  1. B.I.N.G on Microsoft Rebrands Live Search As "Bing" · · Score: 1

    Ballmer Is Not Gates

    Ballmer's Ideas Never Gel

    Ballmer's Into Negating Google

  2. Re:Can Oscar's be given posthumously? on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1, Informative

    Agreed. Over the decades, the Batman comics moved from dark to campy to dark again.

    Agreed. This timeline discusses it somewhat humorously.

  3. Leopard's only real BSOD on Leopard Upgraders Getting "Blue Screen of Death" · · Score: 0

    Leopard does feature the Blue Screen of Death, but not during install:

    A bit snarky if true

    "Hello."

    "Calls recorded for quality"

    "What? Who is this?

    "Sorry about that, it's my gPhone?"

    "Oh, that's weird. They're recording us?"

    "Yeah, I guess. So anyway did you get the test results?"

  5. Re:cool. on COWS Ajax - Ajax Evolved · · Score: 1, Funny

    Am I the ony one that finds this technology udderly useless?

  6. Re:Ignoring all the stupid crap on Steve Irwin Dead · · Score: 0

    Well played

  7. Re:We're missing the real news here on More to the North Star Than Meets the Eye · · Score: 0

    Maybe they're confusing Polaris with Northstar?

  8. Obligatory on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 0

    I feel a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

  9. Re:What about the weather? on Google Calendar Coming Soon? · · Score: 0

    Weather Underground was pure awesome during the several hurricanes I had to endure here in Florida. I think it was the best collection of datasets and imagery of all the places I was searching. When the power went out, I'd turn on the laptop, use my backup free dial-up, and check wunderground.com to see how things were going.

  10. Adama on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "The entire ensemble cast returns."

    I guess that clears up the season cliffhanger. I didn't think it was likely that they would kill off any of the major cast members. (I won't say who it was because I'm too lazy to put up spoiler warnings)

  11. Re:Have you actually used GIMP 2.2? on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 1

    I gave GIMP several months to convince me. Then I went and paid for a full version of PS. GIMP needs more work. It is nowhere near a clean and stable version I would rely on in my design work. When it starts to feel as polished as Firefox, then it will have a chance. I know what it takes to learn software. The GIMP didn't even offer me incentive to learn it. I would use it for image resizing because I had no other alternative at the time, but actual photo/design work? I shudder to recall it. What they have so far is a great advance for open source, but it feels like 0.7 not 2.0.
