  1. Re:Sony... Microsoft... on Pricing For Retro Games on the Wii · · Score: 1

    Is the PS3 backward compatible with the 2 and 1? You can get some of those from places like Game Stop for around $10.

    ...Are we paying attention?? You can make millions and make your customers happy without gouging your customers.

  3. Re:Is effective advertising even bad? on Why Web 2.0 Will End Your Privacy · · Score: 1

    Advertising isn't bad when it's something you're interested in and not "click the monkey" in your face flash (love flashblock). I don't block Google's ads (love adblock) simply because they're not obtrusive. The only time an ad was so bad that I have never returned to the site was when I was visiting a so-called Linux Site and the entire right margin is a Microsoft ad. Talk about skewed advertising.

  4. Re:he is exactly right on Net Neutrality: Lobbyist McCurry Raises Ire · · Score: 1

    I just think it's funny to assume that Elected, sitting in the House or Senate Democrats are paid by corporations. While it may be true that part of an elected official's salary is paid by corporations through taxes, don't I also pay elected officials? Oh, we're talking about hush hush <wink /> <wink /> type stuff, huh?

    Very well said.

    ...someone pulled out their copy of Real Genius and thought, "Hey, if someone else thinks of this movie and puts a laser in a satellite to snipe us, we should pre-emptively strike with a laser that shoots their satellites!".

  13. Re:Dupe on N.Y. County Mandates Wireless Security · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not a dupe, a continuation. You took all the time to search for the story but you didn't bother to read it. The first story was about the proposal. This story is about the enactment. The only dupes here are the comments about this story being a dupe.

  14. Re:last-Minute Delays = Years for geeks like me on Last-Minute Delays Looming for HD-DVD Launch? · · Score: 1

    Depending on what version you choose, it will more than likely automatically detect Windows. Ubuntu is quite popular for novices and Fedora is also good. If for some odd reason the version just doesn't happen to detect Windows do this:

    Open a terminal as root or su into root
    cd /boot/grub
    Use your favorite editor (`nano`|`pico`|`kate`|`gedit`) grub.conf
    add the following lines

    title Windows
    rootnoverify (hd0,0) <~~ look at your current grub.conf to find out exactly this should be

    which came from Lucent which came from AT&T Technologies which came from Western Electric which came from AT&T. So we're both right.

  19. Re:Would you call this fruition?! on Alcatel and Lucent to Merge · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My guess is most of those losses will be on the US side of the merger.

    Soooooooo will they rename themselves Western Electric and merge with AT&T?

  21. Re:paid spam on Getting on Top of Spam Down Under · · Score: 1

    This might actually restrict mail you don't want whereas AOL will allow anyone who gives them money to spam your mailbox. Pretty much if you report nuisance mail they should stop the flow with filters. AOL doesn't care what you want unless you're willing to pay more than the business that wants past AOL's filters.

  22. Re:More reasons for repudiating copyright and IP on Blizzard Sued By Game Guide Creator · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Funny, one of the word of the day phrases on Google today is "The chief obstacle to the progress of the human race is the human race." - Don Marquis.

    It ties in that Blizzard will stifle any competition because it only wants itself to make money. Maybe Blizzard wants to release its own Game Guide. I, for one, hope Blizzard loses or else this may set precedent for others to sue publishers for producing Game Guides.
