  1. Re:Speaking as a potential customer on Devs Grapple With 100+ Versions of Android · · Score: 1

    Never had any problems with apps not working or not finding something to fit my needs. It is a developer annoyance at best.

  2. Re:Still not as versatile as an iPod Touch... on Casio Unveils New Color Screen Graphing Calculator · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While an app for a modern handheld device sounds like a great idea, it'll never fly because these have to be used during standardized testing. Text your friend (or an online service) for the solution.

  3. Re:Still not as versatile as an iPod Touch... on Casio Unveils New Color Screen Graphing Calculator · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily a bad thing, you only have so much time in a class and it helps when everyone is on the same page. Teaching the math and how to use the graphing calculator with a different set of instructions for each vendor/model could make a confusing subject even more confusing for the students.

  4. Re:So now... on World of Warcraft: Cataclysm To Launch Dec. 7th · · Score: 1

    WoW has never been about the path to the level cap it has always been about the content at the level cap.

  5. Re:Blizzard's Amazing Release Schedules on World of Warcraft: Cataclysm To Launch Dec. 7th · · Score: 1

    They've been reliably* putting out a new pay expansion every two years.

  6. Re:Allow texting while stopped on Could Anti-Texting Laws Make Roads More Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    Maybe the person texting isn't driving?

  7. I'm sure Twitter is delighted on 1K JavaScript Madness · · Score: 3, Funny

    About javascript in their tweets...

  8. Duh on Scientists Using Lasers To Cool Molecules · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I always thought lasers were cool.

  9. Re:Who is this for, really? on The PlayStation Move Arrives — a Hands-On Report · · Score: 1

    I think that was the point the OP was making. It can't so it obviously isn't a feature it was purchased for.

  10. Re:It should go both ways. on UK ISPs To Pay 25% of Copyright Enforcement Costs · · Score: 1

    They'd allow it but all of *AA's profits were eaten up by *AA2's "consulting" fees. Sadly there are no profits left.

  11. Re:tabs on the same row as address bar on IE 9 Beta Strips Down For Speed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Looks like it could really crowded quickly. Not going to pass too much judgement till I see how it handles multiple tabs.

  12. Re:medicore on T-Mobile To Begin HTC G2 Preorders · · Score: 1

    Android 3.0/Gingerbread is rumored to have minimum requirements of a 1 GHz processor, however if you're rooted you can probably install it anyway, but it is definitely on my mind for a smartphone upgrade.

  13. Re:Count me in on The Push For Colbert's "Restoring Truthiness" Rally · · Score: 1

    Rally, Blaze, I'm not sure I want what is coming next.

  14. Re:your next car should be electric on Another Gulf Oil Rig Explodes · · Score: 1

    Sad truth

  15. Re:Big science plot hole on First Review of Avatar Special Edition · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Same reason Bond villians never just put a bullet in Bond's head.

  16. Choices on The Case Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What other service provider?

  17. I learned it from you... on Monkeys Exhibit the Same Economic Irrationality As Us · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Monkey see monkey do!

  18. Re:RPGs on Why Wave Failed · · Score: 1

    I was first introduced to it this way but I began branching out. It is great for coordinating trips amongst a group of people. I am currently using it to coordinate the home buying process. I'm sad to see it go and tempted to host a wave server for personal use.

  19. Hopefully on Apple To Hold iPhone 4 Press Conference · · Score: 5, Funny

    They'll hold the press conference correctly.

  20. Obligatory on Senators Want Big Rocket Instead of New Tech, Commercial Transportation · · Score: 1

    Politics isn't rocket science! I think rocket science might be rocket science though.

  21. Re:payback on The Verizon Wireless HTC Eris 'Silent Call Bug' · · Score: 1

    I've had this happen ~3 times over the 8 months I've had my Moto Droid. I think the first may have even been pre-2.1.

  22. Re:QQers win again! on Blizzard Backs Down On Real Names For Forums · · Score: 1

    As much as I hate this on the WoW forums it seems oddly appropriate here.

  23. Re:We're not retreating.... on Blizzard Backs Down On Real Names For Forums · · Score: 1

    I tried ignoring the trolls on the blizz forums but it doesn't really help you when the next Y posters quote their garbage. It does seem kind of dumb to not tie in-game ignores to forum ignores, or even to have them global across all your characters in-game.

  24. Re:Blizz forums on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    I used to post quite often on the Warrior forums about ~3 years ago. Helpful stuff and all that jazz. Trolls, whiners, and people that can't be bothered to read a FAQ/guide are tiresome and that is the majority of the posters (anecdotally). If you want to cut through the garbage you're much better off with an unofficial / moderated forum like Elitist Jerks, mmo-champion, or tankspot. I'm sure there are new sites these days but you get the point.

  25. Re:Pardon my ignorance, but... on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    Not all of their games require monthly payments.
