  1. what was it you said ?? on The Era Of Satellite News Gathering · · Score: 1

    Baaaaaaaaaaaaa
    Try thinking on your own and seeking other sources for input. You might be suprised, that thing that is holding your ears apart actually has other uses. I seek news from several sources hopefully to allow me to process a more complete view. To depend on the US news sources is foolish and naive in the extreme. That is like depending on Israel to tell the WHOLE story about the middle east conflict...IMPOSSIBLE.

  2. Re:waste of money on The Era Of Satellite News Gathering · · Score: 1

    No but funny you have the same lame attitude and smart ass mouth that seems to think it knows the only truth. You also seem a wee bit defensive about working for a dying cash hog like NPR. When are you gonna try the real world and see if you can hold a job that is not federally subsidized ? Maybe you can break out and go to broadcast school and teach your great store of knowledge. While me and the rest of the .01% find a real news source instead of a predigested government approved stinking pyle like NPR :)
    Note NPR plays some good music but it is like looking for news from the Looney Toons news crew.

  4. The key is to take a GOOD on A Photorealistic CGI TV Series Coming Real Soon Now · · Score: 1

    movie and enhance it with CGI, but Hollywood seems to think that an 'action' movie is JUST action, and that plot is really an extra feature...

    Will read it on the net from a foreign news source just like I would anyways, anything else is so slanted and pre-digested as to be worthless for news anyways.

  6. Should be viewed as a great on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 1

    confirmation of the course of consumer indoctrination the large corporations have been on in the US for 20 years. They wanted mindless consumers, now as they are being eaten alive they discover some slight problems with that business model. I just hope the RIAA doesn't give the consumer public heartburn...

  7. Is there anything out there on Alternate Reality Games Grab Mindshare · · Score: 1

    that IS NOT BLAMING 9/11 for its' poor performance ?? Majestic was static and very boring. It is bad enough having to spend 30 minutes trying to QUIT EQ in a'safe' place. I'd just as soon NOT have the damn game calling me.
    EQ already does that via my admitedly abnormal phyche :)

  9. yes and what I on AMD Releases 12 New Chips at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    said was the intel P4 has to have Hyper Threading so there is no straight mhz comparison yet. The earliest HT P4 is 3.06 and it is gonna reset the balance performance wise, but AMD still has a cost benefit. All that said then I guess you are correct...mhz for mhz AMD still has the performance edge :)

  10. Err did we read the same page ?? on AMD Releases 12 New Chips at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    Looking at your own reference the Athlon ONLY wins in a few categories and looses to the P4 in most. To top it off I'd say Tom's chose a poor MB set up but prolly because at the time there was not much HT support. Price wise for home usage the Athlon's are still so much cheaper that the minor performance hit is acceptable, but numbers wise the P4's are only gonna stretch the gap as support for HT becomes prevalent and programs start to use it. AMD really NEEDS a 64bit desktop processor...

  11. Re:Its deceptive because.... on AMD Releases 12 New Chips at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    and I really don't see any athlon out performing a HT'ing P4 at the SAME clockspeed, much less and a significantly lesser speed. While AMD's ad-line might have been true against P3's and early P4's the MB support has caught up to the intel chips and they are out performing the 'comparable' AMD's we've got here. Now the only thing AMD has going for them is PRICE, and they are much nicer on the wallet.

  12. It exists now from on 100mbps Fiber Service To Your Door · · Score: 1

    Astound Cable, a seren communications company, but like many people pointed out who has 100 mb/gigabit gateways or modems ? The fiber runs to a box on my garage and is then split to coax or rj-45, or phone line depending on the usage.
    Their thru-put is great :)

  14. But the average AOL on AOL's Mystro TV vs Tivo? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    user has no problem losing features as long as it is easy to use so I predict this will find a market amongst the several billion unwashed AOL users. I am not giving up my gener1 TIVO until I am quite DEAD, but I also use my ATI card as a nice PVR so I am not the demographic they are shooting for anyways. The only thing we here at sladhdot can do is tell our families and the people I am sure we all support about it.

    I've got a blackberry, a nextel and a bloody pager and I LIVE for the brief periods in which I can shut them ALL off and BE unreachable. I honestly think that if work did not require them I would have NONE of them and still be very happy, but then I screen my calls on my unlisted home phone as well :) I must be a throwback or somthing...Archie

    article, They are technology crazed in a way most westerners can only begin to imagine. I used to think I was a techno geek, until I went to Japan. Now I feel like a luddite sometimes. The devices and the infrastructure are just not here in the west.

    or perhaps they will do like they did with the dorm phone systems when the colleges got greedy, go elsewhere...
    I remember not to long ago the universites complaining about how they were losing money on dorm phones now. They got greedy, over-charged and found out that inovation isn't dead, it just needs some prodding. Now most on-campus students use cell phones, the universities are still REQUIRED to maintain an expensive phone system and they get no money for it...well thought out plan.

    link between this kind of irrational behavior and airlines going BANKRUPT by the CART LOAD ?
    Airlines are the ultimate success story of the Arthur Andersen school of accounting. They've complicated the system so much that even they can't tell if they are making a profit of not. No wonder the airlines can't handle security as well.

  23. Woot, D&B's on Xbox Coming to Arcades · · Score: 2, Insightful

    is the only arcade out here that is not losing money hand over foot. The best part is they won't let anyone under 21 in except for dinner with their parents. When ever I get the yen for a console game fix I go there. It never lasts more than an hour, then I can get back to some serious gaming on my PC. Someday consoles will get there, maybe soon, but they aren't there now. Just check out EQ, or UT or any so-called cross-port game. Though Mario Kart is a kick in the a$$.
