    At least black and white TV sets usefully decode color signals.

    Not much comes out of flash on an webbrowser without a flash plugin loaded.

  2. Re:Google? Best Practices? on Webby Award 2004 Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    Because guns are effective at launching high velocity globs of metal into its owner, after a rapist confiscates it and has their way with them?

  5. Re:Making MS green... on The Man Who (Really) Makes Google Tick · · Score: 1

    ...Later on in Google's career the PETA enraging truth about PageRank was discovered, to this day they have a slave workforce of pidgeons providing millions of search results a day without providing proper break times or health coverage.

  6. Re:Google Overated ? on The Man Who (Really) Makes Google Tick · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A clean page and what used to be some nice results sold me.

    Biggest selling point it that they haven't driven me off with obnoxious ads and really stupid search results.

    Google hasn't been blatantly evil to me yet.
    In fact have they been provably evil at all, outside of designs on lunar domination?

    I'm still waiting for the announcement that someone made a useful cell that doesn't take more power to create than will ever be generated in its lifetime.

    A cheap case lid made without consideration of slicing up your hands isn't the finest in bludgeoning technology.

  9. Re:Commodore 64 music? on Build A Stereo From an Old Hard Disk · · Score: 1

    I recall hearing my drive play Daisy. Maybe I'm just having pangs of remorse for disconnecting it while it played though. :-)

  10. Re:Games are getting ridiculous on Perfect Digital Skin · · Score: 1

    Well, they rock if you happen to be a killbot, unless it harvests human body parts for its own use.

    Sounds like a fun game. :-)

  11. Re:Lighting still needs work on Perfect Digital Skin · · Score: 1

    In a raytracer you'd just build the light you want as another object if you were that needy. :-)

    I don't see what Ruby has over Dawn and Dusk.

  14. Re:Not worth the upgrade on Previewing ATi's Radeon X800 XT & X800 Pro · · Score: 1

    What about people like me who are still using GF2 GTS?

    I'm still happy with mine, though the heatsink fan on my Leadtek make has long since stopped spinning.

  15. Re:OGG Vorbis on Super MP3 Will Feature User Tracking · · Score: 1

    Vorbis can support that many channels, but so far it hasn't AFAIK.

  16. Re:Here's to Hoping Ogg Helps Out on Dirac: BBC Open Source Video Codec · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure Xiph wants to have their media formats tied down with the GPL.

    Shame VLC won't play the mms link embedded in the .asx.

    DOS-heads gloating to each other in front of an Amiga calendar.

    I find that so incredibly weird, my head might implode...

  22. Re:Uhhh on Researchers To Climb Ararat To Seek Noah's Ark · · Score: 5, Insightful
