  10. Re:"1 ounce = 1 Tablespoon" on Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer · · Score: 1

    Well, I was wrong, 1 T = 1/2 ounce
    But it is standardized here in the U.S.

  11. Re: Metric System on Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer · · Score: 1
    Of course, even better would be a system based on, say, 128 units.

    1 Gallon = 128 fluid ounces.

  12. Re: Metric System on Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer · · Score: 1
    And how often does an average person need do a cubic inch to ounce conversion?

    You are more likely to convert fluid volume to weight. And 1 ounce water = 1/16 of a pound.

  18. Gamespy is really stretching on The Seven Deadly Sins Of The N-Gage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The arthor really had to strech to come up with seven complaints about the N-Gage. 1. Second-Hand library - a fair wrap
    2. Bad screen orientation - a fair wrap
    3. Game change chaos - fair, but it will be fixed in the next N-Gage model this year
    4. Talking Taco - now this is a strech - does this really bother people?
    5. Pricey - It's pricey compared to a GBA, but about right for a a Symbian phone. Remember, it does more than play games.
    6. Not A Pretty (Inter)face - Another bad argument. If you are not used to any kind of UI, you are not going to like it at first. The UI is consistent with other Series 60 phones from Nokia and other vendors
    7. N-Gage vs. Goliath - It's fair to compare the N-Gage to the GBA, except the comparision is just a rehash of argument #1. But the PSP is vaporware. And the Zodiac? Please.
