  1. Re:Huh - did it explode in a fireball? on Microsoft Recalls Small Business Server · · Score: 1

    Are you forgetting the exploding laptops?

  2. Re:More likely on Stuart Cohen Predicts Office for Linux · · Score: 1
    digital equivalent of paper. Universally readable

    Isn't that the reasoning behind PDFs?

  3. Re:What some people need... on The Thalamus - The Kernel in Your Mind · · Score: 2, Funny

    They boot fine. It's the BSOD that causes trouble.

  4. On the other hand... on Sony UK Refused P2P Software Patent · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is a neat idea. However, if the MPAA and RIAA got their filthy hands on it they could track p2p downloads. Considering Sony's history of DRM, I'm sceptical of their motives.

  5. Re:Yes, read my CAPSoff blog entry on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    Anything but the beloved Windows key...

  6. Re:Terabyte? on Terabyte Drive to Debut Later this Year · · Score: 1

    Whether it's 73.7 or 99.5 GiB, it's still a good chunk of space.

  7. Terabyte? on Terabyte Drive to Debut Later this Year · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are they referring to a terabyte as 1000 or 1024 gigabytes?

  8. Re:My game will be called... on Microsoft To Enable User-Created Xbox 360 Games · · Score: 2, Funny
    a decent framework from Microsoft

    Therein lies the problem...

  9. Re:Boot Loader problems on First Impressions of Freespire 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Both Grub and Lilo also have issues finding FreeBSD.

  10. Re:dont think so not yet on The Doom of Wired Peripherals · · Score: 1

    They're also terrible for fast-paced games.

  11. Re:Drivers Vs Linux on What's Fedora Up To? Ask the Project Leader · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wifi as well.

  12. Re:Interestingly enough.... on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 1

    Without antivirus software, how do you know you've had less viruses?

  13. Re:sounds like it's doing a pretty good job to me. on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 1

    How often would you have to update the subscription?

  14. Re:A game idea: NSFW on Everybody Loves the Wii · · Score: 1

    There's always Samus...

  15. Re:Liability? on Turning Network Free-Riders' Lives Upside Down · · Score: 1

    It would be like stealing a car and suing the owner for not having good brakes.

  16. Re:Legal? on Hire a Game Coach Online · · Score: 1
    video games are something other than a passtime

    After repeating the same techniques to countless clients, you'd most likely become bored with the game. It's great having a job you enjoy, but having a passtime as a carreer will ultimately lead to a dislike of it.

  17. Re:waste of money on Hire a Game Coach Online · · Score: 1

    Then where would Halo be?

  18. Internet on Hire a Game Coach Online · · Score: 1

    Rather than paying $25 an hour, why not use gamefaqs or other related sites? If nothing else, its more convenient to print off a walkthrough and have it handy for when it is needed.

  19. Re:Not to be overly obvious or anything... on Ripeness Sticker Coming to Supermarket Fruit · · Score: 1

    Also by the neighboring fruit. As they say, if you see a bad apple on top, there's probably more in the pile.

  20. Re:Recreated? BS! on Deja Vu Recreated in a Lab Setting · · Score: 1

    Maybe the "research" is just an elaborate hoax to draw attention away from the matrix...

  21. ABC on TiVo to Measure Ad-Skipping · · Score: 1

    With ABC trying to prevent fast-forwarding through commercials, it seems a bit pointless to keep track how many have been skipped.

  22. Re:Sweet Mother of Potatoes! on 2.5Gb/s Internet For French Homes · · Score: 1

    What kind of modem would be needed to get those speeds? I doubt your average 56k could be pushed that far.

  23. Re:Blue-ray on Nvidia CEO Talks Next-Gen Consoles · · Score: 1
    The floundering of Prince of Persia in the marketplace

    Which Prince of Persia are you referring to?

  24. Blue-ray on Nvidia CEO Talks Next-Gen Consoles · · Score: 4, Insightful
    the inclusion of a Blu-ray player will help the console last for 10 years

    How many consoles have games available ten years after launch?

  25. Re:Archeological dig on A Technical History of Apple's Operating Systems · · Score: 1

    Might be worth quite a bit now if any still work.
