  1. thanks for the link on Looking Into The Power Architecture Future · · Score: 4, Funny

    to IBM's website.

    I hate it when articles are posted about small, obscure companies and then I can't find their website.

  2. Re:The great indicator... on Venus Transit Finished · · Score: 1

    Life is a sexually transmitted disease!

    Ahem...I believe it goes...

    Life is a disease - sexually transmitted and fatal

  3. Re:Great if you hate musicians. on Apple Music Store Coming to Europe & iTunes in China · · Score: 0

    If you like stiffing artists that's your business. I'll stick with a system where at least a little money get's back to the artists I like.

    Sorry, I can't manage that. It like buying $10 in postage to send a $2 check.

  4. Re:pros and digital on 12GB CompactFlash Cards Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    when people compare it to medium format, they're comparing it to 6x4.5, which is the smallest format medium format offers. its still nowhere near 6x7, which is what most people mean when they say medium format.

  5. Re:Deal? or "The fat capatalist perspective" on McDonald's and Sony Offer Music Downloads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    wait....so its Apple's fault that musicians have contracts with the music industry that control how much they make per song? And Apple's evil for taking 35 cents out of every song - just to cover expenses?

    And how do you support musicians? By writing them a personal check?

  6. Re:HTML on Programming For Terrified Adults? · · Score: 1

    thats a really good idea.....

    if his mom is hot!

  7. Re:pros and digital on 12GB CompactFlash Cards Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    looooong time....

    you've obviously never dealt with color management. many top photographers don't even understand it. (thats where i come in)

  8. Re:pros and digital on 12GB CompactFlash Cards Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Customers vastly prefer digital in most cases. Pros who claim they're faster/better with film are outright lying to save their own skins; digital offers instant previewing of composition, exposure, and focus (btw, don't buy a digital camera without a histogram mode in the review function!)



    I think you're overstating the value of digital. The photographer needs to work with whatever he's most comfortable with. On most jobs, prints or transparencies need to be delivered anyway because its so difficult to set up a consistent digital workflow. Yeah, anything extremely time sensitive it done digital, but many many things aren't. Also, if you're going above 35mm, you're losing quality if you're going with a digital back over film.

  9. I'd also like to point out... on Origins of Mac OS X's runscript Security Hole · · Score: 4, Informative

    that Little Snitch helps to prevent some of these exploits as well...

    http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/

    when i tried to run the example hack on the Paranoid Android site, Little Snitch warned me that I was trying to mount a remote disk image which i was able to cancel.

  10. Everything I know... on Schizophrenia Experiences and Suggestions? · · Score: 1
  11. but isn't google doing a disservice... on Google's Software Principles · · Score: 2, Funny

    but isn't google doing a disservice to people that don't know about google?

    millions of people would be greatful for their spam!

  13. Re:Troll Posts asside, Apple seems stupid here... on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Preview at WWDC · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't have asked a question if I weren't prepared for a contradictory answer

    Haha...gotta love slashdot! ;)

  14. Re:Troll Posts asside, Apple seems stupid here... on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Preview at WWDC · · Score: 1

    so really, your main problem with OS X is not the actual product but the marketing of it.

    i'll get back to you when i find a product that has been marketed in an "accurate" manner

  15. Re:Troll Posts asside, Apple seems stupid here... on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Preview at WWDC · · Score: 1

    Isn't this starting to feel to many Mac users like an upgrade roller-coaster?

    Not really, every year mac os x is getting significantly better for nearly everyone and compatibility across the various versions tends to be very good. (Yes! Apple releases security updates for 10.2!)

    these upgrades are as bad as Windows

    Bzzzt! Clearly, you haven't used _any_ of them!

  16. Wordperfect scrolling test? on Previewing ATi's Radeon X800 XT & X800 Pro · · Score: 4, Funny

    what i'd really like to know is if these new cards will outperform my geforce 2mx in wordperfect scrolling.

  17. Re:CSS Zen Garden on Core CSS (2nd ed.) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...unless you have a mostly mac audience, in which case Mac IE 5 barfs on many of the designs.

    Yes, yes, Apple now makes Safari, but its going to take a long time for the more clueless users to switch. (I know, I've tried...)

  18. Re:5million, because they want a credit card. on iTunes 4.5 Authentication Cracked · · Score: 1

    FairPlay is the new CSS!

  20. Re:External Antenna Port Worthwhile? on Power Over Ethernet for AirPort Base Station · · Score: 1

    I noticed that the Dr. Bott is more expensive than the lucent. To be honest, I think you will be disappointed to spend a hundred bucks and find only marginal improvement.


    Been there, done that. 5dB boost is about all you'll get out of most base stations. For me, the cheap boosters at radioshack worked as well as the $100 antenna i ordered.

  21. Re:G5 Laptops on PowerBooks & iBooks Get Speed Bumped · · Score: 1

    Have you seen the cooling system in the desktop G5s?

    You wanna lug that around?

  24. Re:Better yet, don't send anything... on Messenger Spacecraft Prepared for Mercury · · Score: 1

    This is another example of a space exploration project that should be shelved until the problems on Earth are dealt with.

    ....and the problems with earth are solvable entirely by engineers? Ah yes, nothing to do with cheap oil. or an industry dedicated to finding more of it. or your general suv loving suburbanites.

    why not make children smarter before they are born



    its not going to start there. its going to start with protecting people from disease. thats something any religion is going to have a hard time saying is wrong. sure, at some point down the road will be making choices based on vanity but plastic surgery allows that already. and plenty of people opt out of it.
