  1. Re:How is bittorrent a business model? on BitTorrent Becomes Ever More Legit · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if they compensated you for your sharing of bandwidth by subsidizing your subscription costs. If you share more and help the service, the price drops significantly.

  2. Re:A list of suspects on Miyamoto Hints At Second Revolution Secret · · Score: 1

    Or maybe, Nintendo hit a brick wall with their crazy new controller and need help coming up with more ideas. "Make a controller that can store games? Don't mind if I do..."

  3. Something new! on Hard Drive Window · · Score: 1

    One might think with all the talk of this being old news, that the frequency of posts bringing this fact to light would subside. But they are going just as strong as the old news, dupes and reposts. We got it. Someone has already done this. Stop telling me.

  5. Re:Patent or trade secret? on Mad Scientist Invents Colored Bubbles · · Score: 1

    Somewhere (I think on the Zubbles.com website) it said the formula was patent pending. I'm curious who holds the patent...it doesn't sound like Kehoe really did much once Sabni the Chemist got involved. I hope he is taking home a thick slice of the pie. Especially since there are so many more applications to this dye than bubbles.

  6. Re:Canada is NOT cheaper on The Problems with Broadband in America · · Score: 1

    Thats fine. I'd kill to pay that. Comcast charges me a "discounted" $45/month for cable internet (when purchased with cable tv). The regular price is about $65/month plus modem rental, plus installation fees.

  8. Re:Obesity on Nintendo & McDonalds Providing WiFi · · Score: 1

    This is exactly why the partnership is "groundbreaking". ;) With all these McDonalds addicted video gamers in such a confined area, they are sure to do some damage.

  9. Re:mods: funny?! on New Legal Threat To GMail · · Score: 1

    you know of any articles talking about their legal action? I'm trying to find some more info about this...like a legitimate article or document regarding their legal actions against another company. I found this but it doesnt look very professional. No references and I cant find this anywhere else.

    What company is this...where can I find some information about this situation?

  11. Microsoft too... on Death Penalty For Hackers? · · Score: 1

    Well if hackers are going to get the death penalty for crashing machines and causing problems, then its only fair for Microsoft to receive the same.

    I'd like to hear what he has to say.

  13. Advantages of Linux... on Ask Microsoft's Martin Taylor About Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 1

    We have head much on Microsoft's stance on Linux and the numerous qualities Microsoft feels are advantages over Linux. What do you think are the biggest advantages that Linux has over Windows and why?

    Damn...isn't anyone lauging at Cygwin? I guess everyone takes Cygwin seriously but me. Also, I reply to myself.

    It's got the best of linux AND WINDOWS! w00t!

    P.S. Made you look.

  16. Re:zonk on Editorial: On the SpikeTV Video Game Awards · · Score: 1

    People always say that...and it makes me tired. If gorgeous women are so rare, then the sheer bulk of ugly/unattractive women should put people in check, shouldn't it? There are even MORE average-looking women, and since these abnormally beautiful women are so hard to find, we are bombarded even MORE with what a "real woman" looks like. It is not entertainment when it is the same as everyday life...only really great-looking and/or really terrible-looking people are considered entertainment to me (HEY...LOOK AT THAT!).

  17. Re:Shooting and Editing on Ask Director of 'Trekkies' Roger Nygard · · Score: 1

    It says on the Six Days In Roswell homepage that he used 16mm film to shoot and converted it to 32mm for the final feature. I didn't check the Trekkies 2 site.

  18. Director? on Ask Director of 'Trekkies' Roger Nygard · · Score: 1

    According to the Six Days In Roswell website, Roger Nygard didn't direct the film...Timothy B. Johnson did. Nygard produced it.

    i've seen it mentioned 2 times today and I feel out of the loop.

  20. Re:DS wins on Nintendo DS Network · · Score: 5, Insightful

    the p2p lilypad-style network was only speculation and has been denied by those who actually do know "the secret". Nintendo has a great track record of not half-assing stuff. From the get-go, Nintendo has asserted that their product would be "revolutionary" - and they maintain that the revolutionary feature has yet to be revealed. It seems fairly obvious to me that they do not, in fact, intend to "strap a non-trivial piece of hardware" on to their system. On the contrary, it seems that a great deal of thought and planning has gone into this.

  23. I STRONGLY AGREE... on Open Source Alternative to Dreamweaver's .LBI? · · Score: 1

    Anyone looking for the one of the best editors ever better check out Eclipse. Any feature you might need can easily be found as a plugin. If WYSIWYG is your thing, there are even plugins under development for that. I highly recommend Eclipse Colorer...excellent syntax highlighting for almost ANY code type...even PHP, CSS, javascript and HTML in the same document! Look it up. Then use it.
