  2. Re:Can't Access from a non-Mac on WebMail Beta II Available · · Score: 2

    do not access it via iTools. use a direct link, webmail.mac.com it works on my win95 boxen at work... and my win 98 boxen at home... and my OSX boxen at home.

  3. so... on US Govt Wants to Control ICANN? · · Score: 1, Troll

    how much is Micro$ofty paying for this one? i assume its part of their plot for world domination, but i could be wrong.

  4. Re:This vsCGI on Matrix Reloaded Filming Wants to Shut Sydney Down · · Score: 2
    the entire environment was cg i believe. they filmed on a stage with blue screen and foam and wires and such, but the set was built to match the computer model of the set. in the end the camera moves on set were inputed into the computer giving an exact motion match for the background, the two parts were then composited, digitaly i assume, together.

    so this may not have been the greatist example, but it is an excellent example of seamless cgi integration into a scene. Just because its cgi dosent mean that its entirely cgi.

  5. Re:This vsCGI on Matrix Reloaded Filming Wants to Shut Sydney Down · · Score: 4, Insightful

    this is the stuff that cgi cannot replace, the realism just wouldnt be there, now the fight scene at the subwaystation, thats what cgi is for.

  6. possible use... on IBM Reinvents Punch Cards · · Score: 3, Insightful
    if its durable ernough (there are moving parts) i can see this being used by ther military since they would obviously last through an EMP blast. perfect for high density long term archiving. maybe we will all have on embeded in us and it wil contain our DNA table so in an emergency doctors can administrate gene therapy?

    just thinkin

  7. oh really... on Spoofing P2P Networks as Marketing Plot · · Score: 5, Funny

    and i thought they were just boring repetitive songs, you know, like the ones they play on the radio too. i think the RIAA is to blame for those as well.

  8. PowerPC? on Ask Ransom Love about UnitedLinux · · Score: 2

    Since SuSE has a PPC distrob, will this too fall under the UL blanket. i know there is not a lot of binary support for the platform, i am wondering if your binarys will also be PPC?

  9. Re:Line by Line Responce on PC Users Switch to Apple · · Score: 2
    There are applications just as good as iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iTunes for the PC.

    are they first party software or third, and do they come with the computer or are they aftermarket, cause there are plenty of third party options for the mac in these areas as well.

  10. Re:Arcade PCBs w/LCD? on Game Boy Advance RGB LCD Project · · Score: 2

    this might provide an alternative to the superguns and novas for home jamma users. my girlfriend has for arcade rigs and spent forever looking for a suitable jamma rig to play them on. cabinated were out of the question but the superguns werent. go to the arcade section to see her current setup

  11. Re:Pretty Cool on Game Boy Advance RGB LCD Project · · Score: 2
    try holding down various button combonations while turning on your old games. their are 89 different color combos i believe. use the d-pad plus either a or b, i think.

    btw i play the tetris that i originally got for my first GB(the huge gray original) more than any of the new GBA games!

    GBA + AfterBurner = $109 roughly

  13. i find it funny when on Game Developers Cracking Down on Cheating · · Score: 1
    people buy a new videogame and the cheat guide to go with it. its like their paying for the fun and then paying you to take away the fun. But it takes to long to win with out a guide they say. guess what, the games were designed to take that long.

    on another note, PSO became unbearable to play online once all of the cowards with their game sharks started cheating. they ruined it for me. i seriously hope they do something about that for PSO2.

    yeah, now im ready for the last board.

  14. to all of those people on The Perfect Store: Inside Ebay · · Score: 2, Interesting
    who say that they can never find what they are looking for, i ask them if theyve tried ebay. mot of the time the response is no, cause if they would have checked it they would have found what theyre looking for.

    for example, all of you people who support emulation because you "cant find" the hardware bullshit, nearly everything in this 70+ system collection was found on ebay. im sorry but ebay has revoked the excuse of obscurity!

  15. im screwed! on Prevent Insecure Booting Of Your Mac · · Score: 2, Funny
    now how am i supposed to install things on the schools macs that i need. the lazy IT department will not install anything, regardless of purpose.

    we hacked an entire room of G4's just to put on our Wacom drivers so we could use our tablets to do homework.

  19. not in the near future on Fuel Cell Car Goes Cross-Country · · Score: 2, Insightful
    being that my job and education are closely tied to the automotive industry, i laugh every time i hear about the next gen of autos comming from detroit. theyre not comming! its all a dog and pony show to get media attention, they are not seriously thinking of producing mass alt vehicles, at least not until they get in bed with another industry other than oil. the oil lobbyists are too strong.

    note that the countries where the oil lobbiests are not strong actually prodice economical cars, eg. Korea, Japan. look who is seriously pushing the next gen cars, Honda and Toyota. the american companies stage these shows so that they dont look too out of touch.

  21. is there anything on Your Online Marketplace for Classified Jet Parts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    as truly american as ebay? its like the worlds largest garage sale. deep under the piles of shit stacked as high as landfills are some rare finds. plus if the gvmnt didnt want them sold they should have kept hold of them in the first place, instead of losing them like the abomb in sum of all fears.

  24. not again on SACD-CD Hybrids -- A Way Out For Us Both? · · Score: 1
    does the music industry realize that they are never , ever, ever going to wipe out piracy. they may make it get out of the reach of the average kid but those that want to will pirate it. people did it with tapes, remember them and the record industry thought it was going to die. hey look it survived. it happened with cds, hey look it survived. its happening with mp3s, hey look its thriving.

    i mean shit, even dreamcast disks are pirated, it took a while but it happened. they will never stop it, the cat will never get back in the bag.

    i quit smoking when the cost (beer) got too high.

    Iceland forsees giving up on oil when the price gets too high.

    we wont run out of oil in 30-40 years, theyll just make it prohibitively expensive to use. remember supply and demand?
