  1. Re:I'd rather hear about a next gen console on Project Natal Renamed 'Kinect' · · Score: 1

    1st gen elite still kickin! I have gotten red rings but only when I have it in a tight spot with no air flow, then i give it some air and it fires right up no issue. I barely use my PS3 but it still manages to freeze quite often when I do, i see the same problem on my friend's PS3s.

  2. Re:and... on Halo 2 Online Preservation Effort Ends · · Score: 1

    But all the electronics make them more efficient so you save money on water, electricity &/or gas. Sure, it may not be enough to cover the costs of a new one but it's green and you're helping the environment so you should feel good about yourself. What? You want to know the environmental impact of creating all these new replacement appliances? Don't worry your little head about that, just keep buying new shit.

  3. Don't forget the VPN backdoor to CTU on Consumer Webcams With High-Quality Sensors? · · Score: 1

    Once you get this running don't forget to get the mandatory VPN tunnel up between you and CTU. You never know when Jack Bauer will need Chole to pull up your video feeds to find terrorists. Heck, if every Mom & Pop gas station can do this it should be a breeze for you.

  4. Re:Gizmodo May Face Felony Charges on Punishing Security Breaches · · Score: 1

    Gizmodo paid $5000 for it, so they already set the precedence that it is worth more than $950.

  5. Why does everything have to be political? on Cisco's New Router — Trouble For Hollywood · · Score: 1

    This article is sensationalized garbage, it's just a router!! Why do we have to invoke a bunch of MAFIAA BS? I was disappointed in Digg when I saw this on their front page, but I wasn't surprised. When I saw this on Slashdot my jaw literally dropped, have we sunken this low?

  6. Droid touchsceen only sucks with screen protector on Droid Touchscreen Less Accurate Than iPhone's · · Score: 1

    I have the droid and the touchscreen was awesome until I put their surprisingly thick screen protector on. Sensitivity is much worse and sometimes it feels like there are "dead" spots on the screen. I'd prefer a thinner DS style screen protector.

  7. Re:Xenophon and Socrates on AU Senator Calls Scientology a "Criminal Organization" · · Score: 1

    CoS are of course a shill, its not even a very clever shill, their "e-meters" are almost as dumb as the bullet proof pants that the Mormons try and pedal.

    They don't pedal bullet proof "pants". They're sacred garments to remind oneself of their commitment to God. Being committed to God has its advantages in that occasionally he might perform a miracle and deflect some bullets (think pulp fiction), but nobody in the LDS church is claiming those garments will protect you from bodily harm. Sure some LDS members might claim their garment saved them in some way or another but what the really mean is God saved them and by no means are these stories the reasons people wear them. Honestly, i think the main reason they have them is in case you get intimate once the clothes start coming and you see the special underwear you're reminded of your commitments and priorities.

  8. Re:Hmm on AU Senator Calls Scientology a "Criminal Organization" · · Score: 1

    The LDS church doesn't require or mandate anything. They might tell your in order to get into the top heaven (they believe in three) you need to do this or that but that's different than mandating something. You can get ex-communicated if you commit an sacrilegious sin, like desecrating a church or cheating on your wife. Yes, they have yearly "tithing settlements" where you talk to your local Bishop about your tithing for the year. And here is how one of those sessions go: Bishop: "Did you tithe 10% of your income this year?" You: "No" Bishop: "Why not?" You: "Because times are tough and I can barely afford my mortgage." Bishop: "If you pay your 10% first before your bills God will help you find a way." You: "Thanks! i'll take that to heart." Bishop: "See ya next year."
