  2. Re:Entry barrier for Windows Mobile vs. iPhone on T-Mobile To Open App Store For All of Their Phones · · Score: 1

    Replace that $1100 iMac with a $599 Mac mini. Buy RAM, monitor, keyboard and mouse from a local shop, install yourself. Total price: a lot less than $1100.

  3. Re:Need a standardized platform! on T-Mobile To Open App Store For All of Their Phones · · Score: 1

    Not only is there a lot of different platforms but also a lot of different hardware. CPUs, CPU speeds, RAM, storage capacity, screen resolutions/color depth, sound/music capabilities, controls/inputs, etc.

  6. Author didn't make 5600$ in profits. on 8 People Buy "I Am Rich" iPhone App For $1,000 · · Score: 2, Funny

    It costs 99$ per year to become an iPhone/iPod touch developer, so he only made 5500$. :P

    A bit off-topic but interesting fact: the iPhone/iPod touch screen is 480x320 pixels, making this 999.99$ "artwork" 0.0065103515625$/pixel. That's still a lot cheaper than 1$ per pixel. ;)

  8. Re:Details... on Vista's Security Rendered Completely Useless · · Score: 1

    I'd assume that most of the desktop computers are all interconnected via the internet. Sure, Windows viruses and trojans can't infect Mac or Linux boxes, however they can slow down their connection since the Windows boxes are using all the bandwidth to send v1agra spam, infect other boxes, etc.

    If we make yet another car analogy, imagine that most people drove cars that kept on breaking for no reason, all the time, while people drove them. That would make roads completely unsafe and you would have a pretty hard time convincing anyone that the freedom to buy such cars is a good thing.

    If the bottom stage detached shouldn't the stage above it be already ignited and doing its own thrust, hence pushing the bottom stage out of the way at the same time?

    I'm not a rocket surgeon, though.

    I haven't RTFA, but are these things timed individually?

    Call me crazy, but shouldn't each part be communicating with the other parts so that they can synchronize?

    All I want to know is if there's gonna be a secret cow level?

    Although I'm getting tired of slaying evil walking cows... Make a deal with Fox and make a secret chicken level.

    Of course, we'd need to have a chicken NPC give us a bad coupon to be able to enter the secret chicken level, but I'm sure Blizzard could squeeze that somewhere in the story.

  24. Re:Tell me more! on Gravity Tractor Could Deflect Asteroids · · Score: 1

    From what I heard, the director hated the book so the movie turned out as a somewhat serious parody. That's why things are so exaggerated in the movie and is one of the main reason why so many people hate it.

    Once you know that, IMHO it's a great sci-fi/action movie with over-the-top characters and situations.

    We should be watching to see if the dolphins leave the Earth by their own means.
