANY graphics. Just surf without graphic if you just need non-pictorial information.

  20. Who here still uses old Office versions? on MS Unveils Office 2007, Multiple Versions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does anyone here still prefer and use older versions like Office 2000? At home, I use 2000 version and it still does fine for my needs. I don't do fancy editings in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. Sometimes I use OpenOffice especially in Linux and Mac OS X v10.2.8 (NeoOffice), but that's rare. At work, I have to use Office 2003 since it is required by IT. I don't like these newer versions (2002/XP, 2003, etc.).

  21. Cute. on Computer Addiction or Just Modern Life? · · Score: 4, Informative

    ScuttleMonkey messed up my submission! I submitted as:

    This three page ABC News story asks millions of people worldwide spend enormous amounts of time online, but are they addicted? Video games and the Internet have been subject to suspicion since the computer became a household fixture. One complaint: People get sucked into spending enormous amounts of time on the computer, to the detriment of other parts of their life.

    But are they addicted? The answer depends on what you mean by "addicted." Most experts say computers are not addictive in the same sense that drugs are, but they could be on the same level as gambling...

    Seen on Blue's News.

  22. Re:What about heat saving? on Mobile Processor Showdown · · Score: 1

    What if he is into gaming? I like to game on my laptop, and the heat is crazy.

  23. Mods too. on Nvidia Launches High Powered Mobile Graphics Chip · · Score: 1

    Probably can run mods too. :)

  24. [grin] on The Secret Cause of Flame Wars · · Score: 1

    Not only I use emoticons, I also use [grin] to ensure the readers know that it was a sarcasm/joke to avoid misunderstandings.

  25. Re:For those TI-99/4A lovers in Chicago... on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    Games! Does anyone have good sources to get games to download? I used to use have Michael Fox's (not the actor!) Web site, but it was long gone. :(
