  1. Re:Remember that on PSP UMD Format Cracked · · Score: 1

    Backing up your own games is not illegal(fair use anyone?), download "backed up" copies, even if you own the game is...
    just to clarify here...

  2. Re:I LOVED TSS on The Screen Savers Reunited · · Score: 1
    Uhhm.. not that im a major fan of cinematech or anything, but i just wanted to point out your somewhat of an error(flamebait?):
    Complementing the gameplay of many high-end games is an extraordinary assortment of cinematics and trailers. The quality of these mini-movies

    uhhm... no.. what they show(or what they used to, i haven't watched g4 for a while) is cutscenes/intro sequences to games, 3dcg/high rez prerendered stuff, and ocasionally a few short(30 sec/1 minute) clips of games that haven't come out yet, but its mostly just cutscenes/story movies from games.. not gameplay.

    and yea, its not that great. either were most of there dud idea's for shows

  3. 300gb? on InPhase Announces 300GB Holographic Discs · · Score: 4, Insightful
    i dont know about you.. but uhh.. that seems kind low, especially from previous estimates/articles.

    at least at this point, its looking like its actually worse than normal magnetic drives, i mean i expected intial drives to be at least 1.5tb

  4. Re:Now correct me if im wrong... on Judge Finds For Apple in ThinkSecret Case · · Score: 1
    "if you had read the article you would have seen that the Judge did NOT consider these bloggers journalists."

    Yes, but no where in there could i find WHY he didn't consider them journalists.
  5. Now correct me if im wrong... on Judge Finds For Apple in ThinkSecret Case · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But isn't there a law that says journalists can protect there sources?

  6. What could firefox hacks possibly cover? on Firefox In Print · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Besides defining what all the value(including the user addable ones) at about:config do.. what much else is there to tell? Editing the source? I doubt the book goes into that...

  7. Re:Pirated means.... on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: 4, Interesting

    No, for corporate edition your not supposed to use winupdate, your supposed to "streamline" the patches into the installer, and install an already service packed and patched system(or reinstall) on all your workstations, which may even be faster then trying to install a patch on a system with weird settings/corrupted files/messed up registry's.

  8. Ok thats nice for all "comcast pro" people. on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 2, Interesting
    But 384k still doesn't compete with DSL, sorry comcast. you fail again. combine this with the fact that your rasing your prices soon im sure, and it will cost just as much as 1.5/768 DSL again for less service.

    Why dont they understand that i dont care about the download? it was more than fine at 2mb a yea ago, i just need more upload. if they had a 1/1 option i would get it in a second, or even a 1/768 for the same price. its bullcrap that they cant provide us with more upload, there just still scared that where "going to run servers". they need to get with the times like speakeasy/ /. dsl and have more open policies. -and better upstream bandwidth-

  9. You might wanna check out the G4 forums. on G4 Drops TechTV Name · · Score: 1
    Do a search on this, this was posted a few months back and kept getting deleated by the staff, but you can still find it somewhere on there.

    Much more in detail about WHY there dropping the techtv name too, evedently people where actually calling them saying things like "You killed techtv, so why dont you drop the name" so there PR department said they should....

    You would be suprised, i have an old laptop.. and its DVD drive looked like there was no way it could physically fit in there untill you actually installed it.

  12. Re:This suprises me. on PSP Opened up and Exposed · · Score: 1

    Ok i forgot something, sony announced that they were NOT going to sell the system at a loss, and thats why i found this interesting.

    There was a "toys and games" shop that opened near my house, i thought nothing of it untill my friend said they were selling SNES games for $2 for any game, buy 2, get 2 free. so i headed down there. turns out they were selling counterfeit systems all the way up to the N64, and every game you could think of...

  25. Re:The most likely reason... on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 1
    Ahhh, thanks for the explanation. See its not that i dont like halo, i think its fine. its a very well done game. its just all these room-temputure IQ idiots spouting "O hey look, this is so great and revolutionary" that annoy me.
    but I suspect people who disagree with the disagreement about Halo's greatness are modding down.
    I thought i came here to get away from that crap, i mean thats what plagues most online message boards... *sigh*
