  1. Re:Option to use the old UI? on Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    UI, not AI. D'oh.

  2. Re:Option to use the old UI? on Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    When I installed it, it defaulted to the old AI, probably due to how I have the bars rearranged (I have bookmarks on my menu bar). I had to move the tab bar back down, but that was a simple right-click option.

  3. Re:Why OSX? on Steam UI Update Beta Drops IE Rendering For WebKit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Give it time.

  4. Re:I actually kind of miss the old combat system on Review: Mass Effect 2 · · Score: 1

    I must be the only person that didn't have ammo problems. I'm hitting the final boss now, and for the first time I'm running seriously low on everything. Part of that has to do with me being too damn chicken to pop over a barrier and run over to where I killed a few guys. You'll find yourself running low on sniper and maybe pistol ammo, sure, but there's always "thermal clips" laying around to pick up.

  5. Re:I've read physics papers by business majors... on Avataritis — On the Abundance of Customizable Game Characters · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points.

  6. Not quite right on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sounds less like ditching tabs, and more like adding grouping. Make it optional, and I don't see a problem.

  7. Re:memento flag on Remote Kill Flags Surface In Kindle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Speed Reading Mode could actually be kind of fun, assuming it could be toggled.

  8. Re:Didn't XP ship with 6? on IE8 Released As Critical Update For XP · · Score: 1

    Ugh... tell me about it. Where I work, I need to code to make sure it works on IE6. PITA.

  9. Re:You must mean the iPhone on Windows 7 Starter Edition — 3 Apps Only · · Score: 1

    Same phone here, with similar results. The only thing I always have open is Outlook with push email, which does knock down the battery life a bit, however. Beyond that, I rarely need to yank the battery to restart. Can't say I've had it on for weeks though, as I do utilize both batteries so it shuts down when I do that.

  10. Re:How about DRM? on GameStop Selling Games Played By Employees As New · · Score: 1

    You're not expecting NEW product at Blockbuster though. When I worked there (about 6 years ago), it wasn't grounds for termination if you were late bringing it back, but you did pay a late fee, IIRC.

  11. Um on Nintendo Reveals New Wii Controller · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It doesn't look like a Wiimote replacement. If anything, it's a Classic Controller with grips slapped on. The summary makes it seem like it's to replace the Wiimote.

  12. Re:bah on Left 4 Dead DLC, SDK Announced · · Score: 1

    You could try reading the summary again.

  13. Re:FFS on The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy · · Score: 1

    Better gameplay experience?

  14. Re:Holy Crap, Gurren Lagann was right! on Spiraling Magnetic Signal Shows Up In the Cosmic Background · · Score: 1

    First thing I thought too!

  15. Re:Great! on Playing Tetris Is Good For You · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Gameboy one was always the go-to version for me.

  16. Re:FFS on The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is an investment, just not one with a monetary payout.

  17. 12/100? on A First Look At Internet Explorer 8 RC1 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    IE6.5 gets a 12/100 on the Acid3 test if you let it sit for a few moments. No, seriously. I wish I was kidding.

  18. Re:About time! on Black Hole At Center of Milky Way Confirmed · · Score: 1

    That may not even work. I'll admit, my knowledge of astronomy and astrophysics isn't exactly comprehensive, but I'd think a black hole would create a lensing effect. Essentially, we'd be seeing what's behind the hole. I suppose the distortion this would cause could be observable, however.

  19. Re:Portal on Examining Portal's Teleportation Code · · Score: 1

    No, actually it wouldn't. You're not moving across space between the Portals, the fabric of space-time is contorting to connect those two points. So, you're only stepping across a narrow threshold, even if those portals are miles apart.

  20. Re:I hate... on Batman Discussion · · Score: 2, Informative

    Uncle Ben is the only one that stays dead. Bucky came back ages ago as Winter Soldier, I think he's filling Cap's shoes now. Jason Todd is the new Red Hood.

  21. Re:Go Satellite instead... on HD Radio Recording In the US? · · Score: 1

    Except, you know, HD Radio is free to recieve, as opposed to having a monthly fee. If you listen to enough radio to justify the monthly cost, more power to you. I suspect subby, like myself, doesn't.

  22. Just say no to the SFBC on Decent Book Clubs for Sci-Fi Fans? · · Score: 1

    Trust me. I was a member for a while, the prices aren't terrible, but if you're like me you prefer paperback anyhow, and they're almost entirely hardcover. Plus, the Featured Selections are a pain if you forget to cancel them.

  23. 250? on Comcast Floats a 250GB Monthly Bandwidth Limit · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Frankly, I'll be glad if they name a cap instead of this nebulous one they may or may not have, and may or may not enforce. And 250GB is pretty good, uTorrent downloads near-constantly for me, and I think I'd have trouble hitting that. That's about 8GB a day.

  24. Re:Face Bank ? on 10 Cool Gadgets You Can't Get Here · · Score: 1

    That they do, they're tough buggers, but ugly and huge. Reception isn't the greatest on them either.

  25. Re:Anti-gravity tech on The Age of the Airship Returns? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You must have missed the memo, Carter was promoted to Colonel a few years ago, and recently got appointed head of the Atlantis Expedition, so she's not even in this galaxy ATM. Also, Area 51 is not part of the Stargate program, though they do work together. Finally, I don't believe they were working on anti-grav tech.
