    More grows, even if cut soon after. Such is the nature of hair.

    If they're seven floors up, maybe just an umbrella or parasol would work. They might need a lining or something.

  5. Re:Sidesplitting on The Advantages of Upgrading From Vista To XP · · Score: 1

    If XP came out today and its requirements were scaled by the same amount my machine has scaled in that interval, it would use 1.75GB ram when browsing the web after booting, take 25GB of HD space on a fresh install and require a 1GHz CPU.

    I would be complaining about the lack of backward compatibility with vista's apps, how unstable XP is compared to Vista SP3, running as root and missing security such as UAC and firewall. With these gone who knows what's going behind your back!

    I'd also complain about the crappy fisher price colour scheme and how they rearranged the control panel. And that searching is too slow and you can't just search the entire start menu any more.

    At a stretch, I'd also mention that the default browser doesn't even have tabs, that explorer is also the browser like it was during the annoying IE4/win98 period. And it's missing mahjong, one of my favourite default games.

    XP's sounds are too loud and in your face, and I can't control the volume of individual apps any more, like I would so that skype can't deafen me when I'm playing videos. So now I can't even hear anyone's retort. What? WHAT? LALALA! ;-p

    Well I found that funny, in a pretty cheeky kind of way.

  8. Well this sounds like a serious problem on Nano Safety Worries Scientists More Than Public · · Score: 1

    Well this sounds like a serious problem, because the public are actually more of a threat to scientists than any nano-tecnology whatnot.

    Yeah, how else would we know that RealPlayer media player isn't a theatre programme or twelve-step programme installed on tens of millions of windows computers worldwide?

  10. Re:How much of a market is there for Linux games? on Is id Abandoning Linux? · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for a few things to go away, namely when video drivers just don't seem to work, (which seems to suggest I buy ATI next time), and that thing when something breaks and I find forum posts saying to correct a file to look a particular way, and then find that my file is already correct by the forum post but the problem still remains.

    But I get the feeling that for that to happen linux would have to become more fault tolerant and that's when strange annoying things start to happen.

    Yes. The order forbids speaking of the one-button mouse, even as an example of good and bad designs throughout Apple's history.

  12. Re:Did you see the "Connection"? on Gadgets Have Taken Over For Our Brains · · Score: 1

    I'm the generation that constantly got interrupted by elders' long narratives. I consider myself a man of few but well chosen words.

  15. Re:phone-fu on Haptics Technology Turns Phones into Weapons · · Score: 1

    The ridiculous thing about all this for me is that I've been waiting for something like this on gamepads and joysticks. I want to feel recoil and impacts instead of that strange vibration which doesn't really match what goes on in-game. Head-on collision in GTA -> 1 second vibration... wtf? Needless to say I currently don't use the feature on existing controllers.
