  1. Re:an extra second per 1000 years? on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    You made some really good points. I guess then that no matter what happens, everything will always even itself out. awww...
    <happy ending>*CUTE PUPPIES*</happy ending>

    Really though, I wonder over the course of many millions of years how much the rotation has changed from things like this/the moon/asteroids/etc. I guess it's time to go hit the old google

  4. Aren't we missing something? on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How do I fix my old PSX? My Original Playstation. I know the "turn upside down" trick...but for the life of me, I can't seem to find any place that sells laser assemblies anymore. If I ebay or froogle for it, all I get is tons and tons of stuff for the ps2.

    Damn technology.

    I've always wanted to re-play Zelda with new (more SNES-ish) graphics! The "Basic 1st" is what you're looking for.

  15. PocketWarrior on Open Source Projects That You Should Know About? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wow...sure is quiet in this post. I'd figure this one would be a fun one that I could look and find some cool new programs to try out. Guess I should've known better. (I'm not new here)

    Anyways...

    I like PocketWarrior but it saddens me that it will not currently work with my Dell Axim X3i and the built in Wi-Fi. Otherwise, I'd be having a lot more fun with my little PPC.

    Actually...if I remember right, they do.

    or at least they did in one episode.

    You know...I'm tired of people just assuming the Simpsons live in Illinois. Just becuase Illinois has a Springfield and a Shelbyville.

    Well, want to know a little secret? Indiana has a Springfield, a Shelbyville, and a DUFF!

    So, for all we know, it could be anywhere!

    Thank you for being smart. I'm glad someone pointed that out. I really didn't want to actually have to post a commen...damnit.

  19. Re:yeah on Haunted Houses Explained: Infrasound · · Score: 1

    I had that compiler! If I rememember right, it was a 7hz tone. *shrugs* Back in the day I was trying to go and get my PC speaker to emit a 7hz tone. Of course, it didn't really matter, since the closest thing to a chicken I had was a KFC about a mile away. Stupid silly me.

  23. Movix on Windows XP Media Center Edition Review · · Score: 1

    I can't beleive I don't see one single comment about movix so far! That's terrible! I for one have been looking at it, and think that the project looks like it has a great future. I only wish that there was more that I could do. I know my programming skills are too rusty (I'm used to programming for my old 486).

    Thanks for everything!

  24. BREW on Developing for the Motorola T720 · · Score: 4, Interesting
    As a person who sells phones for an indirect Verizon Wireless agent, I think that this sucks. Verizon's just going to dig themselves into a hole. First they kill our commissions ($5.00 per phone I sell), then they team with Microsoft, and now they are leaving out some of the biggest buyers in the high end cell phone market: Geeks.

    Shame on you Verizon...shame shame shame!
