  1. The world's largest power supply on The World's Tiniest Power Supply Unit · · Score: 2, Funny

    The XBox 360's.

  2. IE on Windows on Microsoft Ends IE on the Mac · · Score: 2, Funny

    If they would only stop supporting IE on Windows - then we'd ALL be safer!

  3. XBox BF2 demo? on Review: Battlefield 2 · · Score: 1

    Didn't the latest XBox Magazine have a demo version of this?

  4. Are the percentages right? on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 1

    If 3 million is 10 percent, how is 33.6 million only 2 percent more at 12 percent?

  5. A little off topic. on The Rocky TiVo-DirecTV Relationship · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I had DirecTv once, and although I like the picture quality of DirecTv better than cable, the cost of buying several new receivers and a new HD dish is just outrageous compared to renting a cable company box for $5 bucks a month, with the ability to upgrade whenever a new box comes out. They need to use the same model if they want me to switchback to them - which I'd be more than happy to do.

  6. team competition! on Why Are There No Sports MMO Games? · · Score: 1

    That'd be sweet if ESPN or Madden came out with a version of the game where a human could play every single position. Have 11 humans on each side of the field.

  7. Re:Browser War on John Doerr Disclaims Rumored GBrowser · · Score: 1

    Firefox has an extension available - don't think it's made by Google though.

  8. Re:I can see how why the USA sucks for Moore on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    I've never seen the movie, but my guess is (assuming you mean Disney actually did turn down F911), that they decided the movie didn't really fit in with their business direction. Disney usually puts out family oriented films, not political, touchy issues. I would think they would lose a lot of business with their family products just by taking on F911.

  9. Re:I can see how why the USA sucks for Moore on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not a police state or censorship for a television station to decide not to air it because they worry about the image of their station or the loss of ad revenue or viewer ratings from the backlash that might occur from airing it. It's business - nothing more.

  10. Re:No way, man! on Detoxing With Magnets for Fun and Profit · · Score: 1

    Agreed - I just finished that book today and I can't believe it's a bestseller.
