  1. If they make re-incarnation a crime... on China Says Tibetans Need Permission To Reincarnate · · Score: 1

    then only criminals will be re-incarnating.

  2. WTF is Blue-ray? on Gamers Don't Know Their Own Consoles · · Score: 1, Troll

    PS3 comes with a Blue-Ray ? ? Can I download it for my 360? ;)

  3. Re:Trackball on Mouse or Trackball? · · Score: 1

    I have to agree. I am a Mac fanboy but the mighty mouse plain sux. Forget using it in any games or 3D apps where you need to hold both right and left click at the same time.

  4. multi touch = another pointer ???? on Will You Change Your Web Site For the iPhone? · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I am wrong but I am thinking that "multi-touch" does not necessarily mean "another pointer".

  5. two words: environmental refugees on Is Scientific Consensus a Threat to Democracy? · · Score: 1

    Effects of Climate Change Eventually May Cause Hundreds of Millions to Migrate. Scholars are predicting that 50 million people worldwide will be displaced by 2010 because of rising sea levels, desertification, dried up aquifers, weather-induced flooding and other serious environmental changes. http://www.google.com/search?q=environmental+refug ees

  6. Even some OTA is 1080p on 1080p, Human Vision, and Reality · · Score: 1

    I dont have cable or sat but I found some HD broadcasting over the air locally. When I check the info on the signal it shows the image resolution and the audio format. I was surprised that more than a few are 1080p and 5.1

  7. says more about polls than any films on Serenity Trounces Star Wars · · Score: 1

    I think this result says more about polls than any of the films that were voted for.

  8. Re:I'd like one in my next iPod on Samsung's 64-GB Solid-State Drive · · Score: 1

    The physical size is iPod size, 1.8" But there are actually thin 1.8" drives and thick drives. That is why the 30GB iPod is slightly thinner than the 80GB iPod. Thicker drives have more platters. I would happily trade my 80 GB HDD iPod for a 64 GB SSD iPod just for the advantages SSD provides even if it is less GB. My music library isn't even 30GB anyway.

  9. migraine trigger on GE Announces Advancement in Incandescent Technology · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Fluorescent lighting can trigger migraines for some people.

  10. Re:Directnic on Alternative Registrars to GoDaddy? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One great thing about directnic is that if your paid for hosting gets used up from too much traffic (say you get slashdotted) they just switch it to free hosting with a banner. They are affordable and great for small sites if you do not need CGI, ASP, JSP, PHP, MySQL, ColdFusion or FrontPage extensions.

  11. that is why... on The Crossing - A New Way to FPS? · · Score: 1

    ..."they're beefed up, heavily armored, and heavily armed."

  12. no cigar on Startup Tries Watermarking Instead of DRM · · Score: 2, Informative

    from TFA-
    "Because of its design, the watermark even survives most editing changes and format shifts"

  13. hoax? on New Version of Xbox 360 Rumoured · · Score: 1

    Could this be a hoax? Maybe a clever photoshop job?

  14. LOL on Computer's Heat May Unmask Anonymized PCs · · Score: 1

    You need to query a list of suspects and there are only at best 64 unique fingerprints.
    Should I be scared now?

  15. GoW an FPS ince when? on The Games of 2006 Awarded · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think Gears of War is a great game and deserves recognition but since when is it a first person shooter?

  16. Re:Not aimed *only* at iPods on iTunes Sales 'Collapsing' · · Score: 1

    What did you ever do before HDTVs came out if a video quality that is "somewhere between barely acceptable and pitiful" is better than a standard definition TV (480i) ?
    You must really hate standard definition TV. I mean it must look like total crap to you.

  17. Hollywod=inaccurate? on Servers, Hackers, and Code In the Movies · · Score: 1

    OMG code in the movies is not like real code in the real world? Next thing you will be telling me is that cops in the movies are not like real cops.
    Is Hollywood warfare completely different from real world warefare as well? At least I know that all the cars, boats and planes in movies are
    behave and look exactly like the cars, boats and planes in real life. I am just glad women we see in movies are just what we get in reality.
    What real people are not completely good or completely evil? The world is not black and white? Damn you Hollywood for misleading me!

    Get over it. Almost everything in movies is NOT what it appears.

  18. Thanks a lot! on Even The Blind Get Deja Vu · · Score: 1

    I had a recursive-nothing thought for such occasions. It used to go nowhere. But now it is gonna remind me of slashdot.

  19. No big surprise. on Even The Blind Get Deja Vu · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I am sure I am not the only one who is not the slightest bit surprised. In fact I would be surprised if anyone told me that their deja vu exprience was primarily visual.
    Every time I have had it it was a feeling of actually re-living the moment in every way and detail even down to the actions and thoughts I had seeming strangely familiar.
    For me deja vu has been a completely immersive experience where no single one of my senses was predominant.

  20. Video Capture/TV tuner card on Best Way to Grab Movie Clips? · · Score: 1

    I plug a player into the video input on my computer. A lot of TV tuner cards have video capture.

  21. Re:Apple's response on iPods Come Complete With Windows Virus · · Score: 1

    Here is the best part from Apple's response:
    "As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it."
    LOL

  22. Re:Lessons Learned? on The Age of Technological Transparency · · Score: 3, Funny

    So those tubes are transperant tubes, eh?

  23. correct link for how important on How Important is Gears of War for Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    how important is gears of war? here is the correct link http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2006/10 /3/5485

  24. Re:Highbrow games? Highbrow humor = serious? on Revenge Of The Highbrow Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Highbrow humor is not serious. Have you ever heard of highbrow humor? If it screams serious to you then I think you are misunderstanding the word. Highbrow means intelligent. Intelligent can still be funny and fun. Lowbrow humor is aimed at the least intelligent people, everyone can laugh at a fart. It doesn't take much thought. Highbrow humor might not be funny to less intelligent people. Or some may take longer to get the joke. Sometimes humor is so highbrow it is over my head, meaning I am not smart enough to get it.

  25. reminds me of a map I played in Unreal Tournament on The Next Step For The FPS - Advergames? · · Score: 1

    The map was Coke vs Pepsi. I think I might even have played a McDs vs BK map.
