  1. Re:Don't celebrate too much on iPod's Two-Year Anniversary · · Score: 1

    "At BASF, we don't make the portable hard drive MP3 player you buy; we make the portable hard drive MP3 player you buy better" :P

  2. Re:album cover art on iTunes for Windows Reviews · · Score: 1

    Why just cover art anyways? You can throw in scans of the back or the liner notes too. Makes sense to me

  3. Re:Benchmarks with 8GB Ram on Apple's Dual 2GHz By The Numbers · · Score: 1

    Install Linux on all three and go to town

    Not such a good idea since everyone complained about Apple using GCC 3.3 across the board for the P4 and dual Xeon machines... 64 bit linux would be great to see running on those machines, but I can't think that it would add too much to an already huge number of tests. Give the linux guys more time too with the G5 hardware to squeeze every MHz out of the machines.

    Although maybe I am not making any sense like everyone in #macintosh says...

  4. Re:more than 35 trillion per square meter of Earth on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 5, Funny

    Pardon me. The ACTUAL number is:
    Three hundred forty undecillion two hundred eight-two decillion three hundred sixty-six nonillion nine hundred twenty octillion nine hundred thirty-eight septillion four hundred sixty-three sextillion four hundred sixty-three quintillion three hundred seventy-four quadrillion six hundred seven trillion four hundred thirty-one billion seven hundred sixty-eight million two hundred eleven thousand four hundred fifty-six.

    Or just: 340 282 366 920 938 463 463 374 607 431 768 211 456

  5. Re:more than 35 trillion per square meter of Earth on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 1

    3.4 x 10^38 theoretical IPv6 addresses does have a name for the number: 340 decillion.

  6. Re:Medieval on Dragon Warrior VIII Details Revealed · · Score: 1

    The Dragon Quest game you are talking about that caused all the commotion, was Dragon Quest III. Every game in the series after that had to be released on a weekend or holiday (and they still do).

    Another thing: Dragon Quest VII wasn't just the best selling PlayStation game of all time in Japan, it is the second best selling video game of all time in Japen on ANY platform. I believe the game has sold at least 4.09 million copies. The previous number two game was Tetris for GameBoy at 4.06 million copies. The number one game? Super Mario Bros. for NES. 6.18 million copies. Unless something drastic happens (like say only one game can come out every year), that record will not be beaten any time soon.

    Btw, the website I have listed is strictly a Dragon Quest news site. Hopefully, we will get to go to E3 next year and hopefully I will be able to import the new Dragon Quest game you swing a plastic sword to play. (That is, if I can ever find somewhere to import it)

    I sure wish I had a Japanese friend though... I REALLY want a slime doll.... :P

  7. Re:Not quite the right name on Animal Crossing+ Japanese Details Revealed · · Score: 1

    No mod points for me since I am late to the party, but Animal Forest e+ is the english translation of the title. One look at http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ngc/gaej/index.html will tell you that.
    Animal Forest was an N64 game that you could buy with or with out a memory card (the cart had an EPROM - memory card was for those train visits to other towns) and iirc was the only cart with a clock in it. Animal Forest + was the "rerelease" of the game and added a few more features.
    The biggest reason why Animal Forest e+ would have e-reader support and Animal Forest + didn't? The e-reader for Japan only recently had a hardware revision that included a communication port in the e-reader. Its essentially the US e-reader anyways...

    (Surprisingly, that IGN Insider crap isn't too bad [since they have an eight part series on Animal Forest])

  8. Wild and visionary? on Biofeedback Gaming · · Score: 1

    Already been thought of loooong ago (eg. 20 years ago)
    I give you... *drum roll* The MindLink for the Atari 2600!

  9. Other upgrades on Updated eMac Line Released Today · · Score: 4, Informative

    You also get an Airport Extreme wireless slot and iTunes 4 included along with the rest iLife. I think the bus speed has been bumped up to 133, but I could be wrong about that

  10. iTunes 4 and the missing audio format... on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1

    Why the heck isn't ogg supported by iTunes 4? I seem to recall Apple liking open source software before...

  11. Apple Store Improvements on New iBooks and Apple Store · · Score: 1

    You can now control-click (or right-click) on the image maps on the main store site, select open page in new tab (or window) and it opens the page you want instead of doing nothing or opening the same page...

    Don't believe me? Compare and contrast:
    New Apple Store: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/A ppleStore/
    Old Apple Store (in the form of Canada's Apple Store): http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/c anadastore

  12. I'm jealous... on GZipping Life Forms: Deflate Reveals Bare-Bones · · Score: 1

    ...that I am not a unix user.

    Where is .sit? I thought you people became mac users! :P

  13. Um... on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    I really don't know this for sure, but luckily there is a tremendously low chance of anyone being able to prove me wrong.

    I don't think Saddam Hussein is a bad person. The reason? I have never met him.

    What is the chance of me actually meeting him? None. Should I form an opinion based on whatever I hear? I choose not too.

    He might be flawed. Perhaps only to the extent that you and I are flawed. Perhaps more or less. Who really knows?

    I think he loves his family. He wants to protect his family and make their lives happy and prosperous just as I would when I start a family.

    I could be totally wrong and I won't mind admitting I am wrong if that is the case.

  14. Your MP probably doesn't get it... on Bad News From Canada On NetTV And Media Levies · · Score: 1

    More than likely your MP is just reciting the Canadian Alliance policy on bills introduced by the Liberal Party: Oppose them. Who knows what the CA would do if they were in power (which wouldn't happen because of Stockwell "Doris" Day, IMO), but it sure would be nice to think of them as competent... I know Bob Mills is at least so there is one.... *shrugs*

  15. My first MMORPG... on MMORPGs, Are You There Yet? · · Score: 1

    ...will be Final Fantasy XI. I just hope that there will be less morons online with the added cost of the game. Until the PC version is released *sigh*

    If somehow FFXI doesn't make it here, .hack will be my first MMORPG ;P

    My Moderator points just disappeared when I was using them. It says "Use them or lose them", not "Use them and lose them" *sigh*

  16. What she downloads... on Partitioning Bandwidth Using Mac OS X? · · Score: 1, Funny

    She isn't studying that Ellen Feiss ad so she can win the 2003 North American Ellen Feiss Look-a-like bleep bleep bleep bleep Contest? You know the one where after the first round, like, half the contestants lose... which is kinda... a bummer...

    At least the girls (if there are any) in the contest are shaven... Unlike In Soviet Russia....

  17. 10.2.2 Kernel Panic on Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.2.3 · · Score: 1

    Does this update fix the silly kernel panic?

  18. The Dynamic (aka Digital) Duo said this on When to Buy Technology Goods? · · Score: 1

    "Buy a new computer if you needed it yesterday"

  19. Possible cause... on Earth's Gravitational Field Is Getting Flatter · · Score: 1

    "The cause has yet to be determined, but it is assumed changes in ocean levels are responsible."

    Sounds more like an effect of the Earth getting flatter to me...

  20. Certainly not the first... on The Nokia 7650 Cell Phone w/ Integrated Camera · · Score: 1

    My cousin has had a phone with a camera that she got from Japan for at least 18 months... I wonder if a local provider can hook it up to the cellular network here... It also has a cool programmable ring tone that has a music staff and a bunch of different musical instruments... I bet that Nokia isn't a MIDI machine ;)

  21. Never without Google on AllTheWeb Claims Bigger Index Than Google · · Score: 0

    Google is my god. If google doesn't have information, it either doesn't exist or shouldn't exist. I think AllTheWeb is just trying to push quantity over quality just like Microsoft with the XBox and Pentium 4's pipeline depth. *sighs*
