  1. Re:Camino on Help Make Firefox On Mac Suck Less · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is exactly why I love Firefox, no mater what OS I am currently using on a box, I have access to a browser I know how to use. In this way projects like Firefox and OO.org may contribute to the end of desktop OS monopolies.

  2. Re:Finally, low-end distro? on OLPC Operating System Available to Download · · Score: 1

    <homer> Mmmmmmmmmmm Pentium </homer>

  3. Re:Why should it beat the ipod? on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 1

    I think that is exactly why they can't coexist. In Microsoft's (and Apple's for that matter) dream land the consumer will buy what they are told to and at a hefty margin.

  4. Re:I would like.. on DARPA Planning Liquid Robots · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People wonder why America is producing less and less Scientists and Engineers. It's because we have no imagination any more. We need to get our heads out of the sand and find something to reach for or learn to accept not being important in the world.

  5. Re:well ... on Should Chimps Have Human Rights? · · Score: 1

    I think you know what I meant...

  6. Re:well ... on Should Chimps Have Human Rights? · · Score: 1

    I have often wondered why it is hard for some to grasp that very few modern creatures have living genetic ancestors.

  7. I'm disappointed... on Astronaut to Run the Boston Marathon From Space · · Score: 1

    No mention of The Flash's time traveling space treadmill?

  8. Re:OT: Re:Is AMD beaten? on Intel Next-Gen CPU Has Memory Controller and GPU · · Score: 1

    That's all well and good but you don't have to be a jerk about it.

    If you can't see the forest for the trees I don't see why you would bother to even read this board except to find and criticize other peoples mistakes. Who died and made you responsible for grammar on the internet?

  9. Re:OT: Re:Is AMD beaten? on Intel Next-Gen CPU Has Memory Controller and GPU · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I personally dislike having my writings reduced to a number of errors. I am not here for unsolicited English grades and lets face it we all make mistakes occasionally.

    Correcting one (easy to misspell and not confusing in any real way) word out of a post in a flippant way and making no attempt to respond to the content is rude and should be teated as such.

  10. Re:Glad and relieved on Torvalds "Pretty Pleased" With Latest GPLv3 · · Score: 2, Informative

    He is a demigod in the community... If he doesn't like GPLv3 at all, and has a good reason, it is going to be a hard sell.

  11. Re:One of those new computers? on Intel Next-Gen CPU Has Memory Controller and GPU · · Score: 1

    I'd say that making a chip that is hands down better than everything on the consumer market after years of being behind the eight ball (being "beaten" by a smaller competitor using dubious shenanigans no less) is pretty darn original.

  12. Re:how about polarization on Smart Sunglasses · · Score: 1

    Are the two mutually exclusive? I'd love to mess with the "geek squad" for a living.

  13. Re:Is AMD beaten? on Intel Next-Gen CPU Has Memory Controller and GPU · · Score: -1, Troll

    "troll"

  14. Re:Well then it's settled on Musicians Demand the Internet Stay Neutral · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Gandhi was probably not referring to this particularly transparent form of astroturfing.

  15. Re:So, basically... on Intel Next-Gen CPU Has Memory Controller and GPU · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is it really fair to attribute the GPU-CPU combo to AMD/ATi if Intel gets to market first? As far as I know neither of them have produced anything "consumer ready" yet.

  16. Re:Worthless. on Xbox 360 Elite Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    Not that it makes up for the price gap but the black Macbook comes standard with a larger hard drive, which if you upgrade to on a white one adds about $100... so really the black chassis is only a $50 or so upgrade if you think about it, I still think that is an enormous price jump for a change in color.

  17. Re:'Twas always this way on The Sci-Fi Movie Stigma · · Score: 1

    That's funny, he talks about the zeroth law in the book that the movie shares it's name with.

  18. Re:With Bobby, there's no schadenfreude on RIAA Balks At Complying With Document Order · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected.

  19. Re:With Bobby, there's no schadenfreude on RIAA Balks At Complying With Document Order · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but I think the gp is right... it's desserts. Someone "getting there just deserts" doesn't make any sense. Plese sight a source for your correction.

  20. Re:Come work in the AEC industry on Google's Second-Class Citizens · · Score: 1

    I think you don't understand. the parent was talking about full time employees who are exempt form overtime benefits, at a certain level on the pay scale at most organizations the company or institution basically owns the employee's time. Mostly these are critical and senior positions.

  21. Re:Crybabies on Google's Second-Class Citizens · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I always have trouble with that one, thanks.

  22. Re:Crybabies on Google's Second-Class Citizens · · Score: 1

    Exactly... I'm "hourly" (full time and permanent but not "salaried" per say) and I do just fine, I like being compensated when my work invades my personal time.

  23. Re:Bad deal on Why Google Wanted a YouTube Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    That's interesting... Google bought YouTube to pick a fight with content providers and set a precedent favorable to their business model (and by coincidence the consumer.) But Viacom may only be suing for a cynical money grab.

    If the author of the article is right then Viacom just got severely played.

  24. Re:Compartmentalize on New Inkjet Technology 5 To 10 Times Faster · · Score: 1

    It could be that the ink cartridge is incorporated into the "head array"... at least that is how I would do it.

    at the very least ti would have to be user replaceable for this to work.
