    You must be single. :)

  2. Re:Le sigh. on Dvorak Rants on CSS · · Score: 1

    Hey, lot's of people follow him so don't knock it till you've tried it. BTW, when CSS was being developed MS did have most of the market.

  3. Re:Le sigh. on Dvorak Rants on CSS · · Score: 1

    But when you have 90% market share, aren't you the standard?

  4. Re:Ramping Up on Playstation 3 Soon Into Production · · Score: 1

    If they truly plan to have downloadable content, 60GB will be essential. Plus WiFi is nice so you don't have to run an unsightly network cable to your TV. I don't care about HDMI, but the larger HD and WiFi is more important than you think.

  5. Re:Ramping Up on Playstation 3 Soon Into Production · · Score: 1

    The non-castrated PS3 is $599. I imagine 4 controllers will be $100, plus a few games and you are getting awfully close to $1000. Throw in tax and bundling fees, and you're there.

  6. Re:Oh Boo Hoo on Microsoft Acquires Winternals and Sysinternals · · Score: 1

    Do you really think everyone who works at microsoft is unethical and suffer in a bureaucracy? You really shouldn't make genralizations.

  7. Re:I Don't Think So... on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually right now it's something like 0%. The congress is debating extending this too.

    That's not saying much. :)

  9. Re:Welcome to the party.. on Opera 9.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Alas, initial doesn't mean it works. :(

  10. Re:Well at least he didn't say... on Torvalds Says 'Use KDE' · · Score: 1

    Just because you have 64bit hardware doesn't mean you have to take advantage of it. That miniscule improvment in performance for the average user isn't worth it. I agree XP x64 should never have been released, but it's to make sure Vista x64 has high quality 64 bit support.

  11. Re:Brings to mind my question... on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    Or setup the VCR to record or buy a TiVo or find a new family. There are plenty of options that work.

  12. Re:that sucks on Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Finalized · · Score: 1

    He was talking about buying the XBOX. Right now you can get a brand new one for $149. I think it debuted at $299 so I should have said save $150. :)
    I guess if you're a tightwad or are poor I can see $150 making a small difference in your life.

  13. Re:that sucks on Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Finalized · · Score: 1

    You're that cheap that you'll wait years to save $100?

  14. Re:TiVo needs this, bad... on Yahoo! Plans to Connect Services With Tivo · · Score: 1

    Boy is this true. Same for the 30 second skip button, that's right next to TV input .

  15. Re:MCE for me, unfortunately on Software PVRs Becoming Tivo Killers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That last statement you made is key. Support is a huge reason why an "appliance" makes more sense.

  16. Re:MCE for me, unfortunately on Software PVRs Becoming Tivo Killers · · Score: 1

    Or you could go the MCE route and buy an Xbox to use as an extender for $99.

  17. Re:Firefox Team: Fix the Firefox Killer CPU use bu on Firefox Momentum Slows · · Score: 1

    I agree they don't seem to fix the showstopper bugs. I've had a tab switching bug since day one of using firefox. When I switch tabs after opening a new tab, firefox hangs. Mozilla does not, which is why I'm using mozilla now.

  18. Re:True if all you play is GBA games on GBA SP Updated with Brighter Backlit Screen · · Score: 1

    That is correct, it only plays GBA games.

  19. Re:what's the point? on SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha released · · Score: 1

    The biggest is the tabbed browser extentions. Without it you don't get full featured tab functionality, plus you don't get the new tab button in a logical place.

  20. Re:performance difference on Performance of 64-bit vs. 32-bit Windows Dual Core · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only if you saw them swap machines. That and all the extra noise generated to cool off the extra CPU.

  21. Re:NEWS FLASH.... on An Open Source Guide For The Average PC User · · Score: 1

    It is "could not care less" not "could care less" since that implies you actually can care less. :)

  22. Re:Wanted! on AMD and Intel Notebooks Head to Head · · Score: 1

    You're pretty much describing the 9300.

    You really should consider the pretty glossy finish for the LCD. It makes everything look better.

  23. Re:Same here on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    At least you bother to get a sitter. Most people take their young kids to the movie, much to the chagrin of those around them.

  24. Re:No Annoying Kids on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    I have a friend who has done just that. Occasionaly it works, but most of the time the people believe they have a right to talk because they paid money to be there. Complaining to the theatre management doesn't work either, they just ignore you.

  25. Re:No Annoying Kids on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    I can't believe the nerve people have bringing children to movies. I can't recall a recent movie going experience that wasn't disturbed by horrible parents who bring their young children to movies.
