    Ahhh....that bring back memories. :P

  2. Re:Not to be a karma whore... on Tapwave Closes its Doors · · Score: 1

    No, they look similiar, they don't look the same. At a glance, you could easily mistake one for the other, as they're roughly the same shape, and are similarly colored, but once you look closer, it's obvious that other than that, they're nothing alike. The zodiac is slightly curved at the top and bottom, the button layout is completely different, and the PSP has a widescreen (480x272) display, while the zodiac has a 480x320 screen.

    In summary, they look almost nothing alike, and if you think so, you really should get your eyes checked.

    Zodiac
    PSP
    Other than the fact that they're both black, and somewhat similarly shaped, it doesn't really look like the PSP.

    Do people run linux because they love staring at those grey characters on a black screen? No one really likes the command line... plenty of people get by with it, but it's obviously the most primitive computer interface.
    Yes, some people (myself included) actually do like the command line. And as it's one of the most primitive interfaces, it's much faster and more reliable than a GUI, uses less memory, and for many operations is many times faster than a GUI. Until we can control our computers by thought, the CLI is here to stay.

    Yes, because I'm sure they would never be so dishonest as to use a different port!

    Yeah. I especially hate people who do that.

  8. Re:Privacy on Full-Motion Ads Come to Videogames · · Score: 1

    And how do they intend to track this? This is pretty scary.

    It'd probably be implemented as an invisible object that triggers when you get near, and stops when you move away.

    Bah. They're just boosting the version number, so it looks like they're actually making progress. As an added bonus, it appeals to the general public, because stupid people like nice round numbers, without all of that confusing fractions stuff.

    ...you understand every single word of that. I enjoyed that quite a bit, especially the "A++" part.

  12. Re:Those PDF's again... aaargh on Why I Hate the Apache Web Server · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, until they feel like adding a PDF warning, you should get the PDF Download extension for firefox. It's small, simple, and prevents PDF ambushes from raping your system's resources.

  13. A 666KB PDF... on Why I Hate the Apache Web Server · · Score: 5, Funny

    Coincidence? I think not!

  14. Re:google simplicity on Google's Share of Searches Falling? Or Increasing? · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's really complex. First you have to go to google.com, then you have to type in your search, and (gasp!) click the button. Except for a few images, it's completely text based, and it has one of the cleanest, fastest interfaces anywhere.

  15. Who the fuck... on New Batch of XP SP2 Holes · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ...uses the integrated firewall? Seriously, get yourself a real firewall. And unless your life (or job) depends upon it, you shouldn't be using remote desktop, either.

  16. Huh? on The Internet Archive Sued Over Stored Pages · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So, they want to make their webpage freely available to the entire world, but they don't want people to download the pages? Make up your fucking mind, if you're going to put something on the internet, people are going to download it.

    But seriously, it's not worth it. Just buy one, and save yourself from the headaches you'll be having later.

    If you didn't overclock your computer to hell (in more ways than one) you wouldn't need so much cooling.

    I seriously doubt that every single drug company has a cure for cancer and is just holding it back. They may be powerful, but they're not that powerful.
