  1. Re:A story in itself... on January Game Sales Explode, Wii Dominates · · Score: 1

    The PSP Oblivion game, The Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion, is going to be similar in gameplay, but the graphics are going to be scaled back, the setting, and stories are going to be different. It's not a port of the 360/PS3/PC game.

  2. Re:Their system configurator on Pre-Installed Linux Tops Dell Customer Requests · · Score: 5, Funny

    emacs is and excellent OS, it just needs a good text editor.

    Or maybe a clover? ;)

  4. Re:First game is here on Where the PS3 Stands Now · · Score: 1

    VF5's developers have said the game will not feature online play because the it would mess with precise timing of the game's movements. However, it will still have Achievements and Live! awareness that all 360 games are required to have.

    Has anybody else feel their killer instinct slip away?

    Well, maybe if Rare would make a sequel to KI2 we wouldn't have that problem. ;)

  7. Re:Ubiquitous Computing on Where Are Operating Systems Headed? · · Score: 1

    I wonder what runs all of googles boxes then? magic pixies?

    I could have sworn it was hamsters in hamster wheels. But magic pixies could be an improvement, they don't seem to wear out or, you know, die as fast.

  8. Re:Consumer devices on Where Are Operating Systems Headed? · · Score: 1

    Wasn't the whole point of the Apple TV to stream Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Photos from your computer?

  9. Re:Golden Plated Requirements on All Flash iPod Line-up on the Horizon? · · Score: 3, Informative

    But the original 10 Gig ipod was around $700

    The original iPod was 5GB (for $400) with a 10GB ($500) debuting shortly there after.

  10. Re:Windows is harder to use than Linux on Windows Expert Jumps Ship · · Score: 1

    It's not like Apple put an alias for the Documents folder on the desktop either, though granted, there is a link to it on the sidebar of the Finder windows.

    For what it's worth:
    Location of My Documents folder in Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\
    (In Vista "Documents and Settings" simply became "Users")
    Location of Documents folder in OS X: /Users/UserName/Documents

  11. Re:So what on PS3 Oblivion Approaching PC Quality Visuals · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting to see what happens with the console versions of Unreal Tournament 3. Epic has stated that they want XBox 360 and PS3 players to have access to user created content like the PC players will. There could be problems with quality control and picking what will be available to console users. (Also, the fact that the 360's hard drive has, at most, 13GB of free space, doesn't help.)

  12. Re:Thanks, poor-man's 360 on PS3 Oblivion Approaching PC Quality Visuals · · Score: 1

    It's been reported that Bethesda is actually writing game assets to multiple locations on the Blu-Ray disc to make up for its read speed.

  13. Re:iTunes and DRM on Jobs Favors DRM-Free Music Distribution · · Score: 1

    In December, I bought a bunch of used CDs off of Amazon and one of the CDs (Warnings/Promises by Idlewild) turned out to be a "Content Protected" Disc. I was able to rip the Disc using iTunes on my iBook with no noticeable problems with sound quality. Another thing that I did was make a NON-DRMed CD, just in case I need to rip/play it elsewhere. (In OS X, if you open a CD in the Finder and drag the audio tracks to a folder, it will make copies of the original uncompressed files in .aiff format, which can then be burned as a standard audio CD.)

  14. Re:The guy that posted this is a Mother Fudder! on 10 Years of Pushing For Linux — and Giving Up · · Score: 1

    The N Series ships with out an operating system installed. (comes with a copy of Free Dos on Disk)

    Personally, I just hope he doesn't ever go to a toy store and see the Light Brights on the shelf.

  16. Re:Seems Consistent on Professors To Ban Students From Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    For what it's worth, I Encyclopedias weren't considered a valid source for most of my High School papers, either.

  17. Re:Good! on Norway Outlaws iTunes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It makes me wonder though, is the Zune store illegal in Norway too???

    While I wonder the same thing, the Zune store is currently only available in the US.

  18. Re: Not $50 in the hole... on PS3 Price Drop Won't Happen Anytime Soon · · Score: 1

    Sony didn't include HDMI cables with either models. In fact, they didn't include component cables, either. So, if you want to play games in HD or make use of the BluRay player, Component or HDMI cables are a separate purchase.

  19. Re:you should not be ripping on your 360 on Microsoft Increases Limit on XBLA Downloads · · Score: 1

    The product that lets you stream music (along with photos and WMVs) from a Mac to the 360 is Connect 360. It seems to work pretty well and they have a demo version too, though it limits you to, I think, 100 songs.

  22. Re:Everyone uses it on Inside MySpace.com · · Score: 4, Informative

    As an ex-myspacer, I know of the ocular and mental angish caused by some of the pages on myspace. However, greasemonkey and the myspace custome style remover script make using myspace bearable.

  23. Re:Not sure what consoles you are referring to. on Vista Casts A Pall On PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Why not make the game its own boot disk?

    Because then developers would have to include drivers for different video cards, processors, etc instead of writing to a number of APIs.

    The Xenon processor in the XBox 360 is a triple core PPC based chip that's clocked at 3.2Ghz.

    You could always use duct tape. No where in your quote block do you use the words functional or integrated. ;)
