    didn't you read the USB pen review posted within last week? one of the features they noted on all of them was "bootable?". there are also already "usb pen distros".

    whats worse than a dupe? posting a wish for something that already exists.

    How's that for a good design? ... horrid.

    so if i want to take my camera out, i have to bring my "bluetooth hardrive pda phone" with me? do you have any idea how small and cheap a 1.5" 1GB HD or 512MB compact flash card is? just stick it in the camera.

    so if i lose or damage my "bluetooth hardrive pda phone", my camera is effectively useless? what about cache memory on the camera? if you are going to put that in, you might as well increase the density and just use internal memory.

  9. Re:no question... on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: -1

    well... because you were able to return your xbox, it is obvious that your xbox wasn't modded, that you weren't using the XBMC, and in all honesty really have no idea what you are talking about.

    out of the box... maybe. maybe the video quality isn't as good as your toshida with a few comb filters... but a modded xbox has IT'S OWN dvd playback software that removes region coding and other nonsense. i'm very happy with the playback.

    unless you are going to explain yourself, i'm just ignoring you.

  13. Re:Interesting move on Sony Connect To Hook Up With PlayStation Portable? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    to get around pirates would be interresting. you would have to give them your "PSP ID", and they would encode the game with that as some sort of salt, so only your PSP could play it. basically same as iTunes, and basically just as easy to reverse.

  15. Re:Please... kill me now on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 0

    lets say the artist gets $1 per cd.

    the artist has to pay a producer for each track. high end producers can get $100,000+ for each song. lets say you're an up and coming band in the RIAA pipeline and spend $500,000 on production, studio time, promoting and distribution.

    YES, the RIAA is taking 70% of the sales, BUT THEY DONT PAY FOR ANYTHING! they make the artist pay!

    lets say you sell 400,000 copies! well great for you. as far as the RIAA is concerned, you still owe them $100,000 even though they profited OVER $5,000,000 off of YOUR cd!

    the only way this band will make money is through live shows, because the RIAA might not advance them the $500,000 next time because they didn't pay it back this time.

    NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER SIGN A RECORDING CONTRACT.

    when i click my scroll wheel to do quick verticle scrolling, the page doesn't accept it and won't let me do it.

  25. you are all idiots. on Train Your Own Replacement · · Score: -1, Troll

    so what if you're mad at the company for laying you off... you have 2 options:

    1) get layed off immediately.

    2) get layed off in a month after you spend that month training your replacement and doing less work than you normally do, but still getting paid... at the end of which you get unemployment.

    basically its the same as if you got layed off, but they're letting you extend your employment time.

    if you don't take that offer, you're retarded and too ego driven.
