  1. Re:Is it ready? no. so? on Is Windows Vista Ready? 'No. God, no.' · · Score: 1

    XP? It's only crashed on me once, and that's because of a shitty driver when I was doing a reinstall over a new hard drive.

  2. Re:ATI + AMD != Linux driver? on Slashback: AMD/ATI, Tokamak Fusion, Laptop Privacy · · Score: 1

    A great deal of low-end laptops use the x200M chip. It's the AMD alternative to intel integrated (and a good deal better, too.)

  3. Re:Off Topic: AMD PR Numbers on AMD Slashing Prices Still Not Enough? · · Score: 1

    They're not based on a Pentium chip. The number rating is in relation to a 1 Ghz Duron (I belive it's Duron, but I might be wrong).

  4. Re:Hmmmm, Consoles on It's Official - AMD Buys ATI · · Score: 1

    No, he's referring to the ATI GPUs, not the CPUs, which are IBM.

  5. Re:Not the first Microsoft MP3 player ! on Microsoft Confirms New Music Player · · Score: 1

    I have one, and I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly with the Cnet review. It is an excellent device, and I feel, better than an iPod. It also integrates very well with WMP11 (MS's best MP to date) and Urge (well done, but nothing extrordinary). I'd reccomend it to anyone.

  6. Re:I don't get backslash on A Browser War Preview · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because Slashdot isn't about the stories, it's abou the comments. And by doing a Backslash, they can get a new crop of comments about a previous topic without A)Duping or B) finding a tangentially related story.

    I like it.

  7. Re:Slashdot DS on DS Web Browsing Looks Refreshingly Good · · Score: 4, Funny

    Still easier than "Blue.com"

  8. Re:This is prefectly acceptable on Worst Tech CEOs Earn the Most Money · · Score: 1

    My god... it's full of typos...

  9. Re:Is it or isn't it? on MS Portable Not A Game Player? · · Score: 1

    The 360 can connect with PMC 2.0 devices, I believe. Although the only one that works with it now is the Toshiba Gigabeat S. And all that link does is allow you to just about any music-related task with the device.

    At least, this shows that there is potential for connectivity with games.

  10. Droids? on DARPA Developing 'Droid' Satellites · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How are these droids? 'Droid is short for Android, as in a human-shaped robot. And while this definition may not hold fast in a galaxy far, far away, it most definately does for us. Why not just say "Robot?"

  11. Re:How is this different... on ' Naughty Bits' Decision Not So Nice · · Score: 1
    So...where's their beef here? That someone else is doing it?

    Um, yes. Can you not see the difference?

  12. Re:Hmm... on DS Claims EU Dominance · · Score: 1, Insightful

    But the NES isn't the only successful console. They came out with a slight majority vs. the genesis, and barely under a majority with the N64. And the gamecube did manage to beat the Xbox worldwide.

    That's a big difference from Apple's tiny minority.

  13. Re:Sony has the right to be arrogant on Jeff Minter on Sony's Arrogance · · Score: 1

    Sony barely got more than half when fighting the N64. I wouldn't call it "Absolutely Dominated." They won, but not by that much.

  14. Re:Just So Long As You're Satisfied. on AP Looks at Piracy, Misses the Point · · Score: 1

    Wow, a record company did something good, for once...

  15. Portable Firefox on Security on Public Machines? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try running Portable Firefox off of a flash drive, or even Damn Small Linux. Then you can keep your browser cookied so you don't have to enter data into forms. Not a great solution, but still better than the basic IE on whatever you're using.

    Of course, you could also just try using a Mac whenever possible. That would at least trim down the number of possible dangers.

  16. 500ghz on Intel Ditches Mobile Phone Processors · · Score: 1

    Must have been because they were intimidated by that chip that ran 250 times faster than a mobile phone processer that was in the news a couple of days ago...

  17. Too many jokes... on Star Wars Galaxies Emulator Test Server Hits Alpha · · Score: 1

    Begun, this lawsuit war has... As if a million gamers cried out at once and were silenced...

  18. Re:HD-DVD Target Demographic...Is Where? on Toshiba Subsidizes $200/Unit on New HD Player · · Score: 1

    It's not the studios that matter. It's the customers that matter. Whatever people buy is what's going to win. It just needs to gain enough momentum to get the rest of the studios to jump ship from the other one.

  19. Re:On running something just because someone told on TUAW Recommends Joke App · · Score: 1

    Not windows user, but just "Idiot." People have been blindly doing what others tell them to do since the beginning of time. What kind of computer they use doesn't matter.

  20. Does this make me happy? on Futurama Returns · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this make me happy?
    Is the space pope reptilian?

  21. Re:Direct2drive on Activision's Kotick Discounts Downloadable Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Probably not Steam either, which is much more popular.

  22. Re:OK... but why on Microsoft Developing iPod, iTMS Competitor · · Score: 1

    Actually, I've found WMP 11 quite useful and good-looking for organizing my library. Definately thier best effort for the software. It's been getting decent reviews, too.

  23. Re:Quality counts for something on Valve Talks Episode One · · Score: 1

    Just adding that HL2 isn't required for the episodes (except for story and such). So the cost of the game is just $60.

  24. Re:Lets hope they learn nothing from the game biz on What Hollywood Could Learn From the Gaming Industry · · Score: 1
    Original, Casablanca Technicolor, Casablanca Cinemascope, Casablance 3D, Casablanca THX etc etc

    Star Wars, Star Wars Box Set, Star Wars Special Editions, Star Wars Special Edition Box Set, Star Wars Remastered Special Special Hayden Christensen Edition, Star Wars Original Release Re-Release.

    We're closer than you think.

  25. Re:Apple List entries on The 100 Best Tech Products of 2006 · · Score: 1

    First, you're thinking of the MacBook/Pro cord, not the mini, and second, isn't effective dual boot on common and popular hardware somewhat more important than a little power cord that most reviews didn't like all that much?
