  1. Re:Well... on Some Bands Still Refuse Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    How are you getting it on iTunes?
    And I don't much like your myspace page as it requires horizontal scrolling.

  2. Why is the page full of Linksys WAP54G stuff? on Download Torrents With Your PC Turned Off · · Score: 1

    Why do they have a picture of a Linksys WAP54G on every page and list prices for them when the article is talking about a different router? Their other articles seem to have ads targeted at the subject of the article.

  3. Re:Cross platform security password compatability? on Upgrading Wi-Fi — What, When, and Why · · Score: 1

    What system does your mother use? I thought pretty much all wireless networking software supported ASCII WEP passwords. And I think WPA is ASCII only, right? Converting ASCII to HEX is not at all a platform specific thing.

  4. Re:Google the next MS? on Google Targets TV Advertising · · Score: 1

    Google is an advertising company. It's not a horribly big jump to move from internet ads to television ads.

  5. Re:Format? on Downloadable Movies from Amazon? · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing it will be protected WMV files, like the other services.

  6. Sony battery not part of the recall on Dell, Sony Discussed Battery Problem 10 Months Ago · · Score: 1

    I have a Dell notebook with a Sony lithium ion battery that I bought in 2004. Apparently, it's not part of the recall. Should I be concerned?

  7. Re:In other news on Gamestop Not Taking Wii/PS3 PreOrders Yet · · Score: 1

    Will they take preorders though? I think I preordered some game at Sears. It was a mistake, as I didn't get it until a few weeks after release.

  8. Re:PSP has some nice games... on EA Pushes Sony on PSP, Price Cuts Possible · · Score: 1

    What do you mean nuked? There are no nuclear weapons in Mario Kart.

  9. Re:I'm just worried that I'll buy on A Different Kind of WGA 'Problem' · · Score: 1

    Well, either call Microsoft or email the administrator of the MSDNAA (or whatever it is) program.

  10. Re:Always looking at the wrong issue? on The Face of One AOL Searcher Exposed · · Score: 1

    I believe information given willingly can be used in court. If a police officer asks if he can search your home, and you consent, they can use whatever they find. The AOL search logs were willingly released, so the authorities could probably use it in a court case. I'm not sure about logs from other search engines that the government asked for. Some of those were given willingly, weren't they? Of course, I'm not a lawyer either, so I could be completely wrong.

  11. Re:Nothing we can do! on The Face of One AOL Searcher Exposed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, AOL intentionally released this. I'm not sure what license they gave it. If it's not illegal, can AOL stop people from spreading it?

  12. Re:My Opinion, for what it's worth on Why Are There No Highbrow Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Did they let you watch television?

  13. Re:Let's look at the provisions. on The 'Truth in Videogame Rating' Act · · Score: 1

    I believe Microsoft requires game companies to provide them with some way to easily play through all of the major parts of the game before it can be released for their console.

  14. Re:And it still wouldn't have helped on The 'Truth in Videogame Rating' Act · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was thinking. Apparently, some people in Congress think video games are more important than the nation's laws.

  15. Re:Myspace taking over...... on Google Signs $900m MySpace Deal · · Score: 1

    Normal movie sites probably have better uptime than MySpace as well.

  16. Re:Good Idea but not practical and too annoying on The Ad-Supported Operating System · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_hour_clock VCRs here use the 12 hour clock.

  17. Re:And, notice the penguins on PR Firm Behind Al Gore YouTube Spoof? · · Score: 1

    I do agree with him about your signature. Even if it is a joke, it detracts from the impact of your message. Kind of like the "Anyone but Bush" thing. Would people really want Kim Jong-il as our leader?

  18. Re:Maybe this link will work. on PR Firm Behind Al Gore YouTube Spoof? · · Score: 1

    Why wasn't that link in the article? Or did I miss it? Anyway, where was Batman in that movie? He should be played by Exxon's CEO.

  19. Re:host on Proxy Sites Offer Secret Passage to Myspace · · Score: 1

    That still doesn't block people using proxies to access it.

  20. Re:Good Idea but not practical and too annoying on The Ad-Supported Operating System · · Score: 1

    In the US, which for the most part uses the 12-hour clock system, midnight is 12:00 (AM).

  21. Re:Of course it's not just Norton on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 2

    CA's EZ Antivirus has also flagged mIRC as a virus.

  22. Re:what about the lucky sevens? on The Next Three Days are the x86 Days · · Score: 1

    I don't think I've ever seen a digital clock mounted on the wall. Kids without watches/cellphones/etc. will have to learn to read analog clocks to know how much time is left until they get out of class.

  23. Re:A reminder on The Next Three Days are the x86 Days · · Score: 1

    Who cares that the dates remind us of CPUs? What format people use for dates is much more interesting. Slashdot seems to use the American way, unless it changes based on where you're accessing it from.

  24. Re:The Aura Interactor on More Worst Videogame Ads · · Score: 1

    This isn't off topic, one of the ads in the article was for this product. I think I remember hearing about the Interactor a while ago. Sound sort of interesting, but I wouldn't use it.

  25. Isn't there an option? on Options for 'Fixing' A Pirated Copy of Windows · · Score: 1

    Try to visit a site that requires WGA, fail it, and there should be an option to pay Microsoft to make the copy legit. I believe it was $150 or so.
    Honestly, I'd just backup and reformat.
