    It's an Intel chip running at 1.6 GHz with integrated graphics, WoW probably won't run at all.

    But you also get AOLs superior security package with that $18.

  7. Re:devil's advocate... on ATI Claims HDCP Then Covers Its Tracks · · Score: 1

    This is exactly what I thought. It's still early in the business day, who's to say that a formal press release and mass recall aren't in the works?

    If you had a flood in your basement, what would you do first? Turn off the water or start mopping?

  8. Re:Yeah but after on A 1.2 Petabyte Hard Drive? · · Score: 1

    From the article you linked to:
    Another side point is that many people mistakenly attribute the discrepancy in reported and advertised capacities to reserved space used for file system and partition accounting information. However, for large (several GiB) filesystems, this data rarely occupies more than several MiB, and therefore cannot possibly account for the apparent "loss" of tens of GBs.

  9. Re:Backup and preservation of investment? on RIAA: Ripping CDs to iPod not 'Fair Use' · · Score: 1

    Last I checked that only applied to CDR and CDRW.

  14. Re:North Continent on BitTorrent and End to End Encryption · · Score: 1

    Then why can ISPs in places like Sweden and South Korea offer thier customers 100/100 lines for only double what I'm paying for 5/1? Networks aren't expensive, the ISPs want you to think that way.

  15. Re:Google is your friend on Installing Windows with Recent Updates? · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Convenience on Standby Electronics a Waste? · · Score: 1

    Even my car stereo can do it.

    Your car stereo does this by slowly draining your battery.

  17. Re:Sounds good, but maybe not? on Wireless USB hubs · · Score: 1

    Knowing you were using a wireless mouse could have caused you to alter the results to meet the outcome you expected. See here. Your anecdotal evidence is not valid.

  18. Re:Sounds good, but maybe not? on Wireless USB hubs · · Score: 1

    there is lag

    You can tell yourself that all you want, that doesn't make it true. As to most gamers using wired mice, I suspect it would have something to do with the extra weight of the batteries.

  22. Re:Not safe for implantees on Maglev Elevators by 2008? · · Score: 2, Informative

    No. Wallets erasing credit cards is a myth. It takes an insanely intense magnetic field to erase credit cards. When you go on a modern roller coaster that uses magnetic brakes are you asked to leave your credit cards behind?

    I've heard of geek porn but jerking it over a textbook?

  24. Re:No genious but not terrible on "Bookshelf" Computer Wins Design Contest · · Score: 1

    The Vantec NexStar 3 enclosures stack very well (ignore the picture, the stand is removable). But if you need to eliminate some cables, these can stack 5 high with 1 USB and 1 power cable. They are a bit pricey though
