  1. They Lie! on The Video Game Pianist · · Score: 1

    They say all their music is origional work from Japan. Yet they do an acapella version of Korobeiniki, which is most definentally Russian. They were confused because it was in Tetris, which was on a Nintendo system.

  2. Re:I just don't understand on Telegraph Reviews Hitchhiker Movie, Approves · · Score: 1

    Do most theaters have the $5.50 for a matinee ticket? (If you go see it before 6 PM) The one I go to does, so I pretty much only watch movies before 6. Anyway, I'll probably go see this movie.

  3. Check out some of those 3 inch red shots on Satellite Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    Not in google maps, but in the keyhole client. Cambridge, some parts of Los Vegas, and downtown San Diego. Probably mentioned before in another aticle, but it's pretty cool.

  4. I use adblock so more ads get through on Does Adblock Violate A Social Contract? · · Score: 1

    I just adblock ads that are really annoying or that I don't feel like looking at when I'm viewing the site. This block most ads automatically, at least it did when I was using it a while ago.

  5. Re:We've also had luck with IMNTV on Hollywood Looks to BitTorrent for Distribution · · Score: 1

    I see the video is at launch also. I wonder how many people watch it on there. Nice video, BTW. Pretty funny. And I perfer videos that have things other than just the band performing. I like music videos like gorillaz. And to someone else who wanted an alternative to quicktime for viewing mp4, use VLC.

  6. Re:Portable? on XBox 360 Designed for Portability? · · Score: 1

    It's more like Foxlink made a crappy PSU. Foxlink, along with Thompson, were bad choices to buy parts from.

  7. Re:Does nintendo still sell the games? on FBI Cracks Down on Piracy of Obsolete Game · · Score: 1

    Yes. They sell old NES games for the GBA such as Super Mario Brothers, Ice Climbers, and Donkey Kong. They also include NES games in Animal Crossing, which is a selling point for that game.

  8. Re:Makes sense to me on Google Readies Platform for Video Distribution · · Score: 1

    Why not just upload the free videos to archive.org? No ads, no possabilities of fees.

  9. Re:Blame Game. on Skypecasting - P2P File Sharing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What recording laws apply to talking on skype? Federally, only one person needs to be informed of the recording. So does that law apply to state-to-state calls? What if I skype someone else in Michigan? Would I have to inform them before recording? I would normally, so I think I would have to.

  10. Re:I think this is a sign of... on New Xbox Titles Through 2007 · · Score: 1

    I see it more as a sign that there will be backward compatability. Why make new games for xbox that xbox 360 users won't be able to play on that console? They used Forza at the GDC to show off some of xbox 360's new features. It's very plausable that they just didn't want to show off any new games yet, but what if Forza will operate like that on 360? Of course, I believe the first explanation is much more plausible.

  11. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    But then there would be no more horsey/poney rides for a penny. :-( (For those that haven't been in Meijer stores, they have mechanical horses that kids can take rides on for a penny.)

  12. Re:Do you know it's about them? on EFF Guide To Blogging Anonymously · · Score: 1

    I meant my real name.

  13. Do you know it's about them? on EFF Guide To Blogging Anonymously · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How do you know the search results pertain to your prospective employee? Both of the search results I get when I search for my name in quotes are about someone else with the same name as me. I believe he also happens to live pretty close to me.

  14. Re:hate to sound like a troll on Black Ops Game Projects · · Score: 2, Informative

    It isn't on the front page unless you set your preferences to show all game articles on the front page.

  15. What is futurama? on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 1

    Google returns: Web definitions for Futurama made a guest appearance as part of a team guarding the space-time continuum, which included Al Gore, Nichelle Nichols (from Star Trek), and Gary Gygax encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Stephen_Hawking - Definition in context Seems more like an answer to "Who is Stephen Hawking?" Perhaps they should use Googlism answers. They'd be more funny. However, it returns many answers. I like "matt is smarter than you" when searching for who I am.

  16. Re:this patent madness on VLC & European Patents · · Score: 1

    What about these projects being hosted in the US via sourceforge? Nothing seems to be done about them.

  17. Re:AMR Codecs on Ride Along With a Real Verizon Wireless Tester · · Score: 1

    Realplayer works for windows also.

  18. Re:That brings back memories. on Video Games On Demand Via Cable · · Score: 1

    Sounds like what Dish Network is doing with their interactive games. PlayTV and the like. Although, for those games, you need to wait to play a specific game. I think they should just cache all the games to the hard drive.

  19. Hopefully, the jury won't be stupid on U.S. Blogger Breaches Canadian Publication Ban · · Score: 0, Troll

    I hope that the jury chosen for the sperate cases of these people wouldn't be stupid enough to only rely on what that blog says. The "Republican National Convention Offical Blogger" and "Blogs for Bush" images sure reveal his conservative, anti-liberal bias. The whole thing pretty much just says "Liberals are evil, elect conservatives".

  20. Re:Toonami on Cartoon Network's 1st Original 'Toonami' Series · · Score: 1

    When I think of fansubs, I think of the ones I've seen. Which are some really crappy quality DBGT (divx 3.11a) and YYH subs. I haven't downloaded many recently, as I perfer dubs anyway. I have seen some good quality tvrips though. I don't know how most fansub groups capture the tv show. Satellite, cable?

  21. Re:I knew it. on New Technique for Tracking Web Site Visitors · · Score: 1

    What about newgrounds, homestar runner, and all of that? Flash isn't inherently evil.

  22. Re:Toonami on Cartoon Network's 1st Original 'Toonami' Series · · Score: 1

    I'd rather watch high quality dubs than poor quality fansubs. In my experience, fansubs are usually really crappy video quality, while dubs (on the net) are usually ripped from DVD and are much beter quality. The oggs are nice, they have english/japanese audio and subs. And I do like Cartoon Network, shows like Megas XLR, Justice League, and Teen Titans are awesome Cartoon network only shows.

  23. Re:The fairness doctrine on San Francisco Attempts to Regulate Blogging · · Score: 1

    Where do you get the idea that "the right" owns all of the FM dial and most of the AM? How can you tell they are on "the right"? Someone observed that liberals think the media is too conservative and conservatives think the media is too liberal. I see that all the time. So, it seems the media is probably fairer than most people think.

  24. The Screen Savers on BeOS Ready for a Comeback as Zeta OS · · Score: 1

    I remember when The Screen Savers on ZDTV always promoted BeOS. That, and Linux. I doubt they'll promote Zeta.

  25. Re:Even more uses... on Your Face On the Big Screen · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'll just wait for cognitive impression. Having an AI version of you would be kind of cool, if there was a bunch of security measures. If I was an AI, I'd probably want to do evil stuff. By the way, am I using the term "cognitive impression" correctly? I believe it was used in Halo as the process of making an AI based on someone's mind.
