  1. ROFL on Microsoft Opens MSN Music Store · · Score: 1

    Also, Microsoft takes a hit at Apple for not licensing iPod functionality to third parties

    muahahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    oh man, that one is going to make me chuckle all day long... great start to the day.

  2. dUh on Another Format War: DVD -R9 v. +R9 · · Score: 1

    Even thought you'll be able to write your data a number of different ways depending upon the application you are using, the two layers are treated as a single volume.

    Doesn't anyone proof read this shit? I see this on at least 50% of articles I read online.

  3. Re:Spy on Nerds?! on Peeping Tom Worm That Uses Webcams · · Score: 4, Interesting

    her name, address and phone number genlocked at the start

    Ok, I'll be the g33k that will nitpick, when we're talking about porn. I'll shoot myself later.

    "genlocked" ermm... That's interesting. I've never hidden information in 100% black before... Genlock = black burst signal sent to professional (usually analog) video gear to keep everything synchronized... ie Pro camera: Genlock goes in, acquired video is synchronized to said reference signal, video w/burst goes out... Perhaps the auther means title or key?

    Let the -1 trolling begin.

  4. Re:high dynamic range display on SIGGraph and Open Source · · Score: 1

    You jest - but you hit the nail on the head. Great. We have high-dynamic range displays. So we can see some pretty good CG stuff. But has anyone invented a set of CCD pickups with a 40,000:1 contrast ratio? Thats what I'm waiting for...

    Chicken before the egg thing I guess. I've never seen a film with that kind of exposure latitude or even a CMOS scanning camera. When this kind of tech hits the acquisition end of things, the demand will be instant and massive. Every TV station, production house, and commercial photographer will sell their first born. I can't wait!

  5. Real people! on Downsides to Intrafamily IM? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ok, enough is enough. I can't believe there are professionals in this world that think this is a GOOD thing. I regularly stop IM conversations with a phrase like - "Shouldn't this be a phone/face-to-face conversation?" The text medium simply leaves too much room for misunderstanding.

    Families need to learn to DEAL with eachother, and having your body language and voice inflection sheilded sure as hell isn't going to help.

    Kids these days. (I'm 22, and I get scared.)

  6. Paradigm. on What Audio System Powers Your Home Theater? · · Score: 1

    Look at Paradigm's line. we use these horns at the studios, they've got great freq response. Also have a look at some of the funkier B&W series... Amazing what u can do with Kevlar these days.
