  1. Re:Two reasons on After 100M IE7 Downloads, Firefox Still Gaining · · Score: 1

    I do have that Microsoft Genuine Advantage thing telling me my Windows isnt legal. But I do get the updates are ready to be installed click here to reboot thing time to time. I thought Microsoft had decided to still give updates due to all the false positives.

  5. good on FUSE Port Brings NTFS Support To OS X · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If there is one thing Ive had trouble with its getting Windows and Mac to talk to each other. External hard drives wont work from one to the other(last I checked), networking isnt possible(last I checked). Ive been forced to use CD-Rs in the past. Hopefully now I can use that external hard drive.

  6. well on Why Your SNES Turned Yellow · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well my SNES is still gray. You would think this would be more prevalent. Ive got a lot of old plastic stuff, some faded, but none change colors.

    Now the 360 will get hacked for sure. Also, arent most Chinese people poor?

  9. mutiple sales on DRM — It's Not Really About Piracy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They want to sell you the DVD version, the PSP version, the special edition, the remastered edition, the directors cut, the laser disc version, the VHS version. Next will be the HD-DVD, and Blueray versions. Followed by the hologram version, err, maybe. If anyone has been most successful at this, its George Lucas, how many of us own more than one version of the first Star Wars trilogy?

  10. hmm on PCI SIG Releases PCIe 2.0 · · Score: 1

    the electromechanical specification is due to be released shortly.

    I hope this means they will release the specification to the public unlike the AGP spec.

  13. so many on CES 2007: Gaming Roundup · · Score: 2, Informative

    Man there are so many expos now. I wonder how hard it would be for me to start one. There is a Holiday Inn near here, they even have a 24/7 Denny's across the street.

    Not including land of course. If this global warming keeps up there will be some more prime real estate. I call dibs on Antarctica.

  17. finally on 3D Printers To Build Houses · · Score: 1

  19. li-ion on Ford Airstream Electric Concept Car · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Dont these cars use lithium ion batteries? Dont li-ion batteries lose capacity rather quickly? How often do you hybrid/electric drivers replace these batteries? How much do they cost?

  20. Re:It isn't whether they can afford them. on New Extended SSL Certs Make Online Debut · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's because sole proprietorships, general partnerships and individuals won't be eligible for the new, stricter security certificates that Microsoft requires to display the color.

    Thats because we all know there is no such thing as a shady corporation with enough money for expensive certifications.

    Like silicon graphics I think transmeta was suing out of desperation. Do they even make processors anymore? I did like their on chip, heat based, random number generator.

    Currency? Are you referring to the fact that money uses the decimal system? Like all of math?

  25. Re:USA: Get over your problem with sex. on Teacher Found Guilty of Endangering Kids Due to Spyware · · Score: 1

    I wasnt trying to argue anything. Just trying to figure out where that person would draw the line, if anywhere. I myself, as something of a libertarian, am not sure where I would draw the line if anywhere, but would err on the side of personal freedom. Anyone think public nudity is speech? Maybe we could give Florida to the exhibitionists. Oh and thanks to whoever modded me troll.
