    Try getting a job without a high school dimploma? Heck, try getting one with a high school dimploma.

  2. Re:UI customization? on Microsoft Drops Hints on IE8 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Err.. You do know IE7 supports alpha channel transparency in PNG images don't you?

  3. Re:Competition for emusic on Apple To Grant All Labels DRM-Free Distribution · · Score: 1

    Which of course means when the smaller labels set prices to $0.05 (just an example) a song, Apple will still sell it at $1.29 a track rather than passing the savings on to its customers.

  4. Re:didn't the "Core" line start out with laptops t on Intel's Penryn Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    Core Duo was based on the Pentium M, which was a notebook chip. Things went from there.

  5. Re:.ca on To Verizon, "Unlimited" Means 5 GB · · Score: 1

    And at 500kB/sec that takes only 1/10th of the time. Add on to that any bandwidth spent uploading on Bittorrent. It's easier than you think.

    At 500kB/sec to download a 4 gig ISO image it only takes around 2 and a half hours. Say I'm interested in trying out SuSE or Fedora. Does not take much.

    Poor guy. Reply before yours as I post this is Score: 3, Informative. Post below yours is Score: 3, Informative.

    Sad how that works ;)

    Let's just show France we appreciate their support and tag the article blamefrance.

    Well lets hope they don't get to 10, realize what an abysmal failure they are when an even number sucks and decide to make a "Fedora -5: Prequil Edition"

    And you think you're going to get free shipping by ordering all those parts separately?

    We know that, but it's all about giving the biggest pipes to the people with the deepest pockets!

  12. Re:Game library size on The 10 Worst Games Made For The PSP and DS · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the DS also has the entire Game Boy Advance library at it's disposal.

  13. Re:Spend hours to get $52.50 on How to get a Refund on Your Unwanted Windows · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Which is why even the summary says: "Wroclawski admits that the $52.50 refund was more of a victory in principle than anything else".

    Anything that shows companies like Dell that people want something other than Windows is a step in the right direction. Maybe after refunding that $52.50 enough times, they'll start to rethink pre-installing Windows without giving people a choice.

    I'm typing this reclined in a lazyboy with a 22" wide screen monitor, mounted with an arm to the desk next to the chair, hovering about 18" away from eyes at a perfect viewing angle using a wireless keyboard and trackball connected to an 8 way KVM with 5 computers lined up within reach under the desk next to the chair. Add in the sound system, 42" HD LCD TV visible just to the right of the monitor

    Just walk around back. There might really be a line forming.

    Wow.. that's amazing.

    My favourite part:
    "What is it exactly you like about the PS3?"
    "I think it's the Bluray"
    "What exactly is Bluray?"
    "I don't know"

  19. Re:Here's an idea on PS3 Lines Already Forming In America · · Score: 1

    Scenario: You are Best Buy. Sony decides instead of selling the PS3 through you, they sell them directly to make themselves more money. These customers, instead of going into your store to purchase the PS3, and most likely other things as well (think: accessories, games) are no longer in your store.

    Are you happy with this?

    The last time I tried upgrading Linux from a CD that stuck itself in the slot I ended up with a broken floppy drive!

  24. Re:Improved animations on What's Different About Vista's GUI? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Any new computer system released after Vista should support all the eye candy. That will certainly be where most of the Vista installations come from, new computers.

    Even the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) series of shared-RAM chips supports the Vista eye candy.

    And I'm sure surfing porn sites with the virus scanner turned off is in their job description too.
