  1. The only place vitamin B12 occurs in nature is animal products.
    Are the results of this study repeatable?

  2. DirecTV NOW is finally starting to become stable and watchable.

  3. While the article mentions El Nino, it conveniently fails to take "The Blob" into consideration.

  4. Hosts file on Will Ad Blockers Kill the Digital Media Industry? · · Score: 1

    Use an ad blocking and tracking hosts file instead of a plugin. A properly set up hosts file can also prevent malware.

  5. Salvage 1 on Why India's Mars Probe Was So Cheap · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the Indian government sat down with a Betamax of the old Andy Griffith show "Salvage 1" and a notepad.

  6. Re:I don't know.. here's my take on his comments on Nintendo's Iwata Says Old Console Cycle Dead · · Score: 1

    Also, it's only a matter of time before Microsoft or Sony takes a direct attack on the Wii as literally being beefed up GameCube hardware in as a marketing attack since it has taken off so well.

    Isn't the new PC I just bought to play Crysis literally beefed up PC hardware that I used to play Doom 15 years ago?
    I don't understand your point.

  7. Re:Why is more government the solution? on FTC Says 'Slow Down' on Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    What we need is more competition.
    Why aren't there more WiMax players in the US? I live in a major metropolitan area yet there's no WiMax provider.

  8. List View on 15 Things Apple Should Change in Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    A Finder preference to open every new finder window in List View as default.

  9. sales tax on HR 5252 Bill Dies · · Score: 1

    This is a great victory but I'll make up my mind after how the "Web-friendly Congress" reacts when local governments start asking for sales taxes from online retailers.

  10. how many? on Apple Begins Fixing MacBook Pro Issues · · Score: 1

    I have a 2.0Ghz Mac Book Pro. How many extra packets of ketchup do I need to down a large order of McFries with my Mac Book Pro?

  11. IBM screwed themselves on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    Apple had no choice. Jobs promised a G5 laptop more than a year ago. IBM dropped the ball because they were too busy concentrating on the Xbox with Microsoft.

  12. Re:Dont forget our favorite ones. on Zilog To File For Chapter 11 · · Score: 1

    Without the Z80, there would be no PacMan.

  15. Re:how to tell... on Who Invented Packet-Switching? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't think you get it.

  16. Re:This one is easy ... on Who Invented Packet-Switching? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    When will the cartoon series Tick be available on DVD?

  19. Re:Star Wars R.I. P. on Star Wars II: Return of the Name · · Score: 1
    The mighty Lucas has faltered!

    The mighty Lucas faltered a long time ago. Remember Howard the Duck?
    If the next Star Wars installment is the same quality as the last two, perhaps it should be called Star Wars II: Revenge of Montezuma.

  20. Re:The Name SUCKS on Who'll Be Using Ogg Vorbis Instead Of MP3? · · Score: 1

    The short name should be Vorbis. If I'm not mistaken, Vorbis is the audio portion of the Ogg stream. If a cool name was important, wouldn't you have thought BetaMax would have won over VHS?

  21. Re:The Name SUCKS on Who'll Be Using Ogg Vorbis Instead Of MP3? · · Score: 1

    What would your response be if you were hearing the names "Kleenex" or "Xerox" for the first time? BTW, Ogg Vorbis isn't any geekier than "mpeg1 layer 3."

  22. Re:Need hardware players and conversion tools on Who'll Be Using Ogg Vorbis Instead Of MP3? · · Score: 1

    There are cd rippers available for vorbis. See this site: www.vorbis.com/software.psp

  23. Re:Ogg? But Why? on Who'll Be Using Ogg Vorbis Instead Of MP3? · · Score: 1

    Not only does the article exclude things like bit rate and double blind testing, but it also doesn't mention which BETA versions of the encoder and decoder were used.

  24. Re:There's always a way... on Macrovision CD Protection Bypassed · · Score: 1

    You can't copy from DVD to VHS either. DVD's have MACROVISION!

    How could it be a meteorite if it burned up in the atmosphere?
