  1. Re:I cant wait for the video release on Giant Squid Caught on Film · · Score: 1

    Is the missing "h" in "usher" a deliberate and subtle hint that there aren't enough tentacle hentai? ;)

  2. Re:no longer compelling? on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: 1

    but I like my Outlook and Entourage folders

    You do know that you can apply labels, achieve mails, and call pretend the labels were folders, right?

    I personally find the label functions much more efficient than folders, for instance, now I can put all those drunk photos my cousins sent me into the "Family" "Album" and "Black Mail Material" 'folders' at the same time without wasting space by making multiple copies on the email and to put into different folders ;)

  3. Re:"The Chinese Google" on Baidu Sued for Piracy on Eve of IPO · · Score: 1

    Speaking from experience, Baidu's by far the best search engine for personal sites & blogs in China.

    For instance if I want to search for a catch phrase that has became popular recently (think Chinese version of "imagine a beowulf cluster of..." ) I'd have much better chance of finding something relevant with Baidu than with Google or godforbid MSN search.

    Baidu sucks for foreign site search / non Chinese phrase search tho.

    And no, they don't host files, so I don't have a clue as to how a search engine can get sued for movie piracy.

  4. oh... THAT CS! on Gates On Future of CS Education · · Score: 1

    For a moment, I was wondering why is Gates worried about educating noobs on Counter Strike...

  5. Re:firecow on Firefox Gains on IE Again in June · · Score: 1

    Acutally, in "People's Republic of China, home of the Chinese Communist party", they call it "Putonghua" instead of mandarin.

    And by the way, as far as I know, (I'm from HK so I might be wrong) only Cantoneses call transformers firecow. In Mandarin/Putonghua they're just called "thingie that changes pressure"

  6. Re:Bit of a waste, surely? on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 1

    you'd better believe it if you ever install XP from an old (pre SP2) CD. A while ago I went to a friend's home to help her format her HD and reinstall XP. No router insight, and I was lazy and allowed XP to obtain update from the net immediately after installation instead of installing a virus scanner first. I walked away from the computer for about 10 minutes, and Voila! Encounter of the 2nd kind with the Blaster worm.

  7. nice, but what's the point? on Google to Release Firefox Toolbar · · Score: 1

    Most of the more attractive functions (search box, pop up blocking, word find) are already included in Firefox, and there are extensions avaliable for everything else. Why get a toolbar that would take up 20 some pixel (height) of my screen space?

  8. SHIT I JUST BROKE MY NAIL!!! on Secure Data Storage... On Your Fingernails · · Score: 1

    Whe knew the day would come when girls no longer hold monopoly for moaning about broken nails...
