  1. Broken on For Unlucky 360 Owner Seventh Time's the Charm · · Score: 1

    Just got it back. My original started crashing more often and then wham...3 Red Lights of Death. The replacement seems to be working ok...but I have only been on it for a few hours.

  2. I saw this happen at a Panera a month ago on "Free Wi-Fi" Scam In the Wild · · Score: 1

    During the major wind storm that hit the Northwest before Christmas and knocked out a lot of power, I went searching for net access and finally found a Panera Bread Co. that had power (and free wifi). Everything was good for a bit... Then the access point went down. A minute later a new "Free wifi" connection showed up and sure enough it was an ad-hoc connection... Needless to say I left and went to another place.

  3. Phisical Media the way to go on Zune Won't Play Old DRM Infected Files · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is exactly why I still buy CD's. I have control over my music (when there isn't a rootkit on the CD of course). I can do what I want with it. I can rip it into unlimited types of formats...and its all DRM free. Plus, I have a backup in case something happens to the files. A new, cool, small footprint, lossless format is devised? Just re-rip the CD and press onward.

  4. Monolith? on Moon's Bulge Explained · · Score: 4, Funny

    There wouldn't happen to be a strong magnetic field at the bulge would there....? How about a black monolith buried beneath the surface causing the bulge....?

  5. There is Waste too... on Basic Internal Instant Messaging Solution? · · Score: 1

    Waste may be an option: http://waste.sourceforge.net/ I haven't implamented it, but a while back I was looking at it to use for my dev team. It's opensource and I believe it was created by the NullSoft (Winamp) guys. I haven't looked at it in a while, so I don't know how stable it is but you could give it a try.

  6. Re:I want Firefly! on Apple Adds New TV Shows To iTunes · · Score: 1

    I second that. Firefly for all! Why can't the scifi channel fund new episodes of Firefly instead of a few of the crappy shows they are currently funding? Thats my question.
