  1. Re:What has AOL done to Netscape?!? on New Netscape Browser Prototype Available · · Score: 1

    Until now, the only reason I can think of is because of the name. A lot of people know what's Netscape and that it had a somewhat good past when it was up against IE.

    I guess they thihk bringing the name back in the browser war will help them.

    I don't see "any" feature that looks interesting in the current phase of the netscape browser.

    Netscape = AOL

  3. The title shall be! on EA Considering Sims TV Show · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Sims, sponsored Juan Valdez and Toto Toilets.

  4. Re:As a Gentoo user on Point-and-klik Linux Software Installation? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What's wrong with that?

    Sure you can be opposed that's fine but nobody's telling you to go for it or nobody's telling the guys at gentoo "ok, follow the klik's way!"

    It's simply more choices and the ones who will prefer this are the migrating users who come from windows. They have to point & click the most possible to get confortable with an o/s environment.

  5. Companies hiring ppl wanting less.. on Who Needs Harvard? · · Score: 1

    Indeed that is true in some cases

    My friend's an engineer at Bell Sympatico and he's heard stories similar to that where Sympatico hired a young student who asked for a smaller wage than another who has certs, more experience and who demanded a much bigger wage.

    Check it out. With some luck, this could be a movie that might give us faith again into those action movies where everything is all over the place.

    Just like Funzo ripping malibu stacy's heads off?

  13. Few Comments on edonkey and sony on 2004 Digital Media Winners and Losers · · Score: 1

    edonkey is a nice network but keep in mind eMule is the best client because of the many tweaking ability and it's clean cuz its open source.

    As for Sony being #2 in Losers, they imo deserve a lower slot like 5 or 6. While ATRAC is a codec that provides you very limited possibilities (so many little choices of bitrates), the players themselves aren't bad in terms of features such as long battery life (at least on the NetMD, ~45-50 hours playback), 5-band equalizer and the great remotes that makes make it so you don't ever (almost) reach your player to do changes.I think the problem with Sony was really the Software and the Codec itself. If the Minidiscs supported mp3 playback and if the software Sonicstage would of been better (such as better interface and more functionalities) than what it is today, then it would of been a nice player to own.

  14. Things obvious that you ignore on Iran Cracks Down on Internet Sites · · Score: 1

    People that supported/support the current Regime are old/elders who have ideals that:
    - The wife stays home, takes care of kids, the Dad works and brings money
    - All women should hide skin
    - Alcohol leads to chaos
    And more similar bullshit that north americans followed back in the time of WW1 when things were like that here (Remember in Simpsons where the guy takes the picture of the women showing her ankle and drools?)

    Thing is, today in Iran, a pretty big portion of the population is the new generation, young citizens that are getting really fedup with the regime's censorship technics and lack of freedom. They are the ones in the universities who are aware how life is outside. Problem is, what choices do they have? Currently their only way out of this as I see it is another Revolution but one where most should get involved so we could see some result. This is a problem in Iran that needs to be solved by Iranians for future Iranians. GWB is not needed! It may not happend today and it may not happend tomorow but I'l bet my last monopoly dollar that there will be one.

    I know this because I have family in Iran's Capital Tehran that are trying to find ways to get out of the country because they are missing all the freedom that is taken away from them from those bearded a*saholas. Currently, people living there have no liberty.
    Theres no clubs, theres no night life.
    It's hell for tourists. If you are caught with a camera or taking pictures in the cities you are screwed bigtime and will be questionned
    Anything remotely fun must be done in secrecy.

    You can't just say "They got what they wanted" Because what the population wanted back then surely isn't the same as what they want today.

    A revolution will happend one day or another in Iran to overthrown the mullahs. I'd prefer that than GWB getting involved.

    I wouldn't piss in your mouth if your throat was in fire but I'd surely "tubgirl" in it.

  15. Re:And..? on Sims 2 Hacks Spread Like Viruses · · Score: 1

    It's a mystery just like why people buy every sport title from EA every year. Hardcore fans in that case but in the case of Sims? Who knows.

    Oh I know, maybe it's to take off some rage. You simulate the life of some pissed off Sim who decides to go punch Lenny right in the back of the head. It all makes sense now!

  16. Springer - Dr Phil! on Sims 2 Hacks Spread Like Viruses · · Score: 1

    Watch out. If they do it, they'll receive complaints and their solution will be to make a Dr Phil add-on and I don't think you want that, or do you ^^

  17. From Simpsons on India's Cops Meet Technology · · Score: 1

  18. Today's Computer LCDS are 12 &16ms. on CRTs Still Beat Flat-Panel TVs · · Score: 1

    So, you need maximum 16.7ms refresh rate to view NTSC and 20ms to view PAL

    Yeah so? with the wide choice of lcds rated at 12 and 16ms pixel response, that is very possible. Problem is, it seems that most of them rated at 12ms are 17" and 19" but for LCD's the 17/19 always had the best specs as opposed to 20/20.1 so it shouldn't be long. we will have big monitors with those pixel response rate before DNF! (Sorry, but too easy :/)

  19. He'll go to the Caymand Islands on "Spam King" Agrees to Stop Spamming For Now · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wallace: I'm sorry, I cannot divulge information about that customer's secret illegal account.
    Oh crap. I shouldn't of said he was our customer.
    Oh crap! I shouldn't of said it was a secret.

  23. What about the color intensity? on Astronomers Solve Magnetic Fields Mystery · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it the magnetic fields also that makes it so in a nebula, a part of it can look more red than another. Let's say in one part of a nebula, the field is stronger and more matter/gas is attracted within that field (if thats how it works.) would that then create all the variations of whichever color that the star creates depending on how and how much gas is spreaded throughout the field?
