  2. Re:The malicious website in question? on Mac OS X Struck By Severe Security Hole · · Score: 0, Troll

    HA HA HA...oh wait, that auctually isn't very funny at all, in fact, its rather repetitive and really used up. Try something new for once.

  3. I wonder... on MacBook Pros Upgraded and Shipped · · Score: 1

    I wonder if Apple is going to follow the PC universe and pump up their speeds every month like every other manufacturer out there when Intel releases a new clock speed .12Ghz faster than the previous model. What about the different processor cores. Will Apple continue with one core and ignore core revisions until a significant time later?

  4. Re:Not New on Teachers Using Computer Games in Class · · Score: 1

    At the school I work for, one teacher had me (school tech) install several games onto his machine. He used them as 'rewards' for students who did well in the class. I thought it was stupid, but the principal seemed to like the idea and made me do it anyways.

  5. Where no man has.... on The Ultimate Dual-Hand Touchscreen · · Score: 1

    Ok, combine that with http://slashdot.org/science/99/05/27/1215204.shtml Warp Engines and now you have something!

  6. so is this on Team Confirms UCLA Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 1

    So would this be considered cold fusion? This is not , but from the article, it appears that it could be called cold fusion. Or am I wrong since I am not a nuclear scientist.

  7. still an OS on Online Ajax Pages The New Web Desktop? · · Score: 1
    You still need an OS to get to these webpages. Sure, you could make a machine to boot straight to the web, but guess what, its still an OS accessing a webpage.

    I personally would hate this too. What if your internet is down. Does that mean you can't use your comptuer at all?

  8. oh to be a salesman again... on Intel Looks Beyond the Microchip · · Score: 1

    i would love to still be working at CompUSA when the pentium name is finally dropped for good so that when a customer comes in looking for a new computer and says 'I don't care whats in it, I just need a Pentium 4', I can say, 'oh sorry maam, Pentium 4's don't exist anymore, how bout this AMD64'.

  9. really on Polite Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    So what exactly is the silent and vibrate function for...oh wait, I just figured out the vibrate function. Geez, women get everything!

  10. =( Poor me on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    I feel so left out. I started with a Pentium 133. My dad hated computers until I was in High School. The only hatred more than that was his hatred for video games so I was consoless as well =*(

  11. I hate people some times on Are Web Firms Giving in to China? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Get over it people! We are not China nor do we have any power to tell China what to do. If they want the censor the internet from their people, so be it. Let their people decide when enough is enough. Man, sometimes I wish freedom of speech didn't exist so morons like you would quit thinking everyone if the world needs to change to be more like the US.

  12. Re:Is it just me... on Sony To Bundle UMDs With DVDs · · Score: 1

    exactly, where are the good movies. the only title there that was good was snatch. but why would i want to watch it on an iddy biddy screen. i can rip it to my pocket pc if i wanna watch it while traveling.

  13. Re:Global warming is a myth because we say it is. on 20th Century Warmest In 1200 Years · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that its the job of a parent to tell their kid to put their jacket on when its winter. It doesn't mean that its auctually cold outside, just the winter season. And yes, maybe you just got fat and have a warm car to drive around in and not a bicycle.

  14. HEHEHE on WoW the Next "Golf"? · · Score: 1

    I can see it now: LFG Computer Tech [Need 35k/yr, 401k, and benefits] PST

  15. Voice on Choosing Your Voice For Online Gaming · · Score: 1

    I prefer to mainly hear the voice chat unless I am one of the key players for planning. But usually, its a bunch of 12 year olds acting all big because they know they will never meet the other person face to face.

  16. Re:Playing Devil's Advocate... on Apple Sued Over Potential Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    I used to work at CompUSA and those earbuds are sold sepeartely. Not sure if they were ever bundled, but they are Apple brand earbuds. This guy suing is a freaking moron. Why not sue Ford or Chevy for making car stereos go so loud. I hope he gets laughed out of court!

  17. I am in the IT Department on Overwhelming Bureaucracy in the IT Department? · · Score: 1

    I work in the IT Department for my school district. Its unfortunate that even we have these same issues. I think it comes from the high up people that have no idea what a computer. When we mention a hardware upgrade to our server, they are like, "What, that server is only a year old. Its practically brand new." No matter that it runs 24/7 with over 5,000 users accessing it. I feel that if you want to work in the IT department no matter what position it is, you should know about computers. Even if its in the basic areas. All those suits sitting in the expensive leather chairs wearing Armani suits should let auctual Techy people do what they do best.

  18. Re:Oldest on Remains of First African Slaves Found · · Score: 1

    Gotta wonder how long they have been holding on to that one for black history month.

  19. hmmm on Poor Spelling Beats Google's China Filter · · Score: 1

    How would China stop their citizens from using www.google.com instead of www.china.cn. Or, how about a proxy website? Do the internet providers in China filter out websites they are even allowed to use? Where I work, we use a program called Websense on our servers that does not allow certain websites to come up.

    Not really wasting. Let the GPU take some of the work off the CPU. It just sits there using electricity, may as well use it.

    Just because there is a small percent of people, like you apparently, that don't believe in God, it doesn't mean that this man doesn't. Believe it or not, some people like to talk about God, err, Intelligent Design, whatever you wanna call it.

  23. So lets see on No Anti-Virus in Vista · · Score: 1

    I wonder if its even worth upgrading to. I mean, WinFS will be available for WinXP and I already like my antivirus http:%5C%5Cwww.ca.com%5C

  24. Sounds cool, but on Warner Bros. to Try File Sharing in Germany · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone use this? I mean, the price will be about the same as a DVD, but will be a download. Why not then just go and buy the DVD? If you buy all episodes/movies you want and your hard drive suddenly desires to become a paper weight, then what? You have to re-download them all. Plus, you then have to buy blank media to burn them if burning is allowed. And if it is allowed, how does Warner Bros expect the people from just re-ripping and sharing it on another P2P network? It sounds good and like its for the people, but it sounds like Warner Bros just wants to make the same amount of money they are, but no production costs of DVDs and all that stuff.

  25. Re:Okey dokey on Gay Guild Recruitment Disallowed From WoW? · · Score: 1

    I agree with what you said. Blizzard is protecting these people that want to join the guild from harrassment. I am a happily married man with a baby on the way. One time someone dueled me in WoW and because I beat the snot out of me, he started saying I was a fag and was whispering him dirty things. Then I started getting flamed from all directions. Did I do any of that to him, no (except the beating him in a duel). I had to put several dozen names on my ignore list. I removed all the names a month later and had to re-add a few of them. Immaturity exist in the game, but sometimes if someone is joking around or just being stupid, it can come off as insulting and harrassment. Don't forget, these people can't hear how they are being spoken to, text looks just like text and you will take it the way you want to take it, and it usually turns bad even if the other person is just carrying a joke too far.
