  3. Re:WPA Support on DS Web Browser in June · · Score: 1

    Maybe more interesting, will it support login authentication systems (e.g. hotel wireless)? That's my biggest problem with the DS wifi support as it is. My campus network here at school requires a login to access... which means no Metroid Prime Hunters for me between classes.

  4. Re:OK, guys... on Google Wireless Patents Published · · Score: 1

    They call that licensing.

  5. Re:"42" is used in a POSIX standard on 42 *IS* The answer to Life, the Universe and Zeta · · Score: 1

    42 is also the version number used in the header for TIFF files, too - apparently chosen "for its deep philosophical significance".

    And I=V/R. Therefore, P = V^2/R.

  8. Re:What about Google Pack? on Google Video Store Announced · · Score: 3, Informative

    Trillian is part of the Pack, just not installed by default. Take a look at this page.

  9. Re:The Vatican did not reject Intelligent Design on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    My post title was drawn from the last paragraph in the article. (And note the question mark, as the paragraph in question was drawn from the interpretation of others.)

    Not that it really makes it any better. :)

    However, I wouldn't say that the existence of a "creator" is equivalent to ID. ID is usually construed as meaning that the creator was guiding the whole process, not just setting the whole thing in motion - a case which is more accurately called the clockmaker hypothesis.

  10. Re:well, I doubt it will be like that anymore on IRC as a World-Changing Medium · · Score: 1

    X-Chat is my personal favorite. The Linux version, at least, is free and GPL. The Windows version... not so much, but there's a free fork for Win32 that's built from the Linux source.

  11. Re:Cogentco website problems on Internet Partitioning - Cogent vs Level 3? · · Score: 1

    That "absurd" reason is likely the very same one as is described in the article.

  12. Re:Disc compatibility? on Talking 'Bout A Revolution · · Score: 1

    The slot loader is supposed to have some "magic" ability to be able to accept both sizes. I have no idea how it's going to work, but I'd love to see it in action.

  13. Re:Multiplatform? I think not. on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    I believe you should check your information. Only AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and IRC are available on Basic. This page clearly shows that Jabber - along with Rendevous and Groupwise - is not available on Basic.

  14. Re:Multiplatform? I think not. on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    If Google does release a fully Jabber-compatible IM service, I wouldn't be surprised if that pushes Cerulean Studios to include Jabber in the next release of Trillian Basic.

  18. Re:Is this a surprise to anyone? on Nintendo Gives No Ground In Handheld Wars · · Score: 1

    I have one dead pixel on both my GBA SP and my DS... but I'm not complaining. One pixel isn't enough to interfere with gameplay, and those systems cost me $150 and $100 less respectively than a PSP would.

  19. Re:"pro temp", not "pro tem" on GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It should? I've never seen that usage in this case. Just look at the Google results for "president pro tem" and "president pro temp" - 96,800 for the former, and only 674 for the latter. "pro tem" is simply an abbreviation of "pro tempore", nothing more.

  20. Re:"pro temp", not "pro tem" on GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas · · Score: 1, Informative

    You mean like this?

    "Pro tempore or pro tem is a latin phrase which best translates to "for the time being" in English."

    It was the Panasonic (Matsushita) Q, and it was only sold in Japan. I can't say that I know how well it actually sold in Japan, though.

  24. Re:Can't we check the submissions? on Lucas's New HQ · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but it's an AP wire story, not an article by the Kansas City Star.

  25. Re:A joke. on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 1

    That's simple scalar multiplication, not a cross product.
