  1. Re:Imagine the google adds... on Google Launches Online Spreadsheet System · · Score: 1

    That is an very good point, they offer full POP3 support... and if they where doing something shifty you would think they would lock you into the web interface.

    But don't let me stop you from folding that little sheet of tinfoil from Chipotle into a makeshift hat.

    Mmmmmm... Cipotle flavored hat....

  3. Imagine the google adds... on Google Launches Online Spreadsheet System · · Score: 2, Funny

    I assume that once you share (or simply upload) a spreadsheet you will see targeted adds based on it's content.

    Adds for stuff like financial planing, calculators, MS Office and of course WoW gold.

  4. Re:Combine DRM-ed and Explicit Language warnings on U.K. Group Wants DRM'd Media Labeled · · Score: 1

    Heh... I don't need DRM, the packaging (driven by actual theft) provides enough explicit language for me.

    One of these days all this is going to get so bad that the courts will have to act... hopefully the RIAA and MPAA lobyists don't get more laws that would prevent that from hapening passed.

  5. Re:Dupe on DirectX 10 Only On Vista · · Score: 1

    Since when is posting a rumor then posting later when it turns out to be true duplication? Log in and troll like you have a spine.

  6. Re:MMOGs on Where's the Massive in MMOGs? · · Score: 1

    That is my point... the "real" game is the whole game not the end game or the beginning or the middle.

  7. Re:MMOGs on Where's the Massive in MMOGs? · · Score: 1

    I think saying that the endgame of dungeon running and PvP is the "real" game is BS. Plenty of people hit the level cap in a game and quit soon after... or sit around and bitch that there is nothing to do.

  8. Re:Good on USPTO Rules Fogent JPEG Patent Invalid · · Score: 0, Redundant
    How in the world does the first post get modded redundant?

    Recursion?
  9. Re:Do you want a pony too? on Fixes for WinXP Ignoring Novell Disk Mapping? · · Score: 1

    Yep that is the solution we use... Trhe way to fix it of course is to get the users to use UNC but that will never happen.

  10. Re:Where is the disconnect? on Don't Blame The Games, Blame The Parent · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That is interesting...

    I remember being lectured over and over as a child that television and cartoons are fiction, I also remember trying to explain to adults that I understood the concept.

    I have always had a very vibrant imagination and a good memeory for detail I think this is why I like science Fiction like Stargate, BSG, B5 and Star Trek... I can ususaly keep the minor details of the setting sorted out (without focusing on how "unrealistic" it all is) which usualy makes these kinds of shows more enjoyable.

    I think grounding your kids too deeply in reality is a bad idea... children need to have there imaginations stimulated otherwise they lose them... having said that parents should do there best to be involved in there childs life for a number of reasons but in this case mostly to make sure they don't get to out of touch with reality.

  11. Re:desperation on Apple and Nike Team up for iPod Shoe Interface · · Score: 1

    I have 5 iPods in my left shoe alone... speek for your self.

  12. Re:Neat! on .Mobi Could Spur Wireless Web · · Score: 1

    Not if it is all aligned in a little 10 charecter wide column. look at the google for mobile phones page and now imagine the NYT site in that format.

  13. Re:Neat! on .Mobi Could Spur Wireless Web · · Score: 1

    lack of content and lots of scrolling most likely.

  14. Re:When can you get one? on .Mobi Could Spur Wireless Web · · Score: 1

    I don't see why not... if you can get the trademark approved (meaning no one has rights to that domain).

    Just don't stat a busness named google.mobi and you should be fine.

  15. Mobil Slashdot! on .Mobi Could Spur Wireless Web · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's the last think I need... as if talking on my cell phone wasn't bad enough while driving.

  16. Re:Cancer on Scientists Search Deep Sea Reefs for Wonder Drugs · · Score: 1

    WMF,

    Take it down a notch man... He (or she) was likely just joking...

    And yeah us daily posters are sick in the head... did that come as a shock to you?

  17. Re:nothing to hide on Zimmermann, Encrypted VoIP, and Uncle Sam · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How do you even know what you need to hide anymore?

    The meaning of the word terrorist could change at any moment and the deffinition of enemy combatant is equaly fluid.

    Your logic is flawed anyway... criminals are not the only group who like privacy.

  18. Re:Moby Dick? on Cranky Editorials About Videogames · · Score: 1

    Okay then... How about Andy Dick?

  19. Re:Standing your ground... on Wired Releases Full Text of AT&T NSA Document · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That is very true, you have to know when to fight your battles.

  20. Re:Call Me Ishmae*SZZZNNNNNKK* on Cranky Editorials About Videogames · · Score: 1

    Sorry if I wasn't clear, those are two seprate statments, Dickens is often refered to as a "classic" author.

    I can see where you got that though.

  21. Re:Call Me Ishmae*SZZZNNNNNKK* on Cranky Editorials About Videogames · · Score: 1

    From the perspective of a liturature teacher things may be diffrent...

    Reading Moby Dick or other "classic" works of fiction is "required" as a base point of comparison if you intend to spend the rest of your life picking apart fiction and sucking any enjoyment out of it.

    Having said that I am an avid reader, I have not read Moby Dick, I think Dickens is boring and I play the occasonal game, if this makes me uneducated in the eyes of someone with a doctorate in nit-picking so be it.

  22. Did anyone else... on Henry's Python Programming Guide · · Score: 0

    See the title and think "Who is Henry Python and what does he know about programing"?

    I need to get more sleep.

  23. Re:hmmm.. on Biggest Obstacle of Nuclear Fusion Overcome? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Right and most "A'mur'icans" think they are the only ones who read the internet. Honestly I am very ashamed of my countrymen on a consistant basis anymore.

    I use AVG at home and would recomend the free version to anyone.

  25. Re:Coupled with Gonzales's remarks below... on Wired Releases Full Text of AT&T NSA Document · · Score: 4

    Good for you man... I see too often that people focus on avoidng punishment more than doing what is right or even establishing right and wrong for themselves rather than letting a talking head do it.
