  1. Re:Isn't There an Iron Maiden Song For This? on Windows 7 To Be Called ... Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    That works if you ignore the first two versions

  2. Re:Blazing 2 MHz Memory! on Overclocked Memory Breaks Core i7 CPUs · · Score: 1

    This is what happens when people think decimals and commas are interchangeable

  3. Re:Doublethink on Adobe Flaw Allows Full Movie Downloads For Free · · Score: 1

    Yep. In a related issue, I wish (most) online games would stop trusting the client so much.

  4. Reminds me of Microsoft on Stanford Teaching MBAs How To Fight Open Source · · Score: 4, Insightful

    to bring its product to market first, to judiciously improve its product features, to keep its product "closed" so the open source product cannot tap into the network already built by the commercial product

    Reminds me of Microsoft's strategy. Except for the "judicious improvement," and it doesn't seem like it will work for them in the long term anyway.

  5. Re:Not exactly true on IPv6 and the Business-Case Skeptics · · Score: 3, Funny

    What about putting NAT behind NAT?

  6. Re:For once ... on Twilight of the GPU — an Interview With Tim Sweeney · · Score: 1

    That would be great. Funny to see "software renderers" making a comeback in the future.

  7. Re:QC? on Users Report Faulty WPA In 2nd-Gen IPod Touch · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And some people don't have any problems with Vista

  8. Re:Dixie cup on Extreme Toothbrushing · · Score: 1

    It's extremely wasteful

  9. Re:Wouldn't fixing some drivers give better PR? on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1

    I know this is off-topic but I really liked Bee Movie. Maybe I was the only one but it was pretty funny. It actually

    NO CARRIER ....?

  10. A lot of money on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1

    Maybe Microsoft could have used their money to pour extra resources into the development of their next operating system. Like, put some effort into researching why most users seem to loathe Vista instead of pretending that everything is FANTASTIC.

  11. Re:Previously Unknown Species on New Insect Species Purchased On EBay · · Score: 1

    That doesn't count. It says "perpetual motion" in the title.. Then "near perpetual motion" in the description.. Then it describes it as a toy. Aren't there any nuts trying to sell "real" perpetual motion machines?

  12. Re:Americans don't do that. Third world people do. on Getting Human Hands Back Into Digital Design · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah but all of that crap is really boring in my opinion. I'd rather do something that is enjoyable that be drained by taking the path that leads to "easy money."

  13. Re:Details... on Vista's Security Rendered Completely Useless · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So people have the freedom to make their own choices as long as those choices are the correct ones..... what??

  14. Robot Sub Competition on University of Maryland Team Wins Robot Sub Competition · · Score: 4, Funny

    If this was the robot sub competition then what was the main robot competition?

  15. Re:Usability is a matter of opinion on How To Fix the Poor Usability of Free Software · · Score: 1, Funny

    (1) "Usability" is in the mind of the user. If you learned how to use some other system first and now expect that any other way of doing things isn't "usable" enough, that's just plain old resistance to change. It says more about you than it does about the usability of the software in question.

    I will call this the "submarine Blender defense"

  16. Re:I don't understand on Apple Clients Still Vulnerable After DNS Patch · · Score: 1

    TCP isn't magic. You can run TCP over UDP if you really wanted to. If someone is trying to spoof UDP DNS responses to your system, they probably also have the resources to inject fake responses into a TCP stream.

  17. Re:or perhaps on In-flight Cell Ban Advances In Congress · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because thinking of a backronym is the most important part of making a law

  18. Re:Tried it on New Search Engine Cuil Takes Aim At Google · · Score: 1

    Wow that was the most cluttered and disorganized page ever (looks like myspace has some competition.) I would have liked it more if they had decided to put everything in ONE column.

  19. Re:Not that much to complain about on Linux Needs More Haters · · Score: -1, Troll

    If I was you, I would have taken some time to go through the source and find the cause of the problem. That's a nice feature that Windows or closed source applications don't have available when they explode.

  20. Re:Well? on To Stet Or Not To Stet, That Is the Question · · Score: 1

    It's still funny, but I assumed that the person writing the babby question was much older than 7 the first time I saw it.

  21. Re:Who needs an os? on Fast-Booting OS for Usually-Off Appliance PCs? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Embed PERL in firmware! :-)

    I think you misspelled EMACS

  22. Re:Well there goes the history of decent quality.. on Final Fantasy XIII Is Coming To Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    FFVIII ran just fine on my not so very powerful computer when it was first released. As for FFXI, which I played for a little while, the performance is just absolutely pitiful on ALL platforms it was released on. On most reasonable systems, the game runs like a slide show when there are more than a few objects in view at the same time.

  23. Re:Because they are cheap on Why Do We Have To Restart Routers? · · Score: 1

    I made a router (old computer) for a home that has two wireless linksys APs. The APs usually need reboots every time something weird happens with the power but the router never had any problems.

  24. Re:Market leader? on Most CF Cards Fail DMA Transfers · · Score: 1

    The same people who also buy 1kW power supplies

  25. Re:I guess this means he falls under the messy typ on Hans Reiser Leads Police To Nina's Body · · Score: 1

    Yay! An intelligent human!
