  1. Re:Try Claws Mail on Thunderbird in Crisis? · · Score: 1

    Been using claws-mail for about a year now (since it was sylpheed-claws) and I have to say my experience with it has been excellent. The windows port was still a bit buggy last time i used it, but the linux client is absolute win.

  2. PDF? on Think Tank Report On the State of Open Source · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Interesting choice of file format.

  3. Horse Armor optional? on Gran Tourismo HD Cars Sold Seperately? · · Score: 1

    I go everywhere on foot. I would say horses are optional.

  4. Re:Gamers will move. on Windows Vista RC1 Complete · · Score: 1

    Game developers likely won't require DX10/Vista for some time. Most gamers will probably hang on to XP until some killer game makes them upgrade.

  5. Re:Can't use them outside on The Light Bulb That Can Change the World · · Score: 1

    I tried using them on my back porch where I leave the light on all the time. It's protected from the weather, but not bugs. Small flying insects kept getting down inside them and shorting them out. I went through 2 bulbs in a month. I suppose a good light cover would have solved my problem, but replacing them with incandescent was an easier option.

  6. Re:Isn't each part of the embryo a separate person on New Hope for Stem Cell Research · · Score: 1

    No, it's more like pulling the tail off a lizard. The embryo will correct itself by growing back the missing cells.

  7. No Thanks. on Real to Offer Open Source Windows Media for Linux · · Score: 1

    Seriously. Real Player has sucked hard for at least 10 years.

  8. Re:Same Thing... Different Day on The Videogame Industry is Broken · · Score: 1

    Definitely the customers.

  9. Shop there?! on Best Buy 'Geek Squad' Accused of Pirating Software · · Score: 1

    I cannot bring myself to shop there, having once been told "the older RAM gets the mo' price" by a geek squad member when I balked at the cost of their PC-133 RAM!

  10. Maybe... on HD DVD to Screw Early HDTV Adopters · · Score: 1

    ...but the comments here are light years ahead of digg.

  11. Re:Cool on Microsoft Officially Announces Anti-Virus Product · · Score: 1

    True, but this business model has been around for a long time.

  12. Re:Story, not cinematics on Cinematics Do Matter? · · Score: 1

    I absolutely agree, but I would like to add that there are games where I would really rather not know the story. If I were playing some ATV offroad game or Extreeeeme Deer Huntin' I could really give a care about the saga of Billy Ray Dirtbag or whatever character that I'm supposed to be playing. Not that I play deer huntin' or anything...

  13. Re:Interesting Discovery on Human Based Stem Cell Culture Medium Developed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't believe that it will totally remove any arguments about stem cell research. We don't currently need human "tissues", just human "cells".

  14. Re:X10 ad museum on How Text Ads Tamed Ads on the Wild, Wild Web · · Score: 5, Funny

    That reminds me of a fake SA page from a few years ago!

  15. Re:Meat factories on Scientists Grow Blood Vessels Using Skin Cells · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm a vegetarian, but I would more likely go back to real meat before eating this stuff.

  16. Can't boycott for fear of being sued by the RIAA! on New Bill Threatens to Plug "Analog Hole" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Boycott seems like a goood idea. However, I'd be willing to bet that if there was a mass boycott and these guys started to see a decline in sales/profits, they would promptly point their collective finger at the consumer and claim that it's due to piracy.

  17. Re:Good, I'm gettin' mah gun on PCs Posted No Trespass · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...it's funny but also true. If people would ARM themselves with knowledge and caution, there would less trespassing to begin with.

  18. Re:This is just laughable on EC Watching Microsoft Security Moves · · Score: 1

    Windows is sercure. It's even more secure than I thought! I just read in the Pakistan Daily Times.
