  1. Fudged Response times. on Today's Fastest Retail LCD · · Score: 4, Informative

    According to the product info on Newegg, the 3ms response time is grey to grey. It has a 6ms response time for white to black to white.

  3. Re:And how is this supposed to work? on Microsoft Looking For Xbox Moms · · Score: 1

    I thought the Saturn was reverse compatible, and it was the same generation as PS1. So how was it 'the first home console in a long time that was backwards compatible'?

    As has been mentioned earlier, it isn't that hard to find the dollar coin in your pocket instead of the quarter. The sizes and edges of the coins are designed so that a blind person can tell the difference between each coin.

  5. Re:UN control of something important?! on U.S. Insists On Keeping Control Of Internet · · Score: 1

    So a person is free to have an opinion and to express it as long as the UN approves of their opinion? Sorry if I'm not impressed.

    Work on your reading comprehension, nowhere in their post did the grandparent post admit to anything like that. They specifically said they agreed that there was no use in spanking a young child.

  7. Re:Best control goes to... on The History of the Game Controller · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I've never liked the ps1/ps2 controllers. both just seemed awkward and small in my hands. X-box controllers (which is pretty much a rip off of the dreamcast controller0) fit in my hands perfectly but button placement wasn't very well thought out. I'd have to say I'd rank controllers 1: N64 2: genesis 6 button 3: gamecube 4: dreamcast 5: xbox 6: genesis 3 button 7: nes 8: old atari controller 8: snes 9: PS 1 10: PS 1 and PS 2 dual shock 11: Atari Jaguire These are just my personal prefernce from using each of these. The N64 is the only one where I liked the implementation of the L/R/Z buttons (since most games just made the L and Z the same)

  8. Re:The D-pad sucks on The History of the Game Controller · · Score: 1

    Arcades don't have D-pads because you can't use one well without holding the controller in your hand. Consoles don't use joystick because that generally means you need to rest the controller on something, which limits where you can play comfortably. On a side note, I'm apparantly in the minority on this, but I prefer the d-pad for games like street fighter over the joystick.

  9. Re:Flash is unusable for a hard drive. on Samsung Develops 16Gb Flash Memory · · Score: 1

    I'd also recomend that you also mirror the ram drive with a regular sata hdd.

    And once the major export of the Mid-east is no longer needed, the region becomes even more unstable until their economy adjusts.

  11. Re:No lasting effect. on Microsoft Stalling TCG Best Practices Document? · · Score: 1

    You're thinking of the wrong type of standard. There are standards for how a browser should interpret HTML and CSS data, internet explorer doesn't follow these standards; websites have now been designed around how IE renders html instead of the standard so that anything following the standard can't render the page properly.

  12. Re:Who uses Office XP anymore? on OpenOffice 2.0 vs. MS Office Review · · Score: 1

    I believe you can do the insert right clicking and selecting the option "insert copied cells" and then it will ask if you want to shift the cells left or down.

  13. Re:40GB? on Toshiba 40GB Perpendicular Magnetic Record Drives · · Score: 1

    But SATA only has a single drive per channel, unless you have a sata controller that supports using a port multiplier and a port multiplier. (neither of which is common)

  14. Re:Where the fault lies... on Virtual Muggings in Lineage II · · Score: 1

    Most bot systems I know of don't modify the client. They are separate programs that control mouse position, mouse clicks, and keystrokes. (it is very easy to do using vbscripts run from the command prompt)

    It isn't a saving throw, it was an opposed skill check between one character's stealth and the other character's awareness.

  17. Re:Halo on Xbox360 Pricing, 2 Models at Launch · · Score: 1

    the Xbox has crashed plenty of times for me when playing KOTOR2. (granted there were between 50 and 60 creatures in the room decloaking as I was electrocuting all of them.)

    no, they were smart enough to come out with dual core opterons first. (which support multiprocessors, ECC memory, and up to 8 gb of ram per processor) They came out with the Athlon 64 X2 a few months later. Intel has only come out with the Pentium D, which has no multiprocessor support and no support for registered or ECC memory.

    Why is everyone praising that Warioware game? I played it at a DS display at Bestbuy and thought it was the most stupid game I had ever played.
