  1. The ideal HDTV on Enter The 2160p HDTV · · Score: 1

    What is great about 2160p is that it allows for perfect upscaling of 720p and 1080p content.

  2. Re:Yay!!! on NASA Will Go Metric On the Moon · · Score: 1

    He's not talking about the consistency of the system, he's talking about the consistency of the usage of the system. Better to pick one and stick with it.

  3. Subject is backwards on Some 'Next-Gen' DVDs May Not Work With Vista · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wrong: Some 'Next-Gen' DVDs May Not Work With Vista Right: Some PCs May Not Play 'Next-Gen' DVDs The problem is on the hardware side, you need an HDCP capable video card and monitor, and this has been known for a long time.

  4. I hate Illinois Nazis. on Lucas, Ford to Start Filming New Indiana Jones Film · · Score: 1

    nm

  5. cause and effect? on Wiimote Straps Result in Class Action Suit · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "the wrist strap broke and caused the remote to leave the user's hand"

    No, the remote left the user's hand and caused the wrist strap to break.

    Under normal usage, this should never be a problem. The strap itself is not defective, the users are.

  6. 2007? on 10 Tech Concepts You Should Know for 2007 · · Score: 0

    "Samsung ... expects PRAM-enabled devices to be available in 2008" So why do we need to know about it for 2007?

  7. Not nearly as efficient on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 0

    as using bratwurst and beer, and I speak from experience.

  8. Re:Thank gods on "Revenge of the Nerds" Remake Cancelled · · Score: 0

    Is that why I didn't get my pony and plastic rocket?

  9. Re:Dolphins singing? on Singing Dolphins Do Batman · · Score: 0

    beep-beeeeeeep? Where are the dolphins?

  10. Re:"I've read several books " on Practical Ajax Projects with Java Technology · · Score: 0

    I certainly don't, I never even read a book before trying anything out. I've always found it much easier to learn by doing. If I don't know something or have a problem, I google it and find an online reference. A lot of people go the book route though, most of the people where I work for example. No surprise that they often come to me for help.

  11. Re:Hola on U.S. Population Hits 300 Million · · Score: 0

    There's always room for jello.

  12. Re:Obligatory summary - Exactly on Black Hole Observed by X-Ray Satellite · · Score: 0

    Of course you can't see a black hole, but you can observe the effects of it.

  13. Default Applications on IE7 To Ship With Windows Patches Tomorrow [Not] · · Score: 0

    The "Internet" and "E-Mail" shortcuts just point to the default application, so these people that would just click on "Internet" will use Firefox or Opera or whatever you set their default to.

  14. Re:extensions and themes on Firefox 2.0 RC2 Review · · Score: 1, Informative

    From TFA: "The extremely useful Nightly Tester Tools extension has an excellent little feature that enables users to circumvent the version checks typically performed during extension installation." It's a great extension that any nightly user could never live without. I've already got a few other people to user it that were hesitant about upgrading to 2.0.

  15. Re:Please... on Teleportation Gets a Boost · · Score: 0

    Is your consciousness part of that physical pattern though? If I teleported myself, would my consciousness teleport with my pattern? Or would I cease to be and a new consciousness with all my memories take over the assembled body at the other end? Then of course there is the religious question of your soul, but I'm not touching that.

  16. Re:Praise the gods. on George Lucas To Quit Movie Business · · Score: 0

    Already did that, turned out it was an upside-down cow fetus. "Oh my god, it's grotesque! Oh, and there's something in a jar."

  17. Re:Praise the gods. on George Lucas To Quit Movie Business · · Score: 0

    He'd probably thrust ILM into the project instead of Zoic, which would be a horrible move.

  18. Re:they make a sound.... on Robotic Whiskers Sense Shape and Texture · · Score: 0

    Well isn't that great, we're creating robots with the desire to wake ancient evil creatures. This really ruined my day.

  19. Re:Please... on Teleportation Gets a Boost · · Score: 0

    It will likely retain all memories and everything, the person that is assembled on the other side would believe that it really teleported, but is it truly the same consciousness? The problem is, there is no way to ever know for sure.

  20. What the hell.. on KDE on the NBC Show "Heroes" · · Score: 0

    are you looking at the computer for?

  21. Super Metroid on The Top 5 Games of All Time · · Score: 0

    No top 5 list should be without Super Metroid.

  22. Surprised? on Vista Runs Hot on Macbook Pro · · Score: 0

    XP runs hotter than OSX because OSX underclocks the GPU, so why is it a surprise that Vista also runs hotter?

  23. Any source? on Wireless HDMI Prototype Announced · · Score: 0

    Not from my Xbox 360.

  24. Same thing happened to me! on My Maxtor Hard Drive Just Caught Fire! · · Score: 0

    Seriously, this happened to me about 1 1/2 years ago. Turned on my PC, heard a pop, saw an orange glow inside my case and I freaked out. Looking at his pics, it looks exactly like what happened to mine.

  25. So we have to make a choice on No Full HD Playback for 32-bit Vista · · Score: 0

    Crippled operating system or crippled video playback. Either way, everyone loses.
