  1. O great.... on Turn Real Life Into A Cartoon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now i have to put up with DIGITAL cosplayers, "hey look, i edited myself to look like some anime character" i'm going to LOVE this....

  2. Re:Why YES, I have had problems on 2.4GHz-Friendly Phones? · · Score: 2, Informative

    hmm, i have 2.4ghz phone and it never compleatly knocks down the network, it just slows to about 5.5mbps(i have 802.11g)the trick is to get an older(about 2001) panasonic phone, my friend got one of these and it never takes his network down either(same one i have)

  3. Re:The best overclock on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    i cant remember the site, but someone had (and could prove it) overclocked a 1.13ghz P3 to 9ghz. really. i remember that i was a big media bltz for a little bit and he was using some kind vapochill-type cooling system. it was in pc-gamer magazine and on some website(i wish i remembered) this was in 1999 IIRC

  4. hmm lets see... on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    well, i: dropped my cell phone in a fountain, shorted the battery out but i shook it a few times and it still worked, i once ran my old p3 for almost a month with a dead cpu fan, it browned a section of the mobo but it still works fine i punched my 486 for some reason(dont remember, it was long ago) so had that it dented the case and unseeted half of the ram chips(6 i think) but it didnt crash, kept running for the rest of the day. opened it up to find that a bunch of the ISA cards had fallen out, messed it up a little, one of the ISA slots never worked again, i overclocked it %50 percent to 66mhz and then, since its heatsink was so huge(it was an OLD server) i overclocked it to almost 200mhz, stable! i found out later this worked because i wasnt changing the bus that the memory was on, there was a seprate bus for the cpu! where the abuse part came in is evendently the punch loosened the heatsink, because a few days later 3 things hapened, 1.the second case fan burned out 2.the harddrive burned out 3.it literaly burst into flames! i was suprised at how long it lasted overclocked though

  5. Re:Must...have...cable...management! on The Ultimate Nintendo Console · · Score: 1

    i never saw a SNES wireless controller that didn't suck, same for the n64, although the wavebird(NGC) is the best one ive ever used. also, i still dont see why he didnt just use a shuttle, after all a fast pc can emulate ANY current game system.

  6. corupted images.... on Halo 2 Website Puzzle Confounds · · Score: 1

    try opening up the images that look corupted in notepad, they have bits of strange text in them like(originally without the quotes): "WShe cut her a" some are samller like this one: "and !" the weirdest one is "cutebee.gif" from teh main page: "wall was low and" there is much more if you have the time, it just seems like a hack that someone did as a joke. i think that maybe the Halo 2 video may have been edited also

  7. Wuh? on StorageTek Blocks 3rd Party Maintenance with DMCA · · Score: 1

    as i always understood it you owned the HARDWARE and "leased" the software, you can do whatever the dumbf*ck you want with the hardware as long as you dont mess with the software/firmware but it seems thats changing to a you-lease-everything model now. o well soon no one will own computers, will just lease them all from aoltimewarnermicroftsonyhonda(big merger coming soon)

  8. o great on Cardboard WiFi Antenna Upgrade · · Score: 1

    next its gonna be "the water antenna" and then what "the air antenna, just imagine it and it works" all they do is have a guy come to your house and adjust your current antenna....... o well. life just gets dumber dont it

  9. funny thing is.... on Video and Software Downloads Overtaking Music · · Score: 5, Funny

    my MOTHER got me started on downloading movies, she said "o is that new denzel washington movie, ya the the man on fire one out yet?" and i said no. so then she said "well i one of my friends said there kids are downloading movies, you have whatchamacallit broadband couldnt you do that" she pestered me untill i burned her a vcd. good job mom. set an example, on how to GET ME IN JAIL!

  10. its always about money on Bypassing Intel's Overclock Limit Reveals DDR2-667 · · Score: -1, Troll

    everythings about money, this is just a stupid scam by intel. o well i'm happy that abit bypassed it

  11. wireless ALREADY has great range on Pushing Wi-Fi's Limits: Problems and Solutions · · Score: 1

    i'm using my neighbors wireless right now and i dont mean nextdoor, he lives 4 blocks away! the signal usually doesnt cut out that much but when it does then everything i'm sending get curup!#KJH!KJ#H!BNMSDUIAYHKJ as i was saying everything gets curupted, but at least i get free broadband(w00t i'm gonna bittorrent all night)

  12. not gonna hapen soon on Notes From 3rd Annual Space Elevator Conference · · Score: 1

    i always thought this was a cool idea, anyone remember that really weird book about this? that rocked. if you still dont get the point its that there will be a space station at the top and the elevator can shuttle up space ship parts and people. and i hope they have at LEAST polyphonic elevator music by then as all the current stuff sounds like monophonic ringtones on an old kyocera cellphone.

  13. Great just great on Net Sticky Notes All Over London · · Score: 2, Interesting

    now my anoyying neighbor will put one in front of my house that says "plays loud music at 9pm" o and what about notes in another languages?

  14. Overflame on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 2, Funny

    i had overclocked my 486 dx2 to 66mhz(originally 33) just for something to do, it worked VERY stably for about 8 months then it started smoking, a LOT and then all it would do is give me "non system disk or disk error" and fill the screen with numbers and then freeze, i openened it up and an area of about 6 inches around the CPU was burned black. needless to say i lost EVERYTHING and i couldn't afford a new computer for 3 years. STUPID me

  15. The comcast USERS get it even worse on Comcast Port 25 Blocks Result In Less Spam · · Score: 3, Interesting

    one of my friends has comcast and he quit using his comcast email because it was getting spammed big time before he had even used it for anything, so its even worse for the users, there not blocking port 25 within there own network are they?

  16. o great, digital cowboy bebop on Can A Bounty System Cure Spam? · · Score: 1

    just wait untill they start selling online tracking software, i bet there will be very little spam and a few rich script kiddies

  17. holding off till 1.0, at least on Firefox 0.9.1 and Thunderbird 0.7.1 Released · · Score: 1

    i'm still using 0.8 and i intend to stay with that untill at least 1.0, see i dont upgrade my sofware at every little increment if its working fine, but i will get the major upgrades just in case theres something good about them, one exeption: i check the firefox site, and if there are any major security holes(which i REALLY doubt) i will download the update. but otherwise 0.8 is stable for me
