  1. Or WASTE on "Series of Tubes" Metaphor Implemented · · Score: 1

    It also seems a lot like a program WASTE we used to use here at my job to download music from each other without being detected running a P2P network. It was basically described as a "series or hidden TUNNELS in the network". It was interesting because you had to have approval to join the network, and only people who had your private key could connect directly to you, so the network was usually limited to a few trusted people.

  2. Re:What about the FreeBSD Girl? on Top Ten Geek Girls · · Score: 1

    i suddenly feel a...uh...stirring to change my OS...

  3. Re:Are you kidding me? on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    I say my good man, Isn't that a bit presumptuous to assume I didn't watch the Movie? Perhaps I did see the movie at my towns local Indie Movie theater (conveniently located in my home town) and remain unimpressed with his efforts, and agree with another persons post. If this is such a serious message...why not give it away....

  4. Re:Are you kidding me? on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    uh....Last i checked...and mind you it has been a while... last i checked...they don't put the movie premiere...in the movie, BUT...i could be wrong. I'm not a bigwig hollywood insider.

  5. Are you kidding me? on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Is this a plant or what? This isn't news its an Advertisement pulled from netflix about the DVD release. Want to know my favorite part of the movie? When at the premier, the entire "cast" got into big Lincoln SUV's. Drove Four blocks. And then went to movie. It's movies like these that try to drum up sensationalist support for half hearted causes that eventually push into politics. Like everything else. Besides...Harry Potter and the balance of Earth was a much better story line that he wrote.

  6. Re:Zombies Ate My Neighbors! on Best 2+ Player Video Games? · · Score: 1

    God i love Zombies ate my Neighbors. In fact that game alone is responsible for my crippling zombie addiction, that prevents me from not buying any movie with the word Zombie in the title. I need to play it now...Damn you!! where my emmulator?!

  7. Re:It's all about "a nice cup of tea" on Peter Gabriel Wants You to Re-Shock the Monkey · · Score: 1

    1. Interactivity is important to some people. Not everyone is content to just sit back and watch. They want to be able to control the sound, aspect ratio, color, warmth of the video. No everyone in the world was born into a constitutional monarchy, mate. some of us like our choices even if they just complicate things. 2. Remixing is one of the greatest arts in music. Not everyone is talented or creative enough to make new music. But occassionally, you get a combination of two artists in a remix that turns our a result that is better than the originals. I refer you to Q UNIT . Also, not every remix has a large black bloke talking. Some of them are rather short in hieght. 3. I don't drink coffee or tea. I do suggest a nice Vitaminwater thought. 4. I don't know what the Chav's in your country do, but most of us wear pants that fit us.

  8. Re:Does anyone know how to get google to do on Gap Between Google and Competition Widening · · Score: 1

    its called Boolean searches... Boolean Searches on google Yeah i used google to remember how to spell it. There is a whole study of these to learn how to phrase words with quotes and brackets and the such. Good luck.

  9. Re:Chocolate war? on Banned Books published by Google · · Score: 1

    My mother teaches the book. There is reference to kids calling each other "fag" and shit. You know, so that has to be sexual content, because everything to do with that word is sexualized. yech. banned books in the land of free, that guy from denmark had the right question...he didn't understand how we could ban them.

  10. Re:Physics has no place in comics on The Physics of Superheroes · · Score: 1

    i know. My girlfriend keeps trying to tell me he was in some other movies where he doesn't play Wolverine. I don't believe her. And just cause IMDB says it doesn't mean anything. That website has been known to be wrong before....

  11. Physics has no place in comics on The Physics of Superheroes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    just like it has no place in movies that aren't documentaries about physics. This book is just as bad sounding as the website Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics . Maybe i am the minority here, but i think entertainment shouldn't be subjected to scrutinty like this. Who cares if spidermans web is not able to do what it does in the comic. Whoever referenced the superman vs darth vader is right, those are the important questions (Like who would win in a fight Neo or Gandalf) not, what are the physics of superman's flying. Its called supsension of disbelief, its what allows us to go to the movies and see Logan/wolverine and not hugh jackman just wearing gardening tools on his hands.

  12. My xbox would be mad too on Easy Fix for Scratched CDs · · Score: 1

    If i tried to make it play Kings of leon too. Yeesh. BTW, I saw an episode like this on G4 about 3 years ago at a friends house. They where testing out those "fix your cd" machines you can buy at Blockbuster and the such and comparing the results to using baking soda tooth paste (the baking soda acts as the mild abrasive in the toothpaste). I think i remember the toothpaste working a little better, although the music choice for them wasn't much better than kings of leon.

  13. map loading is way too slow now on Google Offering Live Traffic Maps via Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    I have a blackberry 7130 from Verizon that i download the Google maps app on. I use it for tracking weird NJ locations and directions on the fly. Now my map load take too long, and its not worth waiting for the satalitte view, because its just never seems to fully load. I'll probably forget what the yellow green and red lines mean in a week, but i will remember that now my google maps loads way to slow, effectively making it useless when i am out on the road to get my maps and get them fast. Oh well.

  14. Its not just the patriot act..... on Patriot Act Bypasses Facebook Privacy · · Score: 1

    Google can find some embarrassing stuff too. I had a friend who if you searched his first and last name & and sexual term, you got a PDF copy of a newpaper article he worked on in college. with on the cover in his boxers. another one of my close friends had to delete his myspace because the URL contained his last name which was also the name of his Dad's business. The problem was people where searching for his dad, but getting his myspace. So, people don't need the patriot act to find you...they just need to know how to search google.

  15. Re:Bank of America web crap on GnuCash 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    i use the banking feature. the credit cards i have don't actually work with BoA, well my mbna card, but i closed that about a year and a half ago. yeah its impossible trying to talk to the "tech" people who are trained to say "did you forget your security question?" and thats it.

  16. Re:How well supported by banks? on GnuCash 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Bank of America doesn't support anything but MS. I can't even open my account in firefox using IE TABS. Terrible terrible layout, and very annoying habbit of crashing when i am about to pay bills. If i wasn't so lazy i'd consider switching banks.

  17. art imitates life? on Being Scared in Games is Needed · · Score: 1

    or life imitates art. I am blessed to live in NJ whish has an abundance of abandonded building, schools, etc. While this is not unusual we happen to have a wed site and magizine celebrating it. Many a time i can remember being in some abandoned building, bunker, basement or tunnel system. Listening to...something...barely breathing..daring to only slowly peak around the corner because who know what vile creature might come running down the hall. The best games for me instill this feeling. You lose yourself. Silent hill, definatley creepy. It was made to not scare, but settle uneasily around your shoulder till the weight of it drives your shreaking towards open air and if available...sunlight. I remember the last trip we took saying " the only thing we need now is a zombie attack like in RE" while we trekked through an abandoned military bunker system....

  19. Too bad its not mozilla Friendly on Windows Live Messenger with VoIP · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it works for me in firefox too. And even if it didn't i used the IE Tabs plug in and opened it that way too. an it worked fine. That was mostly a pointless comment by the original posted. So i downloaded it. Ew. it comes with Rhapsody. no thanks. No support for sip messaging. sucks wanted to use it instead of MSN messenger for work. logged in uder my never used optonline account. anyone want to play with it?

  20. Re:vonage "spamming" using voicemails on Vonage going IPO · · Score: 1

    In retrospect the "cry me a river" comment was over the top. Wage earner with not riding on the IPO? Work in customer care? no. Does that excuse me comment...not really. But, yeah...i got enough riding on this IPO that i want it to go successfully, and enough loyalty to my company to make ill addvised defenses of its practices.

  21. vonage "spamming" using voicemails on Vonage going IPO · · Score: 1

    I am a vonage employee. I can't discuss the IPO beyond whats been published (and to be honest I don't really know all that much more). However, the use of the Voicemail is not uncommon to send messages out. One of the towns in my area actually uses a voicemail/autodialer to let people know about problems, such as when a water main pipe burst etc. we use the voicemail and email, to insure that customer get the information. To many customer have filters on emails, don't get important information, and then complain. An extra voicemail? cry me a river. Did you get your ipo information? yes.

  22. i dunno..i hate the look but love the idea on Electric Car Faster Than A Ferrari or Porsche · · Score: 1

    The fact is the car is ugly...so are the spyders. But...since i am a local shore boy here...everything i do is within 100 miles of me.. In fact its a rare day when i drive more than 70s. That includes work, to the Girlfriends, out with the boys, whatever. if they could slap this engine in my civic...i'd be happy... but this is kinda cool too Go Propane

  23. Maybe i am alone on this but... on Classic Star Wars Trilogy Finally on DVD · · Score: 1

    I don't really care for the "star wars universe". Lucas has long since ruined the story for me with his changes to the original movies, crappy prequel and in all a loss of the original heart of the story. I think the simpsons had it right when they made fun of the series, and George Lucas, haveing the AT AT break into senate...then sit down to wait his turn to speak. i have the original series on the remasted VHS...and i don't think i have watched it in years. Yes, when i was younger i loved stars wars...i had the ewok tree house too. But since i have gotten older i have realized how wooden, and how badly done the movies really are. I know i am not gonna win converts...but it just seems like anytime Lucas rereleases something from past decades, everyone is on his junk with how great it is. has anyone actually seen that THX movie? Yeeesh.

  24. Re:Why All the Hate for Rockbox? on Improve Your iPod with Rockbox · · Score: 1

    Actually there seems to be an even amount of hate and love for the rockbox software. I would be running it, right now if my girlfriend hadn't appropriated my ipod and if rockbox had firmware for the one i have (i have learned through hard hard experience, that trying to "force" firmware to work, doesn't).

  25. Rockbox on the Archos on Improve Your iPod with Rockbox · · Score: 2, Informative

    before i bought my Ipod, i had a 20 Gig archos jukebox. I found out about Rockbox and flashed it. I enjoyed it, at the time the Ipod was well out of my price range, and the Firmware flash was as close to the ipod as possible. It listed your Songs by artist, which was my preferred way to list them, in folders, much like itunes. You could play the whole list, or just a particular artist. You could change the Screen, invert it, flip it, negative it, and the EQ was probably about 10 times better than the one on the archos. Best part was, the firmware was seriously just a folder the loaded before the archos...deflashing it was as simple as deleting the rockbox folder.
