  1. Re:DMCA violation...? on Wii Internet Connection Reverse Engineered · · Score: 1

    No, because there's no encryption being broken here.

  2. Re:wanna compare cpu speeds? on Intel Unveils New Chips to Battle AMD · · Score: 1

    Took somewhere between 60 and 70 seconds on my Pentium M 1.7 ghz (Thinkpad T41p).

  3. South Park quote... on Blackberry Maker Facing Infringement Case In U.K. · · Score: 1

    "I'll sue you! I'll sue you in England!"

  4. Show cuts on Broadway Awards Spam · · Score: 1
    I saw the show pre-Broadway in Chicago in January, and when I bought the cast recording last week I noticed that one of my favorite songs (the one where Sara Ramirez sings as the cow launched by the French) was cut from the show when it moved to New York! I was really disappointed.

    Does anyone know if I can get a recording of this song anywhere?

  5. Re:It's ok... on Nintendo A Capella · · Score: 1

    It may be more true to the music, but the (lack of, IMHO) singing talent left me a little disappointed. The effort is impressive, though!

  6. Bring out your dead! on Sony to PSP Owners: Just Adapt · · Score: 1

    Off in the distance, I hear a PSP crying out:

    "I'm not dead yet!"

    You can't take the PSP for dead like that (not yet released in the US) - it's against regulations!

  7. Re:Off to the right? on Sony to PSP Owners: Just Adapt · · Score: 1

    And what's interesting about this case is that the people in leadership positions - those whose jobs require them to have a clear (crystal) view of the big picture - did not fix this when they had the chance.

  8. Off to the right? on Sony to PSP Owners: Just Adapt · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If the button mechanism had to be placed further to the right than the button itself, why didn't they just make the PSP more wide by that small amount of distance? It probably wouldn't have increased the width by a noticable amount.

    If it was produced to specifications, then I have some questions for whomever forced those specifications all the way past the play-testing phase.

  9. Re:No blood no foul... on All Emulation is Illegal · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What if the publisher plans to eventually re-release emulated versions of its older games for a newer system?

    This is exactly what they did with their old NES games for Gameboy.

    If there's enough demand for something "old" like EVO that a re-release is potentially marketable, then downloading without paying for it in some form may be regarded by some as questionable.

    However, it can be difficult to find out if a re-release is in the works to begin with....

  10. For those of us who are too cheap.... on Beginning Perl, 2nd Ed. · · Score: 5, Informative

    There are also a lot of free resources out there to help you learn Perl without having to buy a book. The following website's tutorials listing helped me get started:

    http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Tutorials

    YMMV of course, and you may very well wind up buying a book anyway, but still check that out!

  11. Re:Does *not* work on Verizon on Google Launches SMS Search Service · · Score: 1

    Hmm, did you port your number from another carrier? I did, and I suspect that's the problem.

  12. Re:Does *not* work on Verizon on Google Launches SMS Search Service · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I just tried it a minute ago and still no reply. The guy at SMS support said there was nothing wrong with my text messaging, and in fact I can still do AIM over it. Weird.

  13. Does *not* work on Verizon on Google Launches SMS Search Service · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I noticed that I got no result replies on my Verizon phone when I searched for "pizza 60603". I called Verizon and spoke with a lead SMS/data tech to ask why it didn't work. They said that they do not support this and that they would not unless they entered into some sort of formal contract with Google. My big question is: what does it take for Verizon to actually give something useful to its users for no extra charge?!

  14. Sex and the Internet on AOL Picks Cable ISP Partners · · Score: 1
    If AOL's sleeping with Juno, it could be possible that they'll eventually move in with United Online.... United Online, the planned result of the merger of Juno and Netzero, will be the second largest internet access provider in the US (second to you-know-who).

    Just a thought.
