  3. No Phantasy Star? on IGN's Top 100 Games · · Score: 1

    Come on Phantasy Star was an awesome RPG.

    I still want SC3 on XBOX 360 ... Gorram it!

  6. This has nothing to do with email though. on Nigerian Scammers Brought to Justice · · Score: 5, Informative

    The 419 in the article says the most common for is email fraud, but the person arrested didn't use email, it was a bank job.

  13. WISP on Cell Phone Service as High Speed Internet Link? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look for a wireless internet provider in your area. You didn't mention where exactly you live. I work for a WISP and we offer 1.5Mb+ to rural areas.

  14. Re:Jitter is a bunch of crap on Is All SPDIF Audio Output the Same? · · Score: 1

    Right, I meant jitter in this application.
    I know jitter is real, but it's not really a factor in this instance.
    I work for a WISP so I know about jitter in a real environment.

  15. How many write cycles? on Samsung Announces Flash-Based Disk Drive · · Score: 0

    Flash memory can only be written to a finite number of times.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory

    Have they come up with longer lasting Flash?

  16. Jitter is a bunch of crap on Is All SPDIF Audio Output the Same? · · Score: 3, Informative

    We are talking digital signals here.
    Any self respecting DAC circuit will not be affected by jitter.
    I use toslink all the time and there is no problem with "jitter".

    Jitter is marketing hype.

    You don't have to see the movies.

  20. Re:On selling eyeballs... on Selling Your Attention to Spammers · · Score: 1

    Uh, when I go to gmail I don't get any ads.
    Is mine broken?

  21. Re:Fraud Potential on Selling Your Attention to Spammers · · Score: 1

    The reason is this:
    If, and only if, you pay the bond does your email go through. If you are just a regular spammer, you get a return email with one of those images that have a code you have to type in. When you do this it will unlock your message and allow it to go to the recipent.
    This is true of everyone that sends you an email for the first time unless you have them on your whitelist.

    I know this because I worked at an ISP that sold this (Vanquish) service over 2 years ago.

  22. Re:Poorly argued paper on BPL: The Internet's Fool's Gold · · Score: 1

    So the ral solution is to get all of the power lines underground.
    Then you have nice earthen shielding, you don't have to worry about the effects of ULF RF, and you don't have to look at the ugly wires. The BPL would just be a nice side benefit.

  23. Re:How will XBox controllers work with WiFi on Xbox 360 Gets Backwards Compatible, Final Fantasy · · Score: 0

    Actually they are not 802.11.
    I have a friend that worked with microsoft on the controllers.
    They are in the 2.4GHz band, but they use a very robust modulation scheme that overcomes most interference.

  24. Re:No Controller ports on Xbox 360 Gets Backwards Compatible, Final Fantasy · · Score: 1

    There are 2 USB ports on the front.
    I predict that there will be an adapter for your old controllers.

  25. Re:I'll bet on Xbox 360 Gets Backwards Compatible, Final Fantasy · · Score: 1

    Well, they did buy a company that builds emulators for the Power PC architecture.
    I'd say your guess is wrong.
