  1. Re:hmm on Could Doom 3 be a Xbox Exclusive? · · Score: 1

    Here's my take on it. Bad game play can kill a game. If the game play is good, I will tolerate bad graphics. A game with good game play gets bonus points for having outstanding graphics. Graphics are always in the equasion they just arn't nearly as important as game play.

  2. Re:Overclocking a violation of the DMCA on Intel's Anti-Overclocking Technology Simplified · · Score: 1

    Not with their new system. It will evedently get a clock signal from some other source that the BIOS doesn't change, or have it's own clock. If this other clock is running slower than the system clock, then you must be overclocking and it will counteract that.

  5. Re:more info than you probably wanted on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    Just one problem with DuraBrites, they don't stick to glossy unless you buy epson's overprices speacialy made glossy. But on photo quality matte paper, they are beautiful.

  6. Re:Printers, feh! on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    I was going to mod on this article but I feel the need to point this out. HP has always used the last two didgits and a letter (excpet in a few recent cases w/ economy printers). Yes, the C18 was there, but all of the model numbers had it and it was printed smaller. What they did change was from 23A to 23D to match their new numbering scheme where the A carts were actualy full of inc. You might have also noticed the twin paks labeled 23T. Also, if you look at the boxes, the entire model number is still there.

    That's how I read it the first time too. I got confused when the write up mentioned libraries and had to re-read the title.

  8. Re:Inkjet printers suck! on Dell Takes the Low Road Regarding Ink Cartridges · · Score: 1

    hehehe, yes, but have you ever tried to print on glossy paper with it? Most consumers are going to want to be able to print photos.

  9. Re:That's sensational...ism! on Dell Takes the Low Road Regarding Ink Cartridges · · Score: 2, Informative

    The problem is that people like it this way. I work retail, and I try to convince people all the time that the $50 printer is a bad idea and they should spend the $200 for a printer with decently priced cartreges. They complain that $200 is way too much and take the cheap one. Of cource, a month later they are back in complaining about how expencive the cartreges are, but by then it is too late and sombody else is buying a cheap printer.

  10. I hope so on Cell Phone Number Portability Finally A Reality? · · Score: 1

    I sure hope it is a reality considering sprint has already started billing for the expence of changing their system.

  11. Re:AMD Won't... on Intel Patents Anti-Overclocking Technology · · Score: 1

    My thinking is that this will help the overclockers. I mean, a patent must contain a detailed description of what is beeing pattented. An overclocker could then use this information to bypass the anti-overclocking measures.

    I think the problem w/ batman had more to do with the fact that they changed their target audiance and less to do with the change in actors.

  14. Re:I love the Audigy Ex on Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I picked up a MS Gamer voice a while back for real cheap a while back when a store stoped carrying it. I figured at the verry least I would get a good head set (hard to beat a plantronics). As it turns out, I don't plug the device into my USB, but I do use it for a headphone switch and mic mute.

  15. Re:AWE 32 on Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I would be willing to bet all of your problems are caused by the fact that USB is a crapy way to hook up anything that needs contiunous bandwith.

    I kind of like the idea of having maditory blocking software on public computers. I also think that that software should be written by the government and have a public viewable black/white list. We would also have to be able to request the addition or remove of a site from the list.

    Well, the destinction between what you are doing was a little thin, bu tI think the destinction in the kind of store is clear. Its the defference between places like Fry's, and Comp USA that he was refering to first, and the small parts shops that sell the OEM stuff.
