    Agreed.

    Half my collection of movies are old Anime or Jerry Lewis movies.]

    Bet those look GREAT on HD (yeah right).

    Not only that.. Purchasing VHS movies was expensive. Much more than the average $20 DVD movie you can buy today.

    I remember spending upwards of $100 for a VHS movie.

    And you my friend obviously don't remember watching movies on VHS.

    There is more to DVD over VHS than simply picture quality.

    Go back to listening to Cassette Tapes and then tell me that music on DVD is as big of a step as music on CD was to Cassette Tape.

    You can't.

    I'm more curious about that SCO / Microsoft deal. Didn't Microsoft buy some of those Unix licenses from SCO or something like that?

    Exactly. I'm sure he read somewhere in the NY Times that all southerners are bible-thumping idiots. How will we ever convince this uninformed 'true believer' otherwise? He's obviously not intelligent enough to think for him self.

    Southern USA? Give me a fucking break.

    You honestly believe the south is any more bible-thumping than the north?

    I bet we're all hicks and horse riding cowboys down here too huh? All the Mexicans ride donkeys to their roofing jobs?

    You're a moron and the rest of your comment isn't even worth reading.

    The price difference isn't really all THAT much and in most other countries (or in Japan at the least) there is no Infinity. They're all just Nissan.

  10. Re:Should have been the plan from the beginning on Cisco to Kill Linksys Brand Name · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should combine the brand names for a period of time.. Similar to say... Square-Enix.. Then they could slowly transition over to Cisco that way.

    BTW Nissan still uses Infinity to segment its market in the America.

    I could have swore they listed the ability to watch Youtube videos as a +feature of the phone...yet one of the drawbacks is that it doesn't support flash?

    you hate dealing with morons who use hands free voice dialing compared to the morons who look down at their phones while they dial and swerve all over the road killing innocent dogs and human/cat hybrids while jumping their cars a-la dukes of hazard or in other words driving into the ditch on the side of the road and then flying into the on-coming traffic?

    I can name at least one thing that is much better about Gnome. Most of its users aren't asshole douche bags who act like 12 year old brats.

    Seriously. Why did I ever associate my self with this community in the first place? What was my reason for wanting to develop things I WAS INTERESTED IN and then giving it away for free to assholes like this who turn around and shit all over it?

    Fuck freedom of choice. The open source community is nothing but a bunch of fucking wannabe nazi's.

  24. Re:I'm not buying a WII... on How Wii Is Creaming the Competition · · Score: 1

    I'm in that age range also. Not quite 32 yet but I have a 5 year old daughter.

    I'm kind of the same way. I play a bit of every system, but you know.. I grew up playing games.. Coleco, a bit of Atari, Nintendo, Sega and got really into PC gaming when Wolf3D, Doom, Decent, ROTT, War2 came out and even more so during the Quake days.

    So it's not very surprising to me that you play more 360.. To me that sounds about right.

    I've slowed down a bit since then personally so I am what I would call hardcore. I don't do the PC thing anymore (too expensive) so for me I've settled in quite nicely to the Wii but I still love the 360.

    But you know.. In a few years when my daughter is older and if I had the whole family thing going on (I don't, sadly).. I could easily see my self playing more Wii as a family and probably not caring much about systems like the 360 at all.

  25. Re:I'm not buying a WII... on How Wii Is Creaming the Competition · · Score: 1

    I find it quite easy to bowl strikes personally. I get kind of mad if I don't at least get all strikes and spares.

    I move my guy all the way over to the right where line is near the gutter. (I have a hard time putting spin to go in the other direction so starting from the right is easier for me)

    I don't lob the ball into the air. I let go while the remote is still fairly low.. and I twist my wrist right as I throw it.

    I can usually get strikes doing this and it's pretty easy to be consistent.

    When I get a spare situation I usually find it easier to lob the ball higher just because I have better aim that way. It causes the ball to go off course a little less. I can't aim for crap otherwise because the spin I put isn't always accurate for me... For a split though I don't have much luck when I lob the ball.

    Eh anyway the way I learned how to do it was by playing the training area where. I think it's the middle one for bowling.. where the number of pins grows each time you bowl and when you get a strike you get twice as many points? I love that game.
