  1. 98%? on Acid3 Race In Full Swing, Opera Overtakes Safari · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The opera Desktop Dev blog claims full compliance now. http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2008/03/26/opera-and-the-acid3-test

  2. The CHIPS on What Went Wrong for AMD's AM2? · · Score: 1

    AM2 is a great socket. AMD's old CPU's are the problem.
    AMD has been at 90nm for some time now are Intel took the jump to 65nm months ago. and as you can see, Intel is reaping the benifits of it greatly. I`ll consider AM2 when AMD releases thier next generation of 65nm CPUs

  3. Makes perfect sense to me... on Psychopharm Going 'Mainstream' In Schools? · · Score: 1

    When I was 15 I was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed 20mg of Adderall. When we picked up the prescription I recall we wanted to see it's effects. I took one pill at about 6:00pm and I was up the rest of the night laying in bed reading my encyclopedia set. I got to about 'd' before I crashed at 2:30am. It's really an incredible medication, it makes everything boring and tedious become amazingly interesting. You literally 'crave' learning and nothing else, including food or sleep. I stopped taking it because I was losing weight fast because I was never hungry. something around 20 pounds a semester.

    I can definetly sempathize or at least understand why college students would be attrached to something of the sort.

  5. Re:Does a case matter on Treasures or Trash, 5 PC Cases for Gamers · · Score: 1
    The fans these cases use are absurdly small (so they can be really cheap to make)
    Perhaps you should give the article a quick view before you spout off a rebuttal.
    The first case the mention features a monstrous 250mm fan on it's side panel.
    Now cut a blowhole in the top of the case, bolt the fan on top blowing into the case, and get rid of all other case fans. Leave the faceplates off on both sides of the video card so lots of air rushes out that way.
    Moreover anyone willing to buy a cheaply made plastic case isn't greatly concerned with case modding.
  6. Re:Liar on ILM's Datacenter · · Score: 1
    I ALWAYS notice CGI. No you don't. You think you do, but you don't. When you do notice it, you point it out and say to yourself, "that was so obvious, CGI sucks." But when you don't notice it, you don't realize that what you're looking at is CGI. You think it's real. You think the man really has had his legs amputated ("Forrest Gump") or Arnie really did jump his motorcycle off a 15 foot ramp ("Terminator 2"). CGI is used all over the place in movies now, not just for the big explosions that still may not look 100% convincing (however, it's much better than stop-motion animation).

    I'm thinking the grandparent was referring to full scene CGI rendering, not crafty editing. Take King Kong for example, while I was amazed by the detail that was given to Kong himself, I found myself on many occasions being aggravated by the constant use of green screens and full scene CGI. While maybe 80% of people don't notice, I do. I many times wonder just how much money they save by rendering the backgrounds instead of just finding a good location. I also found it ironic that a movie about finding the perfect place to film a movie took so many CGI 'Shortcuts'. I don't always see it, but I definitely see it enough to be bothered by it.
  7. Re:It's in a Sony building on Six New Stars on the Walk of Game · · Score: 1, Interesting

    It's in a Sony owned building. Which is both a little shady, the inclusion of Everquest (against Ultima Online or Meridian 59 for being the first real MMORPG, or WoW for being the best and one with the most players) is only going to help calls of favouritism.
    Hey, I'm no sony lover either, but I really think that sony made the right choice here. But thats just my opinion. ;)
  8. inflamatory.. on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1
    people take the creation story as literal truth, rather then a story about YHWH's power.

    That wasn't inflamatory at all...

  9. Re:Another reason not to buy a DVD burner on 45GB Triple-Layer HD DVDs · · Score: 1

    Although the burners are cheap, the media is expensive and rare. I have yet to see a DL DVD on a shelf. a quick Google shows that a 5-pack of 2.4x DVD dual layers can be had for $37.99. Ever tried burning a 2.4x DL DVD? it takes around 50 mins. so for me, it is quite literally not worth my time.

  10. too many? on Repercussions of the EB Buyout · · Score: 1
    Here we used to have a great game selection.

    Gamestop was in the mall, funcoland was across from the mall and microplay was down the street from the mall.
    Now we just have 3 gamestops within sight of each other. and they all carry the exact same games. no diversity, no competition.

  15. does fios count? on American View On Korean Broadband Leadership · · Score: 1

    I get 4Mbits down for around $45 a month from comcast.
    A moderate deal, at least until verizon showed up. thier FIOS service offers 15Mbits/2Mbits for $50 a month. I can't comprehend 15Mbits for one computer. I don't know about the rest of the country but we are knee deep in bandwidth here...

  19. ideal vs. reality on Fansubbers Under Fire · · Score: 1

    The problem is, it's not perfect. I can attest to the fact that people do not go out of thier way to snap cd's and dvd's containing fansubbed anime. So the process is messy. And although i have seen anime torrents vanish from the web without a trace, high quality fansubs remain on the web for people to download at their leasiure, and then keep. Also with the quality of todays fansubs, why buy DVDs? In fact i may have 18gb of fansubbed anime sitting in my bag right now...or not.

    However consider the amount of money that they make becuase of the fanbase that the fansubs established. Then compare that to the amount they loose becuase of copies that float around the web. I think that fansubs do them a favor.
