  1. Re:anyone else? on Sony Plans Digital Distribution? · · Score: 1

    It's called paying for convenience. If you pay for broadband, you're doing it now.

    and I think the proper order for you sig should be: "I saw, I came, She conquered"

  2. Re:Yawn! Nothing to see here. on Verizon To Use New Tech With Old Cables · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Oh, you mean THAT Verizon? on Verizon To Use New Tech With Old Cables · · Score: 1

    Considering their advertised speed is about what I actually get with my cable (low populated area so cable speed is ABOVE advertised speed), I may consider getting this. Upload speed is a good notch above my cable service too, just hope they don't get all bitchy when I actually want to use it for more than 5 minutes.

  4. Re:what assholes... on Galactic Civilizations II Breaks DRM Mold · · Score: 1

    "Its not terribly difficult to get past, but most people are too lazy to go through that much effort to play a game"

    but most of these people will not go out and buy the game anyways... they want to play the game with (almost) no effort on their part, so I don't see them putting up the money for it. I've heard this thing is also a bitch to deal with when you use it legit, so thats why they will loose a sale from me.

  5. Re:Women Roleplaying on Female Gamers Duke It Out · · Score: 1

    I have seen across MMO's that girls play a fair ammount... and I can verify that ~90% of the female character sprites that were in my guild at one point were indeed females (the ones that weren't freely admitted it and didn't try to act like girls at any point) and know a few who play as male sprites for 1. avoiding harrasment and 2. gender specific classes

  6. Re:Weakest link? on Investor Money Goes To Magic Lag Reducing Tech · · Score: 1

    I would post my links to indexes of crazy "audiophile gear", but I'm not home right now. Just google it though, its sure to come up with some obviously bogus stuff

  7. Re:Weakest link? on Investor Money Goes To Magic Lag Reducing Tech · · Score: 1

    it says "Network Accelerator card" so even if its not a NIC, it sure as hell doesn't have anything to do with disk IO

  8. Re:What's Not To Like About Upgrades? on The Trouble With Software Upgrades · · Score: 1

    "Bonus: The Murphy Factor - Is there something lurking in there which will make you very, very sorry at the worse possible time?"

    Don't forget to apply the Murphy factor to the actual upgrading and conversion...

  9. Re:Excellent on Aladdin Takes Authentication To Heart · · Score: 2, Interesting

    this sounds like an electrical sensor, so I think it would be easy to replicate. Just like the GGGP (or something like that) said you can use a modified microphone to record it, you could probably use a speaker setup (minus speaker of course) to play it back

  10. Re:Excellent on Aladdin Takes Authentication To Heart · · Score: 1

    Still, if you can gather the data at the reader by simple contact, you can gather the data elsewhere the same way.

  11. hot glue on Replacing the Housing on Your Flash Drive? · · Score: 1

    don't use anything that might disolve plastics (like super glue), fill the inside with hot melt glue, let it cool a bit so its still fluid but not gonna get anything too hot

    and if you can, get a new one soon

  12. Re:Dumb Editors... on Wikipedia Reaches 1,000,000 Articles · · Score: 1

    wow... that'd be a great way to get all the deletionists' heads to explode :P

    ~1,000,000,000 AfD: not notable

  13. Re:Illegal? on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1

    theres either a phone or an "emergency call" button in an elevator

    I guess there'd be a problem with power outages, but its not the elevator's goal to block the signal, and I doubt there could be a case brought up that an elevator was unsafe because of this...

  14. Re:People in movie theaters... on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1

    Thats something I've always thought of with all these cell phones now... if something happens 911/EMS/whatever must get a lot of duplicate calls...

  15. Re:People in movie theaters... on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1

    I think the GP was talking about doctors in the audience that are on call.

  16. knock-offs on Sony's Revolution Killer? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they are going to just make knock-offs. Historically, these tend not to be that great (and I'm being generous there...)

  17. Re:So? on H&R Block Goofs on Its Own Taxes · · Score: 1

    I suppose it matters a lot if you're a stock holder... and I assume this was supposed to be a stable company...

    other than that, it definatly should have gotten the foot, because thats the only reason I'm here

  18. Re:My Setup on How Does Your Personal Data Center Measure Up? · · Score: 1

    haha... in the last pic one of the comps has "never obsolete" on a sticker on the case...

  19. Re:The recent Sony experience on Sony Rootkit may Lead to Regulation · · Score: 1

    I've had similar issues with a VAIO comp a friend of mine owns. He's never getting one again.

  20. Re:Please don't tell me on Olympic Medalist was Spyware King · · Score: 1

    they should be, if he used it as the first thing to cross the finish line...

  21. Re:Sony VAIO on Best Method for Automated CD Ripping? · · Score: 1

    not to troll, but you expect a Sony computer to rip CD's for you?

    I realy don't know but I would suspect they will start making firmware that will stop ripping...

    (yes I'm paranoid. I also dont like VAIO comps for a few other reasons...)

  22. Re:Commander Obvious strikes again. on Online Communities Have Positive Effect · · Score: 1

    People do this in real life also

  23. Re:Atari? on Review: Animal Crossing and Electroplankton · · Score: 1

    The (built-in) hunting game for Sega Master System did almost the same thing... IIRC it could hold more than that in the score feild, but not in the "Goal" feild. Basicly, I had over winning score 2 levels before the last one (IIRC that was aroud 65.... maybe 64?)

    At the end, it plays the "game over" music but prints out something telling you to go out and try real hunting I think

  24. Re:A Day in the Life of Zonk & Taco on Uwe Boll Smash! · · Score: 2, Informative
  25. MMORPGs on Review: Animal Crossing and Electroplankton · · Score: 3, Insightful

    MMORPGs generally don't have a win condition either.
