  1. Re:How could they screw up 'Fifth Element'? on Best (and Worst) High-Def Discs of 2006 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What CRT are you projecting onto a 119" screen? Maybe they look the same because the picture is so incredibly dim. On a Sony Qualia 004 (which only takes a 1080i input) the difference between Blu-Ray and DVD was very noticable to the people in the room. Standard DVDs look great, but nobody was saying that they looked close.

  2. Re:Christmas on Seventh Harry Potter Book Named · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I totally agree Fred! I can't believe how easily amused all those millions of people that love this series are. Why is it that everyone is so inferior to us? Back to reading stuff that nobody else likes because that means its got to be good!

  3. Re:I Don't Understand on Guitar Hero Is Big Hit With Bands · · Score: 1

    Most guitarists would make the same comment about bassists.

  4. Re:Want to know what it is like for real Chinese? on China - We Don't Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    According to Wikipedia there were something like 3000 deaths during the protest. Nobody was actually killed in the square itself.

  5. Re:Farts are healthy? on Natural Gas to Offer Breakthrough in Suspended Animation? · · Score: 1

    That doesn't seem very scientific. Instead of a kid sister you're better off having octuplets and then using half of them as a control group.

  6. Re:hmmm...what about linux? on NVIDIA Do-It-Yourself Quad SLI Launched · · Score: 1

    Kind of overkill to play Quake4.

  7. Re:1 Corinthians 13:11 on Gen Con Bingo · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yeah, mature people should be busy listening to crappy Christian (redundant I know) rap.

  8. Re:Flash as an Application Development Platform? N on The Future of Flash · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's weird because we've been developing an application that uses Flash as a front-end and MySQL/PHP as the server-side and haven't had any issues with "connection points". Are you sure you know what you're talking about?

  9. Re:Backwords compatibility on PS3's Smart Back-Compat, PS4 Doesn't Play Discs · · Score: 1

    You're half right. PS3 is compatible with games and memory cards and 360 isn't compatible with either (with a few exceptions).

  10. Re:Fun game on Molyneux Talks Fable 2 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Then you've already beaten it.

  11. Re:For those who are confused... on Australia Wants to Regulate Internet Streaming · · Score: 1

    This may surprise you, but a lot of girls (and about 10% of guys) don't mind a penis in their face.

  12. Re:"Convenience" fees! Heh. on Top off Your Parking Meter with a Cell Call · · Score: 1

    I suppose it's just subjective then. It's more convenient for me to get refills without waiting in line. Plus, I can easily alter my ice level. Not to mention I frequently mix 25/75 with regular and diet.

  13. Re:How will Sony use this to sell the PS3? on PlayStation 2 Outselling Xbox 360 in U.S. · · Score: 1

    What HD projector do you have? I find any current movie looks much better in HD than on DVD.

  14. Re:A training manual... on Lawyers Ordered to Play RPS to Settle Dispute · · Score: 1

    That's required reading for the Bar Exam in Florida.

  15. Re:Sounds interesting on The Xbox 360 Uncloaked · · Score: 1

    I don't think you can really compare your PC running a bunch of 15 year old bootlegs to a 360. A lot of those games were fun in the same way slot machines are fun. It's all about the return on the quarter and not so much thrilling gaming (nostalgia aside).

  16. Re:Hypocrisy on Miyamoto Says Sony Controller is 'Flattering' · · Score: 1

    Or like millions of other people we can take advantage of the $2500 set we bought 3 years ago. Personally I want to play pretty much every game in that list. Would it make you feel better if the names were changed to: Devil May Cry 64 Super Resident Evil Final Fantasy Wii Companies make sequels to good games because they're good. Nothing too complicated here.

  17. Re:Food on Google Opens Sydney Office, Internship Program · · Score: 1

    We get to go out for lunch too. Free drinks is just a plus for the time that you're in the office.

  18. Re:They already lost at least $120 in sales on D-Link Settles Danish Time Dispute · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've told my friends (and my company) to avoid buying their stuff because it's junk (IME) We used to spec D-Link because one of our distributors already carried it and I'm fairly certain I've since swapped most all of it to Linksys or Netgear which are both more or less equal to me.

  19. Re:You lucky bum on CmdrTaco becomes An Old(er) Man · · Score: 1

    I have a degenerative muscular disease you insensitive clod!

    (SBMA)

  20. Re:Sounds more like a movie... on Shadowrun Game to Rewrite the SR Universe · · Score: 1

    It sort of sounds like what the movie industry does to the video gaming industry. Except in this case there's too much plot instead of the otherway around.

  21. Re:space goggles? on Would You Wear Video Glasses? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's one thing to be a dork, but to be a space dork...

  22. Re:More than that... on Generic Dungeons, Universal Dragons · · Score: 1

    It should...it's basically an object oriented game. You create a power and then add advantages/limitations to tweak it for its effect in-game. There are 100s of ways to build a power that all can get you to the same result kind of like programming.

  23. Re:What about.. on Console Brand Loyalty and Lifestyle Choices · · Score: 1

    Ah, I see the problem. You needed to run the video out from your PS2 to the TV. Otherwise, yes, you'd probably just see a blinking box. But more seriously lots of people (that I know at least) find time to spend quality time with their kids and still have hobbies.

  24. Re:mass media impact on Video Tape Recorder Unveiled 50 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    Yeah, there's nothing like getting the family gathered around the computer desk to watch a 19" LCD (I'm being generous)

  25. Re:You know whats wrong on No One Watches Online Videogame TV · · Score: 1

    Nobody would see it on ABC during American Idol since they'd be watching FOX. However, with your particular handle I could see where the obsession with Disney's ABC would come from.
