  1. Re:DSLExtreme on Best Buy Acquires SpeakEasy · · Score: 1

    Another satisfied DSLExtreme customer. I have a 6.0mbps/768k line out to NY via Covad. I actually ordered a 1 static IP plan, but apparently Covad gave me a /29 anyways. Uptime has been sweet, even though I'm at the fringe of the range for 6.0mbps. They have no problems with servers and no port blocking. I went with them previously because their plans were cheaper than Speakeasy.

    "Sentencing guidelines call for a prison term of 70-87

    Hehe. The F and the I stick together when not bolded, causing them to look like an A. I'll leave the rest to you :)

  4. Re:4 bad signs regarding this movie on Fantastic Four Teaser Trailer · · Score: 1

    They filmed some scenes in New York. In fact, they filmed a scene 2 blocks away from my house in Brooklyn. Something with a bar under the elevated subway.

  5. ATA RAID 1200A on Mirroring Controllers - What have been Your Experiences? · · Score: 1

    The Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A uses the HPT370 chipset so its basically just a HighPoint card.

    Don't almost all browsers use plug-ins? This could be bad for Mozilla as well.

    Well he has to report it to the police somehow.... After that, its pretty simple.

  8. Re:Music Store only available in the U.S. on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1

    It requires a U.S Credit Card with a U.S Billing Address. You can look all you want if you are outside U.S, but you can't buy anything.

  9. Re:Anti-aircraft fire & F-117 Stealth detectio on Updates on War in Iraq · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing the cruise missiles they launched along with it. Cruise Missiles are detectable by radar and that may have started the AAA barrage.

    If only this game doesn't come with every spyware software in existance! All my friends have this game, and they wonder why their computer runs like crap after installation. Thank you Ad-Aware.

    Mod-chips allow unsigned programs capable of loading altered games with hacks. Hasn't been done yet, but possible.

  15. Re:loss-leaders on Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't think their intention is really to prevent loss-leaders. The loss-leaders are going to be sold regardless of if FatWallet members know or not. I think they are trying to prevent what many FatWalleter's (including myself) did last year. Last year, BestBuy ads were leaked ahead of time. Many went out and bought the items listed on the pages and came back on the day of the sale and price-matched to get the money back. That way they avoided standing on a long line early in the morning but the problem is, it depleted the stock of the sale items and people who were standing on the line weren't all too happy.

  16. Re:copyright? on Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info · · Score: 1

    Advertisments such as sales tend to be printed well in advance of the distribution date. All it takes is one printer to copy down the information and then its leaked.

    I doubt they are worried about competitors knowing the sale prices ahead of time. Spies abound, and with the low pay of retail employees, I highly doubt that sales information is as secure as you think it is.

  17. Happened at DVDTalk too on Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info · · Score: 4, Informative

    Locked DVD Talk Black Friday Thread

    In this case Target was the company that sent the DMCA notice and the thread was shut down im ediately.

    Oddly enough, I bought a Micron DDR RAM chip from BestBuy the other day and it contain of all things Samsung modules. I thought it was rather odd.

  22. Re:Other Inaccuracies I Remember *spoilers* on Review: Black Hawk Down · · Score: 1

    How about the ending? (the part where they are returning to the stadium) I'm pretty sure THAT didn't happen.

    That and the incident w/ Blackburn missing the rope. I'm not sure but I don't think it had anything to do with an RPG.

  23. Re:Wiht @Home in Doubt on VP3, Open Source Video at 200kbs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your comparison is incorrect. DivX at 800 megs for 90-100 minutes entails using a high bitrate. The only application that would require such high bitrates is high quality video. A better comparison would be to use DivX at the 200kbps and the new one at 200kbps and compare the results.

  24. Re:The Israeli Intelligence Version on US Starts Attacking Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    China is not on friendly terms with Muslim extremists. China has had problem with extremists friendly to the Taliban in the Xinjang province of western China. China is apparently quite concerned of a extremist movement similar to the one in Chechnya.

    They are attacking with B2's from the States, B-52's and B-2's from Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, and with Tomahawks from Navy ships.

    The British are particpating but I have no idea what they are using.
