  1. Re:But how damage-resistant is it? on Kingston Unveils $1000 USB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    African or European

  2. And nothing of value was lost on BD+ Resealed Once Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Time and again the drm has been cracked, why should we think otherwise for this latest iteration. I just don't think enough people are concerned / bothered about it to build up sufficient momentum in the open source arena. The closed source with a paying userbase just hasn't reached critical mass for them to devote enough resource

  3. Re:If you have ever owned one on Why a Hard Disk Is a Better Bargain Than an SSD · · Score: 1

    Check your facts before posting such an ill researched comment

  4. Re:If you have ever owned one on Why a Hard Disk Is a Better Bargain Than an SSD · · Score: 1

    I have 12GB ram on an P6T X58 board with and overclocked Core I7 920, whats your point? I saw an infinitely larger and tangible difference in responsiveness with my SSD than I ever saw with the extra RAM.I never said the eye watering price was for everyone, all I'm saying if that if you have one you would never go back. I multitask fairly heavily and my peak ram usage tops out at about 7-8gb at the very most

  5. Re:If you have ever owned one on Why a Hard Disk Is a Better Bargain Than an SSD · · Score: 1

    I quite agree but fast enough in terms of 'fast enough for me not be be bugged by it and feeling pleasantly responsive'

  6. If you have ever owned one on Why a Hard Disk Is a Better Bargain Than an SSD · · Score: 5, Interesting

    you would know why you would never ever go back for your boot drive, these things are just so night and day faster. Yes it squeezed my budget till it squeaked to get my Intel x25-m (early adopter) but I'd never have anything else now for boot, my Velociraptor went on Ebay after a week of using it. I'm considering a second for raid0 even though as it is it's fast enough (more for the extra space than speed tbh now they have come down in price). Bulk storage is fine for movies etc, but for the OS space mechanical magnetic disks are a dead dead end to me.

  7. Vaporators? on Frank Herbert's Moisture Traps May Be a Reality · · Score: 1

    Sir - My first job was programming binary load lifters... very similar to your vaporators in most respects. ...

  8. Its a logical next step on Ubisoft CEO Expects Set-Top Gaming, New Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    with the signing of Richard Teversham from MS Xbox division and the fact that the hardware spec barrier to entry of the gaming markets has been significantly lowered thanks to the Wii I think the next generation will be a shoe-in for Apple. WIth all the brand awareness they have, how well known they are for ease of use in their devices and the uncanny knack they have for catching the mood of a market and turning it on its head. One fly in the ointment is that I don't think they have the experience for knowing what makes a good game but if they can come up with a new control paradigm like Nintendo who wknows what they could produce. I look forward to seeing what they can offer

  9. Re:Can we on Original Cast On Board For Ghostbusters 3 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Maybe the original cast could be the ghosts.

    Besides, Ghostbusters isn't really an action film. It's a comedy with some effects.

    ya know, I dont think this is a bad idea, the guys could be in the middle of a struggle to put down some nefarious spirit when one of the backpacks overloads and explodes causing a chain reaction with the rest of the guys. Cue big boom and when the dust settles they are all transparent like at the end of Jedi looking at one another and thinking *fuck*

  10. Re:The Egyptians said it best: on A History of Storage, From Punch Cards To Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    No it "Would you like to come back to my place, bouncy bouncy" as denoted by the dual cat heads

  11. The G Ring mystery on New Moon Found In Saturn's G-Ring · · Score: 1

    Can easily be solved with string theory :-D

  12. Mid tower expandable mac? its already here on Apple Store Reopens With Many New Products · · Score: 1

    You can have it now, just get an EFI-X module, I have a mid tower Mac I put together myself using one, whole thing didnt come to more than £300, most expensive part in it was the EFI-X module itself, I have build hackintoshes in the past but the module takes away all the pain of kext and plist tomfoolery.I'm really pleased with it

  16. Re:Vista is #10? on Vista Makes CNET UK's List of "Worst Consumer Tech" · · Score: 1

    Strange how this was conveniently forgotten for the HD-DVD add on for the non Elite Xbox 360's which are COMPLETELY INCAPABLE of providing a secure path, yet they inflict it on Vista users. hardly a level playing field when they enforce rules when it suits the,

  18. Re:Chipset & Board marriage on NVIDIA's 680i SLI Chipset Ready for Primetime · · Score: 1

    you obviously haven't tried to build a core2 duo system on the intel made 965 board, *shivers* www.intel.com/products/motherboard/DP965LT/index.h tm release bios was a pig, worst mobo experience since the hideous via chipsets of the socket a athlon era (seriously!) works ok now though, but took them 3 goes to get the bios in shape
