  1. Re:I realise this is totally unacceptable on Using My PC For Plain Old Telephone Service? · · Score: 1

    If you're on call 24/7, I'm pretty sure that whoever's calling you would understand that you don't sit by the phone waiting for it to ring.

    Also, when the phone rings and I'm watching a movie, I pause it. That usually keeps it from making noise while I'm on the phone.

    As opposed to letting the government solve it with a gun?

    Where do I have to sign up to join the club?

    Maybe you shouldn't be slacking off and watching tv/movies while you're supposed to be working?

    Did it mention the comic book? Graphic Novel.

    Because, as far as this comment thread goes, we were discussing playing a video game?

  7. Re:Am I the only one on Yahtzee Deconstructs the E3 Trailer Park · · Score: 1

    Can you name a game you weren't excited about before E3 that you ARE excited about now?

    The games I've got pre-ordered were announced a while back, and there hasn't really been any step-up in information being released about them for E3.

  8. Re:Unbiased? on Yahtzee Deconstructs the E3 Trailer Park · · Score: 1

    What's the last FPS with a good plot you can think of?

    And I mean a GOOD plot, not "zomg alien demons on mars." Or "kill Koreans for 30 minutes followed by insane alien bullcrap."

    It's single player. You can't visit your 'friends.' Also, there is an in-game setting to only download community content that has been reviewed and okayed by people at EA. Meaning no dicks, tits, or balls.

  10. Re:Nice... on AT&T Could Cut Off P2P Users · · Score: 1

    It already exists. Operating p2p software goes against the "cannot operate a server" part of the contract most ISPs have.

    I haven't heard a single ad on XM radio...

    OP didn't ask for an open source voip app.

  13. Re:Tr2n? on Bootleg Tron 2 Trailer Is Out In the Wild · · Score: 1

    In Driv3r, the 3 looks like a backwards E. The number 2 does not look like an "o" at all.

  14. Re:Business as usual on Sirius, XM Merger Gets FCC Approval · · Score: 1

    Indeed, I only use my XM when I'm at home and want to listen to some new music. When driving, I use my iPhone hooked up to my car's Aux Input.

    What gets me, is that it was cheaper to get the iPhone than to get the XM radio installed in my "XM READY" car. $630 for the XM antenna and decoder card vs $199 for my iPhone.

  15. Re:Oversight as usual on Sirius, XM Merger Gets FCC Approval · · Score: 1

    I've been using my XM subscription a lot more recently, and I've noticed that the stations I listen to also repeat the same crap over and over. Squizz is the worst with it! I mean, how many times can someone hear "Too Drunk (to Fuck)" before going on a killing spree? Also, how do you go from Tool, Godsmack and Nine Inch Nails to Nickleback and Kid Rock? I don't think there's any way of making that transition smooth.

  16. Re:Open source VoIP alternatives? on More Skype Back Door Speculation · · Score: 4, Informative

    From the wikipedia link you gave:

    "Unlike its competitor network Skype, the Gizmo5 network uses open standards for call management, the Session Initiation Protocol and Jabber."

    Maybe the story is "comcast, the company that actively tries to make their customers miserable, is now stalking them across the internet."

    I mean, they're the company that destroys the quality of HD channels to fit more channels in...

    Sometimes I get the feeling that even YOU don't believe some of the insane things you ramble about on here.

    Maybe it's you who has the strange understanding of the word. People use the word 'never' all the time, but they don't actually MEAN "not ever." What they most likely mean is "not in the foreseeable future."

    Knowing about a dumb deal and subscribing to Sirius satellite radio are two different things.

    "how long until we see automobiles that come with a free B.S. receiver but the terrestrial receiver (AM/FM) costs extra?"

    Never. A lot of people like the idea of local radio with weather, traffic, and news. And as long as a lot of customers want the free AM/FM, the car companies will include the radio.

    Well, shit. Kinda sucks that all these studies were done on the topic, seeing as how you know all things! Someone should have just asked your opinion on it, someone else should have etched it into stone, and we'd be done with the whole thing!
