  1. Re:But... what? on AT&T Glitch Connects Users To Wrong Accounts · · Score: 1

    I've used m.facebook.com on AT&T across different phones while using my account's SIM card without having to log in again.

  2. Re:Cheating on Blizzcon 2009 Wrap-Up · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Bnet accounts have been tied to CD Key since 1998.

    It's a bit different this time around from what I understood. Each battle.net account will need a unique license, like World of Warcraft, so it's entirely possible that you'll only have one identity per CD key. Maybe they'd let you create multiple profiles to have multiple names, but if one of their goals is to stop lowbie stomping in rated matches, then that makes the inclusion of such a feature unlikely.

  3. Re:About an Autobahn lane projector ? on Bike Projector Makes Lane For Rider · · Score: 1

    A lot of the cyclists also own cars and probably also pay property tax in the city where they bike. Wouldn't it be fair to say that they're already contributing to the road maintenance?

  4. Re:Better than mplayer? on VLC 0.9.9, The Best Media Player Just Got Better · · Score: 1

    Faster H.264 decoding than QT and MPlayer OSX, and better handling of MKVs than Perian+QT and MPlayer OSX. It has given me fewer crashes than the competitors, so I have to stick with it.

    Try look at the second sentence using the same word (different tense) that I did under the second definition.

    They sailed away without effecting their purpose. --Jowett

    "They sailed away without accomplishing their purpose" is another way to write that sentence. In other words, their purpose effected nothing. Nothing came of what they set out to do. It didn't produce anything. I'm not sure how many times I can redundantly state its meaning ;)

    I think "affecting" is more appropriate to use. Instead of "it" being the primary cause/responsible for the crime scene, it would be responsible for altering it/contaminating it.

  6. Re:What about outside the USA? on iPhone Tethering App Released, Killed In 2 Hours · · Score: 1

    Now it costs $30 to add tethering to a 3G plan.

  7. Re:What will happen? on Adobe Photoshop CS4 Will Be 64-Bit For Windows Only · · Score: 1

    I was subject to Mac OS 9 in school. Terrible, terrible garbage. It made me wonder how anyone could actually like that platform, given its utter failure at any sort of responsible multitasking.

  8. Re:Errors on Wikipedia Corrects Encyclopedia Britannica · · Score: 1

    Are you by any chance related to "Priran"? I've seen this same argument before.

  9. Re:another prediction on FCC Approves iPhone · · Score: 1

    You can currently pay a fee to subscribe to MySpace services with Cingular/AT&T. It doesn't interest me, but it seems to be aimed squarely at your students.

  10. Re:Asked why did they fuck up Star Wars Galaxies ? on An Evening With Sony Computer Entertainment · · Score: 1

    I was reasonably sure that Sony's only role was North American GM services, which was discontinued and brought back in-house some time back.

  11. Re:HTPC on 65nm Athlons Debut With Lower Power Consumption · · Score: 1

    Most of the people having problems with realtime H.264 software decoding are using ffmpeg, which simply doesn't do it well (yet). CoreAVC is a faster decoder, but non-free. The other option on Windows-based systems is to use hardware decoding with Radeon X1000 series or whatever the comparable nVidia part is, but I believe software support is limited to Windows Media Player for both the ATI and nVidia solutions.

  12. Re:Is DRM the future? It's certainly the present.. on Bill Would Outlaw Digital Receiver Recorders · · Score: 1

    I was able to play the CD side of With Teeth in Winamp. My laptop considered it, for all intents and purposes, an audio CD. The DVD side I was able to play in VLC. I don't think any malware was installed, as far as I can tell.

  13. Re:thats the point on Radeon 9700 Pro: ATI Ahead · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind the All in Wonder has additional features added to it. In the United States, it retails for about $50 more with the All in Wonder features added. Take a look at this for marketing speak on what it adds.

    I do agree though that it is a lot of money to put down on a graphics card. Look into the Radeon 9500 Pro or just a normal 9700 (not built by ATI) Both are powerful cards that will perform quite well with newer games.
