  1. Re:Personally I think they handled this the right on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt · · Score: 2, Funny

    Remember now folks ... nothing "potentially interesting" or the terrorists have won.

  2. M$ Nemesis on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: 1

    This is the one. They gonna start to tank here. A disasterous vista launch, worse sell through than the PS3 ... I can feel the shift.

      OK that's my psychic prediction ;).

  3. Re:Windows Vista Truly is an Amazing Operating Sys on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: 1

    Fishin' without a hook again ... ;).

  4. Re:Sprawl making us fat? NO. on Does Sprawl Make Us Fat? · · Score: 1

    It's pretty simple. Eat more calories than you burn you get fat. Muscle is the engine of metabolism and a pound of muscle will burn 50 calories a day at rest.

      Lift heavy objects and muscle will form. I'm 60 this year and I can curl 45# press 125# and squat 150#. I'm a strong SOB and because I have a strong metabolic engine I shrug off depression and the wear and tear of daily life. A couple of miles every other day for cardio and I'm in fine shape.

      All this adds up to 30 min every other day and 10 min 4 or 5 times a week. About an hour + a week, it's not much.

  5. Re:Keyword is "Standard" on OSDL and The Free Standards Group to Merge · · Score: 1

    Yeah ... funny how that worked out eh' ;).

  6. Re:not a llort on Microsoft Admits Vista Has "High Impact Issues" · · Score: 1

    I sure hope you ment 17 Gig. I mean it's hard to tell how fast I can copy 17 Meg from one drive to another, it's pretty well instant, well damn quick.

  7. Re:OSD + FS != Linux on OSDL and The Free Standards Group to Merge · · Score: 1

    Linux is free software. Open sores uses free software for it's own often less than free purposes. Oh why do I bother, it's just the top of your head, Anything in there?

  8. Re:Keyword is "Standard" on OSDL and The Free Standards Group to Merge · · Score: 1

    Yeah NetBSD is gonna let me accelerate my games and throw HDTV to my Sony. No. Standard is nice but the real world is the real world.

      Because Linux _is_ the standard *nix I can get Nvidia blobs to sully my purity and crank my video. As there is FreeBSD support one might be able to hack up something but then NetBSD would be sullied and perverted ;).

  9. Re:Good Move on OSDL and The Free Standards Group to Merge · · Score: 1

    The hidden agendas are all in your mind. It makes perfect sense to bring this under one "Linux" roof then the vestigial OSs can wither and die at their own pace. OSS my ass.

  10. Useful Tread on Mac OS X Versus Windows Vista, The Rematch · · Score: 1

    They are both for morons as this thread clearly shows.

  11. It's *nix on Why are Free-Desktop Developers Wedded to Linux? · · Score: 1

    It's a useful unix. The most developed one these days and a beautiful OS. It is an absolute joy for someone who "likes" computers.

      It is a twisty maze for users and people who just want it to "just work". Tough.

      It's a killer HTPC, my present jones, and I can't even imagine what I would have to go through to get my present functionality in windose or osex.

  12. I have a phone on iPhone, Apple TV Headline MacWorld Keynote · · Score: 1

    I'd rather buy a PS3, makes more sense than this bauble ... cute though ;).

  13. Re:Fluffer on iPhone, Apple TV Headline MacWorld Keynote · · Score: 1

    Never built anything with wood eh' ...

  14. Doh on Toyota Creating In-Vehicle Alcohol Detection System · · Score: 1

    Gloves ... a ball cap to cover your eyes. Did I miss anything?

  15. Re:File formats on Why Software Sucks, And Can Something Be Done About It? · · Score: 1

    All this bounty and you're complaining the sea-chests are too hard to open. Avast matey, a pirate needs many tools and skills to use them.

  16. Re:One Idea on Why Software Sucks, And Can Something Be Done About It? · · Score: 1

    Yup a GUI for transients and a nice CLI with a man page detailing the options for us residents ;).

  17. Re:Best movie download site for HD content on Which Movie Download Site Is Best? · · Score: 1

    I'll need an invite it seems ....

  18. Re:quality heh on Which Movie Download Site Is Best? · · Score: 1

    No clue eh'. The 700M DVD rip is the sweet spot for an SD DVD ripe. Almost indistinguishable from the DVD done right.
      Now the sweet spot is around 4G for HDTV rips and HDTV .ts satellite HD 1080 material. A little less for 720p where the bulk of HD and my favorite, BBC documentrys, (nature porn) are.

  19. Re:Not on Linux on Which Movie Download Site Is Best? · · Score: 1

    Oh please ... set your sights a little higer. I have 75 gig of HDTV files downloaded in the last 2 months. Just look around a bit.

    Corporate babble speak. Jeez it's pretty simple make good coffee. Not on the list but that's all that matters you weasels.

      MAKE GOOD COFFEE

      I'm yelling to try to get the concept accross.

  21. Re:Probably a non story-More of a Rant. on Starbucks Responds In Kind To Oxfam YouTube Video · · Score: 1

    Interesting ... you believe in free will. Actually the conditioning starts at birth. It is very difficult to own your own head, takes years of serious effort.

      Most Starbucks coffee is mediocre. Any speciality roaster should just kill them for quality. In my little town even Thrifty's, a supermarket chain, has better coffee.

  22. Well ..... on Could YouTube Be the Killer-App for Apple's iTV? · · Score: 1

    No

  23. Re:OS "simplicity" on Looking Beyond Vista To Fiji and Vienna · · Score: 1

    It's not really an autism thing. Most people raised in the modern NA culture think in pictures. It's much more common for people raised in Asia to think conceptually. I am a conceptual thinker and the CLI is my favorite place. All my windowed stuff just reflects scripts I've written and I usually have a few terminals open running torrents, encoding video etc. I find it much faster to bring up a terminal to burn a DVD than going into some broken GUI and start clicking.

      My friends, some of which are advanced users, need their liitle things to click on and get confused and angered by any command with complex options. I have given up trying to show them ... it's built in.

  24. Re:and Linux is no longer a hobbyist OS.... on Looking Beyond Vista To Fiji and Vienna · · Score: 1

    I keep a copy of XP Pro just to flash my burners. Damn those non windows DRM breaking freaks with two DVD burners ;).

      Weeks since I beeen there. That was to see what my dual head CRT monitor - Sony CRT HDTV setup looks like ... not impressive but I only spent 10 min on it.
