  1. Re:re-development cost on Microsoft Prefers Flash To Silverlight · · Score: 1

    Why wouldn't it run on the Ubuntu computers?

  2. Re:Aqua on OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The handbrake project.

  3. Re:Long Answer? on How Microsoft Dropped the Ball With Developers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have my taskbar at the top, because it effectively reverses the order of the start menu. This makes shutdown the bottom option, which is where it should be, as i use it precisely once per session.

  4. Re:Let's cancel the olympics on EV71 Outbreak In China Sparks Fears For Olympics · · Score: 1

    Godwin's law only applies when nazis aren't related. Since Hitler did in fact invent the torch running, h doesn't invoke the law.

  5. Re:Do your reactions slow in the game? on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    Absolutely, the camera blurs, your handling worsens. In fact a box pops up suggesting you phone a cab instead of drunk driving.

    It's called a catheter.

  8. Re:WINE on Microsoft Discloses 14,000 Pages of Coding Secrets · · Score: 4, Funny

    Your UID suggests you signed up within the last day or so. You don't get to make those jokes yet.

  9. Re:Has NetCraft confirmed on Vista is Slower, But XP Is Still Dying · · Score: 1

    It really did just come to me now :)

    I was playing a lot of Eternal Darkness on gamecube though ;)

  10. Re:Has NetCraft confirmed on Vista is Slower, But XP Is Still Dying · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, XP is a zombie.

    Lovecraft confirms it.

  11. Re:Adobe Flash on PPC Linux? on Adobe Photoshop CS4 Will Be 64-Bit For Windows Only · · Score: 1

    The one who needs a clue is you.

    They are still supporting cs4 on OS X, they are just taking longer to convert to cocoa from carbon, carbon can't do 64 bit so until cs5, no 64bit on os x. That has absolutely nothing to do with flash player.

    Though I do think there is no chance of a PPC linux flash player.

  12. Re:And that means on Apple Is Now the #1 US Music Retailer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The only reason apple don't offer all their music without DRM is because the record companies won't let them. They are allowing amazon to have DRM free music in order to try and reduce apple's marketshare and thus reduce apple's chips at the negotiation table with the record companies.

  13. Re:Social games on Will Twitter Join Podcasting on the 'Net Sidelines'? · · Score: 1

    I wish I had points to mod you up, your post is pretty much what I say whenever anyone moans about social networking.

  14. Re:What's with the Fisher-Price trend? on A Screenshot Review of KDE 4 · · Score: 1

    Have you considered a macintosh?

    The accesibility options include a negative option, you can hit ctrl+alt+cmd+8 to activate it at any time.

  15. FM radio? TV? on City-Provided Wi-Fi Rejected Over "Health Concerns" · · Score: 1

    Well hey, lets just get rid of microwave ovens, radio stations, television signals and police radios.

    In fact this technology seems so dangerous I think we should just go back to living in caves.

  16. Re:Okay... on The Night the IETF Shut Off IPv4 · · Score: 1

    PRAISE BOB my fellow subgenius!

  17. Re:So, on Carmack Speaks On Ray Tracing, Future id Engines · · Score: 2, Informative

    Interestingly, at least with American McGee, he gave an interview with GFW podcast, where he said that it was the publisher who wanted to put his name on the box, to create brand recognition, not the other way around.

  18. Re:Don't forget the iPhone on Mozilla Hitting 'Brick Walls' Getting Firefox on Phones · · Score: 1

    Thank you so much for that.

  19. Re:ActiveX is not the problem per se on Criminals Attacking Myspace, Facebook IE Plugins · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Man, I wish my iPod was half that tough. :( on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 1
    Either your local Apple store are lying, or you are.

    http://www.apple.com/support/products/applecareipod.html

    Every iPod comes with complimentary single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days from the date of purchase and one year of hardware service coverage.

    Bullshit, iPods have a 12 month warranty.

  22. Re:iTunes shouldn't be involved. on Apple Can't Afford iPhone's Carrier Exclusivity · · Score: 1

    Last time you checked you were wrong.

    Steam games either download from Valve or from a private server, eg. Nvidia providing a content server, but the only advertisement they get is a banner about 2/3 the size of the top of the page slashdot banner.

  23. Re:Why download bootleg movies? on What the MPAA Still Isn't Telling Us · · Score: 1

    Sorry to butt in, but there are a few devices, such as nvidia graphics cards which have HDCP over DVI. I'm not sure of the technicalities such as whether you need vista, or other things. So, whilst i'm saying that DVI output from a HD disc player is very probably not there, under certain circumstances you can get HDCP DVI output.

  24. Re:She's a MUTIE!!! on Teen Takes On Donor's Immune System · · Score: 2, Funny

    That must be why they ban mobile phones in hospitals :)

  25. Re:Life+70 is just obscene on ISP Filters & Copyright Extension Defeated In EU · · Score: 1

    Well they made a mac version of CnC 3, so yeah I did.
