  1. Re:Sweet! on Scientists Attach Bar Codes To Embryos · · Score: 1

    Dang it and I just tossed mine out (from Wired Magazine) a couple years ago. :(

  2. Re:Bad omen? on New Windows Kernel Vulnerability Bypasses UAC · · Score: 1

    How about blocking outbound connections and incoming connections from other infected computers on the local network at work?

  3. Re:Age and other duties. on Have I Lost My Gaming Mojo? · · Score: 1

    Same here. Lack of free time is a problem for me. Also, motivations to play them too because I am so tired from other things like work even if I am single and virgin! It's funny that I am on Thanksgiving vacation and still haven't played any computer games (old games that I need to resume and finish, betas, demos, etc.). I do play Flash games sometimes but they are just quick plays. The ones I enjoyed were posted on http://aqfl.net./ ;)

  4. Re:Finding a place where FiOS is available on Verizon Speeds Up FiOS To 150Mbps · · Score: 1

    Try users' FIOS map: http://www.dslreports.com/gmaps/fios ...

    However, not ALL areas in the cities have it. For example for me: I am in Verzion area. My city has FIOS, but not in my neighborhood on the hills. There's FIOS down the hills! I can't even get DSL (20K ft.!). :(

  5. Re:Time to move away from NVidia now? on AMD Releases Open Source Fusion Driver · · Score: 1

    So for an ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB) in Debian/Linux, will I have easy, good support, and speeds with ATI's closed binary drivers like NVIDIA's? I am currently using my old NVIDIA GeFVorce 8800 GT and GeForce 5200 FX video cards in my old Debian/Linux boxes. They work well even with games, Google Earth, 3D screen savers, etc. I do want speed. I am not crazy about the open drivers since they tend to be slow and I do 3D stuff. :(

  6. Depends. on Do You Really Need a Discrete Sound Card? · · Score: 1

    Yes if you want high end quality (recording studio), hardware features (EAX for games and not software emulation), etc. I bought an Audigy 2 ZS for games. I don't think I will get another SB card since future EAX seems to be dimming or already gone especially under Vista and Windows 7.

  7. Re:Isn't the largest satellite... on US Launches Largest Spy Satellite Ever · · Score: 1

    "That's no moon."

  8. Re:No kidding. on US Embassy Categorizes Beijing Air Quality As 'Crazy Bad' · · Score: 1

    Good thing I missed that decade then. I have been in L.A. since late 1970s/70s I think.

  9. Re:No kidding. on US Embassy Categorizes Beijing Air Quality As 'Crazy Bad' · · Score: 1

    I get that a lot in Los Angeles/L.A. :(

  10. Video on Chess Terminator Robot Takes On Former World Champ · · Score: 1

    English translation please? Also, what is with the pauses with clicks like camera shutters?

  11. My problem with the brain is... on Traffic Jams In Your Brain · · Score: 1

    ... I don't have one. :P

  12. Re:When You Cut Corners... on Lawsuit Shows Dell Hid Extent of Computer Flaws · · Score: 1

    The problem is most stuff are from there and other places.

    I still have several very old electronic stuff that still work well like my Toshiba VCR (only as a backup and recording shows that don't require quality) from dotcom days, 20" Sharp CRT TV from 1996, CASIO Data Bank 150 watch (late 2002?), etc. :)

    I have newer stuff and most of them suck (bugs, crashes, etc.). Ugh. :(

  13. Re:Who are they? on 50 ISPs Harbor Half of All Infected Machines · · Score: 1

    127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x, etc. :P

  14. Re:CGI was exciting at first on Long Takes In the Movies, Antidote To CGI? · · Score: 1

    Then, story will be boring. :) [grin]

  15. Can't read it. on The World's Smallest Legible Font · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My compound eyes were annoyed trying to read them, and I gave up. :(

  16. Re:The privacy/security scale tips again. on National Opt-Out Day Against Virtual Strip Searches · · Score: 1

    How? It's anonymous. :P

  17. On demand payments? on Why There's Still No Netflix App For Android · · Score: 1

    Forget Android... what about on demand payments instead of subscriptions? I don't watch many movies and TV shows on discs and streaming. I love Redbox for its 99 cents and no need to subscribe.

  18. Re:The privacy/security scale tips again. on National Opt-Out Day Against Virtual Strip Searches · · Score: 1

    So, where are you going and doing today?

  19. Re:Seriously though... on UK Twitter Users Declare 'I'm Spartacus' · · Score: 1

    No, I'm Spartacus.

  20. Re:DOOM E1M6 on Long-Delayed L.A. Noire Gets Trailer, Spring 2011 Release · · Score: 1

    Hehe. I bet you knew it in DOOM2's secret level too. :)

  21. Re:DOOM E1M6 on Long-Delayed L.A. Noire Gets Trailer, Spring 2011 Release · · Score: 1

    Is it because you played too much DOOM like me? I was a DOOMaholic. I made mods, maps, visited ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idsoftware/doom.../ daily to download stuff, played a lot, etc. Here's even sadder. I still have DOOM 1 and 2 installed, but with Doomdays Engine stuff. I haven't touched it for ages though.

  22. DOOM E1M6 on Long-Delayed L.A. Noire Gets Trailer, Spring 2011 Release · · Score: 1

    As a former DOOMaholic, I remember that old school map from DOOM's Episode 1 Map 6 (E1M6) [Central Processing]. :D

  23. Re:Malware/Spyware isn't the only problem... on Search Engine Optimization Poisoning Way Up In '10 · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I miss old Google and AV. What current search engines can match them these days? :(
