  1. Re:Mod parent up on Google Eyes Domain Registration Market · · Score: 1

    For those who missed it, Googolplex has been the name of the movie threater in The Simspons for a long, long time. (Note that it's Googol, not Google)

  2. Re:Confused!! on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    I don't see why... You have 2 or 3 fingers.

  3. Re:What, not enough flames? on Why I Love The GPL · · Score: 1

    I think it should have been "BSD vs GPL (or freedom vs. corp)", not the other way around.

  4. Re:Why i love his anti-MS rhetorics on Why I Love The GPL · · Score: 1

    You do realize that Microsoft had every right to "copy" the FTP program and the TCP/IP stack, right? That the BSD license permits them to use it as they wish, thus granting true freedom. Surely even through your anti-Microsoft glasses you can see that.

  5. Re:Office use? on Dual Core Intel Processors Sooner Than Expected · · Score: 1

    You meant to say "Don't forget about us gentoo ricers.", right?

  6. Re:combat robotics parts (Battlebots) on Build Your Own Self-Balancing Unicycle · · Score: 1

    Um... So what?

  7. Re:That just doesn't look comfortable... on Build Your Own Self-Balancing Unicycle · · Score: 3, Insightful

    First too lazy to walk, then too lazy to hold your arms out? What's next? Too lazy to stand up?

  8. Re:no...because he's rob pike. on Google Planning Web Browser? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's another reason. Same goes for the guy from Mozilla, right? Hell, it got their name in the press.

  9. Re:Why the jump to OS? on Google Planning Web Browser? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Nope. They hired Rob Pike and a few others from Bell Labs for their distributed computing knowledge, not because they want to create an OS.

  10. Re:Yahoo and google 2 different approaches?? on Google Moves Into Video · · Score: 0

    Google is indexing broadcast video.
    Yahoo is indexing web videos.

  11. Re:Check Out Critical Mention... on Google Moves Into Video · · Score: 0

    Don't worry. Google will buy'em up sooner or later.

  12. Re:Why no direct links to video? on Google Moves Into Video · · Score: 0

    Because this isn't a web index, they are pulling it right from the radio waves.

  13. Re:Yahoo does this, too. on Google Moves Into Video · · Score: 0

    Google is indexing broadcast video, not video found on the web.

  14. Re:sticks out like a sore thumb on Nintendo Revolution Rumours Emerge · · Score: 0

    I don't think it will be a VR headset but I applaud you on the alternative meaning of the word "revolution". Everyone thinks it means it will be revolutionary and that's why it is named "revolution"; An alternative defitinion is much more likely.

  15. Re:Who knows what to expect on Nintendo Revolution Rumours Emerge · · Score: 0

    Voice recognititon has a problem: It's loud. Playing late at night when someone is sleeping would be a problem. If you believe Nintendo's target market are the under 14 range, having a bunch of kids screaming at the TV isn't a good thing. If it is voice recognititon, I think it's doomed to fail. So sad, as I love Nintendo.

  16. Re:A philosophical revolution on Nintendo Revolution Rumours Emerge · · Score: 0

    I strongly disagree. Nintendo's first-party titles kick ass. Many third party titles are non-exclusive, that is they are on all consoles.

    Nintendo's first-party titles have a little thing called "gameplay" and "story". Many PS2 and Xbox consoles are eye-candy, run-and-shoot games.

  17. Re:Gyroscopes on Nintendo Revolution Rumours Emerge · · Score: 0

    I think the gyroscopes is a bad idea. I won't be able to play my games upside down anymore.

    I also think this guy (not you, the guy who started the rumor) is wrong about the Internet. Didn't Nintendo say something to the effect that they thought Internet gaming wasn't all that great?

  18. Re:Yay! on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 0

    They weren't creationist stickers. They were stickers which said the simple truth: Evolution is a theory, not a fact. If they said "Evolution is a theory, not a fact. See creationism.", then I'd agree, but they didn't.

  19. ISPs are interesting. on How Company Employees Use The Web · · Score: 0

    More interesting than Google and Microsoft and all that are ISPs. Enter your ISPs name into the search, find it on the list, and check the browser and OS stats.

  20. Re:Why is desktop search so hot? on Desktop Search Engines Compared · · Score: 0

    Everyone is on the SEARCH bandwagon. Web, desktop, email, anything. It's big business. It's a fad. It will fade.

    And beep out "CQ" in morse code.

    In the home and at a hotel are two very different things.

  23. Re:Nu-uh! on PC Photo Printers Challenge Pros · · Score: 0

    You can cover your ears and go "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!" all you want but it doesn't make it any less true.

  24. Re:Nu-uh! on PC Photo Printers Challenge Pros · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't care. We bought the English language from you guys in 1782 and you are now required by the Bill of Rights to speak and spell it correctly. If you do not meet these requirements, it's an act of war.

  25. Re:Printing -- how long? on PC Photo Printers Challenge Pros · · Score: 1, Funny

    "Soon, there might be cheap LCD-screens hanging everywhere in your house, displaying pictures or whatever. You press one button, the decoration changes" I believe every prediction about the future has been wrong. I'd bet this will be no exception.
