    watching tv is far more better than playing that damn snake game over and over :-)

  7. Re:any ideas why this on the Latvian army site? on Soviet Space Battle Station Images Published · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://www.army.lv/ isn't a Latvian army site. It's just an amateur site about Russian military forces, and has nothing to do with official Latvian army or inteligence.

  8. Re:Firefox & Thunderbird on The Tech Support Generation · · Score: 3, Insightful

  9. Re:No, ignoring it won't make it go away on Better Nuclear Waste Storage Plans than Yucca Mountain · · Score: 3, Insightful

    do you have any idea how much does it cost to lift a single pound of cargo into the orbit, not speaking about sending it to the sun? and how much nuclear power will cost, if this solution would be used?

  10. Re:Bootlegging on Automatic Scanning for Cameras in Theaters · · Score: 1

    Ahh yes, the solution to bootlegging in theatres

    yea, thats true

    and there's is one more reason why it will suck - the sharpness of the picture depends largely lenses quality. And i doubt that smasung will bother putting high quality glass lenses on mobile phone

    so it will wnd up with 5mp photos blurry photos with losts of noise

    or donwloading it form your favorite p2p network :-)

  22. Re:open markets on iRiver to Build In-Dash Digital HD Players · · Score: 1

    A HD based player that has 1) Wireless and wired connectivity (don't care, ethernet, usb, firewire) 2) Upgradeable/hackable firmware 3) ogg/wma/flac/ normal formats 4) RCA and optical lines out/in 5) gapless/crossfaded playback 6) random playback by folder/album 7) less than $500.

    what about sound quality? doesn't it matter at all? or are you naive enough to believe that all players reproduce music in same quality?
    believe me, then you connect your player to amplifier and decent car speakers, all that noise can become really anoying, making you regret for those couple of bucks you saved.

  23. Re:open markets on iRiver to Build In-Dash Digital HD Players · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i seriously doubt if new products from rio and other newcomers can be considered superior quality (in terms of audio quality) comparing them to products (usualy cd/mp3 players) produced by experianced car audio system manufacturers (like pioneer, blaupunkt and etc.)
