  1. Re:Safety and technology on BBC Tests Pre-Commercial Toshiba Fuel Cell Laptop · · Score: 1

    good thing there seem to be multiples of these sensors

  2. Re:"practical" is relative on BBC Tests Pre-Commercial Toshiba Fuel Cell Laptop · · Score: 1

    RTFA? The fuel canister is only 100 mL. The rest of the block is unknown, probably the cell part itself.

  3. Re:Fanboys on Halo 2 PC Vista Only, With Exclusive Content · · Score: 1

    They could always pirate Vista too. That's actually more like the fanboys, but oh well.

  4. Re:Summary error? on How the PS3 Hit $600 · · Score: 1

    My bad, thought it was Toshiba and IBM without Sony.

  5. Fanboys on Halo 2 PC Vista Only, With Exclusive Content · · Score: 1

    Surefire way to get the Halo fanboys to get Vista that much faster.

  6. Summary error? on How the PS3 Hit $600 · · Score: 1

    "the final price was escalated by two very advanced (and very expensive) pieces of Sony technology." Huh? Cell processors are now a SONY technology? Since when?

  7. Re:High Definition on How the PS3 Hit $600 · · Score: 1

    You don't actually need a 1200 dollar TV. You need a TV that has composite inputs, aka the ones that are on every TV for the past 15+ years. Plus, lots of the games are exclusive to the 360 within the console world.

  8. Hallelujah. on Xbox Live's First Big Update · · Score: 1

    We've been waiting for this download manager forever.

  9. Anarchy Online on Gamers Don't Care About In-Game Ads · · Score: 1

    In-game ads, in some situations, make the game world more realistic. Look at Anarchy Online for a great example of this. The only problem with this implementation is that there's not enough ads, so you ended up seeing ads for Motley Crue and Sprite Zero all the time.

  10. Re:That's nice but... on Motorola's New Open Source Resource · · Score: 1

    The first two aren't motorola's problem, I don't think. I've eben using Motorola phones since they came out with the V551 (a couple years ago), and the V551 and RAZR have both been very good, combined with Cingular coverage in Jersey. The phone I had before, a Nokia cheap POS, never had signal. I'd like to think your issues aren't because of Motorola, but rather the service provider. As for the UI....I've found no problem with it on either the RAZR or V551. The default skins were OK, and I could live with them. However, there's never a problem some phone hacking can't solve about UI issues. Have to do it to add more skins, which sucks, but hey, the new skins look alot better then the Verizon one. Oh, by the way, from what I know, Verizon's phones are either locked into, or just come standard with, a really, really nasty skin. It's by far the most godawful thing I've ever seen, but that's Verizon-only.

  11. Re:Sweet vaporware goodness! on Core 2 Extreme 40% faster than Pentium EE 965? · · Score: 1

    Since when have you seen a PC with 4 keyboards and mice, hooked up at once, and recognized by the computer as unique devices?

  12. Banshee? on The Lost Gizmondo Halo Title · · Score: 1

    Could you imagine following a banshee flying overhead in a CTF game? You'd be spinning in circles trying to follow it.

  13. Re:Will they be playable in 100 years? on Library of Congress Considers Archiving Games · · Score: 1

    I don't think ZSNES is going anywhere anytime soon. It'll be kept updated.

  14. Re:Perhaps you should ask... A NINJA on Wisdom From The Last Ninja · · Score: 1

    My god, why didn't you go for the karma, you anonymous coward??

  15. Re:Alienware on Dell Ships Gaming Systems Sans Bloat · · Score: 1

    My old alienware laptop came with its' share of bloatware, too. Not as bad as my brother's dell, but still a good amount.

  16. Stabilization on Store Your Own Juice · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't this have the net effect of stabilizing prices over the very short term, as in the span of hours?

  17. RAZR sounds like a good option. on Cell Phones for Laptop Users? · · Score: 1

    I've used my RAZR to sync and connect to the internet. The new version is basically the same, except with 3G and some better photo capabilities. Now if you can find a provider that's unlimited 3G, you've got a solution.

  18. Re:What's going on with the timestamps over there? on A Last Look at ApplixWare · · Score: 1

    People that are on the recieving end of an article are typically notified a day or two in advance. It's not surprising at all that they got a chance to respond before it was posted.

  19. Other stories? on TV Outside the Box · · Score: 1

    Haven't they had a couple other stories like this fairly recently? Maybe not on cnet, but all over the place?

  20. Re:THX, DTS, etc. on How The THX Noise Was Created · · Score: 5, Funny

    Probably the THX logo.

  21. Re:Nothing has changed on Cheer Up! Video Games Are In Great Shape · · Score: 1

    Well, sonny, back in my day, tetris stressed the hell outta those darned XT's.

  22. Invisibility on Phantom Lapboard Delayed · · Score: 1

    Not being able to see it is a nice feature, though.

  23. Re:Misinformation on No GoldenEye For Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    The N64 allowed for up to 256 MB, but Goldeneye and most other titles only used 64 MB.

  24. Re:laser pointers and planes on Sci-Fi Weapons to Join US Arsenal? · · Score: 1

    WTF?? This is the MILITARY using it for god's sake. They can do whatever they want, remember??

  25. Beating up drug dealers? on Games Lead To Violence and Drugs? · · Score: 1

    How does beating up a drug dealer in a game cause people to use drugs? Wouldn't that, if anything, cause people to go around beating up drug dealers?
