  2. Re:This is NOT going to go over well on AOL Opening Up AIM Community to Third Parties · · Score: 1

    Nope that would kill AIM the only reason AIM is able to hang on is because its free. start charging and everyone will switch to msn/ yahoo heck half my friends have at least two if not all three isntant messengers.

  3. Re:A better idea on Battlestar Galactica Available for Download · · Score: 1

    New Buisness model. TV on demand available by bit torrent. trackers located at the studios website. Files playable only in a program you d/l from the company so you can't fast forward through commercials. Yes someone will crack it but the masses wont know how to get the cracked version that lets you skip the commercials.

  4. Re:Not a problem on Floaters are the New Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    "the biggest problem in the world is stupidity, Now I'm not saying stupidity should be a capital crime but why don't we just remove the warning labels of things and let the problem take care of itself." Heard/read this somewhere.

  5. Re:Good news also has bad news on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer · · Score: 1

    I had this very problem. My Solution was to use my TV wonder card and record those three glorius hours. Plus wed. nights with West Wing

  6. Re:Dual head is too expensive on Web Design on a Shoestring · · Score: 1

    17in. arent much at all look hard enough and you can probably get an older one for next to nothing I did. and just use a second video card mine is an old 2mb ATI.

    Macs I know nothing about. if you have a usb TV out you might be able to use that as one i've done it before with an internal ATI before.

  8. Re:What does this mean for the future of televisio on Court Says FCC Out-of-Bounds With Digital TV · · Score: 1

    New Buisness model. TV on demand available by bit torrent. trackers located at the studios website. Files playable only in a program you d/l from the company so you cant fast forward through commercials. Sub DVD but better than analog quality.

    For me recording tv is more to record shows that I would otherwise miss. While I dislike commercials I can live with them just like I live with banner ads.

  9. Re:Dear U.N. on Should the UN Replace ICANN? · · Score: 1

    And lets not forget that the UN is basically in v2.0

    v1.0 (the league of nations) by not doing anything about Germany's invasion of nearby countries made Hitler think they wouldnt appose him at all.

    Hmmm OT but I just thought about this, the past two times the U.S. has tried to sit back and let a region take care of itself we wound up being pulled in to two world wars. Maybe thats why we now try to be proactive and stop things before tey can escalate to that point.

  10. Re:RAR is very popular on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 1

    Even more so since with the Default XP settings you have to go to
    My Computer > tools >folder options > click on the view tab > find the box that says "hide extensions for known file types.

    If you are comfortable enough with the somputer to do all these steps surely you know better than to do it because a e-mail told you too.

  11. Re:So let's see on A Savant Explains His Abilities · · Score: 1

    Good point I used to drive my mom crazy when I was doing math (I was homeschooled) I would get the right answer but how I got it....

    One of the reasons I suck so bad at calculous is that I cant make the connection between the problem and the answer. If I have the formula in front of me I can struggle through it but because I dont understand why I start with this and end with that I cant remember it 5 minutes after you explain it to me.

  12. Re:What about Texas? (Re:the south) on Google Building Tech Center Near Portland · · Score: 1

    Actually most people iin the South don't mind claimin Texas as a southern state. They have the same attiude about guns as we do.

    Georgia Tech is home to the internet hub for this region of the country. They used to be able to use the spare bandwidth but got that pulled when people started abusing it. (KaZaA anyone?)

  13. Re:Hey John. Crossfire appearance was strange. on Daily Show Production Team Nets Creative Freedom · · Score: 1

    well seing as how archaic American English was British English...

    My problem comes from spending to much time on sites with regular international posters. Some words like color/colour are easy for me to keep straight. But I constantly get confused by defence / defense. Thank goodness for spell checker.

  14. Re:this won't be popular on Apple Agrees to Hold Off on Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    I agree this was an interesting case. However I think Apple would have won. Wasnt some journalist jailed / fined for not revealing his sources after a judge oredered him to?

    Too bad there isn't a way to quicksave, see how it would have turned out and then restore to the last quicksave.
    Wow, I really need to lay off Rome: Total War

  16. Re:I'm pissed. on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I always exterminate the populace because it makes the city easier to control and because it's a game my ethics and morality (which normally wouldnt permit me to do such a thing) mean nothing in relation to the game.

    I've played GTA and the thing I like best about the game is that it allows me to do things I wouldnt do in realy life. Run from the police in stolen cars et al

  17. Re:If you don't have time to RTFA... on Napster Has Been Cracked · · Score: 1

    You mean decrease. I dont have an iPod (wish i did though) but I use iTMNS because it's great if you just need that one song for a project you can d/l it quickly and cheaply

  18. Re:The big advantages of books on Web Design on a Shoestring · · Score: 1

    Use a double monitor setup assuming you have the desk space. I love it, I can write a paper on one look up info on the other. Or I can play a game/watch a movie on one and have messenger running on the other.

  20. Hallelujah on Undisclosed Markets to Participate in IPTV Trial · · Score: 1

    One word COMPETITION!! now maybe comcast will have to lower prices in order to compete. Right now they have you locked in to cable for your TV and Internet because if you drop internet TV price goes up too much to make it worth it. Landlord wont allow A Satellite dish and my room mate wouldnt survive without ESPN.

  21. Re:Uhmmm, no. on Where Have All The Cycles Gone? · · Score: 1

    I remember playing simcity classic on an old monochrome machine, loaded it using the old really big floppies (5 1/4?) I used to be able to set it on fastest and then go fix something to eat come back andbarely a month would have passed by. I was amazed when I got a 386 and sim city ran so fast that is skipped months.

    Wait until Ms. Soccer Mom finds out that she can't tape American Idol or survivor and Joe Sixpack cant tape the game while he works the late shift.

    We may finally get the public outcry we need to get rid of the broadcast flag and it's ilk.

  23. Yahoo and google 2 different approaches?? on Google Moves Into Video · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Google looks to be providing transcripts and information of videos whereas Yahoo is providing the videos themselves.

    Compare the results of these two searches for the daily show

    Surprisingly GOOGLE doesnt actually show the daily show just programs that mention it.

  25. Re:Ancient History on Games Better Than Books? · · Score: 0

    Parent is Modded funny but he does have a point. Before I got addicted to Rome Total War I had no idea where carthage actually was. Or where many of the important Ancient cities (Sparta, Rome, Alexandria etc.) were in relation to one another. And I consider myself something of a history buff.

    Now I know much more about the geography and units of the time. And something of the tactics though Rome Total War needs some more tweaking to unit formations and movements to make it completley realistic.
