  1. Re:Sound in XP on Playing Music Slows Vista Network Performance? · · Score: 1

    Hate is such a strong word.

  2. Re:I liked the part.... on Voyager Spacecraft Celebrate 30th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    I think we need to get that changed to the Zoidberg Nebulae!

  3. Uncle Rico Strikes Back on Star Wars Fan Puts Himself in Carbonite · · Score: 2, Funny

    When I saw the pictures I thought they had frozen Napoleon Dynamite in Carbonite.

  4. He obviously can't afford an iPod on Online Music Stores Compared · · Score: 1

    I have a feeling he didn't get an iPod for his birthday, or he got a small cheap bad sounding mp3 player.

    I'll probably never own an Apple computer, but I love my iPod. I would have never spent the money on myself for it. I thought "After all it's only a music player that cost $299.". I have a 4G iPod, and having the album art, and pictures is an awesome feature. You can use the iPod as a portable hard drive. You just have to set it up that way in the options. You lose the ability to connect and disconnect at will if you do, but the option is there.

    I used iTunes way before I ever had my iPod. When Pepsi was doing the promo with the free iTunes songs was when I got "stuck". I'm not sure why he says the ability to burn the audio files to CD then rip them to mp3 is "ridiculous and unwieldly". I think it's a step you should take when you purchase music from iTunes especially when it's lossless audio. Then you have a good backup copy that's not on a hard drive. The people in this forum who were complaining about losing their music downloads lose that argument or they are foolish for not taking care of their data.

    I also don't think people consider the DAC in the cost the iPod or other mp3 players either. You get what you pay for. I don't know what DAC the iPod uses, but it does one heck of a job making mp3's listenable.

    I think the person who wrote the review "Ain't too bright", or got bent-over by Apple somehow.

  5. The Families on NASA Admin Says Shuttle and ISS are Mistakes · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that was a great comfort to the family, friends, and co-workers of the crews that died on the two shuttle disasters.

  6. Re:Good only for DVD viewing on CNET's HDTV World · · Score: 1

    Some HDTV tuners scale up the regular broadcast to HDTV resolutions depending on the quality of the "regular broadcast" it can look better. Of course there are TV broadcasts in HDTV which take advantage of HDTV far better than DVD does. Like some of the other people who have posted ther is no comparison between football on HDTV and regular definition TV. I have Time Warner cable they carry the major networks (NBC,ABC,CBS,FOX)plus ESPN and several other channels including HBO and Showtime in HDTV. HDTV rules!

  7. I give up! on RFID Tags in Law Enforcement · · Score: 1

    I'll except the number of The Beast. Let's get this little Apocalypse thing rolling. I'm sick of being the frog in the slowly rising water temperature. Boil me already!
