  1. Re:Accessories? on NVIDIA Offers 3D Glasses For the Masses · · Score: 3, Informative

    If I am reading things correctly, this should work with Mirror's Edge, no mod required.

  2. Re:Everyone who cares.... on Second World of Warcraft Expansion Launched, Conquered · · Score: 1

    The sims may have more units sold, but it does not have more man hours played. You might as well say that minesweeper/solitaire is the most popular game of all time. All three games have a valid claim, with the correct criteria.

    With Deus-Ex you can check them all!

  5. Re:so we can hate the french again? on France Seeks To Push 3-Strikes Law Across Europe · · Score: 1

    No one calls them "Freedom Fries" but most people don't call the french fries either. When ordering they are either included in a numeric combo order, or referred to as the monosyllabic "Fries".

    I am using the TW/Comcast comparison as part of my decision on where to get an apartment.

    By your logic, reversing entropy is the most important pursuit ever. Again, without it, there will eventually be no life.

    Thus he was fed for the rest of his life.

  9. Re:And the ATI R520... on GeForce 7800 GTX Review · · Score: 1

    The anandtech review addresses this issue.

    It looks like ati is ahead on H.264 support.

    20% is not my experience, however if I open 20 or 30 tabs, and leave the browser running for a few days, I can usually get firefox .8 to crash.

  11. A short review of nextel wireless broadband on Review Of Verizon's New Wireless Network · · Score: 2, Informative

    As I live in the raleigh area, I was quite happy to see this article a few weeks ago. I signed up and got in the six month beta. The service is still in beta stage and not allways up. The area covered is also quite small at the moment. But the speed is great. It is quite fast, I often see speeds of over 750 kbps down and 80 up. I get a ping of 50 from google.

    The downside is they assign you a private ip address, and route you through a NAT. So bittorrent and game serving stink.

    "The speed of broadband, the ease of WiFi and the coverage of cellular" is a good discription of the service, but I will be keeping my cable access untill they start handing out real ip addresses.

    Doom9 was ok with it in his most recent tests.

  13. Thunderbird Has Graphical New Mail Notification on Next Generation Mail Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The article says mozilla's new mail notification is audio only. I am using thunderbird on windows, and it often pop's up a little message in the bottom right of the screen.

  14. Re:Network Selection on Tim Brown On Current Design Challenges · · Score: 1

    WECM does this already. Both the client and server are running on Linux. However it's very hard to set up, and costs and arm and a leg.

    But if you are a large organization that wants to roam across a bunch of networks it is the way to go.
