  1. Re:No flash support on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    It can. Every iPhone app is already sandboxed.

  2. Re:fixed on Programming With Proportional Fonts? · · Score: 1

    I've been copying "Screen13" around to my various systems since working on SGIs in the 90s. I even have my editor set up to use the white on dark blue/purple background found in SGI terminals. Very nice readable font and text you can stare at all day.

  3. Re:$6000? For a giant Team America: World Police d on Futuristic Sex Robots Now Just "Sex Robots" · · Score: 1

    Yes, but - finally, "someone" I can literally shit on without her complaining! That's worth a lot more than $6K.

  4. Re:PS3 on Move Over BoxeeBox, Here Comes PopBox · · Score: 1

    No it can't, because Netflix streams cap out at 720p with stereo audio.

    I didn't say Netflix could - I say the *PS3* could. It can stream high-def video with surround from my PC. Your Roku can't do that.

    My point was the PS3 is a much better audio/video streaming device than these Netflix-only devices.

  5. Re:Slashdot agrees... on New Research Suggests G-Spot Doesn't Exist · · Score: 1

    This guy is finger-fucking a really fat chick, and loses his ring. While he's digging around for the ring, his watch comes off and he loses that. Eventually he has to crawl inside to look for his watch. While he's crawling around he comes across another guy sitting in there. He says to the guy: "hey, can you help me find my watch, and then help me get out of here?". The other guy then says "heck yeah, and if you help me find my truck, we'll drive out of here together."

    Bada-boom.

  6. PS3 on Move Over BoxeeBox, Here Comes PopBox · · Score: 4, Informative

    My PS3 can stream Netflix and stream video from my PC, at 1080p with 7.1 audio. And it can play BluRay and upscale regular DVDs. Oh and there are some games. Doesn't cost much more than these others and has a very nice user experience.

    Why not just get one of them? Hopefully not because it doesn't run Linux.

  7. Decade? Really? on Steve Jobs Crowned "Person of the Decade" · · Score: 1

    Come back next year when the decade really ends and lets see where he is then. This is a bit premature.

  8. Pin configuration? on Scientists Create First Functional Molecular Transistor · · Score: 3, Funny

    I assume once they add the Acetone and Turpentine, we'll end up with a DIP package?

  9. Re:I haven't seen it on The Science of Avatar · · Score: 1

    which generally costs at least $16 US dollars

    I paid $15 for my ticket in Madison, WI. Though I skipped the popcorn. Eating during movies in the theater is obnoxious.

  10. Re:c++ is 'write-only' code on The Environmental Impact of PHP Compared To C++ On Facebook · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe you should learn the language first. It seems there are an awful lot of people who love to comment on the complexity and performance of C++, who never bothered to really learn the language. Yet this doesn't stop them from pretending the be experts on it.

  11. Australia on Driver Gets Stuck On Cruise Control · · Score: 1

    Aha. Australia is in the SOUTHERN hemisphere. Everyone knows water goes down the toilet backwards there. I'm going to assume that you need to press the break to speed up and use the cruise control to slow down. Maybe he just forgot about that.

  12. Re:Why buy either? on Barnes & Noble's Nook, Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Is it the battery life of these things, or is the hardware form factor really nice?

    Yes.

    And weight. Imagine holding your netbook in your hand like a book for 2 hours.

  13. Re:insert joke here on Man "Beats" World of Warcraft · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That's just what I do to pass the time between working, playing with my kids, traveling, drinking, flying airplanes, hosting dinner parties, etc.

    Posting occasionally on /. doesn't HAVE to be an indicator of no life. It just usually does.

  14. Re:insert joke here on Man "Beats" World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Heh - no. I prefer having a "real" life.

  15. Re:insert joke here on Man "Beats" World of Warcraft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What does homosexuality have to do with it?

  16. Re:ehh on DX11 Tested Against DX9 With Dirt 2 Demo · · Score: 1

    When I "watch" movies, I just close my eyes and imagine them in my head. No expensive disks and the "screen" is *huge*!

    Remember that part in Star Wars where Han made out with Ohura while Spock watched? Then Marty saved them all by going back in time and rescuing some giraffes from the 80s? That was so cool.

  17. Re:I'm a PC... on Apple Voiding Smokers' Warranties? · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean in your parent's house? Get a job, hippy!

  18. Re:here's where we get to hear someone spew on Easing the Job of Family Tech Support? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I had to sell my black turtleneck sweater to pay for my Mac. Oh the irony!

  19. Re:Dell Zino on OS X Update Officially Kills Intel Atom Support · · Score: 1

    Probably someone who needs to run Mac programs. Just a guess.

  20. Re:For everyone who is going WTF who is Glenn Beck on Glenn Beck Loses Dispute Over Parody Domain · · Score: 1

    (this same sort of thing was tried with Ann Coulter, because she does the same shit. Unfortunately it didn't go anywhere because people actually believed she was a transsexual.)

    She isn't?

  21. Re:Professionalism on Some Early Adopters Stung By Ubuntu's Karmic Koala · · Score: 1

    But why don't the Linux distros go to same lenghts? It shouldn't be impossible, unless of course, commercial projects are maintained more professionally.

    I assume that since we have the source, we can just "fix it ourselves"? That's the whole point, isn't it?

  22. Re:Wrong audience on What Happened To the Bay Bridge? · · Score: 1

    I accidentally picked the wrong moderator item, so I'm responding here to back out.

    I would have picked Insightful.

  23. Re:Poor QA on Why Computers Suck At Math · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess in the Patriot situation, the decision went in the opposite direction. Hence errors we introduced.

    Ah, so you're the one responsible!

  24. Re:Eyecandy in cost of usability on Firefox To Replace Menus With Office Ribbon · · Score: 5, Funny

    There is no Dana, only XUL.

  25. Re:Welcome to Michigan on Alabama Wages War Against the Perfect Weed · · Score: 1

    Pecot says 'it could spread all the way to Michigan'

    Face it, Michigan is doomed. Good thing I live in Wisconsin.
