  1. here it goes again on $70 Cordless Notebook Mouse with No Scroll Wheel · · Score: 1

    Is it me or is there always a super hyped geek techie who always predict the end as we know it of certain piece of hardware when something knew comes out?
    Scrolling with a touchpad can be bothersome ,leave the scroller!

    At least you have the choice to build your own god damn machine with the specs that You want and by what you can afford!

    Owning a MAC will not make you better at Graphic design! The machine doesnt make the artist!

    Mac is like mazda cars, they come standard with everything so you cant deal for accessories.

    i can probably build one cheaper than that if i get the integrated video card....but it's a crappy pc nonetheless!

  7. Re:Will Anime last? on Can Hayao Miyazaki Save Disney's Soul? · · Score: 1

    Anime has been around for 30 years and it's growing each years.

    A 30 year fad? i dont think so! Disney isnt in the race for animation anymore,,,,most people are tired of the pattern of disney. Japanese animation, at least, strive to innovate, create new stories or take from local folklore and integrate it in some new and improved way. Disney takes thing out of history and twist them so bad.

    With japanese animation, they cover everything, drama, horror, sci-fi, comedy , fantasy and even porn. They are not afraid to take it to a new level.

    Disney has it going on when they released "The black hole" the sci-fi thriller, it was out of character that year but it's good to try to get out of that mold "just kid's stuff"

  8. New Milestone on PC Prices Reach $300 Milestone · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Nice law! on Secret Codes Protect Ancient Torahs · · Score: 1

    Those 2000 years old text arent available for us to read usually, we read the transaltion in english/french etc..etc.. and that's where it gets tricky,,,who says it hasnt been messed with?

    I believe that the coran ot the torah could be untouched , they dont have the pope and his minions like Christians do, so some believers eat whatever is being fed to them!

    But i'm getting Offtopic here! i just wanted to comment on the fact that there are actual laws so you cant add anything in the book and i'm probably sure they respect it.the Bible has been going around many different religions and they have made whatever they wanted out of it.

  13. Re:Nice law! on Secret Codes Protect Ancient Torahs · · Score: 1

    There is no evidence to make us think otherwise!

    Nobody alive today knows what's been rewrote in the bible,, i'm not talking about the old or the new testament,, but the Bible. The spanish inquisition did happen and they were not about open mind but censorship,,,damn even the sixtine chapel was painted over so the genital of the characters woudlnt show, imagine what they would do to a book!

    Unless they find a 2000 year old bible or text, it's still a book that you need to take lightly and not literraly, but even if we had the real thing they'd still be fools to misunderstand what's written there.But in that case all religions are alike, they take what they want when it fits their fool crusade of what's right and wrong.

    MAC , linux and windows can use the same video cards!
    Mac had a geforce as an option on the G4 i think. Linux will run most video card unless the manufacturer hasnt provided the driver yet! Windows with all his failiures will run them all!

    But there is also the fact that there is more pc graphic card out there and people dont buy all the same card while X-box/playstation and other console will use only one type of graphic card and sell millions of them, thus lowering the cost of making those graphic cards...it's cheaper to make 50 millions exact same card than having 20 different on aimed at different market!

    Can your console and tv play high resolution game?

    Does your console support Anti-alising? When you get a taste of a very well built gamer pc, you'll never go back to console!

    Graphice sucks, and even though you get a better t.v. the console will never give you choices to play the game at higher resolution!

    So yeah! it's cheaper but you get what you pay for and nothing more!

    And by the way a dvd for pc is 50 $ and most hign-end graphic card have all output to plug in the crapy t.v.

    I could have a sexy naked girl in front of me trying to sell me MAC and she would not make a sale.
    Unfortunately in Computer businnes the white paper crap does matter and it does matter if they havent got their software working properly at other businesses.Doesnt matter how well i like the guy, i just want him to sell me something goog, your theory works well with necktie MBA dude who doesnt know shit about what he's installing and relies only on what he's being told.
