  2. about the unstableness.. on Run Windows MCE Applications on Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    mine broke a week ago. the 3 flashing red light syndrome. nothing worked, i tried all of the crazy ideas people were posting, it would just not boot.
    last night i thought id try giving the unit a quick smack on the side of it. well you know what? its been working perfectly ever since.. theres definately something loose, something thats come loose from the expansion/contraction from the heat this thing makes. so anyone out there might want to try this method of bringing it back from the dead. oh and it also figures that today my packing box to send it back finally arrived from microsoft. i think i will be keeping it until it dies again tho.

  3. i was supposed to get a dialog box? on Firefox 1.5 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    what i got today was all of my extensions disapeared. i didnt even know there was a new version out. my extensions list was blank. while fiddling around i tried to update and it then told me there was a new version and so i installed that, but my extensions are still all gone. im in the process of redownloading them all again now. nice bug..

  4. Re:My karma can stand it on Homer Becomes Omar · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Melon Farmers is a reference to the BBC TV cut of "Repo Man" where the words Mother-fucker were replaced by Melon farmer

    On Canadian television, "mother fucker" is often censored to "*blank* fucker". yes, they cut out mother and leave the fucker. Im totally serious.

  7. Re:right... on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 1

    "Actually, every fucking internal webpage in my company doesn't work with firefox. I really can't even explain how they've done it. They're not using ActiveX or other complex technologies, they've just managed to write such terrible code that it flat out doesn't work."

    well +1 for IE then, as it renders bad code better..

    moving from .ca to .com?

    first off, its not leaving .ca so moving is the wrong word. second of all, .com is far from being USA only. id say most of canadian isps, and many in other countries are .com

    Are you saying intel systems are like yugos? Is this why some of the articles are saying its running FASTER than on Apple systems?

  12. Re:Wasn't this obvious? on Butterfly Unlocks Evolution Secret · · Score: 1

    almost all insects start as an egg, then are a worm like creature, then the adult. now think of humans, we start as an egg, then an in between creature as well, in the womb. some things only forming at the end of this cycle. some mammals like kangaroos are born in this in between stage and survive out of the womb. so whats so hard to understand that these worms/caterpillers/grubs/etc are basicly mobile, out of the womb, not fully formed creatures. instead of living in a womb to form into the last stage, they are growing outside on their own. because mammal embryos dont live outside on their own they havent evolved any fancy changes like coloring or other survival characteristics. it seems like a crazy magical step to morph but isnt it also crazy and magical that humans are formed together how they are in a womb as well?

  14. Re:PS3 for $399 on PlayStation 3 to Sell For $399, Going Underground · · Score: 0, Redundant

    your example doesnt work at all. say systems come out every 4 years. 2000 2004 2008. the early adopter buys them the same years they come out. the waiting guy buys them a year after. so in 2001, 2005, 2009. notice anything? theres the same 4 years of play in each case, not 3. your argument assumes the waiter no longer becomes a waiter and is an early adopter the next round making his 4 years into 3. bzzzt, try again.

  19. Re:Year? HDTV Info on FCC Speeds Up Digital TV Signal Deadlines · · Score: 1

    You can complain about artifacts of digital video, but it's still better than the artifacts of analog broadcast.

    it CAN be better, but isnt always.
    because the bottom line is profit, cable companys (at least mine) think that more channels is better, so they compress the hell out of them to fit in more. thus achieving a worse than analog picture.
