  1. vs. Opera on Thunderbird 0.7 Released · · Score: 1

    Being an Opera fanboy and having no experience with Mozilla, could somebody point out some advantages of one over the other?

  2. Howard Stern on FCC Settles Censorship Claims with ClearChannel · · Score: 3, Interesting

    From howardstern.com:

    "Howard attacked Clear Channel for paying the $1.7 million fine to the government over his show and other's. Howard wants to know why they are paying the government but not paying him and honoring his contract. He says that Clear Channel didn't even fight the fines, they just kowtow to the Bush Administration to stay on their good side. And last year, Clear Channel was defending that same show to the FCC. Only after Howard started bashing Bush did Clear Channel suspend him for those shows, before any fines even came down. It's really scary how a major company like Clear Channel just seemingly does whatever the government asks. And how come the FCC hasn't fined Oprah yet over the same things Howard got fined for? Howard said that Clear Channel is full of sickening cowards."

  5. Re:Linksys on Cisco Products Have Backdoors · · Score: 1

    The reset button could compromise the unit locally, but couldn't this backdoor allow a remote compromise?

  6. Linksys on Cisco Products Have Backdoors · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if this software has been implimented in any of the Linksys products?

  7. Re:Why bother with chip mods? on Hack Your Ride · · Score: 1

    You should also be careful with what you say about front wheel drive cars. Many people drag FWD due to its lower drivetrain power loss. More HP per dollar.

  8. Re:Is this gonna be like Diablo II? on Blizzard's World of Warcraft Beta Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Like other modern MMORPGs, WoW will require a monthly fee, which insures that we get quality servers. For Diablo II, Blizzard could only provide servers that could be purchased and upkept from the game's initial $40 purchase price.

  9. Re:Bloated on Real's Reality · · Score: 1

    Bloated, yes. But it is their software's invasiveness that has kept me from trying the version that came with my cell phone. I'd love to see how well my phone can play video, but sorry Real, you have no credibility.

    I'm not. Looks very cool, but I think I'm just gonna need to pick up a higher contrast monitor.

  19. Toshiba clone on Linux Based Tablets Are Coming · · Score: 4, Informative

    Didn't notice if this has been mentioned yet but this tablet is an exact clone of a Toshiba model that has been available for quite some time now. The Protege 3500 runs on the PIII-M as well, only it comes with Windows XP. The price for the Toshiba version with Windows is around $300 cheaper in retail stores.

  20. Re:This was "leaked" on purpose... on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1

    I agree with you man. An intentional "leak" of seemingly authentic but outdated and useless code could serve as a great excuse to delay the game for as many months as they'd like.

  21. Worried about HL2 release on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 1

    This news actually makes me really worried about HL2's release. IANABusinessman but releasing HL2 at the same time as D3 sounds like a strategic decision. A delayed release for both games would be upsetting. On a side note, it looks like HL2 will be more fun for me, DOOM's scare-the-shit-out-of-you factor is too much for me, I frighten easily.

  22. Opera IS revolutionary on Opera 7.10 Released (First Opera 7.x For Linux) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've been using Opera since 7.0 came out for windows. Though yes the occasional web page has minor compatibility issues with Opera, i will never go back to IE. The main reason that EVERYONE should switch to Opera is Mouse Gestures. A quick flick of the wrist now gives me features like back, forward, close page, new page, minimize, refresh, and more. Until you get used to it you'll never know just how much sense mouse gestures make. Pr0n browsing productivity is through the roof! Just Like netscape and Mozilla, Opera has tabbed browsing. I thought I wouldn't like that at first but it keep my desktop really organized. Will never go back to multiple windows, but Opera has the option if I wanted to. Another nifty little feature is when you start, you have the option of opening all the pages that were open when you last closed Opera. This is always handy, but especially so after your browser freezes while you had 10 pages open...annoying to go back to them one by one. No longer an issue. I've also switched to Opera's brand new mail client, M2. Not as mature as Outlook but I would still say it's nicer overall. Try it out. Factor in the Skinning feature, 3D effects on buttons, and the truely useful fast forward, fast back features, and you've got to wonder how long until either MS steals these features or Opera becomes the new standard.

  25. Online Books on The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect · · Score: 1


    How do you guys prefer to read online books? I think my eyes and back would really be strained reading an entire novel off my monitor.

    Printing it is not apealing to me because ink, paper, and printer wear make it probably no cheaper than just buying a book. Maybe i'll have to take advantage of school printers, hmmmm yeesssss!
