  3. Re:There ARE specific titles! on Sony Sells Defective, Damaging CDs in Eastern Europe · · Score: 1

    I thought that gap was because there was fifteen minutes of silence before a hidden track of sorts, and you could actually see it.

  6. Re:What's news about this? on Canada Post Kills Free Internet-For-Life Program · · Score: 1

    well then you found the exception and not the rule. Many other free providers would actually use DUN and then require some banner software to authenticate or else they dropped the connection. I'm sure with enough know-how you could hack the client to only authenticate and download banners but not actually display anything, but if you can do that then you should be able to get a job and just pay fer yer access.... Hehehehe.

  7. Re:What's news about this? on Canada Post Kills Free Internet-For-Life Program · · Score: 1

    Dude, you dont know what the hell you are talking about. Free ISPs have the worst latency imagineable and the modem-to-user pool is always extremly low. And NO, you cannot just use DUN because its pretty hard to stay online when you dont have the software running the properly authenticate you with the banner servers. They just are not that stupid.

  8. Problem on IP Telephony Hardware Stretching Toward Home Users · · Score: 1

    I don't know if its been mentioned before but there is a big problem with doing voip at the home: The telcos themself. Most people don't realize that the contract/AUP of the dsl line you get from one of your baby bells says that you cannot use this high-speed internet technology to circumvent the telephone network. If this stuff is to become pervasive the telephone networks might start enforcing this real hard.

  9. Re:I like those boot messages on Linus Says No To Annoying Boot Messages · · Score: 1

    You want to know what windows does? Hold F8 *before* you see the first windows splash screen and you will get a menu. Pick step-by-step confirmation.
    You will get to watch each step and see how long things are taking. You also have the option of logging it all.

  10. Intresting correlation... on Signs of the Apocalypse · · Score: 1

    Hmm, all I can think of is the episode of the simpsons where they were in japan and Homer buys a square watermellon. He starts walking down the street where the mellon popped back to its round shape, and Homer drops it and says "D'oh!"

  11. what ever happened to... on Building a Plutonium Memorial · · Score: 1

    I may be totally full of it but I rember one of my more free-thinking teachers telling me that originally the gubnit planned on taking all the spent fuel from nuclear power plants and refining it into new fuel rods, discarding all spent waste. Supposedly they halted this plan because it would put weapons grade plutonium in the hands of private plant operators. So instead of recycling fuel until it is gone, we leave it sitting around to be a big mess.

  12. Re:Ugh on KDE Gesture Control · · Score: 1

    aww come on man! It doesn't take much to realize that punishing the creature makes it stop if you do it enough times. If he is holding food and you punish him (perhaps that 'food' is a villager) he will learn not to eat that food.

  13. Re:PCGAMER on Myst III: Exile Review · · Score: 1

    I don't know why you think B&W should get such a low score. I have yet to encounter any show-stopping bugs as you've described, but I guess I just dont get the urge to re-install windows and all my games every once in a while. On sheer gameplay alone B&W deserves a 90% in my book. Its one of the most entertaning games I've played in a while (after learning how to play the game). If B&W came out of some nobody publisher it wouldda knocked their socks off...

  14. PCGAMER on Myst III: Exile Review · · Score: 1

    Michael, apparently you dont read PC gamer. Yes it is a windows game mag, but your 'reviewing' a windows game. Flip through the magazine some time and see how hard they pan certian titles while reserving the best score for only those who truly deserve it. I have found their reviews consistent and reliable and I bet in the next issue or two when they review this game they will give it a score of about 70 percent, which translates into 'Tolerable.'

  15. SPAMcop on Above.net Blackholes, Unblackholes Macromedia · · Score: 2

    I get my fair share of spam. I report all to spamcop for processing. Many messages get examined and the IPs get sent to ORBS for possible blocking and such. The part where macromedia comes in is when spam, in HTML, has flash. There is the url in the html telling the browser where to get the appropriate plugin. Spamcop picks up on this and reports it as a spam-related service...

    Do you work for hormel? Because every time this topic comes up you post that exact same message.

    Yah, but talk to the employees. They will tell you that you only drop about 30 degrees while using this case. $200 for 30 degrees of cooling is a bit much for me.

  18. Re:spam on The One-Week All-Spam Diet · · Score: 1

    I hate to break it to you but it is virtually impossible for x-10 to loose any money as the margins they have on the product is astronomical. They have their own factories in hong kong (or wherever it is) and can build all their products for pennies! They make SO much money its not even funny.

    Thats why the new phone includes a *speakerphone*.

  20. Re:Hidden Fortress on A Host Of Star Wars Bits · · Score: 2

    You forgot one of the most copied scenes *ever*. The bandits in seven samuari that come cresting over a hillside at the start of the attack. That whole scene of them pouring over the hill was INVENTED by Akira Kurosawa and copied by just about every battle film ever since.

    Good luck finding people who want M*A*S*H on dvd! People who grew up with that show (my dad) are nearly as a whole sick of the show. Not because it was a bad show but becuse they have all seen every episode like 10 times (its one of the more frequently played re-runs).
    While they are at it they might as well throw a Stairway to Heaven track...
