  1. Re:Sony reserves the right on Sony To Launch First 3D PS3 Games On Friday · · Score: 1

    They haven't already issued a statement saying this feature won't be removed from older consoles? I guess we'll wait for the PS3:2D for them to say that.

  2. Re:wtf? on Hummer Greener Than Prius? · · Score: 1

    I'm just getting more and more confused. People seem to keep correcting me on points I've never made.

  3. Re:wtf? on Hummer Greener Than Prius? · · Score: 1

    That's what I was saying.

  4. Re:wtf? on Hummer Greener Than Prius? · · Score: 1

    Johnny never specified whether he was using miles or kilometers, but based on his 3k oil changes I'd say he was using miles as his units. That said, I owned one honda that died after about 240,000 miles. The suspension started to go and it needed a new front axle because of some bad repair work. It was cheaper to buy a newer car.

  5. Re:Ben Affleck on The Pirate Bay, Featured in Vanity Fair · · Score: 1

    why would anyone bother even stealing gigli?

  6. Re:These aren't the big issues at all on Is Ubuntu a Serious Desktop Contender? · · Score: 1

    3) You can auto-tile or auto-cascade windows under MS Windows? I never found anything of the sort in the 17 years that I've had a copy around. I had to look this up because I haven't even thought of tiling or cascading windows for years, but in windows you just right click on the taskbar and click tile or cascade windows.
  7. Re:Different kinds of innovation on Is Microsoft An Innovator? - The Winer-Scoble Debate · · Score: 1

    Mplayer.com used to exist and let you do many of the things that xbox live did. It kept track of all of your game playing stats on a website. It was poorly executed though and failed. Also, I thought that maybe gamespy did that too, but I could be wrong. I do think that x-box live was kind of neat on a console, though. If you compare it to what PCs could do, not really innovative. Innovative in that it was on a console, but not much else.

  8. Re:Not quite kids with guitars on Bar Performer Arrested For Copyright Violations · · Score: 1

    but what happens when those guitar playing kids start playing in bars? Will the performer get in trouble or will it be the bar owner who is deriving the financial benefit but has no real control over what is played?

  9. I play banjo... on Guitar Hero Is Big Hit With Bands · · Score: 1

    and my question is... when is banjo hero going to come out? I've been itching to complain about it not being like an actual banjo.

  10. Re:What is the answer? on Ask 'Hitchhiker's Guide' Exec. Producer Robbie Stamp · · Score: 1

    it's base 13...

  11. how popular are you? on Online Business Model for a Band? · · Score: 1

    If you're just starting out trying to get your band noticed and promoted, then try submitting your music to web sites such as Pure Volume or music.download.com.

    Take a look at my band's site for an example of how NOT to promote your band. Create a more professional looking site, and give more information.

  12. so... on BitMover Releases Open Source BitKeeper Client · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Is this BitKeeper thing sort of like CVS? It's probably one of those things where if I have to ask what it is, I probably wouldn't need to use it, right?

  13. Re:Tux Racer on Linux Live Gaming Project · · Score: 2, Informative

    there's a script that you can get here called nvcheck to see if your nvidia drivers are installed correctly. You might have to tweak it a bit to make it recognize an Xorg config file if you're using a newer distro, but it should mostly still work and may help you figure out the source of your problem. Tux racer ran fine for me back when I used a TNT2, so it should work just fine on the 6800.

  14. Re:My tinfoil hat on Using a Password One Doesn't Consciously Remember · · Score: 1

    Is your hat grounded? According to this it needs to be in order to be effective.

  15. Re:let's ask him on Bioterrorism Charges Brought Against Professor · · Score: 1

    whitehouse.org is a parody website.

  16. Re:How to determine fragmentation... on Measuring Fragmentation in HFS+ · · Score: 2, Funny

    the opposite of a wrong click.

  17. Re:DRM doesn't happen at the codec level on XVID 1.0 Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    check out dapcentral.org. link

    they use xvid as their codec of choice to preserve old tv shows that might never see the light of dvd.

  18. Re:2.5GHz on E3 Wrapup Documented · · Score: 1

    yep... 2500+. It even runs XP embedded... Specs here.

  19. covers? on Big Brother Will Be Watching You In Florida · · Score: 4, Interesting

    aren't there covers you can put on license plates so cameras can't read your digits?

  20. Re:Another two words on Does A Good Game Make A Good Movie Idea? · · Score: 1

    I just picked up Wing Commander on DVD for 3 bucks... well worth the money if you ask me.
