  2. Re:The trick is to make technology your slave on The Downside of 'Hypertasking' · · Score: 1

    Yup, people complain about a lack of time, and how they can't live without a cell phone, etc...

    Seems to me that people were probably more relaxed and had more time before all the gadgets arrived... After all, you can waste a whole day scanning for viruses, spyware, installing patches, etc that just sucks out time.

  3. Re:No. on Insurance Companies Try Out Auto Black Boxes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, people bitch about high insurance rates, but when an acceptable(?) solution comes around they seem to balk at it. After all, if you want a low rate, why not prove it? Is Big Brother/privacy concerns worth the $?

  4. Re:So... on Apple Launches iTunes Affiliate Program · · Score: 1

    Your right. This is great sounding, but I think the payout is way too low. You can't save enough personally to justify the hassle of setting up the program. Also, I don't think you'd be able to make enough pushing it to friends/site visitors. It's just too cheap of a product to begin with.

    You are correct. Nice site there BTW.

  7. nice Compilation on Liberated Games Launches · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is a great way to find lots of Linux games in one place. Previously I had to search Google, follow tons of broken links, get pisssed off, etc... I've stil had better luck playing games under windows. Maybe I'll check out some of the source code. Reading others' source code can be a nice learning experience.

  8. Pretty cool on Andre Lamothe Launches XGameStation · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is a good way to get a new generation of engineers going. I know many of us probably got our start with games, computers, etc at an early age. It seems like it was easier back then because the systems weren't as complicated as they are now. Back then we had nice breadboards, through-hole components, eeproms, etc that made hardware hacking and learning easier. Now with all the SMT, it's hard to jump in and learn from scratch.

    A new device such as this with eduction in mind from the start surely sounds like a nice hobby experience.

    Buy your tech gear for much less.

  9. Re:YES! on FCC Says TiVo Owners Can Share Shows · · Score: 1

    Hopefully this will open up the ability for dvarchive to include show-sharing for the ReplayTV users. I don't think it's a problem adding the code, it's just not on the top of the developer's list of things to do.

  10. Why get mad? on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 1

    I assume that this is pretty rare. Even if you do set up this think on the side of a house, etc, how many people do you expect to show up? A drive in? How many cars can most people get in thier yard anyway?

    I bet it's pretty hard to set this up for a large scale operation.

  11. Re:MSN search misleading on Microsoft Challenges Google · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most people install the Google Toolbar because they want pop-up blocking. Soon, once this is incorporated into IE, I assume more people won't install the Google toolbar.

  13. Re:Language barrier on Language Tempest At Orkut · · Score: 1

    No crap. How about having a drop down toolbar so you can choose your language. I'm sure someone can translate the site navigation to different languages. When it comes down to a 1-on-1 with an orkut user, if you can't understand them due to the language barrier, then your probably wouldn't hang out with them in real life anyway.

  20. Re:When you can't on U.S. Government Sometimes Jams Keyless Car Locks? · · Score: 1

    Almost all alarms are the same though. Enter with the key, put ket in ignition and turn to the on position and push the little button (usually under the dash). That will disable the alarm for that instance. You gotta know where the button is though. Most aftermarket alarm installers put them in the same position though...
