  1. Re:It's shiny and pretty on Windows 8 Pre RTM Metro UI Leaked · · Score: 1

    Then you can go and set your desktop to disable all effects. I like the Aero desktop look. Now I do not have a choice in getting that in Windows 8.

  2. Re:Great experience with Asus RT-N16 on Ask Slashdot: DD-WRT Upgrade To 802.11n? · · Score: 1

    The RT-N16 requires cooling from below. If you can find some sort of rack that raises it above the surface then it should have no issue with cooling. I put mine on a wire oven rack and it has works fine for many months now.

  3. Re:Also, people are dying on Retailers Respond To HDD Squeeze By Limiting Purchases, Raising Prices · · Score: 1

    300 deaths is bad. But implying that a tech oriented site reporting the economic effect on a piece of technology due to a natural disaster is wrong seems a bit odd to me. We can provide our supports to the people in the disaster area while contemplating how said disaster affect global economy at the same time. We don't need to choose just one.

  4. Re:semi-offtopic question on Android Fork Brings Froyo To 12 Smartphones · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm running CM6 RC3 (haven't updated to release yet) on a N1. The situation with other phone may be different. To test with no carrier, I pulled the SIM out of the phone. A quick test show WIFI works, GPS works (tested via opening up map and see that it has accurate location instead of the location with a radius when it can only do wifi), can access market (although I didn't download or buy anything). GMail and Facebook app works too. That is about all I tried. I cannot guarantee that everything works, but at least the basic stuff should. This is much better than my last phone, where it locks if there isn't a SIM inside.

  5. Localization on Are Game Publishers a Necessary Evil, Or Just Necessary? · · Score: 1

    Didn't see any comment mentioning this, but without publishers willing to localize games, small time game companies would not be able to afford to localize games for different regions. I'm thinking publishers like Atlus and NISA here.

  6. Re:Yep. on Calif. Politican Thinks Blurred Online Maps Would Deter Terrorists · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is quite similar to this, replacing security with blurred map. Reality rarely works out the way people imagine.

  7. One page on Performance Tests Show Early Windows 7 Build Beats Vista · · Score: 1

    This page contains all the test results (including XP test) instead of spreading it to 6 pages. It does not have the specification of the system used or a brief description of each test though.

  8. Re:Dead Herring on Performance Tests Show Early Windows 7 Build Beats Vista · · Score: 5, Informative

    This additional test by the same guy shows that it performs better than XP.

  9. Re:too late on MTV Takes on P2P by Making South Park Free · · Score: 1

    This is getting off topic, but I must dispute this thinking that makes Comedy Network some sort of good guy. According to this, CTV and Comedy Network got exclusive right for Comedy Central programing over electronic format with a deal with Viacom. This is why Canadian users are being redirected to Comedy Network.

    Personally, I stopped watching anything on Comedy Network and Comedy Central once I found out about this.

  10. Re:Tough Love. on Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan Takes A Bow · · Score: 1

    ...when your systems are practically printing money... I don't see why Nintendo needs to improve anything if the current offering is already "printing money."
  11. So, no mix of friends and strangers? on Smash Bros. Online Mode Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Say you know 2 people beside yourself that owns a Wii. Are you then stuck with only 3 players match at most with your friends?

  12. Re:Dueling on E3 Previews — Lego Star Wars Complete Saga and LittleBigPlanet · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What you propose sounds like a reasonable way to solve the blocking problem. But there is another problem I see with sword fighting. If our movement makes a 1:1 translation into a game, doesn't that means in order for me to be good at the game, I actually needs to be good with a sword?

  13. Re:Console Emulators on Vista Games Cracked to Run on XP · · Score: 1

    There is a working DS emulator called no$gba. You need the bios for the DS for it to work though.

  14. Re:why is the demand so high? on Wii Shortages Could Last For Months · · Score: 1

    I have not turn on my Wii for months either. The next game I'm looking at for it is Fire Emblem, and that is basically a GC game on a Wii disk.

  15. Re:aMSN on What is the Best Bug-as-a-Feature? · · Score: 1

    That sounds interesting. Which plug-in is that?

  16. Re:Right... on No Third-party Apps on iPhone Says Jobs · · Score: 1

    Kind of pointless to make video calls without the ability to see the screen.
