  1. Re:poor unscrewed on G4TechTV Announced · · Score: 1

    I guess you are illiterate?

    it says right in the FAQ that unscrewed is gonna be kept.

  2. Re:Solar power is going to be big on New Material for More Efficient Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    actually, a coal power-plant can have the appropriate equipment added that make them cleaner than 1000 cars.

    by centralizing the emissions to power-plants in the short run, it will make it much much easier to control the emissions.

  3. Re:(cant come up with an appropriate topic) on New Material for More Efficient Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    yeah... lets destroy an entire ecosystem to generate power... great idea.

  4. this guy is clueless on FireFox and Longhorn: Meant For Each Other? · · Score: 1

    it does not matter if Firefox embraces all the proprietary lockin technologies of longhorn.

    FF is opensource and just like they did on OS X, there will be a native Longhorn browser based on Gecko.

  5. WHAT!!! on Comcast Plans Cable Boxes with Integrated Wi-Fi and Snooping · · Score: 0, Troll

    dude, it is a home network!!!

    WTF.

    it better have the ability to disable the wifi in it so that I can hook up my own access point behind a router.

  6. ORRRR on Microbroadcasting Summer Camp · · Score: 2

    I turn on the radio and get cross talk and garbled words because of all the damn idiots broadcasting in my area.

  7. Calm down. on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 1

    Steve jobs said in his conference call transcript that he is keeping the price at 99 cents because that is what the customers want.

    oh, and according to the register, the euro labels are to blame because they thing that they can get customers to buy music at 2.99 a song.

    uhh...yyyeeeaahhhh....................

    I guess you have just not noticed how all the intro scenes are from San Francisco

  9. Re:From the Wikipedia perspective on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 1

    why not have an article open for active changes for a year or so, then after all disputes have been handled in the time, it becomes locked. then if there is a need to change, people can submit for the reopening of the article for new information. the request can be reviewed (obviously with evidence as to why it needs to be reopened) and you can leave the review up to the community. when 85% of the community agree that it needs to be reopened, then you reopen it for editing for 1 year and the cycle starts over.

    why did they vandalize it?

    and how can you call it vandalism when you let anonymous people make changes to the document.

  12. Re:what I don't understand is WHY!!!! on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 2, Funny

    remember last year when Leo was making fun of Kevin's dark tip of the day and Sarah said "hey, I like his dark tip!!" and everything went silent and kevin had this weird look on his face :-)

    I was rolling on the floor with that one.

  14. what I don't understand is WHY!!!! on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 2, Insightful

    what does this accomplish?

    were they paid to much money for Compost's liking?

    the Screen Savers will still have kevin Rose and David foo foo since they are single geeks who have nothing better to do but to relocate to LA. does comcast even what to keep the same format? or are they going to try to keep it to a low number of shows and jut have tech live in between documentary type programs like invent this and body hits?

  15. Re:WE KNOW. on CDs May be Less Immortal than We Thought · · Score: 1

    what ever happened to JonKatz? did we piss him off how we made fun of him all the time or did he die?

  16. Re:It's pretty Sad on CDs May be Less Immortal than We Thought · · Score: 1

    tell you what... you sit down and start burning your songs o your hearts content. when you run into a point that no matter where in the playlist you put that song you can not make a CD, come back and tell us and we will bitch...IF we are not already dead first... fact is that you can burn a song so many times that you would have to sit at your computer day after day for the rest of your life to exhaust all the permutations possible. that is assuming though that you have a music library larger than 10 songs.

  17. Re:FUD ALERT! on CDs May be Less Immortal than We Thought · · Score: 1

    no, fair = good enough for everyone,

  18. Re:FUD ALERT! on CDs May be Less Immortal than We Thought · · Score: 1

    no, there is a limmit!!!take the number of songs you have, multiply each spot on a CD by that number -n where n is the position in the list you are starting at zero, next multiply that by n! and finally multiply that by 7

    that is how many times any one song can be burned to CD...most certainly NOT unlimited....but it is a hell of a lot, even if you only had 10 songs.

  19. DRAM!!! on DSI Delivers up to 3GB/s with Solid State Disk · · Score: 1

    ARE THEY NUTS!!! power outage...woops there goes my paper, and my OS.

    how about ust giving a hard drive a 32 MB cache? or more perhaps?

    that would be cheaper and be more reliable until MRAM hits the market and can replace Hard drives with no worries, not to mention no more hybernation by writing to disk, you can just turn off the computer and it will boot right back up to where you left off in a few seconds.

  20. quick answer on Putting Google to the Test · · Score: 0

    no, but it is the quickest way to find a source that is not reputable and meets your point of view so that you can post stupid links to it claiming that it is proof you are correct.

    uhh.... the grandparent was talk8inga bout local exploits. a local exploit on a home machine is pretty non-toxic. remote explots are the bad ones, and on Apple and Unix machines, those are few to none.

    things we can use iTB drive for:

    Raw Video rather than DV compressed video, so rather than taking 12 GBs per hour, it will take 50 - 90 GBs per hour.
