  1. Re:RIM compensation on End of the Road for U.S. BlackBerry Users ? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the individual users who have Blackberrys and get left holding the bag. Granted, I'd imagine most BlackBerry users are corporate but I know some individuals who have them.. bought and paid for with their own money, not some corporation. Oh well, I guess they will make nice paperweights.

  2. Re:Roboform on Opera Turns 10, Gives Away Free Registrations · · Score: 1

    Correct, Roboform is commercial.

    Perhaps Ill take a look at KeyWallet.. I didnt realize there was any sort of password manager that worked with Opera.

    Youre right tho.. if they can make it work, it's puzzling that Roboform can't/won't.

    Thats true.. the Magic Wand is passable as a password manager but unfortunately it doesnt offer the flexibility of Roboform.

    Sadly I see threads pop up on the Opera forum all the time about people wanting Roboform integration and usually Opera users try to pass off Magic Wand as a Roboform substitute. I'm willing to give it a try again but it's sort of like comparing Firefox's built in password manager to Roboform.

  4. Roboform on Opera Turns 10, Gives Away Free Registrations · · Score: 1

    Sadly, its the lack of Roboform integration that has kept me from making the jump to Opera. For those of you not in the know, Roboform is perhaps the greatest password manager/form filler ever created. Great, GREAT software. I love Firefox but it just isnt stable for me the way I use it. I'm constantly dealing with crashes when opening multiple tabs. Maxthon, on the other hand, is rock solid when using tabs but it's IE based so...... The common thing between the two is I can use Roboform.. Damn you, Opera!

  6. Re:One fan sorry to see them go on Rio Brand Closes Doors · · Score: 1

    The problem isnt that the iPod is better.. its really not. I've been a long time tester for Rio and some of their products are freakin great.. The Rio developed Motorla M500 is the best small drive MP3 player Ive ever had my hands on... much better than the Carbon. The problem with Rio and everyone else trying to dig into Apple's market share is simple. They simply dont have the accessories. Case in point.. you couldnt even geta freakin case for the Karma. Car charger? Forget about it. Everyone keeps churning out MP3 player after MP3 player just hoping something catches fire and unseats Apple. It's not gonna happen without available accessories for the player. Who wants an MP3 player they cant buy squat for? The iPod is a household name now. It's going to take good aftermarket support and good marketing to put a dent in them. Just churning out good MP3 players isnt enough anymore.

  7. Re:Overpriced and questionable air flow. on High-End Aluminum PC Cases Make A Comeback · · Score: 1

    Im using the black version of this case. I really like it. Ive bounced around over the years to different manufacturers and I always seem to end up back with Lian Li. Why? Because they just do things better than everyone else. Things are localed in logical places and everything just fits.. not to mention there is plenty of room to work inside the case. You can work with a lot of different cases but you'll never work with a Lian Li and question the quality and workmanship. They really are that much better than everyone else. Coolermaster used to be right on par with them but IMO Coolermaster has gone a little more "budget" in the last few years.

    If they keep removing things from the OS, they'll be sending out blank CDs in a box... and thats only if the box cant be copied.

  9. Re:No international on Cringely Shows How to Get Free Cell Calls · · Score: 1

    I dont think youre going to see international anytime soon however Suncom already offers unlimited local and US and Canada long distance for $69.00 which includes all taxes and fees. When you get the bill, it's $69.00. Their coverage is "okay" and I heard rumors that T-Mobile was looking into buying them out.

  10. Re:Alice on Total Conversion HL2 Mod · · Score: 1

    I was a tester for Alice.. what a train wreck that whole process was. I've done a LOT of testing in my time and that was by far the crappiest experience ever. You had to write down all the bugs on a pad of paper.. Some bugs were really obscure and hard to reproduce but you had 0 interaction with the development team to say "Hey look, this is screwed up", instead, EA sent some of their goons out to preside over the test. Every other test Ive ever done, you had access to the dev team.. if something was hosed, you grab the person responsible and say "Come look at this" and it gets fixed. As to be expected, EA hosed this game up with their tactics. Needless to say when the game shipped, the majority of the bugs were still there.
