  1. Not so sure about how useful this is going to be. on Ultra Wideband Hub Coming in October · · Score: 3, Insightful

    10m, with no obstacles? What would the use for this be?

  2. Happy Birthday GIMP on GIMP's 10th Anniversary Splash Contest · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Happy Birthday GIMP! Huzzah!

  3. Damn, Gun Jumping on Slashback: KDE, Tsunami Hacker, and Image Bugs · · Score: 1

    "Finally, one less thing to worry about, as gUnit writes "eWeek is reporting that virus researchers at Trend Micro jumped the gun with a warning that a Trojan in the wild was capable of exploiting newly patched Windows security flaws. Just 24 hours after announcing the discovery of a proof-of-concept Trojan that supposedly exploits a trio of image-rendering vulnerabilities patched by Microsoft, Trend Micro is retreating from that claim and offering up a batch of excuses." Its the new way to get microsoft to patch security holes :) But good to know this isnt as important as it sounded, as our SUS at work isn't working anyways haha.

  4. Re:Not only Vista... on Ignore Vista Until 2008 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they will go away, right after the majority of businesses, and individuals stop buying all their software like it was candy. Microsoft is onto something, they make software that is easy to use and everyone knows how to use it, for the average joe user, their software is awesome....how many average joe users does the world have, a lot. So no they *wont* go away. I've been trying to ignore them until they go away as well, but I have lost faith. :)

  5. Vista on Ignore Vista Until 2008 · · Score: 1

    But by then it will be Windows 2008, and it will still be a glorified Windows XP!

  6. Re:Mixed Feelings on The Reality of Patent Expirations for the NES · · Score: 1

    Mario Brothers Do Dallas! Opening Scene "Did someone call a plumber?" (Porno music background) It would be an excellent venture, for adults only. But no on the real side, why repackage an NES, with cool do hickey add-ons, when you can get the nintendo revolution, which hopefully will play the old games.

  7. Re:Survey Says... on Survey Says Internet Users Confuse Search Results, Ads · · Score: 1

    Dont forget 86% of stats are made up on the spot.

  8. Spyware! on Survey Says Internet Users Confuse Search Results, Ads · · Score: 1

    And the growing amount of users with spyware, odd, I wonder why people complain about spyware so much?

    Geeze could it be because they actually dont know the difference?

  9. Why media player? on Microsoft Won't Appeal EU Ruling · · Score: 2, Funny

    So they couldnt get internet explorer, they targeted media player. Microsoft sure has been playing it smart, I want a stripped down version without WMP!

  10. Good Fun! on Ars Technica Reviews AmigaOS 4.0 · · Score: 1
    Steve Jobs was reported to be extremely worried about the Amiga, but fortunately for him and Apple, Commodore had absolutely no idea what they were doing.

    Interesting now I wonder if Steve Jobs is going to remember this statement, I want to try one of these, I think it should be good fun!\ Let hope its put together well :)

  11. Re:Isnt..... on New Netscape Browser Prototype Available · · Score: 1

    cool deal. Thanks :)

  12. Isnt..... on New Netscape Browser Prototype Available · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Isnt Netscape and Mozilla the same company?

  13. Quick Question Actually. on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 5, Interesting

    All the cable companies seem to be increasing the bandwidth of their cable service. The cable company in my city recently upped to 5mb down, 1mb up. How are they making their bandwidth so much higher without changing the cables? Is it all about voltage, or has coax been able to handle this all along, that they have just been throttling back?

  14. Re:Interesting Idea on PC Magazine's In-Depth VoIP Review · · Score: 1

    That is quite worrying actually. You would hope that somehow this would be either fixed or worked around, because yeah that would really suck if you needed to phone 911 and couldnt because you needed to reboot your STB

  15. Re:Interesting Idea on PC Magazine's In-Depth VoIP Review · · Score: 0

    I was thinking of signing up for Vonage, they do offer service in Canada...but I just wanted my TV, Internet and Phone services on one bill hehe, but looking more at Vonage, it looks quite good as well.

  16. Interesting Idea on PC Magazine's In-Depth VoIP Review · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What will happen to the phone companies that offer dsl and phone service when the cable etc.. companies start offering VOIP. I myself know that when my cable ISP starts offering voip im dropping my phone service from the local provider. Anyone Else?

  17. This looks good. on New Battlestar Galactica Series Starts Tonight · · Score: 0

    Im hoping this is as good if not better than the original. The original was awesome, but the effects just were not there, now however we have the technology for it. I can't wait!

  18. MOD PARENT INSIGHTFUL on Spam and Spyware Too Much for Some Users · · Score: 0

    I wonder if Bill Gates fixed his spyware problems by installing Firefox and Thunderbird :)

  19. Re:Firefox and Thunderbird. on Spam and Spyware Too Much for Some Users · · Score: 0

    Exactly! My friends computers were running IE and Adaware, she was getting frustrated with all the pop-ups and spyware. I actually installed the Microsoft Anti-Spyware on the computer as well as firefox and thunderbird. She is now loving the internet again :)

  20. Re:Congrats to the ESA on Huygens Probe Lands on Titan · · Score: 0
    The results should be very interesting.

    Titan's atmosphere, a murky mix of nitrogen, methane and argon, resembles Earth's more than 3.8 billion years ago. Scientists think the moon may shed light on how life began.

    This will be very interesting to see, I wonder how long it will be observing for, and if supposing they believe in the evolution theory...can watch life form.

  21. Re:Good way.... on IGDA Persistent Worlds White Paper Released · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Yes, as a matter of fact I did.

    This will give people who wish to develop MMORPG, MUD...etc. but are just starting out the ability to see what has been succesful in the past. How much to charge per month, where they can release the games and be succesful.

    If you want to develop an MMORPG, which im sure a lot of people do because they sure seem like cash cows. :) This is a very good starting point.

    I think this is a good idea because im sure the MMORPG world is going to get even bigger and better.

  22. Good way.... on IGDA Persistent Worlds White Paper Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Sounds like a good idea.

  23. Quite an increase. on Five Years of Ballmer -- the Effect on Microsoft · · Score: 1

    You still have to give it to Ballmer, that is quite a huge increase.
