  1. Re:Tourisme on FBI Widens Use of National Security Letters · · Score: 1

    Kind of funny I just came back to the states from Canada on a visit. Getting into Canada was fairly easy, I have no passport just birth cert and govt ID. Coming back was fun, I got the full extra search/pat down coming back into the states, I was told this was because, get this, I had no carry on luggage. All I had was my wallet, cell phone, pants, shirt I had on. Apparently this means I need extra searching. I found that highly amusing. Plus US customs grilled me about 10X worse then Canadian, which was easy.

  2. Re:My View... on Why Have PDAs Failed In The iPod Era? · · Score: 1

    Different situation mainly, but this is why I love my PocketPC.

    Can watch TV shows or Movies easily on the go without having to pull out the laptop. Plus it's less noticeable at work to use then laptop for those reasons. Betaplayer was simple to install and get working. My father got his working easily who has had problems logging into hotmail before.

    Love the emulators. SNES, NES, GBA, etc. Granted the only problems I've had are rare GBA games. Oh and load up a PSX game on that PocketPC. Lots of problems playing PSX games, but lots do work.

    With Bluetooth it's easier to copy something to my PocketPC to watch later then would be to get my Laptop out.

    But not for everyone I guess.

  3. Re:Xbox not better "in every measurable sense" on Xbox Division Down $4 Billion · · Score: 1

    The A-List titles is arguable, but you left out the whole Online aspect which is to me HUGE, as I love it. It might be louder but I sure don't notice any noise when it's in use. Plus on the audio aspect which I rarely hear, the games on Xbox in full digital surround sound tons better then the games on GC. That I have experienced anyway.

  4. Re:Microsoft vs. Nintendo on Xbox Division Down $4 Billion · · Score: 1

    Gamecube is profitable? Thought Nintendo was posting some bad numbers last I heard. Plus, I think it's the GBA that's keeping them in the profit, I'd like to see how it is based on just gamecube.

    But to each their own, I love my Xbox and gave my Gamecube to my parents. They love that Mario Kart.

    Or sit in a "stress" aka painful position. Or go blindfolded in a room just listening to static in headphones. How about you try either of those and see how well you do?

    Oh and how many of them were turned in for a cash reward?

  6. Re:All I want for Christmas... on Making XBox Live Less Horrifying · · Score: 1

    They need to add it so I can join matchs with only people who do not have negative feedback, etc. Also need a way to leave feedback to whole team/everyone playing that it was agood match.

  7. Re:Headline GROSSLY misleading on Nintendo Quarterly Profits Down 80% · · Score: 1

    Sony and MS can lose money. Nintendo's only business is video games. If Nintendo starts being in the red for multiple years there will be some huge problems.

    With the GBA I really dont think Nintendo is going to go anywhere for a long time though.

    That's why when people do that you leave them screaming feedback, or threatening/harassment or whatever it is.

  9. Re:Darn on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    In my apartment there are atleast 12 networks I could connect to. Makes it real fun when everyone is using their network at same time. I've also accidentally connected to neighbors network and didnt notice for awhile, guess I'm a criminal?

  10. Re:Hangs head in shame... on Massively Multiplayer Sweat Shops · · Score: 1

    You must have dropped out of Lineage early. Sieges are huge, but the big pvp battles and raid bosses are much better imo. Also 5 hours a day is more then enough to become high level. There are quite a few classes that solo better then archers. It's really quite a different game then it used to be in a lot of ways. Although the amount of farmers in the high level areas is just insane. The lower areas just aren't profitable anymore, and with a lot of the changes that have just made it easier for farmers, makes you wonder who's getting kickbacks.

    Interesting, would have never thought of it like that. It seems to make some sense.

  12. Re:100% uptime ... oh please ... on DECnet Isn't Dead · · Score: 1

    My company has been moving a few of our jurisdictions to our new software running on non VMS, nothing but problems. And at $1,000 a minute we've had a few quarter million liability days.

    I don't see why people upgrade for the sake of upgrading. Different systems that do the same thing, except one seems to always be having problems.

  15. Re:What does "own" mean now? on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    Believe they did this to an old lady in Idaho, they pretty much took all her land to make an offroad to the freeway. She refused and when the state won they ended up giving her WAY less then what the property should have been worth. Last time I took that offramp when I was in town there was a huge apartment complex being built there. Kinda made me wonder about the whole thing. Not to mention that there was another exit just a block furthur.

    Problem is people like to call right wing nuts conservatives. People who are so far from conservative and being called it. Same with liberal being tossed around, think that started with Rush.;) People should pick up some dictionaries and see what they are calling someone.

  17. Re:Not as bad as it sounds... on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    Sorry I can't help you, but that sounds like a really shitty position. It's so lame how much the family courts swing in the interest of the wife. My brothers wife cheated on him and left him 3 times before he learned his lesson. She has no job, and my brother pays 1K per child just so she will let him see them more then every other weekend.(Granted he can afford that) How messed up is that? He has to pay his Xwife enough so she won't ever have to work so he can see his kids more then 6 days a month.

    GP32 looked pretty interesting, I looked into getting one a few months back. I eventually ended up getting a pocketpc, but still keeping up with where the GP32 is going.(Asus mypal 620, it looks less curious when I'm using it at work, the GP32 woulda been obvious)

    Good point on the Battlestar, I had no interest in seeing that show really. I was bored one day and saw that torrent and said what the hell. Got me hooked and they are going to make money off me they normally wouldn't have. Plus, I've told a few people about it. Doctor Who, I'm pretty close to checking out a couple episodes.
