  1. Re:No one makes the keyboard I want on The Best Keyboards For Every Occasion · · Score: 1

    I can't stand that keyboard. The key placement made my fingers cry. I actually went out and bought my girlfriend a Logitech Wave Pro, which both of us love.

    Not to be rude here, but what does it matter if it has an "F-lock" key? I understand why you wouldn't use one--- I don't--- but why is it a bother for it to be there?

    Reminds me of people complaining about their cell phones having cameras in them.

  3. Re:Well.. on A Cheat Sheet To All the Browser Betas · · Score: 1
    Sorry that I was unclear. Where I said "that you apparrently didn't know still existed", I was referring to its existance on the PC. I -can- read, however I only read half as well on Tuesdays and Fridays. My writing, however, is equally bad on every day of the week.

    Also, I wouldn't really make judgements based upon the DS/Wii/Smartphone versions of Opera (I've used the Opera-based browser on my phone and the Wii, but I have never seen the DS version).

    Give it a try--- a couple suggestions, though. First, get rid of that god-awful "tools" thing that is next to the tab, and the retarded "status bar" at the bottom.

  4. Re:Well.. on A Cheat Sheet To All the Browser Betas · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I like Firefox, but I disagree with the comment that it is "the only real browser right now". I much prefer Opera (which you apparrently didn't know still existed), and Safari (which you refuse to try) isn't that bad either. I WOULD rank Safari under Firefox, but Opera's download manager, speed-dial, and the fact that it seems a lot less bloated definately meets my needs better than Firefox does (Disclaimer: I have, and regularly use, both).

    It's by no means low cost, but I do have to say that I love NOD32. It's worth the extra money to not have to worry.

    Very well said! And I think you make a good point about his campaign, as well-- he's apparrently good at picking the people around him, which is what is important in a president.

  13. Re:goodhe on Microsoft Goes After "Career Pirates" · · Score: 1

    While I don't agree that Microsoft should provide Windows Vista at the cost of manufacturing, I do think that I should be able to get a copy of XP for $35 or so. Definately not the $139.99 that XP Pro costs (and this is the OEM price at Newegg. The RETAIL version costs $269.99)!

  14. Re:Depends which ones you watch? on Shigeru Miyamoto, The Walt Disney of Our Time · · Score: 1

    Code Geass is pretty good, and I've recommended it to quite a few people who like Death Note. The big problem with it, however, is that there is too much fanservice, and way too many "Haha, I predicted you'd do this!" without any good reason. Light's and L's mind battles were always very solid-- it made sense for each of them to think what they did. Lelouch, however, "predicts" too much stuff that is based on chance. I still watch it, though. Season two is airing at the moment on Japanese television.

  15. Re:Depends which ones you watch? on Shigeru Miyamoto, The Walt Disney of Our Time · · Score: 1
    I have to agree with you on Death Note-- I haven't seen ANY other type of television series where the characters were that smart (and not in the "I'm going to make this coconut into a phone!" way, or the "I haxed his computer! See the 'HARD DRIVE DELETING' progress bar?" way, but the real way).

    Anyone care to recommend any other anime that is genuinely smart?

    I'm wondering if it'll run The Sims 2.... That's the only thing that my girlfriend misses about Windows.

    Regardless, WINE is an amazing project.

    I understand that it's using my ram more effectively, but the fact that my applications respond more slowly on Vista (than XP and, of course, Ubuntu) is still a problem.

    Kind of like the "zoom" in Opera? If so, I may semi-jump ship. It's one of my favourite things about Opera.
