  1. wiimotes are expensive on EB/Gamestop Offering $700 Wii Bundle · · Score: 1

    $85 for the wiimote AND nun chuck, thats a serious chunk there if they throw in 3 extras so you have a full four...

  2. Re:Completely off topic... on Cooking With the XBox 360 · · Score: 1

    adblock/noscript ftw...

  3. Re:firefox 2 on Another Denial of Service Bug Found in Firefox 2 · · Score: 1
    noscript ftw! https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/

    should be part of FF...

  4. Re:As an Eagle Scout on Boy Scouts Introduce Merit Badge For Not Pirating · · Score: 1

    Ugh...no kidding. Emergency preparedness and environmental science were a pain! (meaning you actually had to do real work...:-p). Swimming was not a cakewalk either.

  5. Re:Well... on Battlefield 2142 to Bundle Spyware? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Obviously it won't be without the user's consent...

    I guarantee you there will a line somewhere stuck in the EULA that covers it perfectly.

  6. Re:Dialup on Windows XP SP1 Support Ends Tuesday · · Score: 5, Funny

    I set my grandparent's computer to autoupdate...they got SP2 after about 4 months of less than an hour a day average online time iirc.

  7. Re:One reason is disk space on Windows XP SP1 Support Ends Tuesday · · Score: 1

    You can slipstream SP2 without burning it to a dvd drive...I've done it many a time.

  8. Re:One reason is disk space on Windows XP SP1 Support Ends Tuesday · · Score: 1
    You could make your own...its called slip streaming

  9. Re:And once again... (you can say that again!) on Windows XP SP1 Support Ends Tuesday · · Score: 2, Insightful
    yeah...and how much did you pay for linux? :-p

    Of course...gov't agencies and other large entities will get whatever support they pay for...which means they can get SP1 support if SP2 screws up their software.

  10. And once again... on Windows XP SP1 Support Ends Tuesday · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just cut it off while you're only slightly behind...gotta love MS

  11. Re:14 pounds! on XBox 360 Laptop Mod Created · · Score: 1

    I used to love going to my grandma's when I was younger, as long as we took our sx-64 (this was 1991) and I can totally see doing something like this for kids...but I think it would need to be purchasable assembled. *shrug*

  12. Re:Wow. on Intel Open Sources Graphics Drivers · · Score: 1

    Please define #1...
    I know what you mean...but somehow saying intel is #1 implies that they are superior in quality. The newest ones are acceptable quality, but they really don't have the staying power of nvidia's or ati's integrated. I think the laptops with x1600s will be running smooth in a year or two, while the intel ones will be chugging.

  13. Re:Quit bitching on Combating Harassing Use of Mosquito Noise Device? · · Score: 1

    Uh...that's not gonna work...all the different places his noise maker is bouncing off...you'll likely just add a 'warble' to it if you do that.

  14. Re:I have the solution! on Millions of King Crabs Turn Sea to Desert · · Score: 1
  15. Re:I am for the freedom to play any game you want. on Judge Blocks Louisiana Violent Games Law · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think he may be referring to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appellate_jurisdictio n

  16. Clamshell cases! on Replacement for Jewel Cases? · · Score: 1

    http://www.meritline.com/neracoclcddv.html these are perfect, as a test I chucked one of these with a cd in it against a brick wall from 6 feet at full force...the case it self was scratched, but not broken, and the cd was fine. worked for me but I wouldn't suggest it on a regular basis as ymmv.

  17. Re:Well... on How to Protect Yourself with Startups? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    lol...dumbass Too bad your parents didn't.

  18. Re:Some things that will help on How Nintendo Could Win It All · · Score: 1

    IIRC the discs don't spin backwards, the laser reads from the outside in and THATS why people can't pirate the discs.

  19. Re:I thought it was invented by on Wal-Mart Trying to Trademark the Smiley Face · · Score: 2

    That was mentioned in TFA. I think its a bunch of silliness and YAEOWCTLG (yet another example of walmart crushing the little guy)

  20. Heh...maybe on WoW the Next "Golf"? · · Score: 0

    And the awful orcish garb! Just like golf!! Well...at least after a round of golf you can go get a beer at the clubhouse... I just don't think I could sell my boss..."meet me at (good WoW meeting place here), we'll discuss the latest figures"

  21. Re:Finally someone said it on LEGO Tech Still Going Strong · · Score: 1

    despite what the corporations tell us, I'm still sticking to the common culture reference, its easier not to have to explain it to people all the time... (pick your battles wisely)

  22. Amazing on LEGO Tech Still Going Strong · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is really great to see a working Babbage computer out of legos, its not as accurate as Babbage's design...but amazing none the less. Too bad Babbage didn't have legos when he was trying to get funding to build his computer! The lego PC mock ups are nice, but nothing compares to a real working mechanical lego computer :-P

  23. What about their site... on Startup Prepares Cracker Attack Emulator · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If we all go visit their site at once will they see it as a DDOS? :-p This is a cool idea, doesn't seem terribly novel to me though.

  24. Re:Uh...not so godzilla... on Building the Godzilla of PVRs · · Score: 1

    wow...read...the problem I'm stating is that its dual core AND HTT. you pay several hundered more to get the htt on dual core...and the problem is some software doesn't know the difference between the physical cores and the logical cores...so a dual core without htt would've been a good choice...and the fx-60 is a dual core fx-57.

  25. Uh...not so godzilla... on Building the Godzilla of PVRs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Pentium EE...dual core with htt...bad combination...very silly choice. FX-60 would be more impressive.
