  1. Re:What's the deal? on EU Sleuths Think Microsoft Sabotaged Windows · · Score: 1

    And moreso to this evidence of Microsoft worthiness, is the fact that they included a "disconnect" feature for internet connections. This provides perfect safety on the computer! Compatibility is completely different of a story though...

  2. What's the deal? on EU Sleuths Think Microsoft Sabotaged Windows · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can easily say without any evidence that they tampered with IE too. There's something wrong with ActiveX...

  3. Will the pain and suffering ever cease!? on World of Warcraft Outage Charted · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I wonder if this is ever going to be sorted out, or if it's going to be one of those neverending disappointments like Daikatana was?

  4. Shit guys... on How the Spam Industry is Sustained · · Score: 1

    Well... I'm STILL waiting on my f_re3 V.iagra. Will it ever come?

  5. Heh. on Web Design Hampers Mobile Internet? · · Score: 1

    I'm suuuure that most people want to view Tokyo Plastic on their blackberry or PDA. It's simply a needed thing.

  6. Eureka! on The Perfect Halo 3 · · Score: 1

    Personally, the only "cramming" that would be going on is cramming an enormous ending into Halo 3. Half the game would be an ending. The reason? To make up for the first two games' endings. I think it would sell very well.

    +30 Informative. Damn.

  8. Re:Climate change? on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 1

    That is if we don't freeze it with a dash of nuclear winter first. That's always a pretty big hurdle to jump.

    Dibs on being the guy who steps on them first!

  10. The guide is useful for those who don't know... on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Here in Oklahoma City (No, I'm not native. I'm from MA), I work on the Geek Squad. I'm the only one with either an A+, N+ or C++ in the whole store, let alone the GS. It turns out that most people, when they think they know what they're talking about, say nothing but buzzwords like Pentium and Windows. They don't know what the difference between 802.11b and g are, and the other blokes on the Geek Squad don't even know that there IS a g. Building a computer isn't anything near as difficult as remembering what FSB freqencies are possible on a socket 370, building a computer is more like a Lego set. Things can go a few certain ways, but there's only one right way. If it doesn't fit, it doesn't belong. If only people knew even the basics about computers, Best Buy's tech bench would go out of business, and I'd move back into my Kenmore vacuum box in the alleyway.

    Oh you don't even know! Golf balls and gardenhoses shudder in fear in my presence.

  13. This is soon to fall. on Firefox and Open Standards the Way Forward · · Score: 2, Insightful

    After a while, the Firefox uptake will slow and so will its overall satisfaction rates, seeing as how I'm already getting popups on some sites now. Sure Firefox is infinitely safer than browsing in IE for excessive reasons, but at the same time, it's only safe because the whole malware world isn't targeting it. When IE7 comes out, I can only imagine a handbrake-style stop in Firefox growth.

  14. Re:Good move Hasbro on e-Scrabble gets Cease and Desist Order from Hasbro · · Score: 1

    Or, they'll just move onto other and better games, like Blokus.

    That is... until THEY get shut down for copying Tetris.

  15. I don't get it on Playstation 3 Development Underway · · Score: 5, Funny

    What's with all of this Playstation stuff? I've still got my NES.

  16. Re:Your off hours are for stress relief on State-Sponsored Solitaire? · · Score: 1

    Well not everyone has the ability to take a vacation, holiday, or weekend... and most breaks that I've had ended up with me buying lunch, sitting down for 2 seconds, and having to sprint back to work within the 15 minute allotted time.

    Is there any law prohibiting beer in the work place? I'm sure I can relieve some stress that way, as well as a brain-cell or two.

    Touché.

  18. I'm lost on Dutch A.G. Supports Scientology v. Spaink Verdict · · Score: 1

    What's this? Science versus bondage?

    But anyways, this makes sense coming from the country who's suffering a sort of civil war between the radical Muslims and the radical Christians. Just Europe being nice and patent-y.

  19. Damn. It was a good letter too. on Wisconsin Researchers Create Nano-Bio-Circuits · · Score: 1

    Built into a sensor, such a capability would enable real-time detection of dangerous biological agents, including anthrax and other microbial pathogens.

    So this means I can't mail my senator my letters?

  20. When that day comes... on The Rise of Smart Buildings · · Score: 1

    The day that my house automatically detects and finds drivers for the hardware I just installed is the day that I call my house "smart". Or any building for that matter.

    But either way, I would want one of those sets of robots like in the Fifth Element, so I can call a robot to pound on my back when I choke on a cherry.

    My record is one hour. Then again, I was TRYING to kill it. But still. One hour. You should've seen what I could('nt) do when it was... not... working right. Fun fun.

    What happened to all those claims from Micro$oft that Linux is more unsafe than Windows?

    Oh shyte, here comes the return of the tin-hat men!

  24. Domination on Linux-based Bluetooth Robot · · Score: 1

    For some reason, this reminds me of that little remote-controlled spy cockroach in the Fifth Element. If only we could have a huge slew of these little robots... we could have a fleet that could take over the world! Except mountains. Reception sucks up there.

  25. Well... Think about it. on Windows XP Starter Edition off to Slow Start · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I imagine people don't like to have their number of possible network connections restrained by the host operating system. Well people wouldn't get this OS if they want to start a server. Or download music. I assume they want to pretty much learn what a "pointer device" is.
