  1. Re:Editors?!? on Dell Laptops Still Exploding · · Score: 1

    A bamalance is either an ambulance that came from Alabama, or what a 3 year old calls the truck that takes people with boo-boo's to the Hopsital. Geeze.

  2. Re:New consoles upconverting old DVDs on 360 HD-DVD Add-on Dropped to $179 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm no expert but I just googled this article that was posted yesterday. It appears that neither console currently supports it but Sony is currently 'working on it'. Good luck. http://kotaku.com/gaming/sony/ps3-dvd-upscaling-pr omised-218517.php

  3. You wish it wasn't true. on Study Indicates In-Game Ads Actually Work · · Score: 1

    I'm amazed at all of the posts suggesting that ads don't work. An advertisement is successful even if it only makes you ever so slightly more familiar with a product. You don't even have to read it, and whether you want to or not your brain is going to remember something seemingly insignificant about the ad like color or general shape. And the next time around your brain will remember a tiny bit more, and so on. Then you'll see the product somewhere else in the 'real' world and your brain is gonna make the connection whether you like it or not. Its so damn close to brainwashing that it scares me. My solution for fighting the system is to stay drunk most of the time. Those PEPSI ads won't get me.

  4. Where's my Sony MiniDisk on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The first thing that came to mind for me was the Sony MiniDisk. For a while in the late 90's all I remember is late-nite and weekend infomercials for the Sony MiniDisk. I waited forever for that thing to take off. It was apparently another attempt to succede the audio tape but I feel its a way better flop than DAT because I've actually seen DAT.

  5. Re:My plan on Guitar Hero Developer Announces Rock Band · · Score: 1

    I think you're confusing the concept of "work" vs. "entertainment". I love my FPS but I'm not gonna buy a gun and learn to snipe.

  6. Re:Dead nozzles ? on New Inkjet Technology 5 To 10 Times Faster · · Score: 1

    Current "back-and-forth" printers overlap themselves to hide bad nozzles. Most make about 8 passes over the image, putting down 1/8th of the ink each time. This is essentially a 1 pass printer which makes me wonder what they're going to do about bad nozzles.

  7. Re:often the customer pays on Who Pays For Credit Card Breaches? · · Score: 1

    Another way the customer pays is when their credit rating gets knocked down several points because of the "fraud" note tacked on to the credit rating.

  8. Re:Internet PVR on Up Next... Skypecasting · · Score: 1

    BeyondTV from Snapstream will broadcast recorded shows from your home over the internet. There is a free trial and the full version costs about $60 US. I don't broadcast my own stuff only because I haven't spent the time to figure out how to get the stream past my firewall.
