  1. Wait 'till the new software is released in July.. on Time Warner Cable Runs Out of HD DVRs · · Score: 0

    They won't be able to give them away. I live in Nebraska and we're "beta testing" the new software.. Alpha is more like it. It sucks in so many ways. Google "time warner DVR software sucks" for a list of the bugs. It's just amazing that they would ask us to give up something that worked very well for this absolute crap. I dumped them 2 days ago and got Dish Network installed.. and I've never been happier. Call me a jerk, but I thanked them when I turned my box in: "without your 'wonderful' software upgrade, I would have never discovered just how wonderful Dish Network is.."

  2. They are required surgery? on Chinese Students' Cheating Techniques - Don't Try at Home · · Score: 0

    Good thing they aren't required to learn english.

  3. Treo 650 + FairUse Wizard = portable love on Everyone Hates UMD · · Score: 0

    Take a 650, d/l the 4gb hack and make a new ROM for the unit. Flash it. Peachy, now your 80.00 4gb SD card works like a champ. Add FairUse Wizard and a dvd, and 1.5 hours later you're watching whatever using TCMP on your treo in 320x320 with 128kb stereo, all at about 200mb. sweet.

  4. Writer is a complete moron on Evolution of Video Game Controllers · · Score: 0

    If you can't see how much of an idiot he is, you are one as well. He / She / it obviously has no idea what analog is, and pulls stuff from deep inside his / her / its anus. Complete idiot.

  5. Re:Ain't gonna happen on Independents Push For Second Firefly Season · · Score: 0

    Uh.. you need to check your facts on this. The mag that misquoted Joss on this was soon corrected. He replied on wedonesque.com to the effect of "although this magazine is generally factual, this missed this be a mile. I said no such thing."

  6. FYI on Unpatched IE Flaw Extremely Critical · · Score: 0

    There is no "extremely critical" Something is either critical, or it's not.

  7. Acclaim's MACHINES on Industry Folks Talk Underrated Games · · Score: 0

    Great RTS that gives the added bonus of "taking over" any of the units and playing as a FPS. I've never spent more time on a game (in a more enjoyable way). Grab it if you can, I found it in a bargin bin at Menards for 3 bux. :) AND IT IS possible to get it to run under XP, just not easy. :)

  8. The reviewer was far too kind.. on Review: Serious Sam II · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I thought it was one of the worst FPS's I've ever played, though I can be harsh. (personally, I think quake 4 (single player) is a completely un-inspired piece of crap.) Skip it. Not even worth the download.

  9. _ UNDERLINING_ on ATI Launches Crossfire... Finally · · Score: 0

    I can't take it. I couldn't read the article, though I did try. My brain wants to skip ahead and my eyes won't let it and.. I just get one heck of a headache. Am I alone here? eesh..

  10. Yahoo on Where is the Killer Calendar? · · Score: 0

    Yahoo has an EXCELLENT calendar, w/ to do list and notes. It synchs to your PDA using free software from yahoo (and the default datebook on a palm pda). I never actually look at the thing online, but if my pda ever dies, it will re-synch to the net and I'm good to go.

  11. Re:WOW. What amazingly bad graphics. on Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess · · Score: 0

    OH, WELL THEN.. I'm an idiot. But I'm still buying a 360. ;)

  12. WOW. What amazingly bad graphics. on Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I created an account just to say this: THAT LOOKS LIKE CRAP. I've been a huge nintendo fan boy for years, but I'll be buying an Xbox 360; thank-you-very-much. The original Xbox could quite obviously push MANY more poly's than the gamecube. The new 360 is reported to be 15 to 20 times more powerful than the original. The revolution is suppose to be "2 or 3 times" more powerful (nintendo quote) than the original crap-tastic 'cube. Oh, as a bonus, it'll be coming out a year + (at least, probably 2.. look at their track record) LATER than the 360. The king is dead, long live MS. (eesh)
