  1. Re:it started with sony removing other os on Playstation To Restore Services This Week · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you should vote with your wallet, and buy a Wii :)

  2. I'm famous! on Light Painting Wi-Fi · · Score: 2

    Or at least my Wi-Fi network is. They used my building about two minutes in :)

  3. Re:Evolve or die..... on Decline In US Newspaper Readership Accelerates · · Score: 1

    It will be. From the ashes, a phoenix always rises; though not always in the same form. //I think I'm gonna go write an epic poem now...

  4. Is this strictly legal? on Comcast Hinders BitTorrent Traffic · · Score: 1

    Considering the contracts in place between the ISP and the user, and the promises made in advertisement, is this legal? Couldn't a user simply demand that they remove this block?

    In Europe this wouldn't work for more than a week or so.

  5. WTF? on Walmart Rejects Firefox and Safari · · Score: 5, Funny

    And the internets was all like "double-you tee eff, mate?"

  6. Re:Sure I'm still excited. on More Spore Details from DICE Summit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course I agree, but looking at it from the dreaded Business Point of View(tm), a year extra in development is a lot of extra expenditures in salary and other costs, and it does not guarantee better sales. (In fact, a years delay might sour the deal for some people, not to mention the "buzz" might be gone by the time the game is actually released).

  7. Re:*What* VirusControl? on Microsoft's Vista AV Fails Certification · · Score: 5, Informative

    Norman was founded in 1984, well before Peter Norton made an antivirus utility.

    Thanks for playing, though!

  8. Re:Good! on Norway Outlaws iTunes · · Score: 1

    Yes it is. However, there ARE no PlaysForSure content providers in Norway, so that poing is moo. Like a cows opinion.

  9. Re:Ubermensch on Who are CIOs Planning to Hire Next? · · Score: 1

    Why do you have to unlearn PL/SQL to learn budgetplanning?
    People learn things all their lives, not just while they are in school. Keep training yourself. If the company won't spring for courses, pick up a few books on select topics, and read once in a while. Not every day, not every week even, but read two-three books a year, and your brain stays alert.

  10. Rope to the rescue! on Astronauts Pull Off Risky Spacewalk · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How about using a rope tied to the suit? Seems like a low-tech solution, but might end up saving a life.

  11. Neutralized on City of Vienna Chooses Linux · · Score: 0

    Damn it, I though those Austrians were neutral in the OS-wars!

  12. Here's what I want on Social Bookmarking Services Revisited · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I want a service that lets me se which sites other people recommend that I visit, based on the site that I'm currently on.
    Could be solved by a mix of RSS-feed and Firefox plugin?

    Anything like this exists?

    Oh, and it should be easy as hell to input a new site, or it will never be popular...

  13. Re:No Thanks on Smart Guns are Coming · · Score: 1

    And when was the last time you were hit with an EMP pulse? ;)

  14. Oh my god! on Adding Pizazz to Your RAM · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ohhh! My! God! That's soooo cool!

  15. This is probably incorrect on Half-Life 2 Going Gold on Monday? [updated] · · Score: -1, Redundant

    As noted on http://www.csnation.net/, this is not confirmed by Valve or Vivendi.

  16. Current Mozilla Browser out? on Mozilla Branding Strategy Clarified · · Score: 1

    So if FireBird/Mozilla/TheBestDamnedBrowser is going to be the default Mozilla Browser (a Good Thing(tm)), is the Mozilla we all know and sorta like going to go away?
    In other words, will FB take over Mozilla-Vanilla's role in the Mozilla.exe/tar.gz that most people download? SeaMonkey or whatever it's codename is :)

  17. Damn You!!! on Pixar Eclipses Sun with Linux/Intel · · Score: 1

    Just when good ole' Sun was showing a sparc of life again, here comes naughty dirty Lintel and pulls the rug from underneath them...

  18. Not supreme court on 'DVD Jon' Acquitted On All Counts in DeCSS Case · · Score: 5, Informative

    The ruling came from the norwegian "Tingrett", which is one of the lower courts. Hence, an appeal will almost certainly be made before the two week deadline is up.
    It ain't over till the fat geek burps...

  19. Re:Why? on Tenebrae Quake · · Score: 1

    So? Even if you're not a sucker for sweet graphics, this doesn't hurt anyone. And chances are the developer learned a lot from this, and so will lots of other people who like this sort of thing.
    I for one am downloading it (as soon as the site becomes available again) and am looking forward to trying it out on my GF4. I really like Quake 1, and I can't wait to see the (even) better graphics.

    In short: grow the hell up, stop nagging and fire up your NES machine/emulator for a nice game of Mario Bros instead.

  20. Oblig. Monty ref.: on Turbolinux Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    This is an ex-distro!
