    I've tried both to my xbox. Ok, but the Popcorn Hour NMTs are far easier and don't require transcoding.

    You can stream from your computer.

    But will it stream x264 and/or xvid from the computer? That's the big question for me. The original AppleTV didn't, only Quicktime and MP4 IIRC.

  5. Re:PDF on Your Smartphone Is Safer Than Your PC — For Now · · Score: 2

    Your iPhone needs to be made with finely ground unicorn horns, that means only the 3GS and up. The older models were made with pixie dust embedded in the circuit boards.

    I don't need safety, my phone is magical!

    Whaa? How do the millions of other fat people in the world manage to use cell phones?

    They have all the local restaurants on speed dial.

  12. Re:what's the green shit? on Video Showing Half a Million Asteroid Discoveries · · Score: 1

    Greeh cheese. Remember how the moon is made of it?
    Presumably these asteroids were originally a moon which suffered a cataclysmic event in the distant past.

  13. Re:Sound Mirror on Fun To Be Had With a 10-Foot Satellite Dish? · · Score: 2, Funny


    So may I suggest using the dish for a bit of covert surveillance of neighbours.

    I don't think having a 3M dish pointed directly at your neighbours could be classified as "covert" :)

  14. Re:Solar furnace? on Fun To Be Had With a 10-Foot Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    That would be far past the focal point of the dish.

    Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week. Try the buffet.

    Remember that game The Black Hole? Based on the Disney movie? They had the goatse guy on the cover. I remember starting the game up and thinking "Hey, where are the hands?"

    Maybe I imagined that.

    Ah, that's too bad. I was looking forward to trying out 's/commercial//g'.
    At least you'll still get your basic viewing stats with AWK TV.

  22. "Wahh, I'm a victim! Waahhh!" on NCsoft Sued For Making Lineage II 'Too Addictive' · · Score: 5, Insightful


    US Lineage II player Craig Smallwood is suing the publisher for $3 million because he found himself playing Lineage II for 20,000 hours over a period of 5 years.

    The whole victim-mentality that runs rampant makes my blood boil: "He had bad parenting" "She wasn't potty trained properly" "The breweries make beer taste too good" "I have a disease" blah blah blah fucking excuses blah blah blah.

    Hey Craig Smallwood, take responsibility for your actions; you're not a victim. In actuality your lawsuit paints you as a blatant parasite.

    Ummm, isn't this probably intended for stolen phones?

    That's what I was thinking. I use the 'Find my iPhone' app via MobileMe. The remote passcode change and remote wipe are already in place in that app.
