  1. Re:I don't know about "merging" on Cringley Thinks Apple & Intel Are Merging · · Score: -1

    Yeh, dude... they have a native version of Photoshop, you know. No point in putting in more layers of crud to run a Windows version of Photoshop using Wine which will prolly event require X11 installed... you get the picture. If you're gonna start analysing, make sure you've got the facts first, mkay?

  2. Re:throw in the towel? on RIAA File-Sharing Lawsuits Top 10,000 People Sued · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Though, arguably, on a whole it's not stopping the P2P flood. So they're facing a losing battle in that sense.

  3. Challenger anyone? on NASA Ponders Postponing Launch until July · · Score: 0, Insightful

    This sounds strangely familiar...

  4. Re:DAMNIT on Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works · · Score: -1

    And it's exactly people like you who are tripping over themselves to justify their adoration and devotion which gives Gentoo that image. Take a step back, and welcome everyone, even the wannabes.

  5. Re:DAMNIT on Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works · · Score: -1

    So you're saying that you love Gentoo because of the 'exclusivity' factor? Get over yourself kiddo, I'm running pretty much the same stuff without having to spend a weekend compiling, I use it because it's free and gives me the choice... not because it's user-unfriendly.

  6. Go retire I say! on Lucas Confirms Star Wars spin-off TV series · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This man needs to retire, and quickly.

  7. Ego on UNIX Systems Control Politics? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I had the exact same problem. I said good bye and used a private box. Not much you can do if the asshole in charge is a power tripping ego.

  8. Re:Law Enforcement on American Passports to Have RFID Chips · · Score: 0

    If the range is not that far, why the concern about being tracked?

  9. Law Enforcement on American Passports to Have RFID Chips · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Privacy issues aside, this could come in incredibly handy for those travelling abroad and being robbed. Much too often tourists are burgled of all their stuff, including passport, if the passport could be located, so might their other stuff including the thief.

  10. Re:My new game on China to Invest Heavily in 'Healthy' Games · · Score: 0

    Quite similarly to games such as Operation Iraqi Freedom, Desert Storm, America's Army and all the other games which currently glorify the western ideals.

  11. Reliance on Digital Cameras Help Alert Sleepy Drivers · · Score: 0

    I wonder what the risks are of becoming too reliant on these sorts of technologies, through which our own judgement and alertness is gradually dimished. Though, 100% reliance on human qualities hasn't been working too well so far, anyway.

  12. Re:*BEHEADING is dying on Bootlegged Music in Russia · · Score: 0

    Well Bob... Bob, I must say, I'm a big Michael Bolton fan, in fact I've pirated his entire collection.

  13. Re:I wonder.. on Star/OpenOffice XML Format To Become ISO Standard? · · Score: 0

    I thought MS office 2003 already incorporate this XM L stuff?

  14. Bleh on Andy Phelps Proposes 'B-Sides' For Games · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What's the point? Really?

  15. Re:Solar sails or small rockets on Asteroid 4179 Toutatis Will Miss Earth, This Time · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Nuke. 'nuf said.
