    I just hope they don't make any shitty games.

  2. Anyone else get cropped video? on Skype For iPhone Now Makes Video Calls · · Score: 1

    I tried a video call to a skype client on Ubuntu, but the iOS skype app was displaying cropped video. Has anyone else tried connecting to a linux skype client with the new app?

  3. This has serious implications... on Scientists Create Mice From 2 Fathers · · Score: 1

    and prop up Ponzi schemes (e.g. Social Security)

    While Social Security has it's set of problems, it's wrong to call it a Ponzi scheme.

  5. Re:ASUS RT-N16 on Open Source Router To Replace WRT54GL? · · Score: 1

    I've been using this router for a week now, and it's blown away my old linksys--which started to hang and reboot if I downloaded a heavy torrent. I want to put my USB printer on the N16, but haven't gotten around to trying that yet.

    Also, because this thing has so much RAM, you can bump the number of supported TCP connections way past the dd wrt default limit of 4096. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=65396&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

  6. Re:Let me be the first to say... on Fable III Announced For 2010 · · Score: 1

    I'd give you mod points if I had any. I don't want to buy an 360 just to play Fable II.

    Very well put. Mod parent up.

  9. Re:Bravo! on Michigan Man Charged for Using Free WiFi · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A police officer notices someone doing something slightly suspicious, so he approaches the individual and asks some questions. Not fully sure a law is being broken, he does his homework. After finding out that a law was indeed broken, he swears out a warrant for his arrest.

    I have to say, I don't see anything wrong with that.

    Now, I completely agree with your sentiments that the law is dumb and should be changed. But don't blame a police officer for doing his job.

  10. Re:Difficult for more complex data? on Google CEO — Take Your Data and Run · · Score: 1

    FYI...you can get your emails, and contacts I think, by firing up good ol' Outlook (or Outlook Express) and configuring it for your hotmail account. Connect to your account, then export or save as or whatever. Although, I'm not sure if there is a non-Winbloze alternative.

  11. Re:Smart is one thing... on Goldfish Smarter Than Dolphins · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, back in the day, movies used to be reel.

  15. Re:OMG. What kind of.... on Athlon 64 In-depth Overclocking Guide · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Although I agree with you, you can't overlook the fact that you need more expensive system parts to successfully overclock (e.g. motherboard, RAM).

    Those more expensive costs eat into your processor savings.

  16. Article: -1 Overrated on When Is A Good Time To Upgrade? · · Score: 1

    I need an article to tell me to buy a phone when my current one gets run over by a bus? Seriously, is there anyone reading this thinking,

    You know, this guy is right! I *should* buy a new phone because my current one is in pieces under a bus.

    I upgrade because I have no self-control, and because Best Buy is the Devil.

    Was anyone else disturbed by the first photo?

    I felt like some pseudo-asian Obe Wan was staring at me saying, "These aren't the copyright lawsuits you're looking for."

  21. Re:Waste on One Answer To Spam: Sell Your Interruption Time · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if there a way to find out where a given spam email originated from? What if you own your mail server? I understand mail headers can be made up to contain anything.

    I'd like to see an all out D.O.S. attack on these spam servers.

    Does rapid improvement in processor technology cancel out the need for developers to learn how to write better code on a particular platform in order to achieve the maximum possible benefit from Information Technology?

    It certainly does. I know so many people who took a single 'course' in Visual Basic and now think they are 'programmers'. It's an insult to us programmers. Task? Thread? Linked Lists? Arrgh...
