  1. Re:Of course not on Gamers Don't Know Their Own Consoles · · Score: 2, Informative

    If blockbuster all of a sudden is half full of Blu-Ray disks, people will become very aware of the PS3's capabilities, just as they did with the PS2. Well... Blockbuster is about do just that.
  2. Re:Here's the problem on Tivo HD Released Into the Wild · · Score: 1

    QAM tuner useless? No. Less useful, clearly... but not useless.

    You see, here in Austin, TX, I only pay for basic cable (yes. the cheapest payment) from Time Warner, but I receive all the local channels in high def via QAM. You just have to be lucky enough to live in an area where clear QAM is used I suppose.

  3. Live Zooming on Google Maps Graduates · · Score: 1

    Wow! It also appears that Google has implemented a simple "live zooming" feature when you use drag the zoom indicator while viewing a map. Although this only seems to be implemented in certain browsers (works in IE, not Firefox), it is nice to see this sort of functionality being implemented on the web.

  4. Re:I don't know about you but... on Mac Sync Finally Comes to the Danger SideKick · · Score: 2, Informative

    The "T-Mobile Internet" plan, which is required for the SideKick, is Unlimited data for $29.99 / month.

  5. Re:common logical fallacy on A Working, Quantum-Encrypted Intranet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Either way, this is referring to encrypted *transport*, which in no way prevents a machine from being compromised.

    Although, validating the authenticity of the source of data using these means could potential reduce script kiddies (think non-reputability)

  6. Qemu on Universal Emulators Return · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ Qemu needs work, but already has several different host-target CPU combinations complete (in the ARM x86 and PPC areas anyway).

    http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ PearPC fills in the gaps on PPC emulation where Qemu is lacking. (I run OS X 10.2 on my PC at work.)

  7. Re:complicated on Just What is a Custom Configured Server? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You should also note that Apple does not accept any third-party returns. Even if they're not functioning!

    When I received my order of Logitech Z680 5.1 Speakers from Apple, they were DOA. Apple wouldn't refund or exchange my order (as stated in their return policy), so I had to go through the manufacturer. And we all know how fun that is!

    Don't get me wrong, I love Apple products... but they really need to be more flexible about their return policies.

  8. 802.11a/g Compatability on Wireless APs in Homebrew Coffee Shops? · · Score: 1

    It's my understanding that 802.11a/g is backwards compatable with 802.11b. However, you won't get full speeds unless all connected clients are utilizing 802.11a/g.
