  1. Re:Timezone on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    Not all of us are Americans, and those are meaningless to us. The UTC would be ideal, I'd be happy if they just put the -? however many hours it is. Then at least I can work it out without having to look up time zones, DST status and such, and the majority still don't have to worry about calculating times.

    That would mean that it WAS a coincidence.

  4. Re:Looks good but... on Nokia Unveils "World's Thinnest" QWERTY Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Nokia don't write Symbian, Symbian do. Nokia adds Series x0 on top. Similarly, UIQ is added on top for several Sony Ericsson and Motorola phones.

    Is it possible to rotate the screen? That might work quite well for a lot of websites.


    Obviously not if you need to type anything though.

  7. Re:Downward spiral of hardware prices on Early Look At ASUS Eee PC 901 With Intel Atom CPU · · Score: 1

    a $500 drop in price from say $1500 represents a 33% drop in revenue; a $500 drop in price from $1000, on the other hand, represents a 50% drop in revenue. No it doesn't. The drop in price is going to lead to more sales.

    Precisely! That is why I only ever buy $500 network cables.

  10. Re:Flimsy construction on USB Flash Drive Life Varies Up To 10 Times · · Score: 1

    I don't buy them because I keep getting free drives from various sources. If one breaks, its no big deal, cos I have a handful of others just sitting around anyway.

  11. Re:You Married your Father? on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 1

    A pair of Australians did that recently. Had a kid or two. They supposedly didn't know they were related, but the daughter wasn't young the last time she saw the dad. It all seems a bit suspect to me.

  12. Re:everyone has unique tastes on Real Racing In the Virtual World · · Score: 1

    Is this a unique enough idea to be patented? I don't think its too bad. Certainly a hell of a lot better than a crapload of other stuff that gets patented, but that's not really saying anything.
  13. Re:Sounds pretty pointless on Real Racing In the Virtual World · · Score: -1, Troll

    Everyone knows that racers aren't smart enough to fear death.

  14. Re:In real time? Sounds awfully complicated... on Real Racing In the Virtual World · · Score: 1

    I knew it started at 3AM Melbourne time. If you are into that sort of thing, you know it. Because its not as if its hard to find out. Formula1.com even converts it to your local time for you!

  20. Re:Cost of outage on US Amazon.com Website Down For Over 1 Hour · · Score: 1

    I don't trust this; some people may buy later if there is an outage, no? Most people I imagine. And even assuming they didn't, it doesn't take into account the costs they're not incurring during the outage either.

  24. Re:Is anyone else getting sick of these statements on Tom Clancy: Endwar to Change the Face of Console RTS? · · Score: 1

    Which is why you should read the review, not just look at scores. I'm sure most Final Fantasy games score pretty well on there too, but I find that style of gameplay bores me to tears. A quick look at an actual review will show me that despite the good scores, I'm not gonna like it.

    I haven't seen Superman 3, so could someone explain why someone with superpowers is needed to sort out a crime like this?
