  1. Re:Who Wants to Watch Porn On the Go? on Porn in Your Pocket · · Score: 1

    Hey, you can take the PSP with you into bed.

  2. Re:They're adding IDN support NOW??? on 'Lower Rights' IE 7.0 Coming · · Score: 1

    Opera has this NOW, firefox doesn't. I was just commenting the current situation. I did not mean to imply that it was a permanent solution.

  3. Re:They're adding IDN support NOW??? on 'Lower Rights' IE 7.0 Coming · · Score: 1, Informative

    Firefox's solution was to turn off international domain names, while Opera's solution was to only allow IDNs on top level domains that have a responsible attitude towards granting domain names.

    So no .coms, nets or orgs.

  4. Re:Physics is the new graphics on Graphics Don't Matter · · Score: 2

    Yes! Please oh please some one finally make a playable game! I mean NES has been out since, what, 1982? All this time developers have been focusing solely on graphics, and lately on physics. Maybe in the year 2006 we will finally have a game that is fun.

    Oh god these twenty years have been horrible...

  5. Re:Speed Demos on Gaming Glitches Add Character · · Score: 1

    Well they don't exactly try to hide the fact on the page. And the runs are still fun.

  6. Re:So what's the deal with you linux zealots? on Linux For Cell Processor Workstation · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Just because it has a lot of text doesn't mean that it's not a troll.

  7. Re:How is that good for anybody? on The Revolution Is In The Games · · Score: 1

    95% of everything is crap. This is especially true for free games.

  8. Re:I don't get it... on Sony Sues Over PSP Imports · · Score: 1

    The official price hasn't been revealed, but the PSP it from Lik-Sang + customs + VAT was less than what the rumored price was. And I already have my PSP now.

    Megahertz is a liberal myth.

    Yes, that's very ironic, Alanis.

  12. Re:Obvious... on Nintendo Won't Pull A Sega · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't have the worldwide sales for each system at hand, but according to this page: http://the-magicbox.com/topten.htm about 5000 more PSPs have been sold than DS in Japan this year. I imagine it's pretty close in th US as well. If it is, I don't think DS is blowing PSP out of the water, because PSP has not been released everywhere yet. IMO It's not a fair comparsion.

    DS has a clear lead at the moment, but I believe PSP will catch up in 2006.

  13. Re:Obvious... on Nintendo Won't Pull A Sega · · Score: 1

    It has been out 84 days longer in Europe. And counting.

    And to my knowledge in the year 2005 PSP sales have been a little bit bigger that DS's sales. DS's lead comes largely from when PSP was not released in the USA yet.

  14. Re:They only need to do ONE thing to make me happy on More Twilight Princess Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    IIRC, there were three guards in the town, and I talked to two of them and they said the same thing. I just thought that the third one would just repeat the same lines the two other did.

  15. Re:They only need to do ONE thing to make me happy on More Twilight Princess Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    "Hm, have I talked to every single person in this town yet? No? I've missed the one person who'll say exactly what I need to hear to reach my next goal? *sigh*"

    Like in Minish cap where you had to talk to that guard that blocked your path to the west? I had never talked to him before, so I didn't know that he insisted I learn some move that I had already learned. And even when I had learned the move, he still blocked the way until I talked to him the first time.

  16. Re:Success/failure stories? on O'Reilly on the Virtues of Rexx · · Score: 1

    So, is FP fixed point or floating point?

    Leukemia.

  18. Re:Firefox is a bad example because on McVoy Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    Firefox is a bad example also because they have copied pretty much every feature form Opera. The biggest feature that I can think of that is in plain Firefox and not in Opera is adding web forms as search keywords into bookmarks.

  19. Re:Gnome based? Minimo??? on Nokia's Linux Handheld · · Score: 1

    They use Opera.

  20. Re:So.... on A Peek at Personalized Google · · Score: 1

    Sometimes Google tracks normal search results. The urls are of the form "http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=your_url _here&e=some_number".

  21. Re:So.... on A Peek at Personalized Google · · Score: 1

    Actually, I don't really care if the front page gets cluttered, since I do practically all my searching using Opera's address bar.

    Now one feature that DOES annoy me is Google's click-tracking. If I search something using google, check the top three results and figure out that my search terms are wrong.

    So I use some other terms and notice that the three results are the same that I got from the last query after clicking them, because the urls are not he same in google because they track clicks.

    I've made a privoxy filter that works unless the target url has special characters. So it looks like a job for user javascript.

  22. Re:WHY? on Television on your Phone · · Score: 1

    Every time there is an article about a television with new features, someone has to whine about televisions being too complicated. There are plenty of televisions that are just that, they just don't get the coverage because it's not news!

  23. Re:Modern Controllers on Revolution Details By End of Year · · Score: 1

    The only button that is easy to remember on the PS controller is the triangle, and that's because it's at the top, so the shape of its glyph points to the right direction. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most rarely used buttons.

  24. Only three layers? on Blu-Ray DVDs Hit 100 GB · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is shortly after the previously reported HD-DVD announced three-layer HD-DVD that would hold a "mere" 45 GB.

    Oh, the fools! If only they'd built it with four layers! When will they learn?!?

  25. Re:Backwards compatibility is hard on 360's Backwards Compatibility Weak? · · Score: 1

    Writing emulators for NES, SNES and GB(C) is pretty trivial these days, and with N64 they have some inside information.
