  1. Re:Target: foot. Fire! on Microsoft Banning Modded Xboxen · · Score: 1

    can someone please tell me if there are actual working cheats out there? I mean everyone is bitching that Mod Chips = Cheating but I haven't seen any evidence of that at all. Am I wrong? Are there cheats out there? Or is it just a bunch of FUD?

    I'm going to print that comment out and Xerox it for everyone in the office so they can Blu-tac it to their walls.

    Hey I think we all need to remember that in a blindfolded group sex situation there is a chance that your wang will touch another guys that just isn't worth the fun.

    I wouldn't risk it.

    For me personaly the security issues with Firefox have always seemed a lot less dangerious then with those of Internet Explorer. What especialy annoys me about Internet Explorer is its constant ability to be infected with various toolbars and browser hijackers and dialers. These things are automaticaly installed in a lot of cases and, correct me if i'm wrong, firefox doesn't have vunerabilies to the same extent that are as wide spread.

    I don't typicaly get these things installed unless it is an automaticaly installing problem however my friends and family all had problems with Internet Explorer getting bogged down with this crap. I know once I install firefox I'll have a lot less crap to clean up when I next fix their computers.

    No... thats what he wants you to do, it was the plan all along with his so called "Resignation"

  6. Re:Get a clue on California Takes A Last Swing At VoIP · · Score: 1

    Can I seriously ask why they need to wiretap VOIP conversations? Now I'm not sure but I'm reasonably sure that this "Interweb" thing makes a number of nonvocal ways to communicate between computers. If only there was a way to somehow use these communications to transmit say... text... to another person who could then read them... Imagine the possiblilitys for terrorism!!!

    I think that the world would definitly be a safer place if they wiretapped all internet connections... everywhere!

    Yeah, a large pixilated mass is much better then ultra fine graphics on a screen this is roughly the same size anyway due to you being much closer to the monitor. And at that resolution you would be able to actually see things that are more then 10 metres away.

    It is entirely possible a right wing zeolot submitted the story, abusing weaknesses in the "moderators never actually consider the rationality of what they post" system.

    I suppose the same could be said about the black plague, small pox, AIDs and Cancer.

  10. Re:Aren't we missing something? on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I replaced the laser in my playstation with one from a Sony portable cd player. They have the same connector and it wasn't too hard to bodgy up the proper mounting. Plus it has the added bonus of reading cdrw's now.

  11. Re:MPAA Shouldn't be losing money. on Interview with MPAA Chief Dan Glickman · · Score: 1

    You know they have these things called Xboxes right?

    They are really nifty devices once they are modded. You just download Xbox Media Centre and watch all your movies on your HUGE projector screen.

    Seriously I don't even play games on mine, and it has replaced my DVD player.

  12. Re:As someone who isn't a US citizen... on How has the USA PATRIOT Act Affected You? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have to second that, as I child I always want to go to the USA, see disney land and so on. I got older and realised the Disney trip was probably not going to happen however I still wanted to go there and see the sights, perhaps even study there or get a Utah prostitution license to take home as a souvenir.

    But then this crap, I'm an Australian, our country is aparently part of the "Coalition of the willing" yet if I went to America I would have my fingerprints taken and probably my DNA. I know for a fact I would have trouble getting through customs and so on.

    My guess is that America will have a tourism downturn in the future, and this crap will be the cause of it.

  13. Re:Large caches on Latest SCSI Drive Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I've often thought that a CD rom would be cool if you could plug a 512meg ram stick in the back above the IDE connector, you could basicaly cache almost all your cd in one go.

    That would be a fast cdrom.

    China is on top because of their slave labour and corrupt government. If china's wages went up the jobs would go somewhere else.

    Don't equate production with profits, I seriously doubt the money is staying in china.

    Whilst I agree that they are cheaper I like to keep my movies on 700mb disc simply to avoid keeping all my eggs in the same basket.

  20. Re:Then again on More on the Dangers of eVoting · · Score: 1

    Am I right in assuming that voting day will happen on a weekday? Is this a public holiday or not? If not how can people vote if they are at work? Would'nt there be a disproportianate amount of stay at home mums and retirees and unemployed citizens voting?

    Just more on the "give us good reason why you didn't vote"

    Good reason is very flexable, a post election issued doctors certificate will be fine. My friend didn't have to pay becasue she didn't know when the election was (its not hard to miss it if you don't watch tv or listen to the radio, for some reasons candidates never put dates on their propaganda). Also in the recient local elections no fines were collected because the amount to be collected would cost more to chase up.
