  1. Re:Not beer on Beer Made Just for Dogs · · Score: 1

    Yes but do any of them have /meat/ flavoring?

  2. Not beer on Beer Made Just for Dogs · · Score: 1

    Non alcoholic, non carbonated?! This isn't beer.

  3. 10^100 Winners on Google Announces Project 10^100 Winners · · Score: 3, Funny

    With 10^100 winners it brings a whole new meaning to 'everyone's a winner!'

  4. Re:Or wait.. on Seagate Launches Hybrid SSD Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Yeah, much is correct. "... would still be cheaper and hold much, much more data at the same time."

  5. Re:I've used it on Does Your PC Really Need a SysRq Button Anymore? · · Score: 1

    My favorite mnemonic is: "aRrrrr, Everything Is Shitty! Un-Boot!" Who says pirates make bad sysadmins?

  6. Re:Impressive on Black Mesa Nearing Completion, Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    No kidding. Judging by the quality of the media released so far, these guys really have what it takes. I am also very impressed with the opening score on their website. If only all games had music this good!

  7. Re:My vote: HP on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 1

    HP Printer drivers are awful. I HATE having to download 100+ MB packages of bloated crapware just so I can extract the archive and grab the 100K printer files so I can install the printer itself.

  8. Re:And we all know how secure REALID is... on California Edges Toward Joining Real ID Revolt · · Score: 1

    This is how Fox News keeps their news 'fair and balanced'. After all, capital letter weigh more and help the words balance.

  9. Re:Repeat something false often enough... on More Mac Vulnerabilities Than Windows In 2007? · · Score: 1

    "IE is mediocre. FF memory leaks. Opera for the win. I wish FF or Opera had native 64-bit though."

    I love Opera, especially 9.5. I can't wait for it to become stable!
    Opera actually does have 64bit versions of Opera for Linux and FreeBSD (9.5 only though).

    See here: http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/842/

  10. Re:the best thing that could happen to Opera on A Preview of Opera 9.5 · · Score: 1
  11. Re:This is a possibility on Flaws In Intel Processors Quietly Patched · · Score: 1

    You are certinaly correct in that, but it seems quite unlikely that there are instructions that no other OS is taking advantage of.

  12. Microcode on Flaws In Intel Processors Quietly Patched · · Score: 5, Informative

    This patch affects the microcode, which are the underlying machine instructions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcode

    How could this not affect Intel Macs? They use the same machine instructions that everyone else does!

  13. Re:I remember when. . . on Why Do Computers Take So Long to Boot Up? · · Score: 1

    Windows CE on my PDA runs such that when you turn it off, it simply goes into low power mode to save the contents of the ram. This is why it can come up instantly with everything you had up when its turned back on. If you do a soft reset, you'll see how long it takes to start from cold (~10 seconds on my PDA).

  14. The major stages of releases on Pirates Promise Improved Version of DaVinci Code · · Score: 1

    Most movie releases do this:

    Cam - poor quality, sketchy audio
    Telesync - better video quality, audio still sketchy
    DVDrip - very good quality audio and video

    Seems this is only a big deal because a reporter heard about it while in China.
