  1. Re:In No Way Is This A Virus on Virus Writers Target Google's Sponsored Links · · Score: 1

    Also dont use sponsored links

    think about this, someone has gone and paid to get their site to the top, not by making it a site thats relevant to the search, or is popular. Is it really worth looking at?

    I always skip the sponsored links, its another name for an ad

  2. My Honest Opinion on Quantum Physics Parts Ways With Reality · · Score: 1

    Physics is crap, always has been, always will be.

    Its always "true until proven false".

    What if programs were written like that? Horrible horrible outcomes :P

  3. Re:So soon? on gTalk To Get Video Boost? · · Score: 1

    Google has integrated Talk into Gmail, and its seemless from The browser to the desktop app. Thats more convienent than MSN or Yahoo.

    I use Gtalk all the time, its small, lightweight, and not bloated with crap, it takes up at max 40 megs of memory, wheras MSN idles at 80mb.

  7. Re:ATTN: SWITCHEURS! on Vista Taking a Nibble Out of Apple in OS Wars? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If you don't know what more than 1 button on a mouse is for, GTFO.
    If you think Itunes is a decent music application, GTFO.
    If you're still looking for a game that is not photoshop, GTFO.
    If the term "Market Share" means nothing to you, GTFO.


    I'm really annoyed at the so called real mac users. They seem to be a bunch of snobby bastards who wouldn't try anything else. Just so you know things don't become number 1 being crap. Windows has spent many years at number one because, even though so many people say its crap, it seems to fill the needs of what people need to do. I don't stand behind any OS, they all have their flaws, but i am completely against Mac.

    Also Why is it called a "pro mouse" when it has one button? i have a logitech mx500 and i don't even need to move the cursor or touch the keyboard to go back, forward, scroll up and down, and switch applications. Accessibility anyone?

    You arise from your toilet to see a small robot, with a camera looking at you, which replies to your shocked face "Nothing to worry, routine wire check" :P

  11. Re:double sided phone? on Samsung's UpStage Looks To Trump iPhone · · Score: 1

    In these days though people expect technology to be 100% or not at all. But i can see what you mean. you'd want to get the phone fixed, but if the screen was damaged you can still keep some functionality until you had it repaired.

  12. Re:Since when is the RIAA a company? on RIAA Wins Worst Company In America 2007 · · Score: 1

    But by being a commune aren't they being also being hypocritical of there structure for suing people who they say don't own their music?

  13. IDM/Expirimental too? on Gifted Children Find Heavy Metal Comforting · · Score: 1

    So if it happens to be true, can it also be the reason i find comfort in listening to Daft punk (the newer stuff) Aphex Twin and mr Oizo? Everyone who i know cannot understand why i listen to such weird and experimental music but it seems to make me focus in on tasks and makes me feel happier :D

  16. Re:I surprised you saw UAC at all. on Tricking Vista's UAC To Hide Malware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People have also speculated that this is so M$ can blame the user later. So they went through all the trouble to try and create a system which lets users know more about whats happening to tell them that in the end its all your fault if you get a virus? Why not just say in the EULA "Dont click anything, it could be a virus/worm/trojan/spy ware/ad ware. We wont help you then"? Furthermore, why does windows have so much support then? why are there updates? Its not "Deal with it yourself", its most likely "We cant protect you from it all, but we will try" As for a non free OS comment, People use non free OSes these days because they honestly dont know how things work, and wont spend the time to. Its the same reason why anyone can build a car, but noone really does.
