  15. Re:Lies, Damn Lies and Editing Video... From Toron on Getting Gouged by Geeks · · Score: 1

    It seems obvious to me that $120 RAM is only the part cost the tech charge, on top of the hourly fee for fixing it. The odd one out, the infonec guy that did not try to charge anything, seems a bit nervous. May be he noticed the hidden camera and reacted accordingly.

  16. Another junk review on HDMI-Enabled Graphics Cards Debut · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sigh... All the new features, untested. Do the audio passthrough work? Any audio lag? Do this whole HDCP bullshit actually works and let you play your HD-DVD through PC to your HDMI+HDCP TV? Can it scale anything to 1080P properly?

    Instead they go through another boring loop of 3D benchmarks. I hate these two-bit hardware sites that only knows how to overclock and run benchmarks.

  17. Re:All democratic companies should pull out on Microsoft Considers Pulling Out of China · · Score: 1

    You are surely wrong. Many Chinese political dissedents support more trade in China as an obvious way to convert the country from the bottom. http://www.freetrade.org/node/169 According to Chinese dissident Wang Dan, "Economic change does influence political change. China's economic development will be good for the West as well as for the Chinese people." Do a search to see how many years Wang spent in jail before.

    WTF? Damn next time you post actually content, don't italic them. My eye just treated the part with real link as a quote and skipped them. Still, it was just an official making threats to organized crime type. The P2P scene in China is still growing. In piracy related crime, this is about the worst case that I know about: 12 years prison for hosting pr0n: http://www.zonaeuropa.com/20050514_1.htm
