  1. Re:Friday nights are lonely on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 1

    Enterprise was really getting good when it was cancelled. I think what killed it wasn't just Friday, but putting it on at the exact same time as STARGATE. What were they thinking?

  2. Re:oh good, but then slippery slope on Emergency Broadcast System Coming To Cell Phones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Assuming they are for a reasonable range, maybe the Amber alerts will at least be more useful on cell phones. I find the ones on TV extremely annoying because I can guarantee no lost child is in my house in view of my tv.

    No prob, just get the PDF exploit fix from Cydia after you jailbreak :)

  4. Re:Sometimes Apple still thinks too much like a... on Apple Update Means Palm Pre Can No Longer Sync With iTunes · · Score: 1

    Yes, I understand why they designed it that way, after all, they sell music. But when Itunes won't even allow me to copy off mp3s to another machine that I own, or load my ipod from two of my machines, it annoys me. I'll just not use itunes, and not accidently wipe out my entire ipod moving between machines. Plus I don't care for itunes anyhow.

    I think he's referring to the way you can do more with Winamp. With the Winamp ipod plugin you can transfer music from any ipod to any computer, and from any computer to any ipod. Itunes doesn't want to let you share, says "oops you synced with another computer, delete everything?"

  6. Re:Camera card reader -- please on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 1

    I'll be happy if someone just teaches it how to talk to the Ipod Radio Remote. I'd like to leave the Ipod in the car and connect the remote to the Iphone.

  9. Re:Will it have a Paris Hilton news blocker? on 3G iPhone Going Into Production In May · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just want ads blocked on my iphone. I tried editing the hosts file on my iphone, but it didn't work. Any suggestions? I need a solution on the iphone itself that will work anywhere.

    But with a trusty paper clip, you can REMOVE THE FUCKING CHIP! :) And Wifi still functions, I tried it on my iphone.

    Easy: Eject the chip. No phone, and Wifi still works.

    Just buy the good imported stuff - Lindt.
    I keep a stash of Lindt Excellence 70% cocoa. :)

  14. Re:First Pocket on iPhone, Apple TV Headline MacWorld Keynote · · Score: 1

    If you can find one when they first come out. Took me a while to get hold of a black 4gb Nano when they came out. Then nobody had the radio remote in stock. Then my brother had a hard time finding the new Shuffle. Better start sucking up to a Cingular employee now....

  15. Re:great... on Twin-Screen Vista Laptops · · Score: 1

    Window shade? Maybe a velcro flap to cover the small screen when you're not using it? Preferably same color and blends in so you can't tell it's a special bag at a glance. There are logical ways to work it out.

  16. Re:great... on Twin-Screen Vista Laptops · · Score: 1

    They'll just make laptop bags with little windows for the outside screen.

  17. Re:Ripple Effects... On DVD Purchases... on Hollywood Says Piracy Has Ripple Effect · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't see what that has to do with self control. They rarely announce that the standard dvd comes out now, the extended directors cut comes out in six months, and the super collosal box set next year. They add stuff later to force those who really like the product to buy it again. Or con those who were on the fence and didn't buy the first go round to buy it now. If you want the best version, sometimes all you can do is buy again and Ebay the first one. Right now I'm putting off buying Underworld II because they got me with an extended Underworld I version 6 months later. I gave the old one away...

    Here's how you convert from DVD to audio cd. http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=139536 Piece of cake if you're familiar with DvdDecrypter and Nero.

    Yeah, I'd rather have the black DS Lite too. Anyone with a black DS Lite coming to Atlanta soon? I'll trade you for my white one, I've been very nice to it. Gotta color coordinate with my black Ipod Nano :)

  23. Re:Macrovision? on Yahoo Exec Speaks Against DRM · · Score: 1

    That's pretty easy to get by though.
    Look on Ebay for "video stabilizer".
    It's like a $30 box you plug in the composite video line.
    That's what you need to copy vhs or dvd->vhs.
    Or digitize a videotape with macrovision.
    Or if you wanna plug your dvd in through the vcr because you have an old tv without composite inputs.

    Also useful are BHODemon http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm and CWShredder http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_do wnload.html And run the AdAware and Spybot scans from safe mode. Also, switch Spybot to advanced mode and look at tools->system startup. Scrutinize every item there. If its spyware delete it, if you're not sure its safe uncheck it.

  25. Re:This is a bummer... on Admission Tickets as Text Messages · · Score: 1

    I agree, I don't even like the "ticketfast" tickets from Ticketmaster you print on your own printer.
    What I really find hysterical is that Ticketbastards charges extra for that when they save money by not mailing your tickets!
    Now, I can see paying for a movie this way. Hold your phone to a machine on the way in and skip the line, like the credit card machine does now.
    But there's a HUGE difference between trusting it with a $6 matinee and a $130 Ozzfest pit ticket.
    And then what if your phone runs out of juice?
