  1. Re:Buy a cheap CRT on Making Old Games Look Good On Modern LCDs? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Actually, forget the pricewatch link, just check ebay. Plenty of 17-19" monitors for well under $100.

  3. Re:Narrow Band detector on First iPhone Worm Discovered, Rickrolls Jailbroken Phones · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised the fact that it disabled the service isn't mentioned front and center - that really means it was written as a service to the community and not to be malicious.

  4. Re:Strategic Visions Inc. != Strategic Visions, LL on Math Indicates Pollster Is Forging Results · · Score: 1

    Wow, I even screwed it up... they're both "Strategic Vision" without the s at the end, and the Good is at http://www.strategicvision.com/

  7. Re:Classic Marketing on Skype's Free Phone Call Plan Will Soon Have Annual Fee · · Score: 1

    I pay $30 a month for unlimited data and 500 anytime minutes + unlimited night and weekend on Sprint - any unlimited data plan is going to cost a bare minimum of $30 a month, and will likely cost 40-60, so I don't know how much you're saving with that setup.

  8. Re:WTF is "the Vole"? on Is the Microsoft/Novell Deal a Litigation Bomb? · · Score: 1

    the Vole is a term coined by The Inquirer to refer to Microsoft. They think they're very clever, they frequently come up with similar witticisms and like to pat themselves on the back for them.

  9. Search for "Tool" on Google Lauded for Accessible Search · · Score: 1

    First hit:

    Tool - Official Site [Flash required]
    www.toolband.com/ - 2k - Cached - Similar pages

    You'd think they'd automatically filter "Flash required" sites out? =)

  10. Kaspersky Anti-Virus is revolutionary on Predicting Malware · · Score: 2, Informative

    For those of you who've never heard of it:

    Kaspersky Anti-Virus is the top of the line when it comes to protecting your system from all current and future virus and malware threats. I was skeptical until I tried it, but it really does work. It protects your system at an extremely low level without degrading performance, preventing the mal in malware, and requiring you to OK the way applications access your system sort of like how ZoneAlarm confirms each time a program accesses the internet. ANY possibly harmful action is checked against and you can set up very complex exception rules, so in a few days all your regular apps are up and running like normal and absolutely nothing slips into your system without you knowing about it.

    No, I don't work for them, just want to share a wonderful product.

  11. Spore-like flash game (Flow) on Spore Is EA's New Ace · · Score: 1

    This feels like some early level of Spore, very fun game.

  12. Re:Eat Your Cake on The Chumbawamba Factor · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Would a judge not side with the police getting stats on drug users to see where they congregate and what kinds of drugs they prefer?

    The RIAA is the one selling, so I guess they're the drug dealers with the bought police in your analogy?

    You mean he recorded a message?

  14. Re:Supports the Hacker Creed on Hackers Forced Announcement of 10th Planet Find · · Score: 1

    You obviously misunderstood the use of the word "wants" in that statement, it has nothing to do with anthropomorphism. The phrase "Information wants to be free" doesn't apply to this situation, but what it really means is that information has a natural tendancy to slip out, to disseminate - to be free. It takes special effort to contain information, by its very nature it wants to be free, just like a river wants to flow, a raindrop wants to fall, etc.

    Ever heard the name "Wendy"? She was a character in a J M barrie book you might have heard of, Peter Pan. The name didn't exist before that book was written, and is commonly accepted now.

  21. Wikipedia on The Coming Atlantic Mega-Tsunami · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here's the Wiki link for a Megatsunami. Here's an excerpt:

    "During an eruption that is anticipated to occur sometime within the next few thousand years the western half of the island, weighing perhaps 500 billion tonnes, will catastrophically slide into the ocean. This will inevitably generate a megatsunami which will travel across the Atlantic and strike the Caribbean and the Eastern American seaboard several hours later with a wave possibly 90 meters (300 feet) high, resulting in massive coastal devastation.

  24. The search tool? on Search Engines for Handwritten Documents · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Somehow I doubt the search tool recognizes the handwritten text... rather, the text has gone through OCR and is stored as a text-only version somewhere, which is what's actually searched through. The OCR isn't done on the fly each time you search.
