  1. Re:And printers too on Scanjet Music · · Score: 1

    If I remember right, dot matrix printers are heavier than present-day printers.

  2. Re:Great Scott! on Why Microsoft Hates Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    I personally pronounce it "jee eye eff," but there are a lot of acronyms I don't pronounce, but spell out instead.

  3. Re:Bad design on Intelligent Coasters Keep Beer Mugs Full · · Score: 1

    well, my friend, if you can invent it, you can have the patent.

  4. Re:And people wonder why you should be against on FEC Deciding Future of Political Blogs · · Score: 1

    shoot! quite devious indeed.

  5. Re:Funny, I was thinking something similar... on Playing CDs a Privilege Not A Right · · Score: 1

    yeah, it'll be hick.

  6. Re:And people wonder why you should be against on FEC Deciding Future of Political Blogs · · Score: 1

    I really don't have a clue about all the intertwining business relationships and what not, but are you telling me that there is no conflict-of-interest law that high officials are held to? Aren't even lowly jurors made to swear they have not had any experience with the defendant, nor had any previous knowledge? I realise my knowledge on government workings is fuzzy like leaky goggles after coming out of a swimming pool on a warm day. -- Sid

  7. Re:Is this for real? on Preference Engines Side-Effects in Online Retail · · Score: 1

    I personally enjoy the idea of leading a radically different life that is isolated from the majority of the population online.

  8. Re:Are you guys on crack? on What's On Your Hotel Keycard · · Score: 1

    It must be the hotels, the souveneir shops, the rides, and the gigantic food courts that bring in the dough.

  9. Re:I doubt that was their intention on New Legal Threat To GMail · · Score: 1

    I quickly skimmed over the article, but I got the idea that the G may have meant 'Group', as it seemed that it was a way for a group of people to share financial news and information among the group. Hence Groupmail, or simply, G-Mail.

  10. Re:just wait.. this'll be buried by big pharma.. on Crocodile's Immune System Kills HIV · · Score: 1

    *whips off your mask to reveal....* *gasp!* KEVIN TRUDEAU! I should have known!

  11. Re:I don't think it was publicity, but... on ESRB Revokes San Andreas Rating · · Score: 1

    But of course, then you have it back to a couple flags that are [relatively] easy to change.

    I personally like the cut and uncut idea better, as the offending code would not be a part of the cut game at all; therefore, it could not be unlocked.

  12. Re:"overbloated"? on KDE's future: Plasma & SimpleKDE · · Score: 1

    As opposed to double-super-bloated.

  13. Shades of Grey: #EEEEEE, #DDDDDD, [...] on Our Brains Don't Work Like Computers · · Score: 1
    we're not learning through a series of 0's and 1's. Instead, our brain is cascading through shades of grey.

    Ah yes, but every shade of grey can be represented by a series of 0's and 1's.

    When you think about it, you can't really say we aren't binarily-based; computers as we know them today may correspond to some sub-atomic structure, to follow the analogy.

  14. Re:Use the Force, Luke? on New Independent Lego Journal Launches · · Score: 1

    Make sure it's Coke and not Pepsi.

  19. Re:Power by wifi.. on New Computer Powered By PoE · · Score: 1
    I think you missed the one about only older people in Korea ...

    But is it Sweex-specific?
  20. Re:On Request. on Utah Governor Signs Net-Porn Bill · · Score: 1

    OMG is it just one person making these decisions?

    I don't believe it is.

    Consider yourself as a very busy state Attorney General. Are you going to go through the whole internet and list sites that are objectionable? Do you have the time required for such a gargantuan task?

  21. Re:Was RotJ PG? on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 1

    From what I remember, Leia was born and transported to Alderaan without her father's knowledge. She was adopted into the royal family as a princess. Anakin had no ties to Alderaan as far as I know. I don't think he was ever king or emperor or of equal importance to such. So to answer your questions directly: - Leia is an adopted princess of Alderaan. - Anakin is not king. (Perhaps by marrying Queen Amidala he is made King of Naboo, but that's about it, I think.) -- Sid (URLs added after text of post and text not updated to match info in the urls)
