  1. Re:No particular, but any? on Airport ID Checks Constitutional · · Score: 1

    This is wayyy typical of the Glendale CA police in general. They're also hot on jaywalkers on Brand during "happy hour".

  2. Um.. on The World's Fastest Image Processor · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You would think they would make her hold that board with some gloves on or something. She might get some fuzzy blue sweater mass (FBSM) stuck in the Pertinax.

  3. Re:Coming from a multi-iPod family on iPod Shuffle On The Way Out Already? · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's nice. I don't think the article mentions the fact that the shuffle becomes a personal floatation device in the event of a water related disaster.

  4. Re:Um on Imagining the Google Future · · Score: 1

    Holy cow, you are right. What's with the CNN sensationalism?

  5. I would be... on Scientists Discover World's Smallest Fish · · Score: 1

    Do you think the biologist who discovered the "second smallest" fish is pissed now?

  6. Re:And on the ocean...? on The Backhoe, The Internet's Natural Enemy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    NSA (not a joke). Here is an article from ZDnet about it. AND this is PRE-9/11. What do you think has happened since? http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-529826.html

  7. Re:REAL Scarcity would mean HUGE price increases on Earth's Copper Supply Inadequate For Development? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Agreed. In the electrical construction market, we have seen very minor price fluctuations since 2002 (less that 5% per year on average - also on par with inflation). The US government has re-opened copper mining facilities in the american west to boost supply. I am not convinced there is a scarcity at all. Scarcity would surely trigger major price fluctuations.

  8. I wonder on First-Party PS3 Titles Announced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    when those 4,000 devkits shipped out? If it was recently, we're obviously not going to see a springtime release.

  9. Re:Story was corrected on Maglev Elevators by 2008? · · Score: 1

    actually the text read: and will travel 300 984 feet per second -- not as fast as the company's conventional lifts that move 3,314 feet a second, Toshiba said. ...

  10. Story was corrected on Maglev Elevators by 2008? · · Score: 1

    Earlier today, the words "per minute" read "per second." I wonder how long it took to correct? 3,314 fps would be INSANE. They could save that kind of juice for the space elevator.

  11. *if* it turns out to be a flop?? on Microsoft Responds to Blu-Ray Comments · · Score: 1

    It's almost guaranteed to be a flop. I've seen mega-bucks poured into BD infrastructure at the top DVD manufacturing facilities and almost none into HD-DVD production. We are going to see extremely few HD-DVD titles released. Oh, and the BD titles and players are coming to consumer markets by late spring.

  12. Re:Another good game to re-release on The Business of Videogame Reprints · · Score: 1

    Speaking of ebay: What's wrong with using ebay for these games? Seems to me that unless you **have** to have (what may or may not be) a factory sealed original then ebay is the place...

  13. The whole thing is... on PS3 In U.S. In November? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    speculative. Who are the sources for these analysts? I'll wait to hear from Sony, thanks.

  14. Re:NOT blindfolded on New Rubik's Cube World Record Set · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think the audience yells out "hotter" and "colder."

  15. Re:NOT blindfolded on New Rubik's Cube World Record Set · · Score: 1

    100% correct. There are several competition categories, blindfolded is one of them.

  16. Re:Nobody will ever read this on New Technology vs. Old Gamer Classics · · Score: 1

    Speaking of this...i was playing Madden '06 on the PS2 last night with my son. Steelers vs. Colts. About 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter he hits "start" to challenge a play and the whole game glitched out. Repeating 1 second sound effect and frozen console. He said he wins. This is about the 4th time Madden '06 has frozen on me (a couple times on the PSP and a couple times on the PS2). What's up with that??

  17. Re:Wouldn't... on Make an RFID-proof wallet · · Score: 1

    dont think so...lacks the RF "shielding" of the metal.

  18. Phase 2 on "St Lawrence of Google" · · Score: 1

    Looks like the "sinister" phase 2 restructuring is about to begin...

  19. This is a must on Xbox 360 Blue-Ray Support, Achievement Addiction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    for the 360 if it is not to be relegated to the junk pile within 18 mos. I spoke with 2 major US dvd manufacturers in southern california yesterday who have both phased out the pre-press operations for the hd-dvd format and are concentrating almost solely on Blu-ray. However MS wants to support Blu-ray - they need to do it...soon, too.

  20. Re:Optimus on Slashback: Dry Mars, Wet Doc, Keyboard Teaser · · Score: 5, Informative

    Check this FAQ on artlebedev http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/answer s/ "...less than a good mobile phone"

  21. Re:Blu-Ray = one true flaw of the PS3 on CNN On The $500 PS3 · · Score: 1

    Remember, increased disc capacity can translate into more than just increased resolution...The goal of HD OR BR is to increase the amount of data on the disc itself. This will likely prove useful for games, with the resolution increase an added bonus when watching DVDs.
