  1. Re:Overpriced on Router Built for Gamers · · Score: 1

    Because it's a big stretch that he might have multiple machines on the same network that might benefit from a high speed connection between themselves.

  2. Re:Microsft releasing OSS? *Blink* on Microsoft Collaborates On Child Porn Buster · · Score: 1

    Seems to me they made a connection between OSS and *fighting* kiddie porn, not getting it.

  3. Re:Permitted live recordings... on EZTree Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    The band say so, but what does the record company (and RIAA) say? That's where the problem is.

  4. Re:Business Model? on Supreme Court Takes Hard Look at P2P · · Score: 1

    Dude...he was talking about McDonalds insulting their employess with low pay, not making people fat.

  5. Re:What are they going to hear? on Short History of Cellphone Ringtones · · Score: 1

    Yeah...who does my boss think he is?!

  6. Re:Those dirty foreigners on Mozilla Drops Support for International Domains · · Score: 1

    I must admit that's the first time I've ever seen that phrase used, and actually thought it was somewhat funny, instead of just wanting to punch the person who came up with it.

  7. Re:What about my backup copy? on Macrovision Releases DVD Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Ask whoever wrote the DMCA

    "Whats the point, coders and online gamers are not likely to reproduce anyways"

    Tell that to my wife and 4-month-old son.

  9. Re:yay! on Hitachi to Release Half TB Drive Soon · · Score: 1

    I have to think that if I was keeping porn at work I'd suddently have a lost job too. :)

  10. Re:Sorry, no telemetry ... on Windows CE R/C Transmitter · · Score: 1

    Who cares what he's building? The radios primary intent (if not only intent, I haven't looked to see what frequency band it's on) is Aircraft.

  11. Re:Pretty cool on Windows CE R/C Transmitter · · Score: 1

    Many of the very experienced pilots in my club (who can program a computer radio in their sleep) don't own laptops, and for the most part have no interest in learning how to use a PC. Nor would they want to lug one out to the field (they already have enough stuff to carry just in the plane and support equipment).

  12. Re:The plane, the plane! on Windows CE R/C Transmitter · · Score: 1

    I realize you're probably joking, (at least I hope so), but in case you weren't, I think you'd be kicked out of the club and/or off the property pretty fast if you started messing with peoples very expensive airplanes like that.

  13. Re:Crashing... on Windows CE R/C Transmitter · · Score: 1
    I don't think this would be my (or anyone else's really) choice for a sailplane radio... At least I seriously doubt that's the intended target market.

    I'm sure Futaba is marketing this thing to people doing serious aerobatics ,3d flying, and helis. Applications where you would never come close to flying for an hour.

  14. Re:Not impressed at all. on Windows CE R/C Transmitter · · Score: 1

    If a "higher-class" radio like this doesn't do as much as their previously "highest class" radio. (mixing, sequences, v-tail, whatever...), then someone needs to be fired. I think it's safe to assume this thing would do anything any of their previous radios would do, and more. As for servos, I doubt it would come with anything, since at that class of equipment, modelers tend to be very picky about servo sizes, torque, etc.

  15. Re:Windows-based? on Windows CE R/C Transmitter · · Score: 1

    On the large photo of the transmitter there's 2 sticks, just like on a standard r/c plane or heli transmitter... I'm sure you still actually fly the thing with those.

  16. Re:What is real "halflife" ? on Transgaming to Support Half Life 2 Under Linux · · Score: 1

    I'm not a physics guy, so I didn't realize that.. Now that you mention it, I get "opposing force", but what is a "blue shift" in scientific terms?

  17. Re:Entrapment on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure entrapment would only be applicable if there was legal punishments involved, not just simply shutting off access to something you never paid for and don't own.

  18. Re:Take a lesson on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 1

    Tell that to my World of Warcraft guild. I think they would be surprised.

  19. Re:Avoiding to piss off their consumer base? on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 1
    "like mandatory "renting" of the game."

    Bet you it's not long till someone makes you pay 50 cents per play for something, just like we used to in the arcade. They'll probably even try and make it cute by making you drop "virtual quarters" into a slot in the steam (or whatever BS client they're using then) each time as it deducts that from your account or credit card.

  20. Re:Not interpreting article correctly... on Ballmer Threatens Linux Patent Lawsuits · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The article only states that Microsoft dominance will last at least two to four years more, it does not imply it might wane after that point. Only that it is a lock until then.

    Taken straight from the top of the artidle:

    Microsoft's dominance in operating systems will continue - though only for the next few years.

    You're right...it doesn't imply that it might wane...it implies that it will.

    Not that I agree...I think microsoft (unfortunately) will be dominant for a lot longer than that.

  21. Re:Infinite Resolution on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 3, Funny
    they were more technically accurate than either of the Fast & Furious movies.

    I achieved that feat playing with Hot-Wheels when I was 8 years old.

  22. Re:Gotta stop piracy! on Steam Registration Servers Overloaded · · Score: 1
    Hmmm...so say someone buys doom 3, opens it, copies the cd's, writes down the serial number, then smashes one of the cds, return it, get another copy, with a new key... suddenly you have 2 copies of doom that work online.

    Think maybe that's why most places won't take software returns after it's been opened? I bet it is.

  23. Re:I dont think its such a bad idea on TiVo to Sell Your Fast-Forward Button · · Score: 1
    Tivo doesn't make my reception any faster.

    It does mine... I watch some hour long shows sometimes in 15 minutes (but usually 30 or 45) because I can skip through all the crap I don't want, and just see the part I'm interested in.

  24. Re:Xbox + XBMC all you need on How Do You Handle Home Media? · · Score: 2, Funny
    "We really got to thank Microsoft for the Xbox!"

    I never thought I'd see a statement like that on /.
