  1. Re:You're already in "their" database on Ellison's ID Card Plan Gets More Attention · · Score: 1

    While we're at it, let's all get cranial implants that contain a transponder that will let the government know where we are, and let them instantly 'neutralize' us if we were to, say, hijack an airplane or vote for someone else.

  2. Re:Expensive on Case Tweaking · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, that's not really expensive for a case. Some all-aluminum cases cost $300 and don't even come with a power supply or fans.

  3. IMPORTANT: CORRECTED REPLY on Mac Rants · · Score: 1

    Oops, sorry about that. It should look like this: You said: c) multi-platform video games are usually released first for the larger PC market, and therefore invariably have better and more thorough PC driver support for all those fancy 3-D video cards.

    If I recall correctly, Photoshop was developed for the Mac platform first, and is more optimized for it.

  5. Re:benchmarking on Mac Rants · · Score: 1

    No, Photoshop isn't the only application that has the same versions, capabilities, etc. and can tax the machine. Have you ever seen gaming benchmarks between a Mac and a PC? How about benchmarks between a Mac and an overclocked PC? (Some guys are hitting >2.0GHz with their ATHLONS, believe it or not. See www.hardforum.com in the Overclocking & Cooling section).

  6. Re:New Macs, MacOS X on Mac Rants · · Score: 1

    Isn't it funny how all the Mac zealots used to bash Windows for requiring services packs and now they're saying that their prized OS will rock... after the next version?

  7. Re:Not too off... on Mac Rants · · Score: 1

    Somehow I doubt that. Giants: Citizen Kabuto is fill-rate rate limited, if I recall. Therefore, a GeForce3 with it's massive fill rate would EASILY pull away from ANY GeForce2 MX. And regarding the original post, a Dual P3 is the same as a single P3 when it comes to playing games.

  8. HardOCP review on Commercial Water Cooling, And Quiet · · Score: 1

    HardOCP did a review of the Koolance a while ago:

  9. CD-RWs work in the Sony DVP-C650D on Is Sony Turning Its Back On CD-Rs? · · Score: 1

    My Sony DVD player reads CD-RWs, but not CD-Rs (I tried Sony CD-Rs). I used a Verbatim CD-RW and wrote a 10x, no problems. I've also heard that Princo White Surface CD-Rs will work in the Sony DVD players. You can buy them here:
