  1. Re:Bin it and call it lesson learned. on Low-Level Format For a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 1

    If you look at reviews for the previous generation of the same brand of sdhc card you'll see it received newegg's customer choice award. Adata made one of the best class 6 16gb sdhc cards, so it was only natural to think their new generation had a good chance of being good as well.

  2. Re:It's a hardware problem on Low-Level Format For a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 1

    I had a flash drive that came with some goofy partition table that caused linux machines to freeze until the drive was removed. I repartitioned it and the problem was gone.

  4. Re:kdawsonfud on RIAA Sues 19-Year-Old Transplant Patient · · Score: 4, Insightful

    God thank you. I was starting to get pissed at all these people jumping to conclusions. Next time I'm making near minimum wage and my kid is hospitalized for something like this I'll tell him to go rob a bank since apparently you can get away without going to court if you're sick...

    I didn't know the ground was tethered down to start with.

  6. Watchable in VLC on Posting Publicly Available URL Claimed a "Hack" · · Score: 1

    If anyone is interested you can watch these in VLC. Just open a network stream, select RTSP and paste in one of the URLS. Low quality, but interesting to think you could watch that on a phone.

  7. Re:Brakes. Not breaks. on Experiment Shows Traffic 'Shock Waves' Cause Jams · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If someone breaks their car I'm sure it could cause traffic to stop moving...:-P

  9. Re:What's next? on Judge Orders TorrentSpy to Turn Over RAM · · Score: 1

    "Under a stricter definition, a cable modem is not a modem but a network bridge" So...how strict are we then?

  10. Re:What's next? on Judge Orders TorrentSpy to Turn Over RAM · · Score: 3, Informative
    Actually, if you believe wikipedia (I do in this case), modem IS the correct term http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modem

    "Broadband modems should still be classed as modems, since they use complex waveforms to carry digital data. They are more advanced devices than traditional dial-up modems as they are capable of modulating/demodulating hundreds of channels simultaneously."

  11. Re:If any of them pay this fee... on Stanford To Charge Reconnect Fee For DMCA Notices · · Score: 1

    Well...I guess I've been to 3 universities that have systems like this. Its all MAC based, so if you know the mac of someone who's on the network, and their computer is off...

  12. Re:If any of them pay this fee... on Stanford To Charge Reconnect Fee For DMCA Notices · · Score: 1

    Well...if its a true AP, then connecting to it would be no different than plugging into a wall socket, and most colleges have some sort of authentication you must pass to use the network... Wide open routers are another story...which I have seen a few of on my campus.

  13. Re:Mac Notebooks Battery Life rules on Vista Eating Battery Life · · Score: 1

    I totally agree, battery life is short...I get 2.5 hours in vista, tops.

  14. Re:On linux... on How Long Does it Take You to Tweak a New Box? · · Score: 1

    I never really stop tweaking my windows box really. Always something new to try out ya know? But I guess installing all my basic software(not games) and setting stuff take usually about 2 hours once installation is done.

  15. Re:PC quality... For now on PS3 Oblivion Approaching PC Quality Visuals · · Score: 1

    Well sure I paid more up front, and I got more in return... I have 2gigs of ram...I won't need more for quite some time My motherboard will be able to use the latest and greatest cpus from AMD, for quite some time...AM3 cpus will work in the AM2 socket. My hard drives have 3 and 5 year warranties, I doubt I'll need a better one. I got vista through my MSDNAA free...and I'm pretty sure there won't be anything new from MS in 3 years...

    Exactly...In 2 or 3 years when my video card is really dated, I'll just buy a new one for $250. No such luck with a console...

    Well EULA's are one thing, but LG isn't an end user are they now? I just got the feeling LG is within their right to do what they please with their license from reading about it, but...*shrug*

  20. Re:Mods do not RTFS on End of the Blu-Ray / HD-DVD Format War? · · Score: 1

    LG is one of the blu-ray 'partners'. I don't know what this means exactly, but it would stand to reason they have their own license to use as they please.
