  1. Re:Cool! on Google Wallet May Compete With Paypal · · Score: 1

    Microsoft cheerfully sells OSes that are unfit for general use, and does it for lots of money. Google hasn't charged me $200 to let them cache my search history, So they're better.

  2. Re:Mandriva on Firefox Faces Trademark Issues · · Score: 1

    Firefish!

    Logo won't need much change then.

  3. Re:New? on Sci-Fi Channel Picks Up Firefly · · Score: 1

    Sci-Fi would be the first to employ the view-doze system, that lets you watch TV in your sleep to enhance ratings...

  4. BECAUSE ALL-CAPS MEANS "ATTENTION WHORE" on Upgrade Your G4 Cube to a Pentium M Processor · · Score: 1

    "You're not paranoid if they're really out to get you." -- Paranoid AC

    IMO Redundant means something already said, quoting the whole article for karma would be a very valid use of redundant, joining into a choir of "me too" is redundant, if I replied as AC to say "By the way, you are not fooling anybody by anonymously complaining about how lame your previous post was." that might even be redundant.

    Usually I reply to my modded down posts to complain as non AC, or I shut up and take it from the deranged mods. It would be nice if they picked a more appropriate mod description though, overrated or something. I wouldn't mind having a "post at score 0" box to hit either, hear me TacoNeil?

  5. Re:So ****ing what? on Upgrade Your G4 Cube to a Pentium M Processor · · Score: 1

    aims for those PC users who admire the G4 Cube's design but don't want to run PowerPC software such as Mac OS, Mac OS X or Linux.

    Linux is only for PPC, silly...

  6. I don't care. on Upgrade Your G4 Cube to a Pentium M Processor · · Score: 1, Redundant

    "and we've put the hard work in to ensure Windows compatibility."

    Faster Linux?

  7. Re:Why NASA? on Math with Cohen and Groening · · Score: 1

    Stick a laugh track on Babylon 5 and it'd become a sitcom.

    Seems like they pestered NASA quite a bit.

  8. Re:I've had it on Debian Upgrade May Cause Serious Breakage · · Score: 1

    Gentoo is vastly worse in this department than Debian AFAIK.

  9. Re:Oh... on Microsoft Found Guilty of Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    Now he'll buy two.

  10. Re:Overkill on Decoding the Genome: Serious Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    Thank god. I don't think I'd want to live in a world with two of him.

    Really, there wouldn't be any decent ST: TNG episodes if that were the case... :-)

  11. Re:I'll forgive Plextor if they bring back Rainier on Interview with Alexander Noe, PxScan Developer · · Score: 1

    Linux firmware updating would be nice too.

    I hate to install Windows every time they have an upgrade.

  12. I'll forgive Plextor if they bring back Rainier on Interview with Alexander Noe, PxScan Developer · · Score: 1

    ...support.

    Its an awesome feature I'm dying to use...

  13. Re:Units of measure on Atomic Clock Turns 50 · · Score: 1

    Lump of sugar has to be the oddest comparison ever...

    Perhaps, but now I'm wondering how much time could be packed into a station wagon full of sugar cubes given this breakthrough.

  14. Re:Backwards on Is Rodi BitTorrent's Replacement? · · Score: 1

    I suppose its provably aiding and abetting the actions of a network generally dedicated to breaching intellectual property laws.

    Was that spiderman 2 you were proxying!?

  15. Re:The Problem: Batteries don't last long enough. on Batteries Becoming Limiting Step For Portable Toys · · Score: 1

    See that Lithium-Ion battery in your phone?

    My phone?

    Actually its across the room and has a 9v battery that it doesn't rely on except for blackouts.

    I must be on the bleeding edge of technology to be so lucky!

  16. Re:Show us more on Star Trek XI In Two To Three Years. · · Score: 1

    Insurrection was arguably the worst at this - the whole thing felt like a 2 part TNG from one of the latter seasons.

    Except TNG never stooped to "oh look, heres a communications don't work field we'll be sitting in".

  17. Re:PC with the kernel in ROM on Cheap Solid State Computers Could Kill Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I have an A2000 with an untended clock battery, must look fun in there now...

  18. Re:PC with the kernel in ROM on Cheap Solid State Computers Could Kill Microsoft · · Score: 1

    AmigaOS had its kernel+stuff in ROM too.

    Hence its fast boot times. The Amiga 600 was claimed to be instant on (never saw it in action though).

  19. Ahem... on Cheap Solid State Computers Could Kill Microsoft · · Score: 4, Funny

    Since you are reading this on a computer, you are a slave to MS and you should care. /sarcasm/ Yes, I care deeply.

  20. Re:ARexx, too bad Rexx didn't grab its featurelist on O'Reilly on the Virtues of Rexx · · Score: 1

    When I think of ARexx I keep going back to the time I had to bang out several lines of code to reinvent an xor fuction, because the builtin seemed absolutely broken.

    ARexx definitely had its moments, it also seemed very sloppy in implementation though.

  21. Re:When you're hot, you're hot on Titan Moon's Bright Hot Spot · · Score: 1

    Given that an anonymous put that lousy synopsis up there, and you're anonymous and speak like a fat sneezy turtle, why don't I try coining something...

    FOAC!

  22. Re:When you're hot, you're hot on Titan Moon's Bright Hot Spot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why can't we point an infrared camera at it?

  23. Re:Be careful!!! on There Is No Safe Web Browser · · Score: 1

    Just wait until you work things out enough to find those mental pop-unders.

  24. Re:No browser is safe? on There Is No Safe Web Browser · · Score: 1

    Telnet may be secure, I've heard of vulerabilities in terminal emulators though.

  25. Re:I use on There Is No Safe Web Browser · · Score: 1

    If you've been infected with spyware/adware, you are running a system that is insecure.

    Not just insecure, compromised.

    Big difference I think.
