  1. ewww, buddylists on Is AllPeers FireFox's P2P "Killer App"? · · Score: 1

    how gross and so not me luckily i already use FF, but this extension is over hyped, what's the beef?

  2. First heard of HDTV in 1987 on Sorting Through the Analog to Digital TV Mess · · Score: 1

    We were supposed to switch back then. 1990, 1994, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002(got my HD set), 2003, 2004, 2005 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2015. I'd expect by 2015 we will see a final date of 2017. Only to be followed by more dates of implementation.

    Seemed to have missed every single one of those episodes.

    Causing more trouble than she's worth? Just was Doctor Who series are you watching over the past 40 years?

  7. Got it on Was the New Dr. Who Leaked on Purpose? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Decent Episode, could bode well. Will get the other episodes as they are aired. This Doc could be good. SciFi turned down the series, it would interfere with the repeats of ManSquito.

  8. TiVO is more dead than I thought on TiVo to Aim for PC Desktop · · Score: 1

    I'll just continue to the DirectTV offerings that are currently $4.95/mo over the $12.95/mo TiVo cost.

    It's just that simple.

  9. Psychic Processor Unit on World's First Physics Processing Unit · · Score: 1

    The Pyschic Processor Unit, PPU for short, is able to know what type of multi-tasking you will be doing before you do it. This was the first great invention of mankind that eventually led to mankinds extinction.

  10. There are plenty of devices on the Market on Sony takes on iPod Shuffle · · Score: 0

    Just walk into Best Buy and find about a dozenddevices that do plenty.

    Voice Record, FM/AM Tuner etc etc, play it in your car through the FM dial, for around $120 of less for 512mb.

    Plenty too choose from. Make the IPOD mini look like a joke in comparison.

  11. Since no stations in the USA are picking this up on New Dr. Who Episode Leaked · · Score: 1

    Feel free to download it to your PC till someone chooses this series over a show like Mansquito.

  12. I'll just stick with PHP on Microsoft Developers Respond To .NET Criticism · · Score: 1

    Seems I can master most I what I need to do without relying on .NET, which even at one time Gates said he was pushing too fast.

  13. Thus Why I don't Use a Cell Phone on The Story Behind Cell Phone Radiation Research · · Score: 1

    To those annoying people that do, here's to your brain in a frying pan!

    Now, if only I can get my hands on the 50 foot radius cell phone blocker....

  14. What the Frak is this Moron Going on About?? on TiVo vs Microsoft vs HDTV Cable · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the article:
    "Multiple tuners. Again, TiVo gives you one tuner per box, unless you're willing to pony up for the pricey DirecTiVo solution."

    My DirectTVTivo Box has 2 Tuners, paid $99 for it, for 70 hours of Programming, no extra costs at all. Just needed to run a co-axial like from the Dish.

    Moronic indeed.

  15. TiVO is Doomed no matter what that article says on TiVo vs Microsoft vs HDTV Cable · · Score: 1

    TiVo will have it's niche, but it's just about to lose every DirectTV customer. All those 'great' TiVo features are now found on the DirectTV DVR, of which you can choose Tivo or DirectTV as your Guide Provider, the difference being TiVo can cost $12.95/month, DirectTV $4.95/month. Tivo currently has it's TiVO to Go Package, but DirectTV will be out with a whole new line up, WIRELESS at that, by the end of 2005. So transfers to your PC will be just as easy. I don't see the market growing much for TiVO anymore, they came, they started, but the COmpetition is catching up and at cheaper prices with just as many features. The article itself was kind of dated in that aspect. 3 out of 5 in useful information.

  16. BattleStar Gallactica on Pay-Per-View Downloads of TV Shows? · · Score: 1

    SciFi is showing the first episode of Galactica online as we speak. FOR FREE MOTHER FRAKKERS!!!!

  17. YAWWWN on Star Wars Sith Trailer and the O.C. · · Score: 1

    But that's STAR WARS for ya.

    Star Trek will return once again, without the need for donations.

  19. why the fuck was this posted?? on Ask mc chris · · Score: 1

    I'd sure like to know.

  20. HA HA!! on Apple to Buy TiVo? · · Score: 1

    TiVO has already met it's saturation limit. TiVO is too expensive with the monthly charges. And TiVO is being copied and surpassed by local cable companies and DirectTVs offerings in the DVR areana. Thus of couse them and Apple would make a good fit.

  21. sure to choke on Star Wars Episode 3 Play-By-Play In Pictures · · Score: 1

    I mean come on. All Lost Hope Pt III

  22. For the Average User, Worthless on SysInternals Releases RootkitRevealer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    For the hacker, priceless. This really accomplishes so little. Sure, here are your 'descreprancies', but they might not be that at all. Mostly Pointless. A good step, but only something the hackers will get control of well before this becomes mainstream.

  23. Good News on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    I have only started watching BG, was turned off at first by some of the ideas that were first mentiones, Starbuck being a chick, etc. That was pertty stupid of me to say the least. This show is really damn good. I don't have a clue what's going on really, but I am sucked into it. I don't know why that Doctor guy is seeing a Blonde Cylon, I don't know what's up with the Cylon occupied planet with the Asian chick, who is also on Galctica. So I can't wait for the Season to start over so I can figure out what the hell is going on. This is a very good show, and I find the acting to be very well done. The CG effects are kept to a minimum, but when done, are done well. Though the Zoom thing is kind of cliche, I still like it a lot. Great show. If you are not watching this show, try it out. Hopefully the writers will really go balls to the wall in the creativity department. Don't get cliche.
