  1. Re:no mas no mas! or... "What's up with SG?" on SciFi Channel To Air A New Galactica Series · · Score: 1

    O'Neill has always been essentially second in command of the base, and would assume command automatically anyway if anything happened to Hammond. He would also assume command of the alphasite if the SGC ever got really compromised.

    I think him taking command when Hammond simply moved on is a natural assumption. The only reason anyone else ever held that position was because of some sort of outside pressure (NID, President).

    That's kind of the same reason why Don S. Davis (Gen. Hammond) left the show entirely. He's had some health problems, and the stress of a shooting schedule wasn't helping. He wanted to spend the rest of his time relaxing with his family.

    You know that they're making a miniseries to give Farscape a proper ending? It'll be called "The Peacekeeper Wars"

    PS: I'm sending this from my hospital bed using my 17-inch PowerBook and an Airport Express.

    Are you allowed to use Wi-Fi in a hospital? Wouldn't it mess up some of the other electronics?

    well, technically, you can transfer PS1 saves to PS2 cards in the browser.

    Actually, it sounds more like one of these

    Wisdom Tree didn't quite break any encryption to get around the lockout chip.

    They used a special cartridge with a passthrough that you would attach a real cartridge to. Then it'd use the lockout chip on that one to play.

    I believe the cases you were talking about were Galoob v. Nintendo and Tengen v. Nintendo

    Did you miss the announcement of the GBA slot on the bottom? (DS cartridges aren't going to be shaped the same).

    You can actually get 2100 mAh batteries for the Archos Recorder (and I think Studio) V1 from just about any store that sells photographic equipment for $20. It uses standard Li-Ion AA batteries. 2100s give you a couple more hours life compared to the 1500s that it normally comes with.

  15. Re:I think screensize is going to be important on Sony Confirms 59 In-Development Japanese Titles for PSP · · Score: 1

    Actually, the SP gets away with it because it uses a frontlight with a reflective screen, same as a regular GBA with an Afterburner. This technology uses far less energy than a backlit screen, which is why leaving it on still gives you more than half the battery time you get when you turn it off.

  16. Re:I think screensize is going to be important on Sony Confirms 59 In-Development Japanese Titles for PSP · · Score: 1

    I think you're placing a bit too much importance on the screen. Several of the competition's portables have had better screens, like the Game Gear and the Nomad. However, these all seem to have been beaten by the GB with a blurry black-and-white screen.

  17. Re:Yes...But... on Commercial DVD Software Comes to Linux · · Score: 1

    The XBox has a built in DVD player? I thought you had to pay for it separately with the remote. I know my XBox doesn't play DVDs unless I use linux on it.

    So place the solar panels on the garage instead of the car. You can have more surface area, and you won't have the dent in the aerodynamic and weight efficiency with having all those solar panels on a car.
