    Well you can add another person out of the 13 that is from St Kitts

    I believe you would get your ass kicked for saying that to someone.

  3. Booth Babes on E3 Renamed Entertainment for All Expo · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why does "family-friendly" sound to me like "no half-naked booth babes". That was one of the main reasons to go to E3

  4. Re:Not abuse of power on Luxpro Sues Apple for Damages and 'Power Abuse' · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about! They are soooo dissimilar! Look at the buttons! The one on the Luxpro has little ridges on them, not just flat buttons like the iPod!

  7. Re:Useless on Wii's Opera Browser Now Downloadable · · Score: 1

    It is not like Nintendo is actually wasting dev time on it, it is being made by Opera, all Nintendo is doing is hosting it (AFAIK)

    I meant during the swing...

    Wasn't the hole found about a year ago now?

    OK... but at the end of said Baseball/tennis/golf swing do you normally let go of your bat/racket/club? I think NOT!

  13. Re:Offline MSN messages? on A First Look At Gaim 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Just some more information: I asked in IRC about this today and was told that they are in the process of implementing the new MSN protocol which will allow the offline messages, invisible messaging and the "personal messages" to be displayed. I was told that it is almost fully coded out, and they are bug testing it now and it should be released soon after 2.0 goes live.

  14. Re:Offline MSN messages? on A First Look At Gaim 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I have just checked that and no, it does not... which is the main reason I am not switching to GAIM. I love GAIM, but I also find this extremely useful. And even though there is a drastic difference in footprint (MSN has 40,000K v GAIM's 8,000K), I think I use that feature too often to be without it.

  16. Re:from the article, price list on Windows Vista Prices and Release Date Leaked · · Score: 1

    ...not that much lower, the USD is doing horrible for the last while and is only ~1.10CAD (to buy) and ~1.05 (to sell). And a lot of places (on both sides of the border) are no longer giving exchange rates for purchases in the other denomination.

  17. Re:'Beta'? Not really... on A Look at Debian Etch Beta 3 · · Score: 1

    Although I agree it is not a Beta in the normal sense (more in the Google sense) the reason it is getting called this is because Debian themselves are calling it that, just look here

  19. Re:Perspectives on Evolution No Longer Worth Learning, Says Government · · Score: 1

    Well, if God didn't want me to study science and for science to discover new things then he wouldn't allow it to happen... right? So since it is allowed to continue that either means God doesn't exist, or he doesn't care/wants us to study science and find out more about the world.

  22. Re:False again ;-) on Stuart Cohen Predicts Office for Linux · · Score: 1

    Hmm, and I thought when I opened an ODF in OOo it worked and allowed me to Edit it just fine...

    Can you point me to some free PDF-Editors that are good, I have found a few, but they are crap.

  23. Re:PDF is editable on Stuart Cohen Predicts Office for Linux · · Score: 1

    Thank you for proving my point... yes anything is technically editable, I could copy-paste the text from the PDF, or pirate/buy expensive software, but with ODF it is built into the program you are viewing it with... people like ease of use, well the average normal person does anyway.

    And to the average user Adobe is synonomous (Sp?) with PDF which is also known to that average person as "a piece of junk that slows my computer to a fucking crawl" because they only know to use Adobe because if you don't have it to read a PDF you are told to go get the reader with a link to the Adobe Site. (Note: I am talking about the masses here that are probably on Windows and do not know nor do they care that there are viable alternatives)

  24. Re:More likely on Stuart Cohen Predicts Office for Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, but ODFs will allow editing, unlike native PDFs
