  1. Discounts for college students on Microsoft Giving Away Vista Ultimate, With a Catch · · Score: 1

    At my university, students can get the latest Vista and Office for $15 ea. XP and the old Office cost $5. Not bad considering they retail for $300.

  2. Re:Where do you get the Vista Ultimate? on Microsoft Giving Away Vista Ultimate, With a Catch · · Score: 1

    The free software has been discontinued as of DEC 11.

  3. Re:How is this provocative ? on China Tests Anti-Satellite Laser Weapon · · Score: 1

    It's "provocative" because the States is a very stable democratic state. Whereas China is an unstable communist one, allied with you-know-who at that...

  4. Re:How about not treating me like a criminal in th on Cell Phone Owners Allowed To Break Software Locks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Really? I thought your heart stops during the fall. It can't take the epinephrine produced during the realization of you, well... dying. So it just quits. So people die before impact.

  5. Honestly... on Counter-Strike Opens Weapons Market · · Score: 1

    Who looks at the prices when buying these weapons...? This is totally useless.

  6. Re:I lost count on Sony May Try To Stop PS3 Game Resales · · Score: 1

    But making your in-laws buy Neil Diamond... that, well, some things you just can't condone.

    I'm sure it was his "in-laws"'s computer and also "their" Neil Diamond CD...

  7. A brand can make or break a console's success on Developers React To 'Wii' · · Score: 1

    There's a reason why Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, etc. are all so successful. Particularly Microsoft: its name is 3 syllables; the logo is plain and simple, with a simple font and a stylized "O". Short and sweet. People recognize it right away. This is the reason why large firms have an entire department (marketing) dedicated to researching this. "What makes our product stand out?" "What provides that 'punch'?" Wii sure is short. But I'm not sure if it's "sweet"....

  8. Re:Cool! on New 3D Graphics Card Features in 2006 · · Score: 1

    I hope to God you're joking.

  9. Re:Spell checker on New Fatal1ty Gaming Mouse · · Score: 1

    Looks like the spell checker got pwned by fatal1ty too! .... with a name like Fatal1ty, you'd think so, wouldn't you?

  10. Re:Um on Microsoft's Big Bet on Online Gaming · · Score: 1

    I don't play games to escape anything.

    I play games to have fun. Try that.

  11. I don't get it.. on Cash Pours in for Student with $1 Million Web Idea · · Score: 1

    You can't click on any of the ads. What's the point? Or am I missing something here?

  12. Here's a thought.. on National Archives' Digital Woes · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Let Google handle it?

  13. Re:Wireless CC processor? on Apple Revolutionizing Retail · · Score: 1

    It's probably encrypted to hell and would take 10 years to bruteforce... By then, your CC would've already expired.

  14. Open new doors and windows on 10 Biggest Microsoft Surprises of 2005 · · Score: 1

    1. IE rises from the dead: After insisting that Internet Explorer was an inextricable part of Windows, Microsoft abruptly changed course and decided to develop and deliver a new standalone version of its browser, after all. Nothing like a little competition to open new doors (and windows).

    Haven't they been doing this...?

  15. Re:Sounds like an excuse... on Firefox Gets File Sharing Extension · · Score: 1

    You have to keep it open for as long as possible after you're done fapping. It's etiquette.

  16. Re:What a moron. on Linux's Difficulty with Names · · Score: 1

    This is beating a dead horse but... there's a reason why "Photoshop" has become a generic verb to mean "to manipulate/edit photos" and "GIMP" hasn't. Hell, it still means "an incapable/incompetent fellow" to me.

  17. It is called foobar2000 on Songbird the Open Source iTunes? · · Score: 1

    A Firefox for music? It is called foobar2000. No, it's not open-source. But the premise is there: freedom. Freedom over the formats you want to use, the looks, usability, versatility, etc.

  18. Re:This is stupid. Maybe not on Google to Buy Opera? · · Score: 1

    One word: cellphones.

    It hasn't picked up pace yet, big boy. Connection fees are absurd. It's also slow and not worth it. But then again, this is what they said about broadband internets. (Minus the slow part obviously...)

  19. Re:Facilitators on Music Should Be Heard But Not Understood · · Score: 1

    Some artists have lyrics printed on the album inserts.
