Jim

Sorry But Baby killing is right out..

You don't have to be "Morality Police" to know that shaking a baby is BAD. So when have a baby, make sure that you shake it. Cause Darwin wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Not actually a joke,

Yes you can.. If you have a Volume License MSDN + OS.. You can downgrade to whatever you wish.

Your joke wasn't funny enough.

Obvoiusly...

He fell for apple's Installer sniping. Missed that checkmark on Safari, accidentily installed it. And that URL on there has an IE logo, means IE is default... Great investigative reporting.

Don't think it's possible..

to get 'PlayStation palmar hidradenitis' when playing GOW2 - As the xbox controlers are definately more ergonomic. And GOW2 is exclusive to the 360.

wow. '84...

Looks like it's going to become '09 for you guys. only 25 years off.. I suggest a reprint and a manditory read for everyone again.. I'm thinking if it wasn't turned into an ad campaign for apple, the world would be a better place.

Beta-blocker 'erases' unpleasant memories

Opera sings praises of Microsoft-browser statement

Jim
Flame

Whiny bitches.

They should spend thier money on getting better than FireFox or Chrome, rather than pushing for MS. Else they should get really serious.

No Browsers included with ANY OS.. Just because you can't uninstall IE doesn't mean they should bitch about it.. Let's take it further - Make sure you can not ship a browser with any OS.. Safari - Gone, IE - Gone. KDE has a browser Right? GONE..

Opera preinstalled ? NFW!!!

You can browse the INTERNET on the iphone. Where are the cries for banning the Internet?

Microsoft preps IE 8 for the web-challenged

Jim
Stop

Acid 2 Test...

Apparently they were so jonesd to get the acid 2 test working that they didn't think that most sites wouldn't be so F'd up.

IE8 is FAIL.

I agree...

I am also 100% for the US stop hosting the UN, and to stop paying for the majority of the costs of operating the UN.

who do we kick to get that moving?

PETA cooks up gory game in Cooking Mama protest

Jim

Yeah!

I hope this gets an IP lawsuit. Other than that.. PETA is the reason there are so many accidents involving dear in PA, You can't hunt dear on national lands in the US, because when they schedule a hunt there are PETIDIOTS running around the woods in dear costumes..

What I propose is a national initiative to re-seed the population of Cougar that originally controled the dear population. And then make sure we dress up some of these idiots as dear.

Came out in early 2000 and was in beta in 99. I'd like to see an IP fight..

Too bad they didn't think of this during the lawsuit for IPod battery life.

ITC to probe Wii patent violation claims

Jim
Flame

Wii remote is a Hack!

It's not even a "Pointing Device". If it was, you could actually Aim the litte sucker.. It's all shooting from the hip with the remote. All it has is a camera to watch the IR on the "Sensor" bar, which is nothing more than an emitter. I'm wondering if they have sued Gyration. I'm sure they don't have a pattent on the mouse.

Apple revamps iPod line-up

Wow..

@AdBlock

that would be an interesting Idea. A company that's whole business model is based on showing people adds in a browser, allowing an ad blocking plug-in.

Where's the Serge Brin Devil horned Icon? Closest thing would be Steve, due to webkit.

Microsoft breaks IE8 interoperability promise

Jim
Dead Vulture

Holy crap

Yeah .. Go to the ACID 2 test, Load it, and if you enable "Compatiblity" mode, the the test fails. the "Broken Page" Puts it in IE7 or < mode.

Way to do your research you disreputable hack!

Bon-viveur boffin: Biomimetic bird, bat & bug bots are b*llocks

Jim
Dead Vulture

I would tend to believe...

that's it's the power source, not the motion, that makes the Living versions of these bots so effecient.

Couple hours of flying on some sugar from a flower? Make a bot that can refuel like that, and you'd have a winner!

MS whips lens cap off WorldWide Telescope

Jim
Flame

I'm Curious...

Why are you even bothering to report how bad a Beta is?

MS Betas are horrible, nasty Crap, that I wouldn't put in a ShoeBox!

But come on!! It's like your cronies got around a table and said "Ha Ha Bill Gates talked it up.. Let's trash it!" You're comming off as crybabies.

No Directx 9.0c? No .Net 2.0? Both of thoes have been out for at least 2 years. Somehow I doubt your collective "We" computer came up to the minimum specs..

August 2004 for DirectX 9.0c, January 2006 for .Net 2.0 if you were wondering.

Apple to announce handheld games console at WWDC?

Jim
Jobs Horns

I'm sorry but...

With apple's horrible 3rd party games developer support for OS X for games, this seems unlikely. Maybe that will change. But EA has stated on a number of occations that they have talked to Apple to get better games support into OS X, but so far nothing.

id has always had thier OS X support, though.. Does anyone think that this has to do with the guy that took a day to get Quake 3 Arena on to pair of iPhones for some deathmatch action? And it played well too!

US court waves through border laptop searches

Jim

Passwords...

I believe that passwords are covered under the fifth amendment.. Meaning if your laptop is password protected, you do not need to give up that password.

But that may just be one of the many many amendments that got thrown out the window with the patriot act.

US teen jailed for school's daylight-saving cock-up

Jim

Could he include the U.S. department of energy too?

Because he should sue the bunch of friggan morons that thought it would be a good idea to create y2k because y2k was such a non-event.

Awaiting the unix epoch.
