  1. Re:Normally, I'd say let them do what they want on Sony Refuses To Sanction PS3 "Other OS" Refunds · · Score: 1

    As said before in other threads, PS3 slim never had the Other OS function, so the argument of Sony adds money for every console does not stick.

  2. Re:Not true on How Did Wikileaks Do It? · · Score: 1

    The sympathy probably ran off with time when everyday you are threathened by danger of getting killed by similar looking people.

    I sat with your feeling towards the soldiers, simply acting like young teenagers playing a computer game.

    But the other way around is that many of these troops are in fact young individuals, who are under intense psychological pressure, where teammates have been killed, and every day is a battle to stay alive when faced with a hostile enemy.

    We, as third party viewers to the video clip, only feel bad because this was mostly innocent people (not knowing persona of all killed). If all the people shot in this video was the enemy, then the line of comments would not have been that long.
    And if the people in the video had been reversed, meaning taliban flying a helicopter shooting at american tourists, which taliban believed was american soldiers, the video would probably not have gained that much publicity, it would just been archived as another terrorist attack.

  3. Re:Can I HomeBrew this? on OnLive Remote Gaming Service Launches In June · · Score: 1

    Though this is more like VNC, where your powerhouse PC run the game and stream video to and controls from another PC.

  4. Rest of the world on OnLive Remote Gaming Service Launches In June · · Score: 1

    Any ideas when the european launch will take off? Guess Australia and Asia has the same question.

    Goodbye to Xbox live.
    And for those still loyal to Microsoft's services, we welcome you to the world of modding a Xbox and joining players on Xlink KAI.

  7. Phisers strikes at the hackers and their kiddies on Hackers vs. Phishers · · Score: 1

    Yesterday the Auto Whaler was something I would thumb up for. Now when I finally got my chance to abuse it, it somewhat became old news too quick.

    During my sleep I finally received some phising mails to test with the Auto Whaler.

    First one gave no hits Second one gave green lines all over. Trying to open one of the text files I was just redirected to a sub page on the site where all the red lights starts flashing. Tons of malware trying to be installed.

    So do not let the phishers fool you, they too know about Whales.

  8. Why are they returning on Dell Says High Linux Netbook Returns a "Non-Issue" · · Score: 1

    If there was any substance to the claim, then it would be fun if it turned out that it was ordinary people returning the Linux laptops simply because "I cannot install word or find Internet Explorer"

  9. Where is HTC? on Standard Cellphone Chargers For Europeans · · Score: 1

    Sad they are not in the agreement since they too are a big player in the market, especially when we talk about the business market.

    And in my mind the answer for the standard charger would be HTC's ExtUSB. How come? It is nifty USB charger, and their phones get charged by regular USB as well.
    Plus a whole lot more like head set, adapters and so forth

    ExtUSB specification

  10. some more hot air? on New Service Aims To Replace Consoles With Cloud Gaming · · Score: 1

    I recall to have heard stories like this years back regarding at least 2 other similar projects.

    All of them ended up being nothing more than a story on the net and a alpha prototype on CeBit.

    Sorry to say, I'll believe it when I see it in the wild.
    Just like when Microsoft years back announced a new gaming platform in developement, where games worked on all types of machines and consoles regardless of their hardware (read Xbox, PS2, Mac and PC).

  11. Make your self important or not.... on Tips For Taking Your Laptop Into and Out of the US? · · Score: 1

    Go ahead encrypt your drive. While doing that, please bear in mind that an encrypted drive may seem more interesting to goverment agencies than just a plain "clear-text" drive with innocent pictures.

    And they have probably seen amateur porn recorded in a motel many times before (in case this was your concern)

  12. Does he really wanna have his laptop back on Man Uses Remote Logon To Help Find Laptop Thief · · Score: 2, Funny

    The ending of the story is missing.

  15. beta beta beta or was it alpha? on Windows 7 Beta Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Yes it looks like Vista, but who said the product was finished.

    Longhorn or Vista which is the name today, also looked much like XP/2003 in its early stages.

    Wikipedia is misleading and properly only concerned about US.

    A quick google on Second Life and child pornography brings back articles from last year of a hunt down of traders of real child pornography and the ones doing virtual child abuse.

  18. Remove this /. since it is fake?!?!?!??! on Comcast Blocks Web Browsing · · Score: 1
    Should admins not remove this since it was all bullocks?

    http://systems.cs.colorado.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Broadband_Network_Management

    A note regarding our findings: Further experiments have led us to believe that our initial conclusions that indicated Comcast's responsibility for dropping TCP SYN packets and forging TCP SYN, ACK and RST (reset) packets was incorrect. Our experiments were conducted from behind a network address translator (NAT). The anomalous packets were generated when the outbound TCP SYN packets exceeded the NAT's resources available in it's state table. In this case, TCP SYN, ACK and RST packets were sent. We would like to thank Don Bowman, Robb Topolski, Neal Krawetz, and Comcast engineers for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this posting may have caused.

    How does WoW patching works with a ComCast line?

    Blizzard uses Bittorrent for patching the game (and sharing the patch as well)

  20. Someone call Mark Cuban on Mark Cuban Calls on ISPs to Block P2P · · Score: 1

    Someone should call Mark and tell him what P2P is.

    It is not a term for content, but a protocol for data transfer (aka mechanism)

    Several games including the kiddie famous World of Warcraft uses P2P (more specific Bittorrent) for distributing patches to the players.

    Why should providers take the load and traffic when 1000 or millions wants/needs an exact copy of the same data, when the load could be distributed worldwide.

    Next Mark Cuban wants to ban Youtube for hogging the backbone of ISPs and say people should use Google Video instead?!?

    This means in future, we will see or actually hear more use of the words "Such as" and "like"

    Every morning I hear the US exchange students (espacially the female ones) in the metro talk, and partly annoyed how the word "like" is used as the every fourth word.

    For starters, I have no clue what the Great Firewall blocks of content and type of data, but could the Chinese browsers not use a proxy server? Preferably an encrypted one?
