  1. Re:"More dramatic and darker"? B.S. on New Star Wars TV Series Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I had read "score" and assumed "screenplay" :P

  2. Re:In many countries... on DRM More Important Than Life or Security? · · Score: 1

    No. You'll get two sentences that way.

  3. Re:"More dramatic and darker"? B.S. on New Star Wars TV Series Confirmed · · Score: 1

    note that Indiana Jones is basically a really awful movie that is saved by an enchanting combination of a fun score, the kinetic influence of Spielberg, and chemistry among the actors

    So what's the bad part?

  4. Re:Actually... on New Star Wars TV Series Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Very nice link, thanks :)

    If anything, this makes the old episodes seem even more interesting, contrarily to what many people say here...

  5. Re:In IE, it's all automatic on Mozilla Firefox 2.0 Alpha Peeking Out (Or Not) · · Score: 1

    Not with the popup blocker ;)

  6. Re:Umm.. on Early Adopters Experiencing More Bugs? · · Score: 1

    Your bottle of water was probably lighter than all the air on the room you were at.

    I, on the other hand, tried with an object heavier than all the air in the room but less dense, and it didn't fall towards the ground either ;)

    Oops, no I didn't, that object wouldn't fit in the room :P Or maybe it would, since air doesn't necessarily fill all (or even a big part) of a room.

    OK, that was enough, back to work now ;)

  7. Re:Please don't ruin tabbed browsing... on Mozilla Firefox 2.0 Alpha Peeking Out (Or Not) · · Score: 4, Informative

    IE7 Beta 2 solves this by showing the close button in the tab, but only for the currently open tab - I'd say this is the second best solution after having the option on the preferences (which I haven't checked if IE has).

  8. Re:Nothing To See Here on Internet Searches Reveal CIA's Secrets · · Score: 5, Informative

    BugMeNot rules! If you install the firefox extension (I think there's also an IE one), all you have to do is right click on one of the authentication text boxes and press "Login with BugMeNot"...

  9. Re:Aaaah Maxxuss on Skype 5-way Calling Limit Cracked · · Score: 1

    I don't think so.

  10. MOD PARENT UP on Robotic 'Pack Mule' with Impressive Reflexes · · Score: 1

    See subject :P

  11. Re:I don't get it on Fuel Cells for Laptops Due Next Week · · Score: 1

    It's a joke of course, about how badass he seems on his movies, and the excessive roundhouse kicking.

  12. Re:WTF? on Fuel Cells for Laptops Due Next Week · · Score: 1
  13. Re:A bit hypocritical on Apple Embeds Message to OS X Hackers · · Score: 1

    You're a bit right, but one needs a lot more nerve to criticize someone for doing something as evil as something you did in the past! And you might even be criticized for doing it yourself. Hey, if you don't want to be judged by your actions every day, don't live...

  14. Re:ummm on Shortlist of Possible ET Addresses · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you would like to learn a new word!

  15. Re:Sense of humor... on Apple Embeds Message to OS X Hackers · · Score: 1

    Seems Apple has a sense of humor

    Depending on the definition of "humor", yes... Besides, that text was probably put in by one or two programmers - it could happen in any company.

  16. Sorry on Take Two Shareholders to sue over Hot Coffee · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Sorry, but this makes it seem like the Western world is as futile and dumb as those Muslims who can't stand the fact that someone who doesn't follow their religion is free to make some stupid drawings and publish them on a newspaper which has no connection with them. Why don't people everywhere care about IMPORTANT issues such as the Iran case?

  17. Re:Anonymity? on Interview with a Botmaster · · Score: 1

    Was that inserted by hand back at the washington post's offices? If that was the case, it was a really stupid thing to do...

  18. Re:What is the quality of MSN's search like? on Microsoft Hopes Prizes Will Attract New Searchers · · Score: 1

    Have you tried giving the url to google here?

  19. Re:Fun with sci-fi and exponential growth on A 1.2 Petabyte Hard Drive? · · Score: 1

    Assume each synapse requires 1MB of storage to capture its functions and state information. (Yeah, I think this is a lowball estimate.)

    Why would you say it's a low estimate? Not knowing much about the subject I definitely wouldn't say so!

  20. Re:Predictions of "4-5 years away" - google issue on A 1.2 Petabyte Hard Drive? · · Score: 1
    I get 106... So we've got three different results right now.

    Moreover, I can get 125 if I use the new experimental Google server.

    Experimental google server?
  21. Re:So... on Core Duo Power Sapping Bug is Microsoft Issue · · Score: 1

    Well, having RTFA now I see it is indeed - but the /. summary is so badly written that it makes the issue seem irrelevant.

  22. So... on Core Duo Power Sapping Bug is Microsoft Issue · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is this news?
