  1. Re:Uh oh... on G4 Drops TechTV Name · · Score: 1

    You nailed this right on. I cancelled my SP for TSS as soon as they ditched Alex, Yoshi, etc. Now, I've removed 354 (G4) from the channels I receive list on my DirecTivo.

  2. Sorta old news on Belkin Offering Pre-802.11N Products · · Score: 1

    This product was reviewed back in October in PC Magazine. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1668063,00.as p This seems a little like old news.

  3. But MS Anti Spyware doesn't detect itself. on MS AntiSpyware vs Ad-Aware vs. SpyBot · · Score: 1, Funny

    The new spynet feature is pretty blatantly spyware itself.

  4. Re:Firefox vs. IE, missing features 2.0... on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 1

    You should look into modifying your UserChrome.css, UserContent.css and User.js files to accomplish even more customization. A good reference is at Flii's page: http://flii.us/myworks/phoenix/

  5. Re:Firefox desserves this... on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 1

    Actually Firefox 0.1 was released on September 23, 2002 and you can still get it here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/phoenix/rel eases/0.1/ I started using the Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox browser with that 0.1 release and have never looked back.

  6. Take the Job you don't want. on Recent Grads and Experience Beyond the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    The plain truth is that everyone wants those great and glorious jobs, but with no experience you aren't going to get them. So get some experience in the market doing the job you don't want. I just went through a process of interviewing several "just out of high school" kids for a deployment/upgrade job. We offered one a base entry level position because he had education but zero experience. The rate was $10/hr. Not great, but beats the $7.50 he would get bagging groceries. And if he turned out to be solid, he could quickly rise up. Instead, he wanted to haggle on price because he thought he was worth more. Guess what? there were three other people in line just hoping for anything and now one of them works for us and the whiz kid is still looking. Take the job you don't want and work your way up to the job you do want.

  7. Re:Keep Continuity. PLEASE Don't Make It Stupid Su on Star Wars Episode III : Birth Of The Empire · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anyone who actually uses the name "Anny" to refer to Anakin Skywalker is disqualified from criticizing these movies. And it's not Ben, it's Obi-Wan. He was only called Ben during his time of hiding out and watching over the growing young Skywalker on Tatooine. Sorry, but we've got to keep continuity

  8. Re:Star Trek Elite Force on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 1

    Elite Force was the first online FPS I ever played. It may just be nostalgia, but I don't think any other online game since has been as fun for me. I spent countless hours with EF. There was a type of deathmatch that gave everybody one weapon, one life and unlimited ammo. This was the best (as long as you ended up with grenade launcher or photon blast). I miss those days(nights really).

  9. Can this interface with SPOT technology? on A Linux Machine For Your Collar · · Score: 1

    micro-SAMBA?

  10. Prediction: Survivor: Trip to Mars on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    In season 10, Mark Burnett's wildly popular Survivor series will take a giant leap for mankind. In the newest twist, contestants vie to vote each other off the planet!

  11. fanboys on Narnia to be Created in New Zealand · · Score: 1

    how long before talkbacks and slashdot are crawling with narnia vs. tolkien vs. matrix vs. star wars fanboys?

    can't we all just get along?

  12. Re:What? on Interview with Peter Jackson on LoTR Bloopers · · Score: 1

    The Pippen one is the one I always notice and never hear about. The only way I've justified in my mind is that the cutting of the bonds happened, the horse rear-up follows, then Pippen goes to Merry and cuts his bonds. The good thing about flashbacks is that you can make leaps in your mind about when things are happening :)

  14. Re:This is obviously a fake! on Two Towers Teaser Trailer · · Score: 1

    upon closer inspection, i must stand corrected

  15. This is obviously a fake! on Two Towers Teaser Trailer · · Score: 1

    It's obvious this is a tele sync from the preview at the end of LOTR with new voice over and some good editing. This is fake. New Line, Apple and lordoftherings.net would have this all over if it were real. Look, there's not one single scene that is not available from the preview. It does look good though... makes the fan Episode II trailer look like kindergarten.
