  1. Re:Let me get this straight... on Desktop As a Cellphone Extension? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Another problem, Google Voice isn't open to the public yet.

  2. Re:No on Pixar's Next Three Films Will Be Sequels · · Score: 3, Informative

    I really don't think we have anything to worry about. In my opinion Pixar has never made a bad movie, why would they start now? The upcoming sequels are sequels to some of their most popular franchises, and judging by Toy Story 2, Pixar knows how to do sequels.

    -switches to AT&T-

  4. I WIN! on HP Recalls 70,000 Laptop Batteries · · Score: 1

    Of course my laptop battery is affected by the recall, who here thinks I should send it in, or just keep it.

  5. Re:Adult Gaming? Hah! on On the Advent of Controversial Video Games · · Score: 1

    The problem that I see is that literature has almost always been recognized as a sophisticated form of entertainment and a proper way to convey deep messages. When video games first started to become popular, they were marketed towards kids, and games such as Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros.(No matter how unbelievably awesome those titles may be) haven't helped to change the general populous' opinion on video games. It's kind of hard to portray the human status through 8-bit. Now that graphics and the overall detail of video games are improving, publishers can use games to portray the same messages as books can. Even though video games are becoming mediums close to being on-par with books for conveying messages, they are still portrayed by the public to still be "juvenile self-indulgence". It also doesn't help that even M rated games are marketed to 12-18 year olds. I think I've said enough.

  6. Re:I tried to access the floppy drive on What Did You Do First With Linux? · · Score: 1

    You are so so right, I recently installed Ubuntu on my Vista machine. I still have to go back to Vista just for MS Office. Sad, I know.

  7. Re:Let me be the first to ask.... on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Now In Beta · · Score: 1

    Wrong again! It's western Kansas that's a myth.
