  1. Re:What's the problem? on Sony Patents Game Demos With Feature Erosion · · Score: 1

    Naa, Sony's more likely to put a rootkit on your system then sue you.

  2. Glad I left CA on California To Create Public Animal Abuser Registry · · Score: 1

    California should be more concerned with the fact that the state is just about bankrupt with one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.

  3. Re:I knew that and is MAIN reason I bought Toyota on Toyota Black Box Data Is More Closed Than Others' · · Score: 1

    Interesting stuff. Is there a website that details what cars have what in terms of chips and such?

  4. Re:walled garden on Apple Removes Wi-Fi Finders From App Store · · Score: 1

    It's true not all Android phones have a physical keyboard, they do all have touchscreens though. They also all have a standard set of buttons (granted not necessarily in the same place). Pretty sure they all have accelerometers too.

    As far as I know the only significant differences with the various phones currently out are the versions of Android. Old phones may still be running 1.5. Version 1.6 is still popular and newer phones like the Droid and NexusOne use 2.1 I believe.

  5. Re:Firefox + NoScript + Adblock Plus + FlashBlocke on Window Pain · · Score: 1

    Maybe Joe sixpack shouldn't be using a computer.

    Seriously, were entering an age when game consoles, cell phones and toasters have internet access.
    Lets give common people common devices and leave computers to those intelligent enough to use them.

  6. This is stupid on Another Study Attacks Violent Video Games, Claims To Be "Conclusive" · · Score: 1

    Far more violence has been caused by religion. Yet we give these people a free pass and tax breaks.

  7. Re:Boo on 8-Year Fan-Made Game Project Shut Down By Activision · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think MechWarrior 2 was the last thing Activision ever did that I cared about. I certainly won't be buying anything from them anytime soon.
    And they'll be crying when this fan made game leaks out accidentally onto the internet and is enjoyed by all and they get absolutely nothing.

  8. Re:You're looking at it wrong. on Should I Take Toyota's Software Update? · · Score: 1

    Very informative post.
    Crazy how we have to do all that (and apparently more) to do what a single cable used to do.

    I can understand the need for fly by wire in an aircraft where the pilot's own strength was needed to force flaps and rudders and such to move against the wind. But do we really need it for cars beyond power steering and brakes?

  9. Re:TiVo invented timeshifting? on The Sad History and (Possibly) Bright Future of TiVo · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure my old TV capture card with DVR predated the Tivo. I could be wrong but I am skeptical that Tivo was first. Maybe the first console unit?

  10. List of Cell Phones on BlackBerry Bold Tops Radiation Ranking · · Score: 1

    CNET has a nice list of just about every cell phone model out there and how much radiation they put out.

    Click through the pages for lists by manufacture.

  11. Re:Not the judges per se on Google Italy Execs Convicted Over YouTube Bullying Video · · Score: 1

    Italy's in the western world?

  12. Re:Just like desktop linux. on Google Android — a Universe of Incompatible Devices · · Score: 1

    It's not much different then the situation you see with FireFox extensions.
    When Droid came out, 2.0 became the latest Android version and it took the app devs some time to catch up.

  13. Re:Cat5/6 on Suggestions For a Coax-To-Ethernet Solution? · · Score: 1

    hahaha, the second I posted, I hit refresh and there's 20 other people saying the same thing :)

  14. Cat5/6 on Suggestions For a Coax-To-Ethernet Solution? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I'd tape Cat6 cables to the ends of the coax cables then pull them through. Presto new cables where the old ones were.

  15. Re:Forgive me on No Glasses Needed For TI's New 3D Display · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that could care less about all this 3D hype?
    I'm still waiting for something with a good story to come along. A 3D turd is still a turd.

  16. Re:bad branding on Comcast Shoots For New Image, Rebranding As Xfinity · · Score: 1

    If they were foreign they'd have to offer considerably better service for a lower price.

  17. Re:Xfinity equals... on Comcast Shoots For New Image, Rebranding As Xfinity · · Score: 1

    T-Mobile

    I'm sure someone will reply with their horror story but they've been good to me. Sadly, I can't name a second company.

  18. Re:Journalism on How Easy Is It To Cheat In CS? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought the same thing and I never even played CS.

  19. Re:Is this really news? on Shuttle Endeavour Blasts Off For Space Station · · Score: 1

    I'd rather my tax dollars go into the space program then all this other shit:

    Requires far more bandwidth of newer codecs: check

  21. Re:other way around on Oh, What a Lovely Standards War · · Score: 1

    That still doesn't help the mobile device issue.
    I agree with the GP, Theora needs hardware support on all devices yesterday.

  22. Re:From TFS on MPEG LA Extends H.264 Royalty-Free Period · · Score: 1

    >You know, Theora video doesn't suck at 400x226.

    Fixed that for you.

  23. Re:Noname brand player on MPEG LA Extends H.264 Royalty-Free Period · · Score: 1

    Does any of that help me run video on my cellphone (or whatever device) today? H264 is already supported in hardware. Why should I or anyone else go through a bunch of fuss to get Theora to work (likely only in software)?

    Sure maybe in the future Theora will be common.. That does nothing for us now. By the time it does happen it'll be too late.

  24. Re:Think bigger on Spray-On Liquid Glass · · Score: 1

    Because they want you to buy a new car in a few years.

  25. Re:Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit on Apple's Trend Away From Tinkering · · Score: 1

    It seems the US public education system has failed me once again (not a surprise).
