  2. Re:Why bother? on Vista Can Run Without Activation for a Year · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Dual booting is not practical and doesnt solve the actual problem. There is a BIG drive for high speed graphics in virtual machines going on, this year and next year it will become more feasable to run games in virtual machines instaed of this dual booting gynmastics. I would prefer that they got developers signed up to target the Mac for game engines and have it done with.

  3. Re:Why bother? on Vista Can Run Without Activation for a Year · · Score: 1

    Better yet, why not give a Mac a try? If gaming took off seriously on the Mac then there is no reason at all to have Windows in the home. Period. OpenGL would be back in vogue, and a real competitor to DirectX. I for one would welcome Mac gaming if it was a serious contender.

    "car car" yes yes I I know know.

  8. Viacom on Viacom vs. YouTube - Whose Side Are You On? · · Score: 1

    Google was asked to take them down, they didnt, now they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. If Viacom win this, this is just 1 billion, then watch the other media companies follow suit, GOOG stock is going to plumet when that happens and thus their market capital. Viacom has licensed their content to Joost, and thus they need to protect that agreement and their licenses. If google cannot manage their service, perhaps they shouldnt be in that market? It is rather arrogant if Google and fanbase just think they can get away with it. What is their defence? Purchasing power wont work with Viacom now. They kindly asked Google to comply, now they bring out a bigger bat to play ball. "Im sorry your honour, thats not my stolen car car in the garage that I was polishing and waxing then locked the doors".

    He is thinking that ports are like TV channels but what we do need is an .xxx domain and domains ENFORCED properely which is why the internet is in the mess it is. Domain usage is not used correctly as it was intended.

    Why would Tom Perkins takes her to the cleaners? Let her clean her own stuff.

  15. Its not just music needs regulation on EU Commissioner Slams Music Lock-In · · Score: 1

    The PC games industry also needs regulation for its DRM, its not on the packaging, its not in the advertisements, its intrusive and doesnt work and you are up shit creek without a paddle in most cases and have to resort to nocd cracks. I wish the games industry is also regulated as self regulation is ineffective.

  16. Joost on Viacom Sues Google Over YouTube for $1 Billion · · Score: 0, Troll

    Viacom has signed a big deal with www.joost.com , YouTube is for amateurs, H.264 is where the content is, not On2's VP codecs and flash. Joost is going to be HUGE.

  21. Digital TV on TV Airwaves To Deliver Internet? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is the very reason why Analogue TV is being cut and the change over to Digital to free up badly needed spectrum for such rich services.

  22. Re:FTFA on Intel Viiv vs. AMD LIVE! · · Score: 1

    Capicators all come from the same place, remember the fiasco with leaky caps, these where in top end overpriced high spec boards aswell as the budget ones. Just because you get a so called top notch brand doesnt mean you get top notch components as they will ALWYAS keep reducing their BOM's (Bill Of Materials) by any means possible. You are paying for a BRAND just like your clothing, just like your razor blades, just like your hair products. All those fancy brands you pay 10x for in the fanshion stores, all come from the same factories, I have seen the SAME clothes with different labels, from the same factory. Wildly different prices. The same goes for tech.

  23. Re:Great! on Patent Filed for Underwater GPS · · Score: 1

    Noiser than the surrounding sea? I would have thought they would listen more for the black hole of SILENCE/REDUCED NOISE against the noisey sea due to them being TOO QUIET.

    So why do we pay to be VIEWERS of this advertising? Shouldnt it be free to viewers and paid for advertisers then? That way they would get more eyeballs.
