  1. Re:Inkjet? on Tom's Hardware Benchmarks Inkjet Printer Paper · · Score: 1

    For occasional printing, you are far better buying a color laser. Inkjets will dry out if they aren't used often enough, and toner never dries out.

    I picked up a Brother color laser printer with wireless and wired network for $300 around the Christmas deals, so they really aren't that expensive anymore. Laser printers can also be refilled without the manufacturer giving you shit...

  3. Re:whoa on Finnish Record Labels Want To Block Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    What is the band name? In Baltimore, they actually have a venue that does weekly shows on Monday night, and the most popular band each night makes it onto the local radio station (www.98online.com) and they even run contests where the outcome is a recording deal (not distribution deal), but I am unsure how often that happens.

  4. Re:Way to go...not! on DNS Heavyweights Raise Concern Over DNS Filtering · · Score: 1

    What is the problem? The problem is that companies want to use Chinese laws but have a .com domain. .com is a US TLD, so it falls under the laws of the US. If you want to sell counterfeit products in China, or fake drugs in Canada, than get a TLD from one of those countries, than the US laws can't touch you. I don't agree with this law, but it isn't like it matters for any other country's TLD, just the US TLDs.

  5. Re:Move offshore on DNS Heavyweights Raise Concern Over DNS Filtering · · Score: 1

    How do you go about moving the root DNS servers for .com, .net, .org? As they are TLDs for the US, and for whatever reason, everyone uses them anyways, you will still have this issue. If you want to live by the rules for Russia, than use a .ru domain, and you won't have to be effected by the laws in the US.

    When you cut out all the political grandstanding in that quote, it kind of shocks me how well he understands the issue. Maybe the *IAAs forgot to pay him off last election season?

  7. Re:Same scale as the Chernobyl on Fukushima To Become Nuclear Dump? · · Score: 1

    Here is your choice:

    1. preemptively evacuate people just in case something goes ungodly wrong and the reactor blows up
    2. being the asshole who gets 10s of thousands of people killed because you didn't evacuate the immediate area when you had the chance.

    What you are saying is akin to the opposite that happened in New Orleans during Katrina. Why didn't they evacuate sooner on the off chance that the levies wouldn't hold? Please stop being nieve and repeating the same dump comments as the media.

  8. Re:Was it really worth it, Sony? on Sony Suffers Yet More Security Breaches · · Score: 1

    Samsung TVs are wonderful products (and the TV does not posses Samsung, it is a plural which doesn't require an apostrophe) I am not sure what TVs you would be talking about that suck. I also have a Samsung Blu Ray player and have never had a complaint, except that I bought one that is missing features I would have liked to have, such as, Netflix, Pandora, WiFi, but it was cheap.

    Many Windows apps do however. Word and IE both handle a reboot just fine, but I think notepad is just too old to handle it.

  15. Re:ISP:s at fault on IPv6 Traffic Volumes Are Low, But Nobody Knows How Low · · Score: 1

    To reply to all your sillyness below. That 10 Gb cable you are talking about only reaches in the 10s of feet, DSL runs over miles of wire, at these distances, coaxial is king. The standard phone cables will start having noise and crosstalk over around 100 ft, while coax will not. If standard phone cable included a shield however, it would be able to push much more data than coaxial cable due to the increase in the number of conductors it can use.

    Young people grew up with Google, how hard is it to type into almighty Google "set alarm iPhone". As a support tech, I see this every day, people don't think to type error messages into Google, that just couldn't possibly work. Whereas the younger generation grew up with Google, the older generation would use communication to find things out.

    Agreed. Do the matrix scenes in 3D, and do the non matrix scenes in 3D with no depth. This would make it an interesting watch as it would be more true to the material (at least to me). God, I need to reread that one again, it was pretty amazing even as recent as 2002.
