  1. Drueling on Google Planning Web Browser? · · Score: 0

    I salivate at the thought of Google pouring funding into a browser and an OS. Just think how much a company like Google can improve firefox, and then, to really blow your mind, think of how Google can improve other open source projects, such as...oh...
    *NIX?
    let me be the first to not only welcome our new computing software overlords, but also to grovel at their feet to be included in their beta testing :)

  2. bittorrent? on Music Download Service Targets Linux Desktops · · Score: 0

    last i checked, bittorrent supported a linux client

    :)

    on a more serious note, is there a way that bittorrent would be a viable alternative to other downloading methods for purchasing music? The only thing i can think of is getting the music via torrent, then purchasing the liscense. Theres gotta be an easier way.

    YAY FINALS!, oh wait, booooooooooo

  3. software ruined my grades on Open Source Math Software For Education? · · Score: 0

    i can honestly say that computing software ruined my grades, not in college, sometimes mathmatica/mathcad are absolutely necessary, but the fact that i used computing software and my holy TI-89, ruined my learning in high school. Sure, i love them now, that i'm passed calc 1-3 and matrix math..ect...but because i did even the basic graphing/matrixes/differentiation..ect....all upper math, i did horrible on my tests where i was not allowed to use my 89 or a computer. Take if from me, using computers in math at too young an age/development in mathmatics is a VERY BAD THING. Hell...i have enough problems figuring out what 7*12 is..... and yes...i do run an emulated ti-89 on my computer Oct

  4. Re:Alarms on Location-Based Encryption · · Score: 0

    a friend of mine had his car stolen...and when they found it in a ditch like 5 miles away, the only things missing were the sterio and the alarm system :) heh

  5. Re:Long live the true scientist! on DOE Report on Cold Fusion · · Score: 0

    As long as its not Doc Oc from spiderman ill be ok with it...and no, he doesnt have a beard.

  6. EE does lumberjack on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 0

    Sounds weird eh? But in ca-naa-dee-a, you have to be able to be flexable. I cut wires at work and then cut trees at work, they're along the same lines...kinda

  7. Re:Predicting a Security Hole on Microsoft's Upcoming Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 0
    "The best part will be that's it'll the default configuration."
    Honest to god dude, you need to go back to grammar school, that's the worst I've seen on here in a while. As a side note, I find Apple's computer searching tool to be better than anything available for PC, including Google Desktop search...however, PC is still my drug of choice (I'm an addict, what can I say).
  8. ITS IN THE GAME! on EA Games: The Human Story · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ok, so many of you probably dont like EA Sports games, but personally, Im a sports fan/athlete and a computer geek. Odd combo...i know. Anywho, Ive been playing their Madden Football 2k5 for a couple days on franchise mode, and i have to say it IS better than in the past (i remember madden 64, that game was fun too i guess)...but there is something REALLY anoying about it....on every option that is new about the game...it says NEW in a big lettered yellow tag. It almost makes me wanna not play it. One other thing that needs improvement, the anouncing. Its like the John madden anouncing of console football games, oh wait it is :P

  9. Anoying Hotmail on Gmail Adds POP3 To Email Accounts · · Score: 1

    As long as they dont pull a hotmail and start sending emails to all their users ill be happy with gmail. Got my pop gmail working great B.T.W. Finally everything i wanted outta gmail.

  10. Take a hint on The Future of Star Wars Gaming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think Georgy boy should take a hint from the Matrix and the LOTR if he ever chooses to make episodes 7-9 and release them at most 1 year apart, this suspense is killing me here...i wanna know when Anakin knocks up Padme, before or after he becomes Darth....(shit...did i spill the beans?)
