  1. Re:Put your money where your mouth is! on WikiLeaks' Daniel Schmitt Speaks · · Score: 1

    Some Wikileaks donaters' info was posted to Wikileaks.

    I'd like to see WikiLeaks post a leak of everyone who contributed leaks to their site.

    Or is some information better left secret? There are good things that have come out of WikiLeaks, but the potential for harm that comes along with it sometimes outweighs the advantages. If a site advocating openness of information is keeping secrets, we are straying into hypocrisy, even if it's not out-right.

    What a coincidence... I made an unclothed weapon comment just a few minutes ago on this page. Classic movies, and I just watched them again over the previous two weekends.

    I prefer ZSNES. I'll never change. I used to use it back during its development, on our 266mz processor. It played almost at a consistent, normal framerate.

  6. Re:Mod parent up on FF XIII Timeframe Set, FF XIV Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately my exposure to FF1-FF6 is limited. I've only played and beaten FF1 and FF6. I've played FF4. I own FF5. I lost my FF:Origins disk so I no longer have FF2, and FF3 just hasn't been released on a platform that I own.

    Thanks for the info.

    ;)

    Word is (AIUI) that anechoic coatings will work until another couple generations of Moore's Law work their magic and torpedo designers can pack better amplifiers and signal processors into the fish.

    We need more transistors in our anechoic tiles!

    They leveraged that to win the office suite market.

    They actually have a pretty kickass office suite. If there's one thing Microsoft does 99% well, it's Office.

    There is a section of Seattle where I stay on the highway, but the GPS suddenly thinks I've taken an offramp and begun traveling under the road I'm on. It fixes this in about 10 seconds.

    I'd welcome the opportunity to prove otherwise. I've been managing editor for the last year, and much has changed. Best, Chris

    Tom's Hardware has been the best consistent site that I've gone to for the past four video cards I've bought (spanning many years). I'm happy with their benchmarks, more or less. I can deal with the 15 pages per article, but I am not impressed with that aspect.

    1) It only messes up extensions that try to do the same things it does... try it out and you'll like it. It's very compatible with other tab addons, like Colorful Tabs, IETab, etc. :)

    2) Firefox has always used tons of memory on tabs... this is not the fault of Tab Mix Plus, and I have not noticed anything worse after beginning to use it.

    Wikipedia is more useful than Wolfram.... I just spent five minutes trying various things. It can only find basic demographic info on countries, for example... CIA world book has more info. Try looking up "Japan" or "Korea".... and looking up "Korean" it gives the wrong lexical numerals for Korean... they're from some other language.

  24. Re:We need a "sensationalist" tag on Remote Kill Flags Surface In Kindle · · Score: 1

    I just bought a Kindle 2 (not the DX, that's too big for reading just "book books"). I'm very, very satisfied with it, and although I'm still in the honeymoon stage with it, I can tell I would have never come close to reading this much if I hadn't bought it. If your wife is interested in it right now, then she WILL like it when she buys it or it's bought for her. It's a very, very well-designed system and the screen is amazingly just like printed text on paper. I'm just worried about what's going to happen to the poor thing when I take it to Iraq in a little while. :)

  25. Re:They asked for it on Remote Kill Flags Surface In Kindle · · Score: 1

    And as a side topic, does anybody find themselves as unimpressed with that Turin Turambar poem as I find myself? There's no rhyming and no rhythm to follow. The lack of rhythm is the worst part! If I wanted to read about Turin Turambar again, I would just go back to Silmarillion (which I paid for on my Kindle). The Lay of Leithian, however... that's an AMAZING piece of work. Every line is eight syllables, written by J.R.R. Tolkien, set up in rhyming pairs, with an easy rhythm to follow, telling the story of Beren and Luthien. It's an incredible masterpiece. Oh, and it numbers more than 3000 lines... that's the most amazing part.
