  1. Hmm on S. Korea's Stress-Driven Online Gaming Addiction · · Score: 0

    This is insightful and all, but I really must get back to silkroad... my charachter has most of his health back... kneeling is a good time to read slashtot.

    Next on my list of things to do while kneeling: Go to the bathroom.

    Word. So am I!

    Only a few close friends know my internet handle.

    My last name is a word that is associated with a good portion (more than 50%) of all blogs, and my First name (Jim) is to common to snoop out. None of my websites have a picture of me.

    I say Good luck, read all you like.

  3. Re:iAlertU over a bluetooth mobile? on MacSaber Turns Your Macbook into a Lightsaber · · Score: 0

    Another thing about iAlertyou I found is that anybody with the remote could walk up and deactivate the alarm...

    Then I found a solution to my own problem... hack the source to accept key combos.

    The day I turn 16, I'm gonna get the highest-paying job I can. When I'm in college I'll fix people's computers for $20. Then I'll get the highest-paying job I can at like AT&T or wherever. I'll slowly save... and then I'll Buy a bunch of Cisco routers. I will then tap into peering points and build a fair ISP, Stabbing my employer in the back.

    You May laugh now, but AT&T is going down.

    Imagine Skype on a 10/10Gbit Connection. Better than CDs.

    I was thinking the same thing.

    I'll run as many nodes as I can... like 1 atm.

    We (nerd/paranoid commmunity) just need to get WiMax or Mesh WiFi systems in place and then we could dump the Traditional phone system.

  8. My cash is going into PC gaming. on PS3 Launch Details Announced · · Score: 0

    This Pic says that thee will be a chance for PC gaming with the PS3 Controller. I'll pe happily playing Quake 4 and UT2007 on my PC while the rest of you are out waging console wars or working your assess off for some $ to buy into one Big, Expensive, non-upgradable, doomed-to-fail rootkit.

    For the Price of a PS3, I could get a Decent Graphics card and a RAM upgrade.

  9. Re:I still watch Beta on Video Games and the Hi-Def Format Wars · · Score: 0

    Doubtful I'll upgrade either. DVD9 Can store High Def content Just fine. So can DVD5... but to a more limited extent. If I ever get a High Def TV, I'll just buy one of those DivX/WMV9 DVD players and use that. -- Oh crap! they wont be for sale that much longer! BluRay and HDDVD are going to wipe out the market for DVDs!!! *grabs wallet, slams door, runs to Best Buy*

    *freshman in high school talking here*

    There are some real idiots...
    "*nasaly laugh* hey... jim... I put paper in your CD drive... will it explode?"
    and some not-so-idiots, such as myself and a few of my friends. Those friends and I took Visual Basic .NET this year (it's the only computer class availible to freshman, and it's a prereq to everything else) and so far the class has been nothing but infureatingly easy. I've seriously wanted to beat the teacher over the head with the book and shoud "FUCK IT! WE ALREADY KNOW THIS! FUCKING MOVE ON, DAMNITT!!" Now, that teacher has moved on into the complicated world of Web Prgoramming... in HTML. (We're only allowed to use html, head, title, body, p, hn, tables, definition lists, and basic font stylings.) This time, I have come close to beating the teacher over the head with one of the CRTs.

    The Schools need to offer a range of classes... some for those who need clarification on the function of a mouse and other classes for people who have built clusters in their mom's basements out of 486s to P4s.

    My friends are going to lobby the school for A+ Prep classes this summer.

    Don't say it's too hard... thats a challenge... you wouldn't like it when you challenge me.

    Yes, I have built my own computer, compiled my own kernel, dabbled in assembler, programmed homebrew Apps for PSP, fixed the Xine Libs so they work properly on my system, and been deemed the go-to guy for computer problems in my neigborhood... thanks for asking.

    No matter how cute they are, and how good of pets they are, and how they've served us so loyaly in the past, I belevie that there is an overpopulation of congress critters. Some even have a genetic disorder known as 'stupidity' to the experts, which causes them extreme pain. Please stop the hurting and put these poor creatures out of their misery.

    As I look at my own congress critters with affection and pet them lovingly, I'm forced to conclude that they serve no purpose and that they're more trouble than they're worth, dispite thier cuddly fur.
