  1. Re:Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD, the winner is... on Toshiba Subsidizes $200/Unit on New HD Player · · Score: 1

    And the loser is... whichever company tries to stop p0rn from being displayed on their medium... which is one of the primary reasons the Betamax failed.

    As with every other technology, P0rn drives the market.

    666 - Mark of the Beast, anyone?

    im not a conspiracy theorist, but this does sound a lot like the 666 bit. Lemme see here, this chip will go into the back of the right hand or the forehead, according to Revelations... Does that sound about right??

    Even if this isnt the apocolypse, Im sure any of the Roswell nuts will be marching on DC and the White House any day now.

    2002??? F that. I boycotted that POS since the day it came out.

    Shoot, I used to carry around a copy of netscape 6 on an official CD. Then I switched to Mozilla Milestone 13-something. Who the hell thinks integrating a browser into the SHELL is a good idea??!!??

  6. MythTV box on O'Reilly Builds a MythTV Box · · Score: 1

    I dont use Myth TV or Linux for that matter. my equipment predates Windows media Ctr edition's creation. I built the first edition of my box in October of 2002. I built it because i was tired of watching movies, music videos and tv shows id downloaded on my small computer monitor, and my tv was too far away to lace in. so i built a cheap box and served all the videos accross my network. there generally isnt all that much tv thats on that i want to watch. I download almost all the TV i watch from BitTorrent. its easier that way, and saves me alot of money on my cable bill.

    That, and i also rent movies from blockbuster, rip them with DVD Decrypter, and encode them into Xvid with Auto-Gordian Knot. Oh, yeah, between my two machine im now up to 1.2 terabytes of HD space.
