  1. Re:Dear Apple: why? on HP Licenses Apple's iPod & iTMS · · Score: 1

    But hey, I could be wrong, and we could all be getting $99 hPods next December. And we'll all be happy, right?

    hentai pods? I could sure go with that.

    of course if the Germans said halb neun (lit. "half nine"), it would mean 8:30

    but I like LOL granted I never actaully LOL when I LOL, but when I use Trillian, a little kid laughs when ever I type LOL. It's so cute.

  4. video iPod on 101 Ways To Save The Internet · · Score: 1

    I was just thinking the other day, an MP3 player like an iPod or iRiver would be nice. However I download a lot of music videos from P2P and I think they are way cooler than plain old mp3s. A video iPod or somesuch would be ideal. If I don't want to watch the video I can simply listen to the music.

  5. Re:News on High-Tech Firms Worry About Taiwan-China Tensions · · Score: 1

    Why is it an internal Chinese matter?
    Sometimes you need to think of the context. I interpreted "Chinese" to meean the culture and not the country. There is a difference. And why sounldn't it be. The hand over of Hongkong was a UK China matter, and the US didn't but in...why should they in this situation?

    Was it strictly an internal UK matter when the USA became independent?
    Was it strictly an internal Iraqi matter when Kuwait fought to retain their independence?

    I am not American and there for know nothingof American history, so I don't know if the American revolution was strictly a UK situation or not. However the Iraq/Kuwait example and the China/Taiwan situation clearly affect the workings of the global economy and technology.

    (I'm sure there are many more examples)
    So what do you think of the Northern Ireland/UK situation? I have a dear dear ex girlfriend in Belfast and hope she does't get caught in something untoward (although it has gotten better), but I clearly think that is a UK matter.

    hell I had a dual Pentium 200MHz MMX 32MB RAM and Win2k ran fine on that. It boots just as fast my P4 2.06 HT with 1GB RAM running WinXP

    true but you also have to consider the flash point - temperature at which the volatile will ignite. Not only that but methanol burns with an invisible flame.

  8. Kojime riding a Segway on Metal Gear Solid - Behind The Scenes · · Score: 2, Funny

    I knew it!! The Segway is connected in someway. Snake has to find theorigin of the Mretal Gears. In actual fact, the first Metal Gears were Segways, designed to be used as tool around the office, much like the Labors in Patlabor. But then some fool had to play around with a staple gun while riding one.. Others prefered to joust. The military picked up on these antics and the rest is history...

  11. Too big on Project Plex-Box · · Score: 1

    The X-Box jsed to be called the X-barn because of this size. Can I call this the Plex-barn? Perhaps I can go one better and see if I can "case mod" my PS2 into my Xaser III case.

  12. Re:No doubt it has been thought of.. on Bicycle Tech Drivetrain Advances Showcased · · Score: 1

    I don't know but considering most motorcycles use chains as well, that must say something about shafts.

  13. Re:Flawed logic on Orbdev Files US Federal Suit Over Asteroid Claim · · Score: 1

    You know what? I'm more than happy to concede this point on clarity to Nemitz, once he proves that he was the first person to make that claim.


    by person, do you also include extra terrestrials as well? Thed asteroid could be owned by aliens for all we know.

  14. Re:sounds funny... on Orbdev Files US Federal Suit Over Asteroid Claim · · Score: 1

    I do recall a treaty which states that the moon can not be claimed as sovereign property. The same thing is said for Antarctica. And no it is not the Antartica Treaty, that's from Gundam.

  15. Re:Seriously... on U.S. Continues Biological Warfare Research · · Score: 1

    it really depends on the nucleic acid structure of the virus. You have double stranded DNA, single stranded RNA and single stranded DNA. I don't know if there is a double stranded RNA, but the ssDNA and dsRNA (if they exist) are weird shit and they mutuate easily, while the dsDNA and ssRNA are a lot more stable.

  17. Disappointing? on UK Retailers Report Disappointing N-Gage Sales · · Score: 1

    You have to be kidding right? Having no sales would have been as expected. Have any sales would be just plain lucky. Disappointing is not an outcome they should have been expecting at all. I hope these outlets selling the N-Gage are selling them on consignment.

  18. Re:Congratulations! on China Sends First Taikonaut To Space · · Score: 1

    kind of reminds me of a line from Deep Impact or Armageddon...whatever...when they meet up with a Russian cosmonaut at the Mir(?). Then something hardware goes horribly wrong and the cosmonaut says something along the lines of "it doesn't matter American harware, Russian hardware, everything made in Taiwan"

  19. Re:Pretty case? on How a Computer Case Is Built · · Score: 1

    ...unless you get a super deal. I have a Silver Thermaltake XaserIII. Mind you part of the reason I got this case is because I live in Brisbane and it gets HOT HOT HOT. This case is designe to keep everything inside COOL. It looks good, it stays cool, and the sweetest thing about it...when I ordered an XaserIII, I asked for the Blue case which has a steel chassis. Instead the suppliers sent the Silver which is more expensive because of the aluminium chassis, and I got the Silver for the price of the Blue. However because aluminium is not as strong as steel, I have to becareful when I screw my secretary on my box.

  21. my 10 on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    Without a doubt, for an office suite, use OpenOffice.org

    To be honest when it come to web browsing, email and news, I am happy with the Internet Explorer suite

    I am also happy with Media Player as well

    For a popup blocker, I use PopupPopper

    For a download manager, I use LeechGet 2003

    All over system tweaking, X-teq X Setup

    For graphics manipulation, go forGIMP for Win32

    Unfortunatelty the GIMP is not viewer friendly, so as a viewer (even though it is nagware), I like Poylview

    Page defrag I automatically starts up each reboot

    For compression decompression, use UltimateZip

  24. Re:But do they NEED it? on USB 2 Devices Not Necessarily High-Speed · · Score: 5, Informative
    youare way missing the point.

    USB2 IS a protocol, it supports USB1 and USB1.1 protcols


    USB2 IS NOT a specific speed



    So if claims on a mouse says it supports USB2 but only requires the USB1.1 or USB1 protocol to work, that's okay. However if it says it runs at High Speed USB (400mbps) but really only runs at Full Speed USB (12mbps or what ever it is...) then that's false advertising.
