  1. Re:lion costs a whopping $30 on An Early Look At Mac OS X 10.8 · · Score: 1

    Lion drops support for PowerPC applications.

  2. Re:The question is still absurd... on 2 In 3 Misunderstand Gas Mileage; Here's Why · · Score: 1

    Well that's a bit overly simplistic, don't you think?

  3. Re:XXS and other issues on Why Won't Apple Sell Your iTunes LPs? · · Score: 1

    It is quite likely that if they let people design their own LP's then Apple has to vet them for programming issues like cross site scripting especially if it allows HTML, Javascript or other languages to be active within them. And they just don't have the time to go over everyones code.

    I'm sure Apple could employ someone for a mere fraction of $10,000 per album to vet the code.

  4. Re:its not the pain on Pain-Free Animals Could Take Suffering Out of Farming · · Score: 1

    Gregor is a weird name

    Actually, I would love for soldiers to not have weapons...

  6. Re:usb keyboard? on Stealing Data Via Electrical Outlet · · Score: 1

    Wireless is great... but doesn't there have to be a receiver? Wouldn't the "keypresses" received by the receiver still be grounded?

    If I had mod points, they'd be yours!

    Canadian zip code humor: http://tinyurl.com/V4G1N4

    Yeah, it's funny... kinda. But Canada doesn't have zip codes ;)

  9. Re:I Like This on Motion Control To Lengthen Console Hardware Cycles · · Score: 1

    One of each? when you want everything, you're not allowed to complain about the price...

  10. Re:XP Sucks, Vista is Better on Microsoft Ending Mainstream Support For XP · · Score: 1

    You're looking at Apple for a potential new computer... but you don't like linux for its lack of apps? What would you run on the mac that you couldn't run on Linux? Don't get me wrong, I'm a mac-fan (just ordered my second MBP in 4 years) but your statements don't make sense unless you need a very VERY specialized suite of programs.

  11. Re:Nintendo: Please PIN protect Data Menu on Wii System Menu 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    You're kidding, right? You're probably the same parent who's going to let their kid play GTA at age 8...

  12. Re:I just bought an 8core Xeon w/64GB RAM on What Does a $16,000+ PC Look Like, Anyway? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hah, talk about illiterate. Pot, kettle, hi! did you miss this part? Another machine will handle AFS and some NFS file services

  13. Re:Why is this news... on RIAA Wants Its $222,000 Verdict Back · · Score: 1

    yet we love the chair-related posts :)

    No... We don't.

  14. Re:a legacy mail system which can no longer fit th on Choosing a Replacement Email System For a University? · · Score: 1

    I think you mistakenly added a "Don't" in there ;)

  15. Re:I havent seen Apple's version on Steve Jobs Patents "The Dock" · · Score: 1

    It is like you are saying that since all software is 1s and 0s, nothing should be patentable.

    Actually....

  16. Re:Another Simple Solution on US House Limits Constituent Emails · · Score: 1

    heh, until someone hacks it a la Palin fiasco

  17. Re:Predictable, Really. on CodeWeavers Package Google Chrome For Linux and Mac · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Mac and Linux users should reject Windows applications and games. If they can't, they should question their OS of choice.

    You're joking right?

  18. Re:New service name - DECE - Internet Technology on RIAA and MPAA Developing Domain-Based DRM · · Score: 1

    hmm, clever ;)

  19. Re:The realm of what shouldn't be... on Apple Declares DRM War On Sneaker Hackers · · Score: 1

    That, too. Why should one motivator trump another?

  20. Re:Shows what competion can do. on IE8 Beta Released To Public · · Score: 5, Informative

    Uh, G00F isn't the only one this "whoosh"ed over. Care to explain?

  22. On the next Prison Break... on Spam King Escapes From Federal Prison · · Score: 5, Funny

    I knew they were hurting for ideas but this is rediculous!

  23. Re:You have remote root? A few ideas :-) on Best Way To Get Back a Stolen Computer? · · Score: 1

    Someone who buys stolen goods is likely NOT an innocent person. I agree they shouldn't be harassed as if they were the actual thief but the OP still reserves the right to mess with them. It is his (or his company's) property, after all.

  24. Re:Linux Liberation Font? on Liberation Fonts Increase Interoperability For Linux Users · · Score: 1

    Are you looking for the Liberation Font for Linux? or maybe you meant the Font for Linux Liberation... Not to be confused with the Peoples' Liberation Front for Linux Fonts!
