    AOL own a lot of websites. For example, AOL owns the blogs Engadget and Joystiq which are both quite popular.

    I just wish there was a good web search that I could use to find replacements.

    Let me see if I can think of an alternative search engine..............

    Bingo! I've got it!!!

    Have you heard of AltaVista? I hear its a groovy search engine that works in a far-out happening way. All the cool kids are using it.

  4. No need for it on VLC Team Announces Video Editor In the Works · · Score: 2, Informative

    VLC for Mac death is "greatly exaggerated" / What is Lunettes?

    VLC for Mac is being maintained. However the old Cocoa graphical interface of VLC, is not being maintained at this time.

    The reason is that we are in the process of rewriting a new interface for VLC. Its codename is Lunettes.

    Why a rewrite? This is something really easy to see. VLC for Mac is just not "Mac" enough.

    Taken from here.

    I agree, top posting is awful.

    Email provides a linear conversation at least.

    Clearly you interact with people who know that top-posting is evil and have no urge to reply to each email before reading the following responses that have been sitting in their inbox for 3 days.

    I envy you.

    That site is fake, apparently.

    Yesterday we were all freaking out over the announcement of Project Needlemouse, a codenamed game that promised to be a brand new 2D Sonic the Hedgehog due for release in 2010. Don't worry, the game itself and the trailer we posted is genuine. However, a Project Needlemouse site featuring Green Hill-esque artwork has been confirmed as false.

  8. Re:Finally, a Linux for the rest of us! on Hanna Montana Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    I know!!!!! I mean, can you BELIEVE that Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana are the same person????? I mean, seriously she looks like soooooooooooo different with that wig on!!!!! I was like "no way" at first when I first like watched it but now I'm kinda used to the idea or something. My only hope is that this like version of Linux or something is as existential as the Hannah Montana show. I wonder if there are two sides to this linux, like OH MY GOD it wears a wig at night so your using Hannah Montana linux and by day your using Miley Stewart Linux. That would be like sooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!

    P.S. If your reading this Miley, I love you XoXoXoooXOXOXoOOXoXOXo

    P.P.S. What is linux?

  9. Re:Will get over it. on Heavy Rain, BioShock 2 Delayed · · Score: 4, Informative

    Bioshock had no replay value as both choices you could have made led to exactly the same ending.

    Thats not true. The game has three endings that are determined by if you rescue the little sisters or harvest them.

    Overall, I think it was a good game but we all have different tastes.

  10. Re:Who cares? on One Year Later, "Dead" XP Still Going Strong · · Score: 2, Funny

    and a couple people will slurp up the Jobs flavored Kool-Aid

    Where can I buy this Jobs flavoured kool-aid? I'm so glad all these big tech companies are investing in the flavoured beverage market. Why, I'm sitting here enjoying a cold glass of Google Gulp as I type this. They really should make an MS-branded kool-aid beverage though, as long as its not Ballmer flavoured which would probably taste like armpit sweat.

    I just looked at the sites registration details and it looks even more sus. Microsoft and Asus register a domain name with godaddy to an individual and not a company?

    I agree with you, I think its bullshit.

    So, how long do you think it'll be before decedents of these 'somehow' hit the exotic pet trade.

    I'm sure it will only be a matter of weeks before vendors start selling glowing monkeys to drug-fucked people at raves/clubs.

  15. The death of Last.fm? on Last.fm User Data Was Sent To RIAA By CBS · · Score: 5, Interesting
    If this does turn out to be true, who is going to use their service ever again? Even if someone doesn't have any pirated music on their computer, who wants their music collection data sent to the RIAA? What about legitimate purchased songs being flagged as being pirated?

    I guess one could simple turn off scrobbling, but that is one of the main features of the service.

  16. I like vista on US Army Will Upgrade To Windows Vista · · Score: 5, Interesting
    There, I said it. And I'm probably going to lose karma for this post as everyone seems to hate vista here but oh well.

    I know there are going to be dozens (if not hundreds) of vista jokes about this article but I still don't know why everyone hates vista so much.

    This is going to sound really weird, and I am not making this up. I'm a Linux user (kubuntu at the moment, used to use slackware and I'm thinking of installing fedora) and I have an old mac that I use regularly too. I wasn't too fond of XP, and I'm not a huge fan of microsoft either because of their dirty business tactics. I got Vista (with sp1) cheap because I'm a uni student. The first thing I did before buying Vista was to make sure that all the parts I had were compatible, and luckily they were as I only just built the computer. Anyway, so I installed vista expecting there to be a million problems, I had a preconceived negative opinion of vista and I was actually quite surprised. Its stable, fast (on my computer, at least) and I'm quite enjoying using it.

    However, I never used Vista before SP1 and I didn't have the driver problems. And I guess because I don't use XP that I wasn't missing any of XP's features.

    Anyway, I guess my experience isn't the usual experience. Sure, I'm not going to make Vista my main machine (I love kubuntu and os x too much to do that :)) but I don't regret installing Vista.

  17. Great Idea! on Texas Makes Zombie Fire Ants · · Score: 1, Redundant
    It worked great for us with the introduction of cane toads.

  20. Can't these problems be easily solved? on Apple May Loosen Restrictions With iPhone 3.0 · · Score: 1
    Obviously mobile phones are becoming more advanced and have more features these days and we want to be able to use them with the same kind of freedom we get with a desktop. Wouldn't the solution be to have an appstore with all the censorship crap and "protection" and also allow users to install whatever the hell they want on their phone via their own means? Wouldn't that appease pretty much everyone? Oh wait, this is about control over what one can do with their own phone that they purchased, such as limiting tethering and VoIP and anything that the phone companies do not want, I totally forgot.

    And no, I don't hate apple (typing this on my mac) and I'm thinking of getting an iphone but this crap is really starting to piss me off. I don't want to buy a phone thats locked down so badly that I can't do what I want with it without jailbreaking it. Its ridiculous.

    I'm getting sick of playing game adaptation because of the inaccuracies. It can totally ruin the gaming experience. I was quite disgusted with the inaccuracies in this game. It has left a sour taste in my mouth. I don't think I will play a movie adaptation again.

    The article didn't mention of any space based proposals. I've seen a group argue for a large "solar umbrella" to be placed at the Earth-Sun L1 lagrange point.

    I am quite sure that Ms. Fenty originally proposed such a theory with her Umbrella thesis.
