  1. No on Will Patents Make NCAA Football Playoffs Impossible? · · Score: 3, Informative

    There are already NCAA football playoffs. Just not the FCS division, formerly known as Division I.

  2. Re:Were it not for Apple, on Facebook Is Transcoding Video For iPad · · Score: 1

    we would still be using floppy disks and parallel ports. Even if you don't like their products, or don't recognize this as progress, I see no reason to be so snide about it.

    And 1 button mice.

    Ahhh, I can dream. The 5 buttons on my current mouse only serve confuse and slow my work progress.

  3. Re:Makes sense on "Judicial Scandal" In Pirate Bay Case · · Score: 1

    If it was after his investigation and they were impressed with his work, I still see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

    If you did work for a company and they were impressed and offered you a job with more pay after you were done would you not be interested?

    The problem is the conjecture that it happened during the investigation. Yes, that would be something I would be opposed to.

  4. Makes sense on "Judicial Scandal" In Pirate Bay Case · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If he did a good job finding or uncovering stuff, why wouldn't they want to hire him after its over?

  5. Re:Dear Hollywood on Warner Backs Blu-Ray. End Times For HD-DVD? · · Score: 2

    The fact that microsoft most likely got behind hd dvd just to be a thorn in sony's side is probably more correct. They can make a blu-ray drive add on for the 360 easily. I don't think they really care at this point.

  6. $98 hd-dvd on Kmart Drops Blu-Ray Players · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Rumor has it walmart will have the toshiba A2 hd-dvd for $98 on black friday

  7. Biggest Disruptive Threat on What to Watch for in 2007 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade

    Lives, Careers, Friends all disrupted.

  8. They'll get distracted on Police Launch Drones Over LA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Once they fly over a backyard with some woman topless sunbathing out by the pool they'll forget all about saving lives.

  9. Still Waiting... on MacBook Pros Upgraded and Shipped · · Score: 0

    Slap one in a 17" and I'm sold. I was hoping that would be the first upgrade they made.

  10. Re:It's a BS experiment. on Trust in a Bottle · · Score: 1

    I've bought several cars and never once trused the dealer.

  11. Re:Link streaming stations to buying in iTunes... on Radio Listening Declining w/ Digital On Its Way Up · · Score: 1

    Also they have a 48k ACC stream that I find sounds much better then the 128 mp3 stream. I'm hoping more stations will start offering those streams.

  12. Re:Link streaming stations to buying in iTunes... on Radio Listening Declining w/ Digital On Its Way Up · · Score: 1
    I listen to http://www.radioparadise.com/ and you can look at the playlist there and they have a lint to itunes and amazon(if they are available there) where you can buy the track or cd.

    I also how I can support them buy buying things at apple or amazon by taking a link from there instead of just donating cash money. They get a small percentage of what your sale. For example I believe they get a nickel out of every song you buy from itunes if you go from their link.

  13. The scary part on Microsoft's New Mantra - It Just Works · · Score: 1

    to me is the fact that all these people have trouble finding files. I could understand once in a very long while needing to use a search to find something but these people who are spending 20% of their time finding stuff is crazy talk.

  14. Re:Offline games require online reporting = BOGUS on Steam Users Steamed · · Score: 1

    You can in fact play them in offline mode as long as you have connected to steam before.

    I played most of hl2 without a connection to the internet I still dislike steam but you can play them.

  15. More big titles then just those on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    There was also Everquest 2 and World of Warcraft.

  16. Sneak peak at ad. on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 1

    50 cent didn't get my 15 dollars, I downloaded his cd free on the internet. Now I'm 50k in debt.

  17. It doesn't say on Facial Recognition Fails in Boston, Too · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anything about whether employees attempted to disguise their appearance at all. If not I would hate to see the rate if they did.

    Either way I don't I like it.

  18. All I can hope for on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1

    Is that someone sends me a text message about that new movie Marci X with Damon Wayans and Lisa Kudrow so I dont' have to go see it.

  19. If AOL can sue on AOL Sues Spammers · · Score: 1

    Then shouldn't I be able to sue them for every piece of spam I have recieved from @aol.com? Turnabout seems fair to me. It using bandwidth I pay for and time I value.

  20. Now we know how on Wired on Hollywood's Elite Message Boards · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This came to be a good idea.

  21. Sign up now! on Public Hardware Beta Tests · · Score: 0

    You will need to sign a waiver, naturally.

  22. Donnie Darko on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1
    Didn't read every post but if it hasn't been said it should've.

    Such a terrific movie for the amount of fan fair it recieved, which is really odd considering it has "hollywood's sweetheart" Drew Barrymore acting and executive producing. Every other hunk of crap she's put out in the last 10 years has been advertised/talked about entirely too much and she finally has a very good one and its almost ignored.

    It's a combination of science fiction and drama. The dvd is really nice because you can read the Roberta Sparrow Philosophy of Time Travel, even though it is fuzzy and best to zoom in if your player supports that function.

    It also has a very good score along with a couple or nice songs added. Fits the movie very well.

    Been the good conspiracy theorist I am, I believe there is a cover up! If you look at the listing at the IMDb You will notice that there is no mention on the first page of Drew Barrymore or Noah Wiley, both who play supporting but crucial roles in the movie(along with Drew's producing) and even though it has a good rating of 8.3 and is #90 on the top 250 of all time at the IMDb they have a pretty bad flame for the one comment that is visible on the first page and has been there for almost a year.

  23. Re:At some point..... on Office 2003 and XML · · Score: 1

    If everyone is supposed to bend over backwards for their clients then we wouldn't be in this situation.

    Microsft would be bending over backwards to make sure thier xml was in a standard that everyone else follows to assist their clients.

  24. Considering on McDonalds to go Wireless? · · Score: 1

    It seems as though it is only being initiated in the near term in large metropolitan locations(NYC, Chicago, and some Cali city), I really don't see it helping roadtrips much.

    I guess its for those few people who can't stand to be disconnected for their entire lunch break?

    Personally, I already get annoyed enough by cell phones while I am eating, I'm really not looking forward to "You've Got Mail!!" being broadcast constantly.

  25. He could be somewhat right on Dell CIO Says "Unix is Dead" · · Score: 1

    I believe with the coming 64bit processors that it will make a large blow to Unix/Sun in the future.

    While it may take a little more than that to kill them off, I think it is a HUGE step.
