  1. Re:Another Scheduling Flamewar on Round Robin Scheduling Not Power-Efficient · · Score: 1

    Maybe according to your emacs calendar...

  2. Re:Calvin Ball on The Future of Space Sports · · Score: 1

    Your feet touched the ground! That means you have to sing the sorry song!

  3. Re:Bonding for Unlimited Bandwidth on 10Gb Ethernet Alliance is Formed · · Score: 1

    The two gigabit ethernet plugs on the Mac Pro can do this; they can be combined to serve as one 2Gb connection.

  4. Re:18 84 58 A6 D1 50 34 DF E3 86 F2 3B 61 D4 37 74 on iPhone Application Key Leaked · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wait, wasn't this for HD-DVD? So... Why do we care again? ;)

  5. Re:Lack of acknowledgment of my market segment on What Bugs Apple Fans About Apple · · Score: 1

    All Intel macs support extended desktop, except the mini, which only has one DVI port.

  6. Re:Turn off UPNP on Most Home Routers Vulnerable to Flash UPnP Attack · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it is a good thing, then, that there is some technical barrier required in order to use something. If you want it that bad, maybe you should work for it.

  7. Re:Steal Wi-Fi? on Schneier Says 'Steal this Wi-Fi' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the case of bandwidth, you aren't purchasing anything, except maybe the modem. You're purchasing a service, and access to the company's network and support resources. Now, if you bought the fiber and servers, maybe you'd have half of an argument there.

  8. Re:The Canadian Military Uses This Too... on Wi-Fi Hack Aids Boarding Parties · · Score: 1

    Heh... Those suckers think those are submarines!

  9. Re:And we are supposed to be...Surprised? on Microsoft Wanted To Drop Mac Office To Hurt Apple · · Score: 1

    This merger/aquisition would never be approved since MS is already a convicted monopolist. Even if approved, Apple has Aperture (high end) and iPhoto (low end) ready for precisely this contingency. Except these programs aren't designed for compositing. Nor do they do vector graphics, layers, animations, etc. Adobe is much more than just Photoshop. 5. Cancel ProTools for the Mac and cease support and updates for existing versions Wait, isn't the current version of ProTools already like four years old?! ;)

  10. Re:PrisonIQ++++ on SETI Finally Finds Something · · Score: 1

    Not this one, apparently.

    ?Phone. ([apple]Phone, if you can't handle the Unicode.)

  12. Re:Why? on Want To Know About the New Apple MacBook Pro? · · Score: 1

    Clearly you've never used any of Apple's applications. The applications included in Mac OS X, iLife, and iWork are simply amazing, intuitive pieces of software... This MacBook Pro wouldn't be the same if I were just running Windows.

  13. Re:Automatic + Open = Garbage in? on New Auto-Seeding Torrent Server Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Exactly right. As opposed to maintaining a tracker on a server, and then separately seeding the files, this solves the problem for you, assuming you have sufficient bandwidth and disk space. This essentially combines the best of direct downloading and distributed downloading; ensuring content is always available, while minimizing the bandwidth used to distribute the content.

  14. Re:I like where it's going. on Lens That Writes on Both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    Considering the PS3 is a "computer", isn't it feasible that it may support an external HD-DVD player? Coupled with the internal HDMI/DLNA that the 360 lacks, I'd say this puts the PS3 in a fairly favorable position regardless of the format wars' outcome.

  15. Re:Sex on Ready to Test a 'SmartShirt'? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps then we'll actually believe you.

  16. Re:128 Bytes on Gadgets, Then & Now · · Score: 1

    It didn't make that big of a difference when you only had four colors per line on a 162x192 resolution. More RAM lets you have prettier graphics, and graphics won't make your gameplay any better. Two out of the three next-gen consoles will have 512MB of RAM, and no improvements to actual gameplay.

  17. Re:It's not all benefits. on Gadgets, Then & Now · · Score: 1

    "Please insert disk 17349 of 25000..." That's just the additional fonts disk, right?

  18. Re:Half a world away? on Sci-Fi Weapons to Join US Arsenal? · · Score: 1

    They may have actually already addressed that problem. FTFA:

    By using adaptive optics, what the Air Force has managed to do is to precondition the beam, so that it takes all the abnormal characteristics of the atmosphere out of the beam before it's propagated, and so by the time the beam reaches the target, it evolves into a very pristine, nearly optimal shape.

  19. Re:Oh boy! on Linux beats Windows to Intel iMac · · Score: 1

    Pah! Nethack is all you need!

  20. Re:30" display on MacBook Pros Upgraded and Shipped · · Score: 2, Informative

    The iMac has a mini-DVI port, yet the MBPro has a full-sized, Dual Link DVI port.

  21. Re:Only half the battle on A Bathroom That Cleans Itself · · Score: 1

    Fill your pans and bowls with water when you put them in the sink. Sure, it wastes a bit of water, but it helps a ton, seriously. :)

  22. Re:Difference between optimists and pessimists: on Making Yourself Miserable to Succeed? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    "Pessimist" is a term invented by optimists to describe realists.

  23. Re:Google Fanboyism at it's whackiest on Google to Create a Private Internet Alternative? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yet they say nothing about the ads intruding in an aural manner? I've made a point of personally boycotting any company that uses sound effects in their web-based advertisements.

  24. Re:This Just In... on No Anti-Virus in Vista · · Score: 1
    In other news, MS announced that the new operating system will now be renamed to Windows Vista Millenium Edition.

    Because it won't come out until the year 3000, of course!

    Make a $100 laptop for me! ;)
