  1. Re:"Sealed and unopened" and yet "unwrapped" on Bethesda Blocks Resale of a Secondhand Game (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    Consider this scenario:
    I ask for a Bethesda game for my birthday. Two people buy me the game. I don't know where they purchased the games.
    How do I sell the one that I don't open? Ebay? Amazon?
    Is the game that I sell covered by a warranty? It better be!

  2. It must be late... on Google Claims They "Just Aren't That Big" · · Score: 1

    When I first read this I thought "what aren't so big??"... my imagination ran...

  3. Sports! on TiVo For Radio? · · Score: 1

    One great reaons for time shifting radio is Sports. If your team's radio announcer is better/more enthusiastic than the network dullards, time shift their radio broadcast by 3-7 seconds to compensate for the delay of video bouncing off satellites!

  4. Clone Supermodels? on Walk-By DNA Testing · · Score: 1

    If we could hook this up on the runway of the Victoria Secret show... use genome mapping to make them live a long time... we could build us some nice supermodels...

  5. Rowboat/Ship, Web Future on Ask Jakob Nielsen Almost Anything · · Score: 1

    1) When the web was a rowboat, everyone updated their browser within days of the new version coming out.
    Now the web is a gigantic ship, and to make our sites easy to use and accessable to all, we have to make them backward compatible to HTML 2.0.

    When can we abandon the slaggards? When our web logs say 5% of our visitors are on HTML 2.0? Or is
    that leaving out too many people?

    2) Many have guessed that we are in CaveWeb times. That the internet is in its infancy and there are far more innovations to come than those that have occured.

    What are your views on the future of the web as broadband access becomes more widespread? Beyond video, can you guess probable future web applications?

  6. Laptop Name on I Want Names for my Servers! · · Score: 1

    You can't beat the name "Lucy" for a laptop!

    My only problem is what to name my second Linux
    box after the first was named "Pengy"

  7. Slooowwww on Yankees.Com Hits A Home Run · · Score: 1

    At 28.8 it takes forever to load the yankees.com
    home page. Sure it's colorful and has lots of
    wizz-bang stuff on it, but to hold it up as a
    shining example of web design is too much.

    You can tell a good web design by what is left
    out more than what is added.

    With the massive amount of people on the web now,
    the struggle is to keep the non-upgraders happy
    while also satisfying the gee-whiz crowd. The
    web used to be a rowboat, now it's an ocean liner.
    We can't turn this thing real easy like in 1995.

  8. GD Replacement?? on Unisys Not Suing (most) Webmasters for Using GIFs · · Score: 1

    I use GD to create GIFs on the fly.

    What is the best replacement for GD?
    Is there a suitable replacement?

    Are they working on a PNG creating GD?

  9. Re:Blarg! on Black Futurists In The Information Age · · Score: 1

    Is it better to build walls or build bridges?

    Are we together or apart?

    Do you want to do work or watch someone else work?

    Put your hand in, don't put your hand out.
