  1. Re:Cheese whiz on Microsoft Shows Off 'Milo' Virtual Human · · Score: 1

    Well, if they can show me a real video of their current progress and it's as good as or better than the faked video, then I shall applaud them. But until then, I will remain skeptical and distrustful of them.

    Not only is it cheesy (and INCREDIBLY old news), the video in TFA is a fake. Proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFAK8ubYtZE

    Wow. You'd think somebody would've figured out something like this a long time ago.

    I was under the impression that it was the government's job to protect our rights. I guess the joke is on me.

    I liked it too. I found it quite a surprise to see that game on the list. I especially liked the little terminal mini game.

    This just might be the end of the world... of Warcraft.

    AdSweep: http://adsweep.org/ AdBlock+: http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/adblock/ FlashBlock: http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/flashblock/ I actually have been using AdSweep, but I just discovered that there actually is an AdBlock+ for Chrome. I can't seem to find a link for the NoScript equivalent, but I know it's out there. I used to have it. Just use that other Google product to search for it.

    I rarely get high CPU usage with Chrome. I've got 5 tabs open at the moment and the CPU is fluctuating between 0% and 2% occasionally (I've also got a dual core). And while we're on the subject, the whole browser is only using 53mb, including all tabs and extensions, and the browser is still lightning fast. If you aren't already, try moving to the developer channel. The dev channel is almost always lightyears ahead of the stable and beta channels. Unfortunately, the most recent version of AdSweep is not working on the dev channel right now. Luckily I have a backup of an older version of AdSweep that seems to work.

    Because Explorer.exe handles the entire desktop environment, not just a list of files.

    Chrome does a much, much better job with memory handling, and Chrome does in fact have addons that are equivalent to NoScript and AdBlockPlus.

    There's actually several BluRay players that already have Netflix streaming capabilities. http://www.netflix.com/NetflixReadyDevicesList?lnkce=nrd-l&trkid=425738&lnkctr=nrd-l-m

    Those are actually antlion larvae. If you eat those green things it will actually cure any of your ailments and make you feel absolutely terrific.

    This is what I don't understand... I have an 80GB PS3 that can play PS2 games just fine on the latest firmware (2.80), but everyone keeps saying they took out the ability to play PS2 games.

    Why is paying for anti-virus software not illegal? Paying for protection; sounds a little bit like the mafia, huh?
