    ugly ... built on <table> tags ... did I mention ugly? ... Those monkeys working on Shakespeare could build a better site.

  2. Re:How about on Cell Phones Powered By Conversations · · Score: 1

    People who use a bluetooth won't enjoy the benefits of a cell with this technology in it.

  3. Re:Because of a lawsuit from the FSF on Dell Releases Streak Source Code · · Score: 1

    And how would anyone benefit by forcing Microsoft to release the code to Windows? Are you really going to install 'Open Source Windows' on your computer instead of a flavor of Linux just because the source would be available?

  5. Re:Who knew! on New Crypto Attack Affects Millions of ASP.NET Apps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is /. aren't you supposed to say "What a surprise, .NET has flaws!" ?

    No, no, no ... you're supposed to say "this doesn't affect Linux". But does it affect Mono?

    I'm pretty sure Les Nessman would have handled this a little differently ;-)

    "Never memorize what you can look up in books." - Albert Einstein

    As quoted in "Recording the Experience" (10 June 2004) at The Library of Congress

    Did you know that off the top of your head or did you have to Google it? ;-)

  8. Re:News To Me on How Good Software Makes Us Stupid · · Score: 5, Funny

    Right, and having a dictionary and thesaurus on my desk in easy reach is stopping me from learning new words.

    IIRC, those books will help embiggen a cromulent vocabulary.

  9. Re:I want google TV in my TV on Google TV Next Month, Boxee In November · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't want anyone's 'TV stuff' to be IN my TV. I want the option of buying any TV, TV related hardware and TV services I want separately. Bundling seems like a nice feature when it's not available from anyone but when you can only get TV-X with company-Y's TV stuff then the complaints will start streaming in.

    Game console resellers are notorious for screwing customers with 'bundling' and I'd hate to see it end up *inside* the TV hardware so I'm forced to use it if I want that particular product.

  10. Re:iPad FAIL ( +1, Helpful ) on School Swaps Math Textbooks For iPads · · Score: 1

    Since the iPads have a calculator pre-loaded and other calculators available in the iStore these students should really excel at math ;-)

    I did wonder about flash based spyware. Could a flash app take a picture from a webcam then phone home?

    Depends on if you read stories in the /. fire hose or read the articles they link to.

  13. Re:Dual core iPhone on Dual-Core CPU Opens Door To 1080p On Smartphones · · Score: 2

    As an iPhone owner I'd like to make it perfectly clear that we don't need dual cores to drop calls twice as fast. We're doing OK in that department already, TYVM.

  15. Re:Waste on Ryanair's CEO Suggests Eliminating Co-Pilots · · Score: 4, Informative

    You're gambling that a pilot, traveling without a co-pilot, never gets sick, injured or dies while flying the plane. I'm sure that's just an isolated incidence ... or maybe not.

  16. Re:7" screen? Why? on Hands-on With the iPad Alternatives On Display At IFA · · Score: 1

    This sure was a lot lamer, and a lot more work, than one of those annoying "FTFY" posts. Surely a Ralph Wiggam "Me fail English? That's unpossible" would have sufficed.

    I'm surprised one executive hasn't gotten so fed up and fired the "IE team" or replaced them with monkeys.

    Do you have any proof that they haven't been replaced by monkeys?
