  1. Lynx on Does Adblock Violate A Social Contract? · · Score: 1

    Uh Oh.....I should probably stop using lynx

  2. Re:Sports? on EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares · · Score: 1

    Would you need a license? What I was thinking was that the rosters are fully configurable, say in some plugin module. Then, if a group of guys get together and hacked up an nfl roster, saved it, and made it available, I don't see a licensing problem (as long as it wasn't a module coming from the development team). Seems like it would work...

  3. Sports? on EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares · · Score: 2

    I can see your point, but I think there is one area where this is viable: sports. You spend a lot of time developing a strong game engine. Then, rosters, create-a-team, create-a-player, different playbooks, different plays, etc. can all be created, keeping the game fresh.

    (yes, I'm trying to find a place to stick another comma)

  4. Re:6600GT on Linux GPU Performance · · Score: 1

    The 6600GT is PCI express only at the moment. And, there are currently no mobo's that have both socket 939 and PCI-e

  5. Re:Don't waste your time or money on mod chips! on Xbox Modchip Featuring Onboard Operating System · · Score: 1

    and the software exploits do NOT work on version 1.6 xboxes...

  6. Re:Hardware? We don't need no stinkin' hardware. on Xbox Modchip Featuring Onboard Operating System · · Score: 1

    This may be true for older xboxen. But, unfortunately for us with 1.6 version xboxes, a modchip is required.

  7. I remember this... on Blinkx and You Won't Miss It · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Blinkx. I remember this back when it was called "Bonzi Buddy".

  8. Re:what is the bitrate for HDTV? on Dirac: BBC Open Source Video Codec · · Score: 1

    thanks..

  9. what is the bitrate for HDTV? on Dirac: BBC Open Source Video Codec · · Score: 1

    what is the bitrate for HDTV? I don't know how many bits per pixel it takes.

    Thanks in advance,

  10. Ripping out the HD on iPod Mini Worldwide Rollout Delayed · · Score: 1

    I've heard quite a few people are buying them to rip out the 4gig hard drives and putting them in their digital cameras. I guess it is 200 bucks cheaper.

  11. Encrypt it on Legislators Looking At Peer to Peer Monitor · · Score: 1

    I say just encrypt the file and post the MD5..

  12. Re:'Quotes' on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 1

    This guy sounds like a prime candidate to buy some wind-up flashlights, cans of food, and gold. He is talk radio's dream consumer! Gold bond, anyone?

  13. Re:Oh yeah, lawyers are Bush's second biggest $sou on Price-Fixing Settlement Checks in the Mail · · Score: 1

    But the point that you are missing is that most of these lawyers are donating on behalf of their clients in order to give more than the $2000/person limit. So, it is not lobbying for lawyers/law firms'agendas, it is the agendas of their clients.

  14. Re:Not my problem anymore. on Intuitive Bug-less Software? · · Score: 1

    You don't get a vote in everything. Adapt.

  15. Re:Not my problem anymore. on Intuitive Bug-less Software? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you have found a business opportunity:
    1. Companies looking to outsource are wanting to pay less for programming skills.
    2. There are not enough job offerings for programmers at a lower pay scale.

    Start a company with programmers that are willing to accept less money and lowball the offshore bids.

  16. Re:Not my problem anymore. on Intuitive Bug-less Software? · · Score: 0, Troll

    If I hear one more programmer cry about outsourcing to India, I'm going to scream. This is life in a global economy. Live with it. If you want to love what you do for a living, be willing to accept less money for it (think teaching, being a cop, etc.). If you want to be rich, obtain skills in an area that is paying well. It's that simple:

    Choose your rate, choose your fate.

  17. Re:Yet more bogus damages calculations on Kazaa Offices Raided · · Score: 1

    You can prove anything with statistics.....80% of all people know that!

  18. Loosen Up on Scott Kurtz Blasts Comic Strips on Tech Support · · Score: 1

    I think Mr. Kurtz is being way too uptight. User friendly is hilarious. I'm an NT tech support person , and I'm pretty new to Linux and the other *nixes. Yet I think it is very funny. If you can't laugh at yourself, the world is a boring place.
