  1. Re:vaporware on Windows to Have Better CLI · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because they can rip off Linux/UNIX shells that have been developed, tested and improved by hundreds (thousands?) of people over the course of more than 20 years?

  2. Re:vaporware on Windows to Have Better CLI · · Score: 1

    Worried? It would be great. Finally a nice CLI in m$win. It's however a strange development process, a CLI should be of a higher priority than pretty colors and more "advanced options" buttons.

    But why is it better than doxygen?

    The ultimate crack protection is to stop time.

    Except life doesn't go around in circles. (assuming you're not intoxicated)

  6. Re:Thoughts on virtual thoughts on Effort to Create Virtual Brain Begins · · Score: 1

    Hmm we could do all sorts of interesting experiments. Give it some input for a while until it can comunicate, then let it sit in void for a few simulated years and see what the result is and if we're able to fix it. Oh the poor computer.

  7. Re:Orgasms? on Open source Digital Bacteria · · Score: 1
    No, but I am the only one that predicted that someone would misread it like that and scrolled down to search for that post.

    Now, before you say you predicted that someone would predict that it would be misread as orgasms... that's impossible, that would require a brain the size of a jumbojet.

    it's not funny because you got it backwards:

    In Soviet Russia, testicles with mustard eat YOU.

  9. Re:W2K on Final Windows 2000 Update · · Score: 1
    One nasty security flaw, and upgrading W2K could be essential on a production system. Looks like Windows security problems don't do MS any harm at all (fastens tin-foil hat)

    Hmmm interesting concept. I wouldn't be suprised if that has been their plan all along.

  10. Re:It actually works on Yahoo! Releases New Search Tool · · Score: 1

    I don't need all these things you mentioned. However.. this slider seems very interesting.

  11. Re:My Computer, Your Computer on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    So that's your computer! What's this big box doing then??? What about "this computer" or "Drives"? Have you ever opened it? Except for "control panel" there are only drives in it.

  12. Re:Aren't they already here? on Are Video Game Patents Next? · · Score: 1

    heheh yes i remember that. It wasn't terrible difficult unless it was a bad tape. The most frustrating was when a load failed when it was almost done.

  16. Re:bad move on Microsoft's part on No IE7 For 2k, Now In Extended Service · · Score: 1

    I am sticking to w2k because I don't know why I would need XP. It propably also uses more memory, so no thanks.

    Their definition of 'any key' is correct, the message on the screen may not.

  20. Re:Last I checked.... on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 1
    People keep saying things are impossible, and then 5 or 50 years later someone makes it reality.

    Back then they didn't have science to back their statements. They found stuff by experiment and a new law of physics was born. You can't compare then and now. We can prove that something is impossible using the laws invented 100 years and more ago. Unless physics is changed in a radical way, some things remain impossible. The stuff you mentioned is not world shocking at all, it's trickery that doesn't break any laws. It's still impossible to transfer information faster than light. Don't hold your breath.

  21. Re:"Funny"?? on Firefox Promo Videos · · Score: 1

    I could only watch the first one. It was incredible lame. Looks like it was done by teens thinking distortion effects and screaming are funny.

    # IE's "mouse select jumps to word boundaries" is not perfect but better than Firefox's character based model.

    O man I hate that. It's totally frustrating when trying to select something and the GDMF selects additional chars.

  25. Re:then dont use it on Simple, Bare-Bones Motherboards? · · Score: 1

    Dropping it is way too rad to my liking, you never know when you need it for a router, eprom programmer, pda or whatever. A better idea would be to use the space for some extra usb ports and supply par/serial headers which you can swap with the usb. Inside the case it's just a small flatcable, doesn't take up much space on the board.
