  1. Kde 4.0? :) on First KDE 4 Snapshot Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    First Development Snapshot of KDE4 "Krash" released. Before anyone goes ahead and compiles/runs this, please be aware that it will look exactly like KDE 3.5 - except for being broken in lots of places.

  2. Nice on Fedora Project Leader Max Spevack Responds · · Score: 1

    Well, good interview.
    I'm glad he talked about Ubuntu and answered **The question**

  3. Hmm on Our Moon Could Become a Planet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No-one knows if the humans will survive that long, maybe there will be no-one to rename it.

  4. Umm, ya, sure on Study Shows that MMOGs Promote Sociability · · Score: 2, Funny

    Saying that MMOGs Promote Sociability is like saying that playing Counter Strike all day long improves your skills of teamwork, makes you react better, and will let you easily survive if someone attacks you. Gah, we can prove anything, can't we?
    Unless of course, "sociability" is meeting in strange places and buying strange items of a strange game from strange people.

  5. Re:no child needs a cell phone on Kids with Cell Phones, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 1

    640K should be enough for everybody

  6. Re:Even a Bully can evolve on Kids with Cell Phones, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 1

    It's not "goinging to be"
    At leat where I live, it is.

  7. Don't know how 'bout you... on Kids with Cell Phones, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 1

    But I think this is good. Mobile phones agre great for kids.
    As a student myself, I can say that in my country kids get a mobile phone as they are about 10 years old/3-4th grade, usually. They can call their parents, they can send SMS to friends (say, about homework).
    How about teens? Why are some of you think that kids/teens having a mobile phone is stupid? I think it's a good way for parent to contact them if they're out in town, etc.
    Of course, it's OK and very good as long as they understand the price of it. I mean, the bill. For young kids a good solution is "pay-first-the-use-for-what-you-paid" SIM cards, where you pay some sum of money and then you use the phone untill it ends up. That you can refill it

  8. Re:Do you get to choose the 18 months? on YouTube to Offer Every Music Video Ever Created? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    No, it means that YouTube thinks they could do that (get all music videos ever created) in a 18 months

  9. Erm... on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    Well, umm...
    That's unusual...
    But what if we need CAPS LOCK for some reason? (Even tho I don't think I ever really used it for something)
    And, well, removing CAPS LOCK because some 11 years olds use it all the time in IRC is not going to solve it - they can always put they finger on Shift, or maybe stick the bottom side of Shith to the keyboard so it would be pressed all the time...

  10. Wait... on AOL Digs Up Yard for Spam Gold · · Score: 1

    Why would AOL dig the yard seaching for treasure? Couln't they just request to pay money for the damage?

  11. Grammar on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Shouldn't it be "Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans" ?
    Second grade english grammar

  12. Well, on New Version of Mac OS X Leopard Leaked · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, if they gave it out... how could they possibly think that it won't leak? Software, music, movies leak without giving them out. And now, there's the release of an expensive operating system and they give it out...
    I mean, how could they be sure that just signing the document would stop anyone? Sharing music, movies, etc. is illegal, but look at ftp servers, emule, torrents, etc.
    It the Internet, apple, think different!

  13. Hmm on 40 Percent of World of Warcraft Players Addicted · · Score: 1

    I think ~40 % off ALL gamers are addicted

  14. Who is ever gonna buy it? on Is it Time for a Magnetic Floating Bed? · · Score: 1

    Who is ever gonna buy it? I mean, there are beds with water, there are expensive cool beds, there are beds shaped like a racing car or a plane. But how much of you sleep in this kind of bed every night?

  15. This just in on AOL Releases Search Logs of 657,427 Users · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Company calls data posting a mistake.
    Hmm, I wonder if this "sorry" will be enough

  16. Re:One Way on VMWare Announces Version for OS X In Development · · Score: 1

    Somebody IS making that move, maybe it's just not so popular
    http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/

  17. Re:Its not the size of the boat... on An Older, Larger Universe · · Score: 1
    The "what's beyond the edge" question is essentially a pointless question when dealing with space-time. There is no "edge" because nothing can possibly exist outside of the realm of spacetime.

    But if the universe is expanding, that mean there is some empty space for it to do that. So, there's always some empty space as it continues to expand. So, the universe should be a part of some bigger thing, shouldn't it?
  18. Re:Hmm on An Older, Larger Universe · · Score: 1

    But even if it is, there should still be something near it.
    Earth is round, but there's moon next to it
    Earth belogs to the Solar system too
    So the universe itself should be near something too (another universe?) Or is it endless? If so, hwo can that be possible?

  19. Re:why? on An Older, Larger Universe · · Score: 1

    Because people want to know where the heck are they localed and what's around their planet?

  20. Re:Answer Me This on An Older, Larger Universe · · Score: 1

    Well, if we (people on Earth) can't do or explain something (like travelling at the speed of light), we usually call that "the super duper ultimate thing that can't be faster/bigger/better".
    And now, the naming system's got a problem.
    So, in conclusion, travelling faster than light might be (possibly is) possible.

  21. Hmm on An Older, Larger Universe · · Score: 1

    If they know how wide it is, then what's on the corner of it? How does it end?

  22. Is it ready? no. so? on Is Windows Vista Ready? 'No. God, no.' · · Score: 1

    It's not ready, so? Is it anything new about it?
    First thing, it's still beta. And if open source/free software betas are almost 100% usable, that doesn't mean that Windows are like that too.
    The second thing, I don't think they can do so much in such time *personal option*
    Well, we just have to wait and see how it turns out

  23. They finally did this on Software Giants Seek Friends Among Hackers · · Score: 2, Informative
    But they are not the first ones to do this...
    Do you remember Mitnic?
    He offers security consulting services through his company Mitnick Security Consulting, LLC and has co-authored two books on computer security.

  24. Argh... on KDE 3.5.4 Released · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    * 2006-08-02 13:55:29 KDE 3.5.4 Released (Linux,KDE) (rejected)
    Summary:
    * rejected (1)

    Oh well
  25. I don't think that... on Will Pretty PCs Make Vista More Attractive? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I don't think that pretty PCs will make people buy more. It's simple - if someone needs a computer, they will look at RAM, Hard drive, graphics card and other things, not the box itself.
    Besides, most people I know build their own PCs, so it won't affect them.
    One more thing to mention is that PCs are not just _personal_. They are also used in companies, where office buys them for employees. If a computer has a nice colour, would they buy more, than they need?.. I don't think so.
