  1. Re:The glow filter is actually useful on What's New With IE, Firefox, Opera · · Score: 1

    If she uses MSIE, I would give up on her. She's not worth it.

  2. Re:Firefox Compatibility on Firefox 3D Canvas FPS Engine · · Score: 2, Informative

    But it works fine in Safari 1.3+.

  3. Re:Its by all means illegal on The Place Of Modern MIDI Music? · · Score: 1

    Fox employs a whole team of people to take care of music licensing issues. Do you really think Fox would risk breaking the law with one of the highest-profile shows on television in the US?

  4. Real Ultimate Power! on Cow Tipping is a Myth · · Score: 1

    But then it was a Ninja cow and it totally flipped out and killed people! And it's because cows are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet.

  5. Re:Tivo question on Yahoo! Plans to Connect Services With Tivo · · Score: 4, Informative

    It acutally "dials home" with an internal modem nightly to retrieve data from TiVo's servers. Or, as an alternative, you can get a USB network connector and it'll grab stuff more or less instantly.

    If you read the Yahoo-Tivo signup page, it'll say, "Your request will be automatically sent to your home the next time your TiVo box connects. Please allow one hour if your TiVo is connected to broadband through your home network, 36 hours if your TiVo uses dialup."

  6. x86 is a fossil on A Look At Bootstrapping · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All this article says to me is how old and convoluted the x86 architecture is. I mean, all these memory restrictions and limits, all there for the sake of backwards compatibility. And we've just kept building on the same platform, so there's no way out.

  7. Re:As a record store owner. on New Bill Threatens to Plug "Analog Hole" · · Score: 1

    A horseless carriage is an automobile.

  8. Re:... until removed or deleted. on More on Sony's "DRM Rootkit" · · Score: 1

    A small nitpick: they did sell you a CD, because the CD is indeed the medium, just not standard Audio CD. It would still rightly count as at least a Data CD.

  9. Re:DUPE? on More on Sony's "DRM Rootkit" · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not a dupe, an update. Surely additional viewpoints on an issue as large as this warrants additional coverage.

  10. Re:Great News on 'NBC Nightly News' to Be Shown on Internet · · Score: 1
  11. Re:A Great Send-Off on Transparent Aluminum a Reality · · Score: 1

    He wasn't berating you for the lack of accent, but the fact that you mentioned a stringed instrument.

  12. Re:Hah! My life is about to get 10x more difficult on Samsung To Pay Out $300 Million In Anti-Trust Suit · · Score: 1

    Unique? Are you Samsung's only customer support rep? I guess that explains the hellishly long hold times...

  13. Olioliolioooooo! on Python vs. Alligator · · Score: 1

    Urrg....crab.....battle!

  14. Re:article text on When to Leave That First Tech Job · · Score: 1
    Or, from Star Trek III:
    Kirk: Mr. Scott, have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four?
    Scotty: Certainly, sir! How else would I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?
  15. Re:Maybe she'll help out when they impeach Bush on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm sorry, what is irritating?

    (from der Wikipedia, emphasis mine) Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body formally levels charges against a high official of government. Impeachment does not necessarily mean removal from office; it comprises only a formal statement of charges, akin to an indictment in criminal law, and thus is only the first step towards possible removal.

    Clinton was actually impeached due to the fact that there were impeachment hearings.

  16. Re:Maybe she'll help out when they impeach Bush on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    Clinton was impeached for lying . Granted, it's on a scale a few orders of magnitude worse than Bush's lies, but he still lied.

  17. Re:This is not a good sign.... on Advent Children Director Wants To Redo FFVII · · Score: 1

    They don't all just end with C... look at them. AC. BC. CC. DC. If they add anything else (which I don't think they will) it would have to be something like Final Fantasy VII: Evil Cranberry or something.

  18. Re:Dead Animals on Ladies and Gentlemen Allow Me to Introduce the Cat Car · · Score: 1

    And I imagine it would be even worse if they could sell these kitty corpses to Conoco or whoever to make fuel. One-day turnaround.

  19. Re:Apple and its own tail. on Why the Rokr Phone Is An Important Failure · · Score: 1

    Waittaminute...are you saying that the next iTunes phone will be made by IBM?

  20. Re:Zonk is a fucking idiot on FFVII Advent Children Leaked · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ACs already have a bad name.

  21. Re:Bring it on. on Blu Ray Drive Will Cost $100 Per PlayStation 3 · · Score: 1

    Keep telling yourself that. It was originally supposed to come out mid-2004. Doesn't look like they made that, did they? If it gets pushed back again, it'll be past the PS2's marketable lifespan, and they'll reengineer for PS3, if they haven't started already.

  22. Tatsumakisenpukyaku! on Capcom May Be Prepping Street Fighter 4 · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think the series lost most of it's innovation after Street Fighter Alpha 2. Yes, SF3 (and it's siblings) is a good game, and in many ways better than SFA2, it didn't innovate much, it just tweaked.

    In order for SF4 to be praised by anyone that matters, I think it will have to innovate.

    (BTW: I hope Ken is there.)

  23. ET: Electric Terrestrial on Communications Infrastructure No Match for Katrina · · Score: 1

    What do you expect if the entire infrastructure is land-based copper, and most of everything else is heavily damaged as well?

    RF isn't a great answer, either, not as a viable backup for the entire tellecommunications infrastructure, because you only have so much bandwidth in the air before you start frying people with microwave, and the FCC isn't likely to open up frequencies, even in times of emergency like this. That's not to mention electricity distrobution.

  24. Re:That Q dude on Walter Koenig Reprises His Role as Chekov · · Score: 1

    What does John DeLancie have to do with this at all?

  25. SimFinance? on EA Banking On The Future · · Score: 1

    Did anyone see the title and think that EA might be making a bank simulator in the future?
