  1. Re:Not News on The Incredibles Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    if this is wmv, rm or divx trailer, the size would be a lot smaller and quality would be better.

  2. Re:Buffer checks on XP SP2 Can Slow Down Business Apps · · Score: 1

    it's a debate with long history.

    I like one of the following explanations:
    1. windows has core tied up with GUI, so if there's any problem with GUI, the core will crash as well.
    2. linux doesnot have core tied with GUI, so its GUI sucks.
    it makes sense to me.
    even you dont always need GUI for server management, but IMHO, GUI speeds things up for user and make things easier to use.

  3. Re:Don't call it a monitor? on LG Flatron 2320A 23" LCD Media Station Reviewed · · Score: 1

    dell has the 30' one at 1280*720 resolution for $1699, I remember...

  4. Re:P2P Updates on Is That Pirated Software? · · Score: 1

    my windows xp pro academic edition I bought from university bookstore has problem now, some files seem to be missing. so I called microsoft for replacement, guess what, they want to charge me over $23 + 5 shipping for it since it has only 90 days of warranty. screw it, I am going to use VLK version from now one, while holding this xp pro I bought for $10.

    sue me!

  5. Re:how's it ? on Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence in Theaters · · Score: 1

    I dont like the first movie version of GIS and I dont like the anime series, tried this one, dont like it either. the graphic is not bad, the story is just old cliche like most anime.

  6. Re:MCE is really nice but I am partial to Linux... on PVR's Head-to-Head: MythTV vs. Microsoft MCE · · Score: 1

    there's no pain for tivo until you want to convert the stuff from your tivo into xvid and put them on a DVDR.

  7. Re:Less Movement on Mouse May be Replaced by "Nouse" · · Score: 1

    there's test for connect human neural to control machine directly, I think that would be much better solution than something like a NOUSE.

    so that people with disability can simply connect themselves to a wireless keyboard/mouse kind of control, and control it directly from his "thought", just as they can move stuff around.

  8. Re:Who'll be buying CDs... on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    so far I dont see any useful feature in longhorn for me... so I wont buy it, for sure...

    unless it comes with the dell desktop deal I bought.

  9. Re:If you think looking at images is safe... on Flaw in Microsoft JPEG Parsing · · Score: 1

    it's been long time and it's not just microsoft, most jpeg viewing software I tried can open my cd tray when I view that "open cd tray" picture. :D

  10. Re:Why do we even need the Internet? on One-Watt Wireless Radio Modem Reaches 40 Miles · · Score: 0

    i'd rather build our own p2p network with friends using this where DMCA cant access. :D

  11. Re:A Novel Concept but… on Jetway PT800TWIN - Dual User Hardware · · Score: 1

    not novell at all, I saw similar thing in office depot clearance 2 years ago, it was less than $100, which uses same software license but you can just simply share the PC, 2 monitors, 2 keyboard, 2 mouses.

  12. Re:Looks neat but... on Fedora Project Considering "Stateless Linux" · · Score: 1

    is this similar to KNOPPIX stuff? I used to boot that linux from a CD I burned, which is neat. it says it's good for demo kind of things.

  13. Re:HACKED BY CHINESE on New Worm Installs Sniffer · · Score: 1

    why do you hope so?

    it can be hacked by anybody and chinese hackers are not better or worse than anybody. :D

  14. Re:Too many people trying to use p2p on P2P Web searches · · Score: 1

    u r right, P2P for search will require a lot effort and result isnt reliable

    I think proper cache is enough for web search, as long as you have a farm with tons of memory holding up everything, the search result can be fairly fast.

  15. Re:Battery life on Transmeta TM8800 And Ultraportable Announced · · Score: 1

    since your laptop is so big, the battery size is a lot larger. but this one is probably the one with longest battery for that size.

    I could link my laptop to a UPS to claim that it can last 30hours. :D so size does matter here.

  16. Re:Xbox2 Mod? on Xbox 2 Concept Designs Leaked? · · Score: 1

    xbox is not that successful, comparing to ps2, for product sales.

    but it certainly has good potential, some HD support for game, xbox live! etc.

  17. Re:Well....From the TFA- on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    that might be some conventional weapon called "mother of all bombs".

  18. Re:Does anyone know of... on Science Fiction Writers Discuss The Future · · Score: 1

    left?

    with so many scifi about mad scientists ruining the world and people lack of "FAITH OF GOD" lead them to destruction, they are more like "EXTREME RIGHT" to me.

  19. Re:Any news on Extended RotK Expected December 14 · · Score: 1

    they should release the D10 dual layer double side edition instead, so it's only 4DVDs. and you dont have to change disc for the extended edition

  20. Re:Be nice to Rio on Rio Carbon MP3 Has A 5G CF To Be Cannibalized · · Score: 1

    I've never heard of this kind of action with rio stuff. probably because rio stuff is not cheap at all?

    people have been doing this to the 4G creative muvo stuff and some already did this to the not-officially-released 5G version. the 2nd gen of 4G version has been lock to IDE interface only so they cant use it as CF.

  22. Re:New business model, buy patents and sue. on Altnet Sues Record Industry Over File Hash Patents · · Score: 2, Insightful

    they can patent this? is it legal? using MD5 to identify a file itself should be part of the MD5, right?

  23. Re:Better than PostgreSQL? on Sybase Releases Free Enterprise Database on Linux · · Score: 1

    the postgres java driver I used was buggy and it's not to widely supported

    so many people still use mysql and it's so horrible. I just hope those forums switch from mysql to this sybase stuff so that I dont see those "mysql connection error" any more

  24. Re:A 'good' PC? on DVD / Hard Drive Recorder With 28-Day Capacity · · Score: 1

    well, why pay something that does only one thing? like DVR?

    building a raid for 1T is pretty easy, you just need to stack up 4 250G drives with a raid card, it's actually not expensive.

  25. Re:php style documentation on Dive Into Python · · Score: 1

    well, I dont see fundemental difference of this book comparing to normal programming books

    talk about freeware, why doesnot people PAY to buy a book to learn the language when he can read the tutorials and examples and learn it himself for FREE?

    not to mention for guy who claims "mine does", he still cant get 1Gallon of milk for free, in OUR world.
