  1. Re:No love for Krull? on Movie Composer James Horner Dies In Plane Crash · · Score: 1

    Riding the Fire Mares was always (since I was a kid) one of my favourite pieces by Horner. I am truly saddened by his passing and I'll always keep celebrating his life's work. Good bye Maestro.

  2. Re:Hmmmm. on Wine 1.2 Released · · Score: 1

    But DirectX 10 on Windows XP is impossible!, MS said so.

  3. Re:I want my VERTICAL resolution back on HDTV Has Ruined the LCD Market · · Score: 1

    Get one of those 30" and mount it vertically. It makes for an awesome /. reading platform... specially awesome if you've got another 30" next to it in landscape mode :)

  4. For all the negatives... on When PC Ports of Console Games Go Wrong · · Score: 1

    ... here is a positive: Colin McRae's Dirt2: the game feels so polished on the PC that I'd think it was designed for it.

    Another negative: NFS shift: there's no way to avoid watching the 10 second or so video clip at the start and re-start of every race if you don't press the 'A' button... which it seems cannot be mapped to the keyboard or to a button on a non-xbox controller... very annoying when trying and re-trying to get a race right.

    Tip: With the pinnacle game profiler program and enough patience you can customize your controller to cover for the lack of attention the game developers put on the port to the PC.

  5. Re:What a nightmare. on Carriers, Manufacturers Are Strangling Android · · Score: 1

    Chair was literally thrown out of Microsoft, so Google hired it, it is a good chair after all.

  6. Re:Is it live, or is it Memorex on Time To Ditch Cable For Internet TV? · · Score: 1

    With Hulu/Netflix, I can't skip the ads. Since there aren't 6 of them every 12 1/2 minutes...

    Not yet. Let the thing get popular enough, let TV get unpopular enough and let's see in a few years.

  7. Icon on US Postal Service Moves To GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    Yay, now this icon I made some years ago has become more relevant: http://www.linuxcentral.com/_v3/_site_components/html/data_box/left_gray_box/hdr-newsletter.gif

  8. Great on Watch TV On Your Satnav · · Score: 2, Insightful

    More distractions for drivers will eventually mean more cyclists being killed on the road. Looking on the bright side, this could accelerate the eventual transition towards having computers assume control of vehicles on the streets.

  9. Re:Suprise? on Phenom IIs, Core I7-920 Win Out In Value Analysis · · Score: 1

    Shouldnt plural be Penomeae II or something?

  10. Electric Jet engines, anyone? on New Electrode Lets Batteries Charge In 10 Seconds · · Score: 1

    This could mean the tech basis for future electric jet engines, right?

  11. answer on Whatever Happened To The Joystick? · · Score: 1

    Was shrunk and included within a more complete input set: the game pad.

  12. Irony... on Stallman Attacked by Ninjas · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because the minutes of the debate are in .DOC format.

  13. I do streamrip... on Web Radio Negotiations Carry Poison Pill · · Score: 1

    It helps me have some hours of radio stored for whenever Im working and don't have a reliable connection, I also use the saved streams to put on the ipod to take out cycling, very handy.

    The correct word is "Tatars"
