  1. Re:Windows 7 on Windows 7 Trades Email and Photo Apps For Downloadable Ones · · Score: 1, Funny

    Perhaps Microsoft is going the Apple route and charging for service packs now? :P

  2. Re:Bad News for Halo Wars? on Ensemble Studios' Canceled Project Was Halo MMO · · Score: -1

    Instead, they were plumbers in red and green outfits. ;]

  3. Re:There is a simpler, safer solution. on How Asus Recovery Disks Ended Up Carrying Software Cracks · · Score: 0

    But that thread starter was saying that they didn't want to be bothered by limited activation keys in the future.

    Flash being it's own process would be nice...

    I'd gladly pay for your grass clippings!
    So don't think they're quite so priceless.

    I hear LifeAlert is great for this.

  8. Re:WRONG on Tenise Barker Takes On RIAA Damages Theory · · Score: 0

    I would imagine their logic as, "They distributed an illegal copy to Media Sentry, so it's highly likely they distributed copies to other users."
    Which of course doesn't actually prove that a copy was distributed to anyone else, but does seem highly likely.
    That's my take...

  9. Re:Hardware on Microsoft's "Mojave Experiment" Teaser Site Goes Live · · Score: 0

    Good point, good point.

    2GB can be had for less than thirty dollars now, so stop complaining about ram requirements.
    Perhaps Vista isn't suitable for the low-end of the income range, but a decently specd system can be built on the reasonably cheap end now.

    Call me ignorant, but just because you can run an OS on a system with 256MB of ram doesn't mean it's going to be good for everything. Basic tasks maybe, but not gaming, photo/video editing, etc.

    Note: I'm not a Vista fanboy or a Linux hater, I still use XP and I have no issues.

    A ceiling covered by an OLED sheet...
    Now that'd be really awesome...

    Or depending on how small the OLED's can be made, you could create a star/night time sky scene.

  13. Re:Are you living in 1992? on Apple Climbs Into Third Place In U.S. PC Market · · Score: 0

    Apple stock is kicking total butt right now in a stock market that sucks.

    Wait what?
    I'll give you the benefit of a doubt that you didn't check present market prices because Apple's stock is by no means "Kicking total butt".
    Perhaps last year's 110% growth....But not this year.
    AAPL is at -13.25% YTD, while the S&P 500, DOW and NASDAQ are all close to the same numbers.

  15. Re:Pushed the pre-order a bit early on Warhammer Online Sees Massive Content Removal To Make Launch · · Score: 0

    I'm sure people could work out a refund for the pre-order...I doubt they need any bad press about dropping multiple features and then locking pre-order customers in to having to pay for it still.

    Yeah, I love how we were scammed out of $200b and still have seen little network upgrades.
    At least Verizon is doing something...

    Perhaps you have too much hope in our judicial system.

  19. Re:Oh Please... on Amusement Park Bans PDAs and Smartphones · · Score: 0

    That's...Quite a bit different...

    Movie Theaters ban outside food because they sell [overpriced] food and drink products at their concession stands.

    Banning PDA's for the sake of families having fun together is different.
    Especially since PDA use != Not having fun together...

    ...high school students in West Philadelphia In west Philadelphia born and raised
    On the playground where I spent most of my days Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
