  1. Re:The Pirate Bay on Windows Vista & IE7 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So the mechanic is charging 26970 dollars an hour because of his knowledge of cars? Just because you can make an analogy to a car mechanic doesn't mean that analogy makes any sense. And I doubt such a mechanic would ever get a repeat customer.

  2. Re:Serious? Oh, it's very serious. on HP Fires Father of OOP · · Score: 1

    correct

  3. Re:Some minor prize in CS? WTF? on HP Fires Father of OOP · · Score: 1

    This was the first time I'd ever heard of the Turing Award, and it was blatantly obvious that the poster was being sarcastic.

  4. Re:Serious? Oh, it's very serious. on HP Fires Father of OOP · · Score: 1

    actually,

    Pride is the fuhrer
    Sloth is his secretary
    Lust manipulates people from behind the scenes
    Gluttony follows Lust around
    Greed was killed in the process of trying to become immortal
    Envy works with Lust manipulating people from behind the scenes
    Wrath fights

    (can you guess what I'm referring to)

  5. Re:Missing some points... on HP Fires Father of OOP · · Score: 1

    what is the difference between

    "What's good for General Motors is good for the country"

    and

    "What's good for corporate interests is good for the country"

  6. Re:China would get a vote on U.N. To Govern Internet? · · Score: 1

    "a lot of the world doesn't want our freedoms"

    should probably read

    "a lot of the world's governments don't want their citizens to have our freedoms"

    Makes a lot more sense that way.

  7. Re:interesting on Biases in Simulation Video Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And how many years after Christ's death did this start occurring? (hint: long enough for His teachings to be perverted)

  8. Re:GPS games on Tron Lightcycles, in Real Life · · Score: 1

    correction: Snake = Nibbles clone (it did come out first) Scorched Earth = Gorilla clone (I'm pretty sure it came out first)

  9. Re:heartless bastards on Keystroke Logging Declared Illegal in Alberta · · Score: 1

    why not view source, and then copy.

  10. Re:I run Linux on Non-Technical Users Talk Malware · · Score: 1

    And it is because of comments like this on slashdot that I decided to set up and run my Windows computer with user access by default. (Adaware and such only find an occasional cookie.)

    Biggest issues: Unreal Tournament 2004 can't save your info for single player unless you are in admin mode, and pretty much any other game that saves progress. And you can't download patches for MMORPGs without running them in admin mode. (At least they have a run as option so I can just run those few things as admin)

  11. Re:PS: I should actually make a point. on New Xbox 360 Dev Kits Shipped Out · · Score: 1

    Maybe there are times when the 90% is done and it has to wait on that 10% to finish before moving on to the next thing.

  12. Re:What about fansubs killing the industy? on The Business of Anime · · Score: 1

    How about we wait until the show is actually released in the US. I've got fan subbed full metal alchemist, and I'm buying the DVDs as they come out. (I will do the same with Tsusbasa Chonicles, Bleach, and Naruto if they don't screw up the translations completely.)

  13. Re:Interesting on AMD Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Intel · · Score: 1

    because that is the least reliable filter there is.

  14. Re:one small mistake: on Keeping a Data Center Cool on the Cheap · · Score: 1

    technically it is acceptable to measure something in kilokelvins (kK), but I don't think it has ever been done.

  15. Re:Exploit? on Swapless PSP Exploit Released · · Score: 1

    But those "exploiting" the PSP are the owners of the system. That is just a bit different from giving yourself full privileges on someone else's system.

  16. Re:Beta? on Google CEO Confirms Online Payment System · · Score: 1

    That's why I plan on making a fortune marketing pogs in a few years.

  17. Re:Thanks on Matrix Online Sold To SOE? · · Score: 1

    Nah, that was just Murpheus trying to trick a bunch of zionists into getting themselves killed.

  18. Re:Only going to work if it became standard on Advocating Dvorak · · Score: 1

    I thought the assumption was that the great great grandparent was using an exponent of 1.

  19. Re:Put Linux On It on PC Prices Reach $300 Milestone · · Score: 1

    In most cases, Windows XP moves the file when you drag and drop unless you right click drag and drop and choose the copy here option. (unless the source is a cd/dvd or another computer on the network)

  20. Re:Nice read and all, but... on Keyboards are Good; Mouses are Dumb · · Score: 1

    "Maybe what we need is larger mouse pointers and better active areas on GUI objects..."

    You can actually do this in windows for most aspects of the GUI.

  21. Re:Its all about availability. on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Good to know.

  22. Re:Its all about availability. on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Where do you get a 400 dollar bill?

  23. Re:Just needed to say this... on More Twilight Princess Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    What plot twist are you referring to? I've played the game all the way through and thought the story was pretty straight forward.

  24. Re:Confusion on Basics of Modern Intel CPUs · · Score: 1

    I don't know, there might be a six pack hidden under that beer gut.

  25. Re:Oh, you're full of it. on Too Much Homework Can Be Counterproductive · · Score: 1

    The ones that are nerds.
