  1. Re:How is this a Troll??? on Fox Starts TV Production For Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    I really think /. should display WHO exactly mods what posts.. and let us bomb that turd's karma to hell based on that.

    It'll be beautiful, I tell you, especially if they walk into a lamp post while doing it.

    How can he say FF is not a threat if he hasn't even downloaded and installed it?

    Many friends I know were reluctant about installing another weird name browser until I do it for them, and from then onwards IE is history

    Wouldn't you rather say 802.20 phones?

    Wake me up when an ad for a phone goes something like this:

With our MLP, you can use your phone to COOK food, that's right! Plus our new phone allows you to chat with friends, change TV channels, cook food, and order more food online.. all from your couch!

  8. Conversations on Gmail Adds POP3 To Email Accounts · · Score: 1

    Is there currently a POP3 client that supports grouping of messages into conversations?

    'nuff said.

  9. Re:The catch is.. on Gmail Adds POP3 To Email Accounts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My guess is that they'll inject adverts in to your e-mail when you download it using pop. The move wouldn't make sense otherwise.

    Have you used Gmail before?

    Having used their web interface.. it DOESN'T MAKE SENSE to actually download all my mail and read it on a mail client.

    The interface is so clean, and things load so fast, it is amazing.

    Contrast that with email clients.

    I'd say there is a lot more appeal to the web interface that just the ability to POP and the 1GB space.

  16. Re:False Alarm on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1


    With so much hatred and FUD being spewed here, I wonder how people are going to even last the next 4 more years. We already have people foaming at the mouth over the election outcome, and are trying to come up with ways to "prove" the election was "stolen."


    The good news is.. you don't have to!

    John Titor's account revealed that there will be a civil uprising in the US next year!

    which IMO are crap compared to Intel.

    What's wrong with Asus boards btw?

    I never bot an Intel board despite the cheaper price because they are so crap!

    Even if you are into server boards, you'd buy from Supermicro instead of Intel. Their boards are like.. Pfft.

  18. Re:I don't see how this helps them crack anything on ATI's Athlon 64 Chipset with Integrated Graphics · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately the newest nForce4 won't have integrated sound.

    It's a decision by nVidia apparently.. seems like for those nice Soundstorm chipsets they are also paying Dolby good money.. so they dropped it from the newest line.

    The new ones will just have the usual AC'97 support :(

  19. Re:Good to see some competition on ATI's Athlon 64 Chipset with Integrated Graphics · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Intel's butt is finally getting ripped. AMD's traditional achille's heel used to be chipset support, but now with ATi and nVidia backing them (instead of just that 1/2 assed VIA), things are gonna get better!

  20. Re:False Alarm on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 0, Troll

    I guess the main question is whether or not these differences are enough to change the outcome. Even Kerry admitted those 150,000 provisional ballots wouldn't help.

    Of course a mere 150000 wouldn't help, not after 1000000 votes were probably rigged to go to the other side :(

    Don't chargeback unless you have a damned good reason to (credit card stolen). If you chargeback often it doesn't matter what your credit record is like .. your card will be useless.

    Not really.. one year later and.. "Holy smokes! New card in the mail!"

    If you have multiple cards you'd do just fine.
