  1. Obligatory Shredz64 Mention on First Commodore 64 LAN Party · · Score: 1

    My friend Toni created the Shredz64 project, which brings Guitar Hero style games to the C64: http://www.toniwestbrook.com/shredz64

    And also, to make the controls work, a PS2 to C64 adapter, which coincidentally just started shipping today: http://www.toniwestbrook.com/psx64

  2. Re:Power of the Consumer on Does Comcast Hate Firefox? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And what if the only other option is a Verizon 768kbps connection? Or no other option at all?

  3. Re:Look on the bright side... on No iPhone For 64-Bit Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think you miss the concept of a 64-bit _OS_ entirely. The CPU doesn't matter! An AMD or an Intel CPU running a 32-bit OS will work just fine. An AMD or an Intel CPU running a 64-bit OS will _NOT_ work.

  4. Re:And this make the news? on Boot Camp Flaw Leaves Some Users Fuming · · Score: 1

    It is mentioned everywhere that ALL USER DATA should be backed up prior to partitioning. BEFORE you even install Windows.

    Windows warns you upon formatting that it cannot recognize the partition format, and it could have data on it.

    People were warned. If you botched your install, and lost "critical" data, then you got what you deserved if you did not back up.

  5. Re:Caveat Emptor on iBook Converts to iTablet · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you read the rest of TFA, you would know this is a one-of-a-kind. There's only one person right now who knows what it really looks like, and that's the creator of it.

  6. Re:I noticed this too on AIM Bots: Useful or Spam? · · Score: 1

    And when they do, I will 'cleanse' my list of them.

  7. Re:Efficiency on GNOME 2.12 Previewed · · Score: 1

    lol @ BOTH desktop environments.

    We all know that there are only TWO out there. ...Gnome and Enlightenment DR17.

  8. Re:Paragon city gripped by crime wave! on MMOG Expansions Incoming · · Score: 1

    Yes I was afraid of the same myself. What I found to be a big help is a SuperGroup that is always working on pushing their characters (and alternates) further. If you have a large active supergroup, you always have someone to team with.

  9. City of Heroes on MMOG Expansions Incoming · · Score: 3, Informative

    City of Heroes has also added a patch to their live servers today that includes Player vs. Player action, as well as even more character customization -- body scaling, and tons of new clothing / accessories.

  10. Re:NeroLinux ? on NeroLinux vs. K3b · · Score: 1
  11. Re:NeroLinux ? on NeroLinux vs. K3b · · Score: 1

    Why do you say that? It is manufactured by Ahead, much like the Nero for Windows. Stop, think, and read next time, before posting things like that.

  12. Re:Wow on Torvalds Switches to a Mac · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But of course if he decided to go to Windows you would all have a fit.

  13. Re:Phishing EBay on eBay Scrambles to Fix Phishing Bug · · Score: 1

    I could, for example, list an automobile for sale. The ebay fees on an automobile alone would cost the lister a decent amount of money. Maybe there is no money in it for me (Mr. Joe Phisher) but I can screw a bunch of people over pretty easily.

  14. Re:Offsite on Play it Again, Samus · · Score: 1

    bah, I see.

    Well, then, Zonk... you're next!

  15. Offsite on Play it Again, Samus · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    YOUR site, and you don't even know about YOUR offsite linking policy?

    COME ON!

  16. Re:Easy install Debian? on Ubuntu Beware: Installing Debian with Anaconda · · Score: 1

    gentoo.... Anaconda?

    Surely this must be some sort of a hack.

    Gentoo is installed via commandline.

  17. thinner on What's The Ultimate Multi-Laptop Bag? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Those are definitely not light, or thin laptops. Get a smaller, thinner one. And Dual boot or VMWare.

    Very sparse on the details of why you didn't like VMWare or even if you tried Dual Booting.

    Try it again.

  18. hmm on Nintendo's Lawsuits Aided by Fans · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure there's at least a couple still being sold at Kiosks at my local malls. Is there something "official" I can hand them to inform them of this?

    There's a good chance they don't even know.

  19. Re:what's the point of daddypants on NASA Attempts to Break Record with Mach 10 Flight · · Score: 1

    I got a reply ONCE, I don't remember who from, but I think the topic was grammar. "Whoops" was the reply.

  20. what's the point of daddypants on NASA Attempts to Break Record with Mach 10 Flight · · Score: 1

    I emailed daddypants half an hour ago about the dupe.

    Still, it gets posted.

  21. Re:what were they using? on 4503 Electronic Votes Lost in NC · · Score: 1

    Not all states used electronic voting. We filled out card ballots, and stuffed them into a machine that "read" them immediately. It is likely that the machine was configured wrong, to accept far less ballots.

  22. Re:hear hear! on What Your Choice of Linux Distro Says about You · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Parent is a troll.

    Parent's Parent (Grandparent?) said he tried Gentoo. To try Gentoo, you must compile a kernel. Therefore, compiling a kernel cannot be something you can target.

  23. Re:New Technology on An LCD Display for an Ultra-Portable Desktop? · · Score: 1

    for 3 times more than the real, AGP (PCI-X) version costs, right?

  25. What the hell is blender? on Blender 2.34 Released · · Score: 1

    These posts have seriously been lacking details lately. As someone not currently in the 3d rendering field, I don't have a clue what it is. A short, one sentence description is a MUST for articles about new versions of software.
