  1. Re:Apple losing direction on Video iPod Available... Sort of · · Score: 3, Insightful

    it would be a correct mod, you are trolling.

    look, you want a card reader? fine, there it is. but to make it built in would be ludicrous. if they did put one in, it would probably not be the card of your preference, so adding even more slots would increase the bulk (and price) on the ipod. secondly, it's a (repeat after me) MUSIC PLAYER. yes, it can be used as a portable hard drive, but that's a niche market compared to its overall first use, bringing music to your ears.

    as for movies, nobody wants to walk before they can run around here. if they had added quicktime movie playback, everybody would be up in arms about why battery life sucks more than it already does. it only gets 5 hours of battery life as it is with STILL images! if you want a portable movie player now, these people can help you. although i doubt you'll like what they have, since again the card reader is an attachment and not built-in.

    Dear Letter, With a chipped XBox, you can replace a fried default drive. Not pretty, but neither are lawyers. XBOX User

  3. Re:MS is getting back at the hackers on Microsoft Bringing TV to Xbox · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Uh.... this is an additional piece of hardware. You also need a Media Center PC.

    They didn't really 'get back at the hackers'. They just took somebody else's good idea, made a sub-par version, and are selling it to those that don't know any better because of their market position. Not that they've ever done something like that before....

  4. Re:Political torrents on Jon Stewart on CNN's Crossfire · · Score: 1

    I would suggest using Net Transport to pull the Real Media files from CSPAN's debate page. Their coverage of the debates was the best of any, as it was just the live feeds of either candidate. And when they were over, no jackass pundits!

  5. Re:Taste? on New brewing Method Means Faster Beer, Less Waste · · Score: 2, Informative

    well, in TFA the inventor stated that the beer "still tasted fine" after using the same yeast after a year's use, so I'm assuming that the first batch tasted fine too.

  6. Check the Spellit on Ubuntu Linux Preview Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Distribution.

    I think we should all chip in and get some OED's (or at least a spellchecker) for the editors.
