  1. Re:YouTube video... on Acoustic Levitation Works On Small Animals · · Score: 1

    Thanks. How did you find that one? Got any others like ladybug, spider, etc.?

  2. YouTube video... on Acoustic Levitation Works On Small Animals · · Score: 1

    No video clips of the insects and fish? :(

  3. Re:Gears of War Commercial... on History Proves That Videogame Ads Are Awful · · Score: 1

    Ah, I have seen this. It didn't impress me. Maybe the game will. Too bad, no PC port since I haven't own a gaming console since Atari 2600. :)

  4. Re:Gears of War Commercial... on History Proves That Videogame Ads Are Awful · · Score: 1

    Is there an online copy of it? I don't watch much TV and I don't think I have seen it yet.

  5. Cell phones: Old vs. new. on Old Mobiles — the Bad and the Ugly · · Score: 1

    I prefer old because many of the newer ones interferes my bone conduction hearing aid (Oticon 380p -- analog type; not digital). It drives me nuts to hear interferences near a cellphone. :( Analog cellphones did not do this. :(

  6. How about Kernel? on Firefox Losing Its Way? · · Score: 1

    How does Kernel handle this situation when it got big like Firefox? Is the Kernel's sources messy, hard to maintain, etc.? Is it going losing its way too?

  7. Elves! on Tolkien Enterprises To Film Hobbit With Jackson? · · Score: 1

    elves, not elf's. :P

  8. 2000 for me. on Microsoft's Battle For Software Mindshare · · Score: 1

    I still like it. I didn't like 2002/XP and 2003. Not sure about 2007 since I haven't used it. I hope to keep using 2000 for a while in XP. Not sure what I will be using when I use Vista.

  9. Re:Still use them. on Variety Declares VHS Dead · · Score: 1

    Wow, that stinks. Man, maybe I will just buy another friggin VCR again!

  10. Re:More like the cassette than 8-track. on Variety Declares VHS Dead · · Score: 1

    Interesting. How often does this problem occurs? Hmm, maybe I don't want a DVD recorder then. :(

  11. Re:More like the cassette than 8-track. on Variety Declares VHS Dead · · Score: 1

    Inexpensive? I don't think so with the subscription. I don't have cable and satellite, nor do I want it. I just over the air (OTA) antennae for my TV shows. I would like a digital recorder. I use a HDTV tuner card for my computer. It's OK (not that stable) like a dedicated hardware machine (e.g., VCR/PVR/DVR).

  12. Re:More like the cassette than 8-track. on Variety Declares VHS Dead · · Score: 1

    One error? Like what? I thouhgt hiccups would result unreadable spot that can be skipped.

    I was planning to get a DVD recorder instead of a DVR/PVR if my old VCR ever dies.

  13. Still use them. on Variety Declares VHS Dead · · Score: 1

    A lot of friends and family members still use VCR mainly for recording like TV shows because cheap, no DRM, and no friggin subscriptions. Movies are on DVDs. I was going to buy a DVR/PVR a few years ago, but they were still too expensive even without subscriptions. If my VCR (not that old) ever dies, I will probably just get a DVD recorder or something. I only need a recorder. I don't need a TV guide, helper, etc.

    I do have a computer with a HDTV tuner PCI card ($40) that works in both in Linux and Windows. Great card and DVB Viewer is OK, but usable. I use it to record HDTV stuff. VCR is my backup in case my computer does something stupid, user error, or I have another TV show to record during the same hours.

  14. Napoleon Dyanmite + Back to School! on Bill Gates On the Past, Future, and Google · · Score: 1

    More like Napoleon Dyanmite and Back to School movies combined. ;)

  15. Screen savers - sleep on Microsoft One Step From World's Greenest Company · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wished screen savers would pause/stop when DPMS come on. I noticed this in Windows and Linux so far. I also avoid 3D screen savers due to 3D card usage.

  16. Sounds like U.S. to me. on Biggest IT Disaster Ever? · · Score: 1

    That statement also sounds like U.S. too.

  17. There are like four parts. :P on PS3 Opened For Pictures · · Score: 1

    Not just those two. There are two more parts as well.

  18. Re:I can see it now... on A Perspective From a Pro Female Gamer · · Score: 2, Funny

    or videos. ;)

  19. Re:Now that he's a hero... on Linus Torvalds Officially a Hero · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it goes like this:

    Hiro: Linus Torvalds?
    Linus: What? Are you doing this?
    Hiro: You look different without the scar.
    Linus: I don't know you.
    Hiro: Not yet. My name is Hiro Nakamura. I'm from the future, and I have a message for you. I don't have much time. I'm risking a rift just by coming here. The girl. You have to save her.
    Linus: What girl?
    Hiro: The cheerleader. It's the only way to prevent it.
    Linus: Prevent what?
    Hiro: Everything. Listen to me. She must live. The painter, Isaac, go to him. He will know. When I call you, you must tell me where we meet. You told me many times how lost you felt. Before it all started. This...is what you've been waiting for. Be the one we need.
    (Hiro walks away)
    Linus: Wait!
    Hiro: Save the cheerleader, save the world!

  20. v6.0? on Sun Open Sources Java Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Probably v6.0 according to Broadband/DSL Reports.

  21. Re:Pretty open and shut on Jailtime For Leeching Wireless? · · Score: 1

    Which ISP is that? My cable company doesn't allow it. :(

  22. Movie? on Time For Anti-Trust 2.0? · · Score: 1

    I thought this story was about a sequel to the first movie.

  23. "None of above" on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    We need a "None of Above" option. :)

  24. Live Local in non-IE browsers. on Virtual Earth 3D Beta Launched · · Score: 1

    Is it me or did MS remove the non-IE Web browser support in http://local.live.com/ ? It used to work in my Mozilla v1.7.13 when the site was new. Now, I don't get the cool aerial 3D maps anymore unless I use IE6. Or did I miss it?

  25. Video? on The Dolphin With Leftover Legs · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have a video of this old classic skit? YouTube pulled it and I can't find it any more. :(
