    Just be careful when installing Zalman heatsinks. Getting blood on your motherboard may void your warranty.

    I'm sure slashdot can beat that by creating 1.6 million dupes in the next week!

    I'd hate to see the bum that fell asleep under one of these air conditioners. Peltiers get mighty hot on the non cool side.

    No, but it proves google's adsense tech certainly works. (I've got the adsense ad too)

    I would have written first post, but they might have hunted me down and had me arrested.

    Yes, Ahh-nuld and his vowel retention poilcies.
    Limiting the number or e's you can use in one sentance to 2 now. You could always have typed r4r3 instead or rair though.

  11. Re:Staring Mel Gibson as Bat-Man? on Batman Begins Trailer Online · · Score: 0
    But I can't think of anything that proves it isn't located in a post nuclear apocalyptic Australian.

    The fact that your Australian would have to be pretty fucking huge (which may have been caused by the nuclear attack, granted), or that Gotham would have to be pretty fucking tiny proves fairly conclusively that it isn't located inside any kind of Australian.

  12. Spiderman Manga was set in Japan on Spider-Man in India · · Score: 0
    "off the top of my head I can't think of any other comic books that were redone for a completely different culture. Anyone?"

    Yes. Spiderman, in fact. It was made into a manga years ago and set in japan to appeal to japanese audiences. I happen to own the first issue and the changes are pretty significant.

    In my dad the worst job I ever had was converting those bloddy cog wheel counting machines into valve computers. We considered ourselves lucky if we got one vavle each too. Software? Kids these days are so spoilt.

    If you read the 2nd Law of robotics as per the flash file it actually reads the 2nd law should not "confilct" with the first one. No wonder robots are off killing people. Damn human error.

  19. Re:Digital TV? When, dear god, when? on Latest SnapStream PVR App Reviewed · · Score: 1

    It would appear that the american digital TV standard is ATSC's 8VSB . But that may change to DVB-T anyway, which is the standard in Australia and the UK. As for encryption, that only comes into effect if you choose to get your digital from a cable or satellite company which requires the use of a smart card. There is no reason that a PC card can't descramble over the air broadcasts of digital TV. Look here for examples of US digital TV cards.

    How you got rated +4 informative is beyond me.

    It's amazing how the US still see's itself as the centre of the world and is still bent on adopting a different standard to everyone else when it comes to pretty much anything. Mobile phones, power systems, etc.
    There is some perfectly good software being written in Australia but it just happens that it doesn't yet support digital TV either.

    Showshifter seems to be the major one thats going with DVB at the moment, and once it supports my card, is probably the one I'll go with.

  20. Digital TV? When, dear god, when? on Latest SnapStream PVR App Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why the hell are people not supporting digital TV? It's a veritable goldmine!
    The first company to produce decent software that works with all current digital TV cards, even if it's only the dvb-t standard used in Australia, will make a fucking mint.
    At the moment people are waiting with baited breath for some decent windows software to come out, and are willing to pay money for it. So why the fuck isn't anybody writing the software?
    I'd happily buy this if it supported digital TV, but like most of the other crap on the market, it only works in the US, and only for analogue TV. Somebody please, if you're out there, write some decent software for Australian digital TV tuners!

  21. Re:The game set out there.. on Chernobyl...18 Years Later · · Score: 1

    They have a great write up of the game here.

    It looks set to be absolutely awesome. It takes the idea of the marauders that
    were mentioned in the journal and makes it into a game.

    And with graphics to rival the quake 3 engine, I really can't wait for this
    to come up. I just hope they don't have to give out on their great ideas in
    order to meet some silly publishing deadline, which seems to happen to so many
    games these days.
