  1. Re:V-Chip rating signal present during commercials on How MythTV Detects and Flags Commercials · · Score: 2, Informative

    Last time I investigated the situation, commercials dont put out a v-chip signal, so they would be able to be blocked like that.

  2. PatchGuard on AnalogWhole, an Alternative To FairUse4WM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If it just pipes sound output from the mixer to MP3, what are the chances that Vista could block off access to mixer output except for low-level (driver) access, which is then blocked by PatchGuard?

  3. So... on AnalogWhole, an Alternative To FairUse4WM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So, it's just like using Audacity to record whatever goes through the sound card?

  4. If it worked for the iPod... on Slashback: SCO, COPA, AllofMP3, Navier-Stokes, and More · · Score: 1, Redundant

    [Insert Wii announcement here]
    No ethernet. Less space than a nomad. Lame. /me crosses fingers

  6. Freezing on Quebec Bans Electronic Voting · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Maybe the freezing temperatures affected their brains to where they can think clearly.

    Hey, I can dream, can't I?

  8. Re:Well, Crap. on Lik-Sang Is Out Of Business · · Score: 1

    Actually, I've seen a device also from Datel at my local Circuit City (Fry's not in my area), that eschews the HDD for a compactflash slot. It runs about USD 40, I think.

  9. Lik-Sang on Lik-Sang Is Out Of Business · · Score: 1

    Sony has attacked lik-sang for massive damage.
    ('nuff said)

  10. Trident vs Gecko vs KHTML on Quiz Microsoft's IE Team Leader · · Score: 1

    1) Since Gecko and KHTML are open source, have you looked at the source for those engines?
    2) Have you ever lifted or considered lifting code from either Gecko or KHTML for Trident?
    3) Would you ever port Trident to other platforms (Linux and OSX) to allow for web developers to test without needing Windows?

  11. Hate to tell you... on Iran Caps Net Access to Keep West Out · · Score: 1

    As much as I would like to see two fascist regimes go at each other's throats, I'm afraid that Iran is mildly outside of the Record Industry Association of AMERICA.

    Then again, when has that stopped them before?

  12. Re:No thanks on Sony Blu-ray Media Center · · Score: 1

    Yes, DVDs are proprietary. However, unlike Blu-ray, it is a fully established standard, has no single corporation's intrests behind it, and is easily broken down into a more usable format, without being a constantly moving target

    Note: DMCA does not apply to Fair Use

  13. Why? on DVDs w/ Built in USB Ports for Copy Protection · · Score: 4, Funny

    Someone please tell me why they don't just put the damn movie on some sort of USB storage to begin with, and avoid borking up our perfectly good normal DVD drives?

  14. No thanks on Sony Blu-ray Media Center · · Score: 1

    Blu-ray (Sony propietary, DRMd), HDMI (DRMd), Windows (DRM)?

    <br>
    No thanks. I'll stick with my Mythbox, thank you very much

  15. PicasaWeb? on Google "Office" Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has anyone else noticed up in the corner of Docs that there is also a new "Photos" option that points to "Picasa Web Albums?"

  16. Re:What about... on Lego Mindstorms + Lasers · · Score: 1

    But I want ill-tempered sea bass made out of Duplos, you insensitive clod!

  17. Desktop only on Wii Opera Browser is Free Until Next Year · · Score: 1

    For what I know, only the Desktop (Lin/Mac/BSD/Sol/QNX/Win) version of Opera is free. Opera Mobile (for phones) costs 20 dollars, and I'm unsure of the price of Opera DS (imports are $50)

  18. Re:random number with a letter at the end on Xbox 360 adds 1080p Support · · Score: 5, Informative

    1080 lines of resolution, progressive scan (shows every line in every frame). You can thank me later.

  19. Wiimote on The Future of Human-Computer Interaction · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The mouse in its current form is about to be rendered obsolete. With XGL, Quartz3D, AeroGlass, and Looking Glass, we are most assuredly moving twoards fully-3d computer enviroments. As the mouse only moves in two dimensions, it will be time for some change. The Wiimote is perfect for a 3d enviroment. It also has very little learning curve (as much as the adjustment to 3d will have, anyway).

  20. Re:Ads on Universal to Offer Music for Free · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Already exists. Flip the scaling of ads to music around, and you have what is commonly known as "FM Radio"

  21. Better news on Catan on Live, PopCap on Steam · · Score: 1

    Better news: there is a Linux version. It's called Pioneers http://pio.sourceforge.net/, and it's a near-exact copy of the board game

  22. Mod -2 on 'Stargate: SG-1' Cancelled · · Score: 1

    I hereby bestow a mod -2 upon thee, for Blasphmey and Just Plain Wrong

  23. A Message on PR Firm Behind Al Gore YouTube Spoof? · · Score: 1

    From: myself To: The Republicans Subject: The Internet Congradulations. You finally learned how to use the Internet. Now go to your keyboards and type up laws to protect that usage for everyone. PS: Remember, this is a Slotocracy. All it takes is 3 mules in November and you're out of power.

  24. my list on Sysadmin Toolbox Top Ten · · Score: 1

    Hell, I'm 17 (primary platform since August) and I can give a better toolbox then that dmesg | tail + lsof: works wonders for diagnosing hardware problems. i use it w/ my DSL disc to figure out win-users problems nano (ducks for cover): decent text editor, i know i should be using vim. I personally think vim sucks for creating files, which i do a good bit of (taking notes) ssh: maintaining (or nethack'ing) my machine from a long ways away kill/killall: for when the need arises fish: top-notch shell, tab completion for nearly everything screen: for when i need more than one of above grml live cd: knoppix, but loses kde+friends for loads of console tools fetchmail + mutt: get my kill-lists^W tech support requests and lastly... DROD: when I need a break

  25. Re:Flogging consistency? on Linux, to be (Like Microsoft) or Not to be? · · Score: 1

    Absolutley right. They've been flogging the Dolphin since 11 November 2001 (GameCube release date)
