  1. Re:Bose on Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise · · Score: 1

    at the theatre i work at, an earplug under the headphone of the intercom works wonderfully. people leave their mics on, and about 3 people pick up whats going on onstage at varying volumes, creating a bunch of background noise. the earplugs cancel it out, and you can hear the person speaking.

  2. Re:Easy Alternative on Stop Christmas-Gift PCs From Feeding Worms · · Score: 1

    well, not bad if you don't mind slower performance and unsupported games. WineX doesn't work for every game, and when a new one is released,I would have to wait until it is supported, whether or not it will be supported is determined through voting, taking even more time. if you want to play games under Linux, and dont mind performance lag (i get about 70 fps in Unreal Tournament under windows XP pro, and 30 fps at the most under Linux (SuSE 8.2) with the same hardware), then SuSE's Wine Rack is the thing for you. if you care about graphics so choppy the game is virtually unplayable and entirely unenjoyable, dont bother with it. Windows will remain on hard drive with SuSE until games are worth playing on Linux.

  5. Re:Pixar will be around on Despairing of Pixar · · Score: 3, Interesting

    pixar makes pretty family films, yes, but there are other (independent) animators out there. i was very impressed with "The Cathedral", directed by Tomek Baginski which was included in Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt's Animation Show. there were a lot of great films in that show, most of them using stop motion or traditional animation, and most were at least as good as any pixar movie ive seen out there. Pixar may be profitableand have immense resources, but they are certainly not the only studio out there

    >>our optical powers keep growing.

    thats right, we're not going to worry about other planets till our 1337 0p7i(41 p0\/\/3rZ have progressed to the point where we shoot green and red laser beams out of our eyes.

    or not.

  9. Re:I'd rather... on MPAA Sued Over DVD Screener Ban · · Score: 1

    it would be so bitersweet to see all consumers protest the 5 biggest movies of the year by not going to watch it in the theatres at all.

    i'm almost there. i haven't yet seen Matrix: Reloaded or Revolutions in the theatre-- I already watched the screeners, why should i go pay 10 bucks? come to think of it i havent watched any movie in the theatres recently, mostly because they couldnt possibly be anything but swill. (scary movie 3 anyone? and the back 2/3 of the matrix trilogy?)
