  1. Re:Something like this for the PS2, other crap on Visualization Plugins & G-Force, Oh My! · · Score: 1

    Their visualization is on a disc with their music. What would really be neat would be a visualization on a mem card so you could play any audio CD and get visualization on the screen.

  2. Viz on the PSX/PS2? on Visualization Plugins & G-Force, Oh My! · · Score: 1

    What I'd really love would be a visualization engine on a memory card for the PSX or PS2. Then I wouldn't need an extra computer just to play tuns and run visualization on my TV.

  3. Binary Scale on Amazon Starts 'Tip Jar' System · · Score: 1

    Hard to ignore the racist graphics, but this guy actually came up with an original/funny idea: www.amiblackornot.com.

    How many hotornot ripoffs do we need?

    Besides, the whole "rate from 1-10" thing is ridiculous. What's the difference between a 4 and a 5? Come on. I know when I see a girl I don't rate her from 1-10. I rate her from 0-1. She's either good enough or she isn't.

  4. Re:Screw God on Technology And The XFL · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting to see someone yell at Jesus for making him drop a pass, fumble, lose a game. They thank him when the win-- they shoul dcurse him when they lose.

    "Yeah, I missed the field goal, but it was Jesus's fault. Fuck that guy."

  5. Hockey is not zero-sum on Can You Suggest Any Non-Zero Sum Games? · · Score: 1

    Hockey, at least in the NHL, can have a positive sum outcome. In the NHL, a team gets 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 1 point for an overtime loss.

  6. Mmmm, iMac grill on New Boxes For Captain Crunch · · Score: 1

    And the latest iMac will cook a great hamburger.

  7. Re:Weird Fun With Propulsion on The Reactionless Space Drive? · · Score: 1

    The barrier to flying cars isn't technological, it's regulatory. Their are conventional vertical take off and landing (VTOL) aircraft that can be built cheaply and would be perfectly functional as flying cars.

    But FAA regulations are such that flying cars are useless (unless you take your chances using it illegally). And the regs aren't likely to change because there are real problems with safely regulating the traffic of flying cars.

    Unless someone can come up with a workable regulatory system for flying cars it won't happen, flying saucer or not.

  8. Sparse matrix problem on FCC Considering 10-Digit Dialing [UPDATED] · · Score: 3

    Before we get really ambitious with something like a common number for all your devices, let's get local number portability. If local numbers were portable there would be *no shortage* of telephone numbers. 10 digit numbers with no 1 or 0 to start the area code or the exchange is 8^2(10^8) = 6.4 billion phone numbers. With a population of ~275 million that's more than 20 phone numbers for every man, woman, child, and little baby in the country.

    The whole problem is that there are some exchanges with tons of unused numbers and others that are full. Each area code has 8 million numbers. If we got local number portability, all 8 million would be used. Now *that* would sure beat overlays and splits, let alone mandatory 10 digit dialing just to reclaim 0 and 1.

  9. Re:Cheap?! DVD player for $100 on Is The PS2 Your Next DVD Player? · · Score: 1

    They have a DVD player for $100 on circuitcity.com.
