  1. Re:Stole my wife! on Developer Retrospective on the MMORPGs of 2004 · · Score: 1

    The above comment was intended as a joke. A play on the fact that spam is sent stating that it can help fix your marriage. Since the parent poster had made a joke that WOW had stole his wife followed up with a silly way to get her back. Unfunny?, perhaps. Off topic?, it might be, but no more than much of the babble that is passed off as interesting.

    they boo'd andy off the stage as well....

  9. Re:rut ro on Green Security Clearance Laser Pistol Available · · Score: 1

    Well.. the difference between a gunshot and a lazer comes down to forensics. That and lack of regulation. Someone shoots me in the head and there will be a bullet that is traceable to a murder weapon and GSR will be left on the shooter. There also might be people who hear the gunshot go off and can place the location of the shooter.

    Granted, you could probably snipe me and get away with it... but....

    It would take an emotionally disturbed person to shoot you in the head for no reason. I see kids pointing lazers at peoples eyes all the time. They don't see the consiquences as with shooting people.

  10. Re:what about replaytv on Windows Media Center Edition vs. The World · · Score: 1

    The 5xxx series even lets you pause then go to a different unit and resume. This is all in theory since I haven't tried it but it appears to be setup pretty simplistic. I have shared between the replaytv unit and a DVArchive client running on my laptop.

    I've heard someone complain about their TIVO unit spinning up and making disrupting sounds. I have a replaytv 5504 and it seems completely silent. For another 60 bucks you could throw on a 160gig hard drive as an extra drive.

    Personally I think the subscription is a pretty fair deal. If you use the unit for more than 2 years you'd have been better with the lifetime. On the other hand, technology moves so quick and we are in a transition period in the tv world. With Digital tv rapidly become the standard and other devices coming bundled with these types of features (dvd players) I would guess that you might be looking to upgrade before two years is up. For someone who wants to stay cutting edge, you really can't beat subscription services. If the price of the TV cards came down segnificantly and become as saturated as 3D cards, it would be a completely different story.

  11. what about replaytv on Windows Media Center Edition vs. The World · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I did the math and tried to come up with a good pc solution using myth tv. My requirements were a small case that would fit in my entertainment cabinet and semi old cheap hardware. The tv card winds up being the most expensive component $150 for a hardware mpeg encoder solution. To do it right, you are looking at about $400+ total system pricetag. That's using bottom basement pc components and top of the line pvr card. A replaytv unit costs $50 and a 12$/mo subscription or $250 lifetime. Which comes out cheaper then the mythtv unit. It provides many of the features you would see on a full blown media center type application since it networks with other replaytv units. You can run your pc as a replaytv unit and serve it shows, etc. All in all.. I found it to be the best deal; something that just works and the family can enjoy. There is fun factor to building the mytv unit..but if you are building it to be cost effective then you have to look beyond the alure of the free software.

  12. rut ro on Green Security Clearance Laser Pistol Available · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...Hooked up to a scope, this could be a very deadly tool. This would easily blind someone at a distance.

    I hate having strict regulations on everything..but.. the thought of a couple of kids playing a prank and permanently blinding me while I'm on my way to work is very scary.

  13. The next X-Prize on 2004 MN4 Asteroid Odds Inching Up Again · · Score: 2, Funny

    it can be the next X-Prize. First one to destroy the rock wins.

    On a lighter note.. So, what do you think will kill us first, this asteroid or global warming?

  14. encryption? on "Dark Alleys" on the Internet · · Score: 1

    who said anything about encryption? how about talking in code. Using the MUD reference here.. You could talk as if you are roleplaying.. but in actuality you are planning a terrorist attack. The Shire == LA, Town Fountain == specific building, town armorer == specific target .... who knows... but the possibilities are endless.

    I don't think that our privacy should be sacrificed as the expense of fruitless investigations.

    Umm no. Taking nude pictures against their will is an invasion of privacy. That too is a crime. The whole thing is a crime.

    Regardless, the sharing and selling of those photos will only increase the demand for these horrible acts.

    It's also arguable that someone viewing these photos for the first time and finds them selves turned on, may evolve into something more then just a content downloader.

    It's sad enough posting so "a matter a fact" about an article that you obviously didn't read.. but the fact that this got modded insightful is silly. The fact that an "expert" would have even the slightest difficulty placing this in the homo species makes it obviously different than african pygmies.
