  1. Re:But you CAN transfer film to DVD at home on Old Film to DVD Transfers Examined · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seriously, not a bad idea at all. Set up a mic and capture the commentary. Also capture the original audio track directly, either simultaneously, or do another pass for that. Then author the DVD with two tracks -- original or w/commentary. That'd be sure to impress everyone in the family.

    This is exactly the same as when Intel unveiled the Aztec prototypes right after the introduction of the original iMac...

  5. Re:What about Usenet? on MGM v. Grokster: Here's Why P2P is Valuable · · Score: 1

    Pacbell/SBC stopped providing the *.binaries.* groups to subscribers years ago. This wasn't a result of any direct pressure from the MPAA or RIAA as far as I'm aware. However, their stated reason for cutting it off was because of the substantial number of copyrighted works that were available.

    Summed up very nicely by Intel from TFA: "Digital technologies are by their nature copying technologies; there will always be a risk that any digital technology, however well intentioned its designer, will be put to infringing uses."

    Not being familiar with the MIT License (too lazy to RTFL), just wondering what use these libraries could be to projects like the GIMP.

  15. Re:Shuttle... on 5 Simple Steps to a Quieter PC · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have to agree. I bought a shuttle box years ago after every review site seemed to rave about how quiet they were. I got the thing home, put it together and was annoyed by the sound the thing made. My midtower box that I consider noisy as hell was just a whisper next to the shuttle. Naturally, it succumbed to the bad capacitor problem that many of them died from. I hear that the latest generation of shuttles are fairly quiet though. Not sure I trust that, considering it's coming fromt he same sources who said that the one I got was supposedly quiet...

    Actually, you should remove asbestos from that list. The US doesn't need any more of those "frivolous" asbestos lawsuits...

  20. Re:Pioneers get the arrows... on Xbox 2 to Have Wireless Controllers Standard · · Score: 1

    So if the wireless joysticks are standard, does that mean there won't be any joystick "ports" on the box at all?

    This is Microsoft's way of teaching a lesson to all those people who hacked a USB port into their xBoxes.
