  1. That's great... on Educational Consortium Will Control .edu Domains · · Score: 1
    ...so, when will they get rid of shit like Visions.edu? (Yeah, that's really a 4-year institution...)

  2. Isn't there a limit on "spoilers"? on The Art Of The Matrix · · Score: 4
    Like, people living under a rock for the past 2 years shouldn't be protected from spoilers, don't you think?

  3. Not even that. on Windows XP to Target MP3 Files · · Score: 4
    They're only limiting the rate at which their *own* software can create MP3s (to 56k). If you were to download LAME for Windows, or any of the myriad other MP3 encoders for Windows, you'd still be able to create MP3s at whichever rate you wanted to.

    Who the hell uses Windows' built-in applications anyway?

  4. "There just aren't many USB devices"? on FireWire For Windows XP, But No USB 2.0 · · Score: 1
    Can't you say the same thing about IEEE 1394 devices? I'd say there's actually *a lot* more stuff available for USB than FireWire.

  5. Solaris doesn't support Firewire. on FireWire For Windows XP, But No USB 2.0 · · Score: 2
    Well, okay, they do. For *one* device: Sun's own, proprietary videoconferencing camera. Sun will steer you toward their high-priced SCSI cards if you want to add external storage to your Blade 100 workstation, though, and no other Sun hardware has Firewire ports.

  6. How do you figure point the third? on Indrema No More · · Score: 2
    Microsoft's not first to market in the console arena. They're not second. Hell, they're not even third. How will they magically have the entire video game console market locked up? Simply saying "because they're Microsoft" is ignorant. Products succeed and fail (even in an oligopoly like the video game console market) based more on merits than brand name.

    Don't believe me? Look how well Microsoft's done in the handheld arena.

  10. Okay... on IBM & Carrier in Web-Enabled Air Conditioner Deal · · Score: 1
    This is at the top of my list of "Shit that can be done, but probably shouldn't." Why the hell would you want to control your A/C from a website when you can go across the room and adjust it?

  13. i810 3d is *horrid*... on Full Powered, Compact, Gaming Rigs? · · Score: 1
    If he's gonna be using this as a gaming box, he'll probably want something with considerably more 3d power than the 810 is able to deliver. Unfortunately, laptops with that kind of grunt usually cost $2700 or so...

    Just use ASFRecorder. Hell, you can compile it under Linux, even!
