  1. Google never went through a Depression on Can Hayao Miyazaki Save Disney's Soul? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or a World War.

  2. Re:How does it compare to Paint Shop Pro? on MS Unveils Beta of New Image Editing Program · · Score: 1

    Hi Bob,

    I have people skills, dammit! What the hell is wrong with you people!

    See you on Monday,
    Dave

  3. Re:How does it compare to Paint Shop Pro? on MS Unveils Beta of New Image Editing Program · · Score: 1

    Hi, this is Dave. My email is broken so I did not receive your notice to report to human resources. Have a great weekend. Thanks Dave

  4. How does it compare to Paint Shop Pro? on MS Unveils Beta of New Image Editing Program · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Sorry, I'm at work and the IT Nazis won't let me try it out.

  5. Re:Ok quick, breathe on Keyboards are Good; Mouses are Dumb · · Score: 1

    TFA said that a mouse slows one down and is unecessary to get work done fast. I pointed out that is not true by showing a complete opposite example. Illustrator requires a team effort of mouse fingers and keyboard fingers.

  6. A chicken in every pot on FCC Speeds Up Digital TV Signal Deadlines · · Score: 1

    A TV in every home.

  7. Blue Man Group on Cringley Thinks Apple & Intel Are Merging · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, I sure would hate to be the one who has to break it to the Blue Man Group to start thinking different or leave.

  8. Re:Watch out for the Parking Nazis on What You Should Know When Taking a University Job? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This also happens when undergrad's parents show up.

  9. Watch out for the Parking Nazis on What You Should Know When Taking a University Job? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Err, I mean Parking Services.

  10. Re:SPOILERS: Here's the plot outline on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    And while the Springfield army is fighting the Canandains, Lisa stays out in the garden all night waiting for the Great Parsnip to arrive and bring order to the universe. Instead it turns out to be Santa's Little Helper rooting through an empty trash bag. /and then some doofus in a tie takes a picture of it, weeping about how beautiful it is

  11. SPOILERS: Here's the plot outline on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 5, Funny

    The movie begins with the same theme song sequence as the show, the family ends up in the living room staring at the TV, but the TV is missing. A road trip begins as the Simpsons search for their missing TV. Their search takes them across deserts, to the Hoover Dam, in the trunks of cars, and ends up in Washington DC, all while being chased by cops and robbers. By the end of the trip, they finally find their TV and they go home. /err wait

  12. Ok quick, breathe on Keyboards are Good; Mouses are Dumb · · Score: 1

    Where did I claim I only use the mouse or only the keyboard? Have you ever tried using Illustrator with only a mouse and no keyboard? Does your keyboard come with an "Oops!" key?

  13. Re:Ok quick, draw me a corporate logo on Keyboards are Good; Mouses are Dumb · · Score: 0

    This is so true! Kenmore did this, and the latest "victim" appears to be the new non-yellow Ryder trucks. See where keyboard-only use gets us? Viva la mouse.

  14. Ok quick, draw me a corporate logo on Keyboards are Good; Mouses are Dumb · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Use Illustrator and only your keyboard. Go!

  15. Linux distros distribution on Debian 3.1 (Sarge) Released · · Score: 0

    The thing I don't understand about various distros is why in this age of the Internet a big announcement has to be made that an operating system finally has great new features like Gnome 2.8 and Firefox 1.04. Why do Fedora Core users have to burn another gaggle of CDs every 6 months just to stay up to date? Why is it that it seems Gentoo is the only distro that has figured this out? I find this particularly annoying considering Linux in general has been a "download this for free!" type OS but yet we're still upgrading them like we're buying shrink wrapped boxes.

  16. Because you stay logged in for Google Groups, etc on Google Never Forgets · · Score: 0

    Also the new Personalized Google page at www.google.com/ig wants you to login.

  17. "Double click on Computer" on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 0

    User: Do you mean double click on my modem? Helpdesk: (groan)

  18. Google is missing a link on Google's Secret Lab · · Score: 0

    I still can't find the link to the Colonel's Secret Recipe.

  19. Yeah, Gödel should have used C# on Self-wiring Supercomputer · · Score: 0

    He's a rather lazy programmer, always saying it's impossible to finish anything.

  20. How is those supposed to stop me now? on Sony's New DRM Technique · · Score: 0

    Under the new solution, tracks ripped and burned from a copy-protected disc are copied to a blank CD in Microsoft's Windows Media Audio format. The DRM embedded on the discs bars the burned CD from being copied.

    Last time I checked, CDex or EAC won't copy anything in WMA to a blank CD.

  21. You ever tried to upgrade those small Compaqs? on Intel Preps Mac mini Look-Alike · · Score: 0

    With those god-awful riser cards and sculpted curved front bezels, I don't see how anyone who buys these things cares about upgrading.

  22. "Buttload" quantifies things on w00t is 3rd Favorite Non-Dictionary Word · · Score: 0

    I say it a buttload of times. Maybe my use of this word says something about me that I am unaware of. w00t?

  23. Is that a false color image of Titan? on Titan Moon's Bright Hot Spot · · Score: 0

    I thought Titan had an opaque orange atmosphere. False color imaging makes this hotspot stand out alot more than it otherwise would, no?

  24. Rural customers on Earthlink Sponsors Cheap Linux PCs · · Score: 0

    Everyone seems to forget about the people who don't live in urban areas. Dialup is still many people's only option. There are still many places in this country where FM radio doesn't get to.

  25. Satellites shmattelites on Sirius in Negotiations With Apple · · Score: 0

    Is it conceivable that a future iPod could detect if it is in a WiFi hotspot and offer up a new main menu option of "Radio" accordingly?
