  1. Re:Oh, damn... on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    Lol :) I didn't even knew what randy means. Thanks for the new word :)

  2. This article will probably enlighten you on Sony and Toshiba Give Up On Unified DVD Format · · Score: 5, Informative

    Read this fine article. It has six sections, I enjoyed it a lot. Well written, unbiased, and to the point.

  3. WOW... on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    ... a loose buddy list! That's probably one of the features google IM will have! To tell the truth I'm already getting tired of the tense contact list I have now.

    jk, jk...

  4. Re:Pah... on Vietnam Medic Makes Homemade Endoscope · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is that your page and the two of mine say exactly the same thing. By "You're wrong" I originally meant that this post was incorrect in what he said about the endoscope. Endoscope is the general term, not the one referring specifically to the stomach. A colonoscope IS an endoscope. Get it? If not, I don't know what else I can say to you.

  5. Re:Pah... on Vietnam Medic Makes Homemade Endoscope · · Score: 1

    No, it's not "wiki and dictionary.com vs a medical optics company", since they all say the same thing. Do you people know how to read? Endoscope is a generic name which includes colonoscopes and many other instruments.

    Furthermore, each book that he sells wastes some oil, which makes his prophecies self-fulfilling :)

  7. Re:Someone at google... on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    I don't see what you mean. From your post one would conclude that "talk" would indeed be an upcoming service by google.

  8. Re:Pah... on Vietnam Medic Makes Homemade Endoscope · · Score: 1

    And if you're going to supposedly correct someone who's correcting someone, be EXTRA SURE of what you say. Did you actually read the page you point at? It says exactly what I said - there are several types of endoscopes, one of which is the colonoscope.

    By the way, I didn't just post a link to a wiki, I posted another one too, as you may or may not have noticed.

  9. Mod parent extra funny :) on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

  10. Re:It's real: it's a Jabber server! on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    Why don't you try it with a bad password?

  11. Re:Wonder if this is why gmail is hosed on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    It's working perfectly here.

  12. Re:Probably not true... on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    When and where did they say that?

  13. Re:Pah... on Vietnam Medic Makes Homemade Endoscope · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but I think you're wrong.

  14. Parent is to be modded funny... on Vietnam Medic Makes Homemade Endoscope · · Score: 1

    ... unless you don't know what an endoscope is.

  15. Re:Accuracy of Google counts? on NCSA Issues Disclaimer on Google/Yahoo Study · · Score: 1

    Those estimates are pretty irrelevant for this discussion, I think. When there are many results, those estimates aren't supposed to be accurate at all, that's why the study focused on queries with very few results.

    But yes, those numbers you show are quite strange.

  16. Re:Maybe those pages never were crawled by yahoo. on NCSA Issues Disclaimer on Google/Yahoo Study · · Score: 1

    Have you read the study?

  17. Re:Yes, but... on Opening Up for Open Source · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Consider this: I have downloaded patches for more security flaws in Firefox than for IE in recent weeks.

    You say that as if you wanted to imply that Firefox has more security holes, but that's not a certain conclusion! Couldn't it be the case that Firefox just gets more attention from its developers?

    They don't. And they don't need too.

    No: The "solution to everything".

  21. Re:Few Details? No report? No paper? on New, Faster Attack against SHA-1 Revealed · · Score: 1

    Last I checked information on their last attack (2^69) was still pretty thin

    Check again.

  22. Does the article summary mean... on Nanotubes Start to Show their Promise · · Score: 1

    ... that Nanotubes are to materials as XML is to software?

  23. Re:As a nerd... on IBM Donates Code to Firefox · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but how many of the lines just say "this line left intetionally blank"?

  24. Re:Addiction on Ask Questions of the World of Warcraft Team · · Score: 1

    I guess they react like me (or at least they should) - that's a problem of the players, not of the people who make the game.
