  1. Re:Go Yahoo. Hardware is king. on Yahoo Becomes Apache Platinum Sponsor · · Score: 1

    I used Yahoo! for years. Only in the last couple did I switch to Google. The A-One reason being the front page. Thank you very much! ps the reason I used yahoo was the simple fact, back in the day (dunno if this holds true anymore) i used to be able to type in the serial numbers of long forgotten hardware and get back somewhat relevant results. Google I'm sad to say, has failed each and every time I've tried to hunt down old school and obscure hardware. Pretty much the reason I don't bother trying to help people with older computers. I just don't have the resources to track down old drivers, patches, updates, information for old hardware these days.

  2. Not so much, IF... on A Legal Analysis of the Sony BMG Rootkit Debacle · · Score: 1

    If they added an autorun that worked in a restricted mode it wouldn't be to bad. Perhaps a simple hyper linked document type of application, something very specific and limited. As all I seem to recall autorun being good for is launch menus for games to run/install.

  3. Opera. Thanks. But no Thanks. on Opera Tells EU That Microsoft's IE Hurts the Web · · Score: 1

    Now I've tried alot of browsers in my day. Mostly trying to alleviate the need for ever increasing processor and memory requirements, as I was using a Pentium 3 1Ghz coppermine up until very recently... During that time, I fell in love with Firefox, sure, out of the top three (IE, Firefox, Opera) it used to the most memory. With Opera coming in 2nd and IE6 1st. But it was also the most down to earth and straight forward of the three... I just fail to see any appeal in regard to Opera. But then again, at 24 years of age. I'm pretty old and set in my ways... So yeah, let 'em bitch to the EU. It's an issue that should of been addressed years ago. But for the love of god don't try and tell me Opera is a superior browser, or for that matter even a 'good' browser. Because it just isn't...

  6. Nicely put. on Torvalds on Where Linux is Headed in 2008 · · Score: 1

    I agree with much of what was said. However, from my perspective. I believe that a very strong emphasis in laying a robust foundation for gaming should be at the top of everyone's list to see more Linux market penetration...

  8. Re:Rather Free AND Legal! on CNet Promotes Essential Open-Source Software to Joe Public · · Score: 1

    You seem to think that OS software is just the bees knees. Perhaps you should wonder why most people are willing to take the legal risk of using pirated software even after tring and OS alternative? Sorry you're Winblows comments. Well they really piss me off bro. I've become very framiliar with the many faces of the IBM-PC Compatible platform over the years and I have consistently returned to WinNT variations over all other comers, both old and new. The fact of the matter Linux is great for some things. Well sure most things if that's your style. But the fact of the matter is I can't play Civilization on it. 3 or 4. Both kick ass! But you see I'm not a gamer. I just like Civ... and, well FreeCiv sucks goats all day long. Simplify! Elegance! Make it work at all costs! Haha, those are Linux's failings IMHO.

  9. Re:That's the bit that gets me, the console makers on US Senators Take On The ESRB Over Manhunt 2 · · Score: 1

    The problem is the big box stores won't care an AO game. Never mind the fact I bought the unrated version of Requiem For A Dream there. /sigh Sometimes I wonder if we can ever win, or if we ever have? Perhaps this is the way it's always been, and always shall. With the good and wise a mere flicker against a background of darkness and ignorance.

    I want to see you shake your bluetooth enabled car Wouldn't the vibrations traversing through vehicle from contact from the road be unique enough (due to complexity of the automobile no two cars would vibrate the same on any given road) to be used for the 'shaking' if sufficently sensitive equipment is used?

  20. Wireless? on Pimping Out a New House · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'd love to hear your reasons for stating why wireless is better... Other than that you made very good points. But I have made great pains in order to retrofit an older house to accept CAT5. IMO there are no benifets in going wireless. Less speed, less security, higher cost... Honestly what people see in wireless when it comes to home networks I will never understand. Perhaps it is the american way to go the easiest route regardless of the price to their wallets or privacy.

  22. Re:The important part on A New Global Memory Card Standard · · Score: 1

    You know I'm going to have to agree with you on the fact we need to think again. Sure the promise of "one standard to rule them all" is to be taken with a grain of salt, the fact that it's open should definatly make the average /.'r take a 2nd look. Less money to the license could mean more money to other ares, R&D (faster and bigger plz) or perhaps more money to the bottom line. Which could in turn lead to a reduction in prices due to competition. But ya know. I use a 512mb SD card with a USB adapter for my camera and computers. It's all the size I need and it gets the job done. For bigger files I simply use my LAN or DVDR.

  24. Hotmail is Awesome on Users Being Migrated To New Version of Hotmail · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is just more Hotmail Awesomeness IMO, I remember a few weeks ago the account I use for important communications was brought done due to inactivity, they somehow didn't notice I log into Windows Messenger every day... But the icing on the cake was when I logged into an account I rarely if ever use (it's primarily for junk mail, web registrations, etc) was working fine. Hadn't logged into that account in months and it was all there. My main account however lost all archived e-mails and contacts. Awesome. I use gmail now. Don't much care for it's interface, but it's by far more responsive then the new hotmail.

    Actually it is impossible to achieve an exact copy of audio off a CD. I remember reading the details of it years ago on r3mix.net but since then it seems that site has gone in *ahem* other directions. But in short an mp3 even at the best settings is not an exact copy of a song off a CD.
