  1. Re:Heres a transcript in case you can't get the mo on How Episode IV Should Have Ended · · Score: 1
    For those non-SW people, Leia didn't know she was being tracked.

    And how would transmitting it through the enemy's communication grid keep the base secret? (the Empire could trace the origin and the endpoint of communication... think email header kinda)

    And it was mostly Chewbaca who made Han turn back, not Han. Think: Always let the Wookie win.

    This isn't a jab at the parent, but a nice manuscript to use.

  2. Obligitory... on Disney World Collecting Fingerprints · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't mind one of those even if it had the DRM in it. 30 freaking inches of space.... wow.....

    Just use AppleScript to get around it. Something along the lines of:

    tell application Quicktime
    fullscreen
    end tell

    Should do it. Or use VLC if you want. The latest version (might still be a beta) works great under Tiger.

  6. Re:OS X Is Next Inline on IBM Officially Kills OS/2 · · Score: 1

    Its people like you that make me think society is doomed.
    Is there an 'asshole' modpoint, or do you just have to say 'Troll' and 'Flamebait'?

  7. Re:migration strategy on IBM Officially Kills OS/2 · · Score: 1

    Is the "12" a typo? I thought it was called OS/2 for a reason...

  8. Re:How much total traffic on Microsoft and Yahoo! Fight Spam - Sort Of · · Score: 1

    Hard to tell-- popups come and go so fast, you can't get an exact weight off of them.

  9. Re:Interesting on Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean · · Score: 1

    Maybe if they would have checked their grammar and spelling they wouldn't loose so quickly.

  10. Weight? on Weighing the Internet · · Score: 1

    My old CRT weighs about 35 lbs. Does that count? Because I switched to a LCD, did the Internet loose weight?

  11. Re:Self Defense? on Reminding Customers Patented by Amazon · · Score: 1
    Okay, Jeff Bezos claims he gets these patents defensively to prevent someone else from getting them and suing Amazon. But the effort he goes to in convincing the patent office they're even valid seems enormous.

    You don't know many lawyers, do you?

    If you need it, buy it. If you can and want to wait, do so.

  13. Until... on Asa Dotzler on Why Linux Isn't Ready for the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Until I can just insert the CD and instal without having to read a manual on how to prepare for install, install, and what to do post-install, it isn't worth it.

  14. Re:Mirror on Keeping a Data Center Cool on the Cheap · · Score: 1

    Is this called, "Slashicide"?

  15. Roadrunner: 8/10 on PC World's ISP Service Rankings, as of June 2005 · · Score: 1
    Very happy with Roadrunner here. 5 Mbps down, but only 400Kbps up. Sucks, but it isn't too bad. Plus we were bumped up for free from (I think) 4 or 3 Mbps down and something else up.

    Downsides? Cost and upload.
    Upsides? Very nice tech people. Often out within a few hours, and very informative. Most recently (last year) the guy replaced all the connections in our office to a higher-quality coax connection. The T.V. looked better, and our internet speeds were better too. Nice guy.

    Haven't had an outage of their doing for a looooong time. But I've been known to send routers to untimely deaths...

  17. Re:Material and practical limitations on `Bionic' Arm Brings Back Sense of Touch · · Score: 1

    Having no feedback in some situations may be a good thing... like if the hand was crushed under debris. So if you could turn off the feedback, it could possibly be a benefit and a detriment.

    Parent is a trolling, idiotic genius.

  19. So, then... on MIT Physicists Create New Form of Matter · · Score: 1

    So, to mark this as "Troll", do you have to understand it, or is just assumed the poster is Trolling?

  22. HALO? on `Bionic' Arm Brings Back Sense of Touch · · Score: 1

    Will this allow for something like the Master Chief? Basically, extremely strong? If you can have the ability to control your 'power' to your arm, does this mean a bank robber could set their arms to 500% and then just rip a safe to pieces? Or what about a person?
