  1. Re:translation on Robot Balances on a Single Spherical Wheel · · Score: 1

    as opposed to a single rectangular wheel.

  2. Re:Governmentisement? on Iran's President Launches Blog · · Score: 1

    Another blog is reporting that when you visit his blog, it tries to install a virus. Can anyone confirm or deny?

  3. Re:yay on RIAA Case Against Mother Dismissed · · Score: 1

    Man does not decide what is right and wrong, God decides. So God decided: what kind of digital information may be copied? the speed limit in a school zone? how waste asbestos may be legally disposed of? how many hours a week a person can work before overtime must be paid or if the job is exempt? whether it's legal to buy fireworks in your state? ...I could go on and on. I contend that it is your response that reflects much of what is wrong with the world. The laws we live by are most definitely made by man.

  4. Re:YAY! on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    There really was a famous inventor named Philo Farnsworth, but I don't think he was a professor. He invented the "Image Oscillite" which later came to be known as the TELEVISION.

  5. Re:Restrike while the iron is still warm? on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    Fox is not bringing the series back. According to the story, it's Comedy Central.

    Comedy is like art or food, people have different tastes. I think that Family Guy is hilarious. Their rip on Christine Aguilera was probably the single funniest joke of 2005.

  6. Toolbar! I don't need no steenkin toolbar. on Yahoo Sued for Spyware, Typosquatting-Based Ads · · Score: 1

    I never understood the purpose of these toolbars. I prefer to see content in my windows, not bars and tabs. I just bookmark the advanced search page for Yahoo and Google. (They return just about identical results).

  7. Re:I remember "The Net" on More Than 20 Years of the Web on the Big Screen · · Score: 2, Informative

    I rented "The Net 2.0" a couple of weeks ago. In the first scene the heroine is checking her bank account over the internet. While she is distracted, it shows her balance count down to zero, like an odometer in reverse. I guess the hacker was making 0.01 withdrawls in rapid succession that got posted immediately and somehow refreshed her browser every tenth of a second. After that, I turned off the movie and switched to Cartoon Network because I wanted to watch something a little more realistic. I guess it's the same feeling a mechanic gets watching the General Lee jump a creek, destroy it's frame and then be complete fine in the next scene.

  8. Re:Windows Vs. Linux on Discovering Bottlenecks in PCs Built for Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I have the same setup. Load times are almost twice as fast under Linux, but my average frame-rate is the same or slightly less. Overall, I like playing on Linux a little more than playing on NT2000. Non-performance wise, there are a couple of irritating glitches in the Linux version: Sound is not localized, meaning I hear footsteps and grunts from players no matter how far away they are. And my name doesn't appear on the license plate when I get in a vehicle.

  9. Re:Wake up call on Details of the LiveJournal Account Hacks · · Score: 1

    It doesn't suprise me that they have all kinds of malicious script problems. My 14 year old daughter is a typical blogger on Xanga. She spends most of her time editing her layout, which involves: 1.)seeing something she likes on another person's blog. 2.) copying the script from their blog They have whole blog's that contain nothing but scripts to add "cool features" to copy to their personal blog. Most of the scripts seem to involve CSS manipulation. She doesn't know the first thing about coding, but has added all kinds of "features" to her page. I've explained to here the dangers of doing this, but having a cool looking blog far outweighs the dangers to a typical teenager.

    Hey, LiveJournal has some entertaining blogs. Check out RandomPictures and WTF at LiveJournal.

  11. Re:Tachikomas! on Review of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex · · Score: 1

    I thought that the stupid pokemon-like voices of the Tachikomas was the only real negative part of the series.

  12. Re:Microsoft has a perfectly functional command li on Linux's Difficulty with Names · · Score: 1

    cd f:\ ...just doesn't work for me. I can only change to a directory in c:\

  13. Re: nice. on Groening Confident on Futurama Relaunch · · Score: 1

    Have you ever seen another cartoon that did a joke about Benjamin Disraeli?

  14. Re:Science! on Marfa Lights Explained · · Score: 1

    I'd believe in god before I believe in UFO's, crop circles, bigfoot, et. al.

  15. Original Aeon Flux is a parody of Aeon Flux on Aeon Flux, Talk Amongst Yourselves · · Score: 1

    The original episode was a parody of this movie's genre. You know, the "Bang, bang; you're dead; we're free; yea!" genre. Plus, in the animated episodes, Aeon gets killed in half the episodes.

  16. Re:Video Link on The World of Competitive Gaming · · Score: 1

    .nsv is a Winamp3 video format.

  17. Re:Relavent link on Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer · · Score: 1

    I also like how the article calls 19 and 20 year olds "youths" and "youngsters". Playing catch with a grenade at 2AM... I think maybe alcohol was involved.
