  1. "feature"? on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 0

    Nobody ever claimed it as a "feature", in fact some big upgrades are being worked on for version 1.1. Adding a bittorrent client just for updates would be unnecessary bloat.

  2. Re:Elder Viewers on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 0

    They are also the most likely to die soon, so maybe we should just wait it out.

  3. Followup? on Neal Stephenson on Star Wars in the NYT · · Score: 0

    Are they now one with the force? Will they be coming back as blue ghosts?

  4. Listen to Obi-Wan!!! on Neal Stephenson on Star Wars in the NYT · · Score: 0

    Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and BECAME Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. The story shifted to being about Anakin Skywalker, who only truly existed in episodes 1-3 and 6.

  5. Just what I needed on Google Releases Earth to Beta · · Score: 0

    a 3D model of Soldier Field under construction. neato

  6. PS3 = 1% of Human Brain on Cell-based Server Blade Demonstrated · · Score: 1, Funny

    According to Sony that is, and they would never lie about their specs.

  7. Re:It Doesn't Matter on Nintendo Revolution Under Wraps Past E3 · · Score: 0

    Wow, I didn't realize I had my GBA 2 years before it was released, I must be special. The GBA was released before GameCube, March of 2001 in the US. The SP came out in the beginning of 2003, but it was not a new system, just a redesign. If you complain about that then you need to complain about Sony releasing the smaller PS2 and PS3 so close to eachother. Revolution is coming in 2006, 5 years after GameCube. Standard console life cycle, it's Microsoft that's breaking that and releasing their next system after 4 years.

  8. He's like a father to her on Revenge of the Sith Officially Rated PG-13 · · Score: 0

    so that's a pretty sick idea.

  9. You got a thing for nude pregnant women? on Revenge of the Sith Officially Rated PG-13 · · Score: 0

    Well, do ya?

  10. Yahoo! Guesthouse Login? on Yahoo Fights Back in Battle With Google · · Score: 0

    Anyone else getting this when trying to sign up for the Yahoo! 360 beta waiting list? Tried just using my Yahoo! login but it didn't work, and told me to contact my Yahoo! employee contact(wtf?).

  11. Re:Yankee Fans Overshadowed? on Yahoo Fights Back in Battle With Google · · Score: 0

    Yahoo is an established monolith to be hated? When did that happen? Now if you compared Microsoft to the Yankees, that would be more appropriate.

  12. Re:Er... on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 0

    No, they've just been on a huge wireless kick lately. WaveBird, GBA wireless link, DS Wi-Fi, and now Revolution Wi-Fi. They'll surely release an LCD screen and battery for it next, then you'll be able to take it to the local Starbucks or Panera and play Super Smash Brothers Wi-Fi Melee. :)

  13. Re:Its out? on New Vulnerabilities Discovered in Firefox 1.0 · · Score: 0

    Read what you posted, you pressed the check for updates button in the EXTENSION MANAGER. That button just checks extensions, which I would've thought was pretty obvious. In the options window you can check for Firefox updates, although it is set by default to check automatically on startup.

  14. Re:AHH My eyes!! on Stereoscopic images of Titan's surface constructed · · Score: 0

    You shouldn't be viewing anything when your refresh rate is 60Hz. Time for a new monitor.

  15. Natalie Portman Day? on Linux in a World Where Windows 3.0 Never Happened · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I don't get it.

  16. Re:Cute but... on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Detector Ring Project · · Score: 1

    Future production units would feature surface-mounted components to decrease the detector profile and microcontrollers that discriminate between other RF sources, as well as indicate whether the Wi-Fi nodes are open/closed/encrypted, etc.

    See, if you would just read the article you would've known this.

  17. Very few people?! on Sony Announces PSP Launch Date · · Score: 1

    Tell that to the 65 million owners of a GBA.
