  3. Re:Planned Breakage... on iFixit Moves Into Console Repair · · Score: 1

    Not true! This drive was run over by a car and the chip (containing the only copy of someones PHD thesis) was broken off. It was later soldered back on ad the data was successfully removed. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3417/4566207262_201cbabeaf_b.jpg

  4. Re:I don't blame them. I ditched the industry too. on More Devs Going Indie, To Gamers' Benefit · · Score: 1

    Astronaut isn't a fair comparison, I'm pretty sure that most of the people doing that aren't in it for the money, but that's just my two cents.

  5. Idiots on Where Does IT Fall Within Your Organization? · · Score: 5, Funny

    In my organization, it essentially stands for "Incompetent Technician"

  7. Re:Can someone answer a few questions for me? on Emulation Explosion On the PS3 Via Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    1. So, has anyone here tried using something like VLC or Mplayer to play h.264 and Xvid? Is playback smooth? Does it use Xv?

    When I tried it 10 months ago, it wasn't smooth at all. Xvid was good, though.

    Does the hypervisor restrict access to usb? Ie, will other devices such as an external hard drive and a tuner card work?

    No, it doesn't. External USB drives should work fine, as should your tuner card if you have the driver

  8. Re:Tag this story on CRTC Rules Bell Can Squeeze Downloads · · Score: 1

    This is exactly what I did a month ago, and it ended up saving me 10$ and giving me more services

  9. Re:Where oh where? on Spider Missing After Trip To Space Station · · Score: 1

    Clearly it followed that statistic of how many spiders you eat in a lifetime, so a search of the astronauts digestive track would be more effective.

    Try touching your car with the flat of your hand instead of your finger tips.

  13. Re:Contact your Universities Placement office on Getting Hired As an Entry-Level Programmer? · · Score: 1

    It isn't free for job postings in a number of cities - from the craigslist fact sheet: Q: How much are job ads? A: $25 in Chicago, NYC, LA, DC, Boston, Portland, Sacramento, Seattle, and San Diego, and $75 in SF.

  14. Re:250GB? Boo Hoo. on The Facts & Fiction of Bandwidth Caps · · Score: 1

    In Canada there is only Bell and Rogers, a duopoly, so there is not much choice. I hope the CRTC rips them all a new one and soon.

    That is not quite true. There is smaller ISPs, like Teksavvy, that while they piggyback on Bells infrastructure, are considerably better than Bell. I just got teksavvy in the hosue I'm in now, and we have a 200 GB cap on a 5 Mbit DSL connection, and it only costs 30$ a month. Can't beat that in terms of price, speed or cap from Bell, and you can get their service anywhere that you can get Bell DSL

  15. Re:Serious issue! on What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers? · · Score: 1

    But this is only good if your device can be charged by USB

  16. Re:Cheesy Joke Thread, and life on Saturn on Liquid Lakes On Saturn's Moon Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Obviously they would be ethane based cells.

  17. Re:well duh on Dial-Up Users "Don't Want Broadband" · · Score: 1

    So yeah, dumb people have dialup so naturally dumb people wouldn't want broadband cuz dialup works just fine *rolls eyes*

    What's the saying? If it ain't broke, don't fix it? Why pay extra if all you use it for is occasionally checking email. My parents have dialup at home, but both have broadband at work - anything they need "fast" internet for, they do at work.
