  1. They'll be disappointed... on AOL Digs Up Yard for Spam Gold · · Score: 1

    ...when all they find is a bunch of Gold and Platinum AOL CDs...

  2. Re:One ad of three on PSP Ad Draws Charges of Racism · · Score: 1

    From Family Guy:

    Peter: "It doesn't matter if you're black or white. The only color that really matters is green."

  3. CD-Rom not working... on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 1

    There was a lady who brought her computer to the shop, and said her cd-rom drive wasn't working. I powered on the system, opened the drive, and found a CD inside. Indeed, the drive didn't work right when I checked it. So I shutdown the system, removed the drive, and it rattled. After taking it apart I found pieces of an HP drivers cd. After I took all the pieces out, the drive worked fine.

    The interesting part is, not only did a CD explode in the drive, but the customer put in another CD...

    When I told her what had happened she said something like: "Yeah I figured that's what happened."

  4. Re:How Many? on Interview with IE Lead Program Manager · · Score: 1

    Ah, I see.

  5. Taylor even worked directly with CEO Steve Ballmer on Another Microsoft Exec Steps Down · · Score: 1

    That explains it all...

  6. Re:How Many? on Interview with IE Lead Program Manager · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you are talking about a fluorescent light (or some variation), and not a typical light bulb as seen a lot of times in a house, or in desk lamps.

  7. Re:How Many? on Interview with IE Lead Program Manager · · Score: 1

    As many as it takes to screw in a light bulb.

  8. Re:Better sell hard to find stuff. on Amazon to Launch Online Grocery Store · · Score: 1

    Tastykake rocks. Those Peanut Butter ones I liked the best. Haven't found them around here though.

  9. Re:you read the article more closely! on A New Technique to Quickly Erase Hard Drives · · Score: 1
    Think of a flying datacenter with rackmount systems from a variety of different vendors.
    And holds the DNA information for thousands of people... only to be destroyed by a Monican.
  10. Re:Basic Question No One Has Asked on Microsoft Unveils 'Vista Premium' Requirements · · Score: 1

    I'm running it on a 1.2GHz Athlon, 512MB RAM, and a GeForce 4 MX. It seems to run ok, but I haven't done anything really hardcore with it yet.

    I haven't messed around with it much. Tried installing Apache, but Vista didn't like stuff that the install was trying to do, and denied access.

    It actually seems pretty secure, generally speaking. I don't know about any holes and such, but just trying to rename a shortcut on my desktop, it asks for permission.

    So I'll have to get back to you on this once I check it out more. :)

  11. Re:It's brilliant! on Net2phone Sues Skype · · Score: 1

    You know how to snipe, and play the market... truely a man of mystery. ;)

  12. Not enough pages... on Tom's Hardware Looks at Microsoft Vista Beta · · Score: 1

    Wow... under 50 pages... Tom's Hardware, I'm impressed. No, really. I'm sure you could have added in another 10 pages somehow... But really, people would probably stop reading your page, but they are too intrigued to see how many pages you've managed to bump up an article. But uh... so I can stay on topic... Vista is still a beta... and apparently these Ubuntu people have a release of Linux that looks almost like it says "Diaper".

  13. Re:Next news.... on Chicken and Egg Problem Solved · · Score: 1

    Wow dude. The scary thing about that is... it makes sense. ;)

  14. Re:We are emotionally sticky creatures on Soldiers Bond with Bomb-Defusing Robots · · Score: 1

    That is funny stuff. If I had points, I'd mod it as such.

  15. Re:This actually happened to me a few weeks ago on 130 Filesharer Homes Raided in Germany · · Score: 1

    That was great.

  16. Re:50 years? on The 50 Year History of Play-Doh · · Score: 1

    Receipt paper is really nasty, I can vouch for that.

  17. Wii stick... on Nintendo Revolution Renamed 'Wii' · · Score: 1

    "A key feature of the Wii is its one-handed controller that looks like a television remote control and uses motion-detection sensors that allow players to control the game by wielding it like a sword, waving it like a conductor's baton, or swinging it like a baseball bat." Nintendo Wii" Riiightt... I'm gonna wave me Wii stick around and play games... sounds like a fun time.

  18. Re:Radiation levels on Testing Cell Phone Radiation on Humans · · Score: 1

    Hopefully that phone will work out for you. :)

    Just thought I would make that orignal statement, since my phone was mentioned. Not meaning to start a comparison between phone reception capabilities. :)

    Have fun,

  19. Re:Radiation levels on Testing Cell Phone Radiation on Humans · · Score: 1

    It's not too bad. I've found that places I don't get service, other people don't either. I would get service though were I used to live, when other people weren't.

    People complain about certain things with my phone, and I seem to be doing alright with those particular issues.

  20. Re:Radiation levels on Testing Cell Phone Radiation on Humans · · Score: 1

    Good. I made it into the lowest catagory. Go Audiovox! I may not be able to cook with it, but at least my head will be safer...

  24. Should have been... on Xbox 360 Very Unstable · · Score: 1

    ...Xbox180. Turn around right back to the store until version 1.1 comes out. As for Sony Playstation competition, well... do you really want it? I mean, connected to your home network and everything? CDs?

  25. Our tests showed that... on Sony Completes First Full-Length Blu-ray Disc · · Score: 1
