  2. Re:Only PS3 games are likely to benefit on Blu-ray Capacity Increase Via Firmware · · Score: 1

    Alternatively, Sony can put a seperate DVD track on the discs (similar to the way that Sega put the CD track on GD-ROMs for it's Dreamcast system) to make them readable on all PS3's, and then just stick the firmware update on there.

  3. Re:What about ... on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 2, Informative

  18. Re:Thanks, washington on US No Longer the World's Internet Hub · · Score: 1

    Thanks, Washington. Between the patriot act and the DMCA, you've managed to legislate one of the few booming industries we had out of the country.

    Used to be, there were four things we did better than anyone else: music movies microcode high-speed pizza delivery

    You're really trying to cross things off that list as fast as you can, aren't you?

    Yeah seriously- nowadays, the music sucks, movies suck, and our microcode sucks too. The only thing left on that list is high-speed pizza delivery, and with gas prices getting higher and higher, I doubt that it has long to live

  19. Re:linux sucks on If Linux Fails, Blame Jim Zemlin · · Score: 1

    That makes Linux better than your girlfriend.

  21. it's about time on Violent Video Gaming Comes To the Wii · · Score: 1

    I honestly don't give a rats ass at how violent it is. This game actually looks fun. It's been a long time since Sega's come out with a decent game

  22. Sega Dreamcast was, and still is amazing on The Evolution of Sega · · Score: 1

    I still own my Sega Dreamcast that I got in 2002 (I got it when Toys R us was selling it for $50, trying to make room for the ps2).
    It is an amazing game console, with some really great games (Sonic Adventure 2, Soul Calibur, Jet set radio, Marvel v.s. Capcom 2, Crazy Taxi, etc.). I literally cried when I heard that Sega would stop making games for it soon after I bought the thing.

  23. I'm a 17 year old coder on Why COBOL Could Come Back · · Score: 1

    well, more like script-kiddie, but w/e
    I've been thinking about picking up COBOL, partially for the challenge (it seems to be much harder to use than more modern languages, like C and Pascal), and partially for the potential jobs.
    Think about it- most state computers require COBOL, and lets face it, the few COBOL programmers out there are getting old awfully fast. I think this is an excellent time to learn the language and land a pretty decent job with the gov't.

  24. Saw the video on Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser · · Score: 1

    It was basically copy+pasting, except instead of 2 seconds it took 5 minutes.

  25. Concert sales on Study Suggests Music Industry Embrace Piracy · · Score: 1

    A recent study of the recent Radiohead album release found that huge numbers of illegal downloads actually helped the band's popularity and, by extension, concert ticket sales.

    Concert sales = more money for band
    Record sales = more money for big companies

    Guess which one is more important to the music industry?
