  1. Re:How is this provocative ? on China Tests Anti-Satellite Laser Weapon · · Score: 1

    My knowledge of international law is limited to what I've seen on Boston Legal and Ally McBeal, but isn't the space considered an international area like international waters?
    Can they shot down a spy satellite(no matter what country) if they have proof that's being used to spy on them?

  2. Dino Crisis on Sequels We'd All Like To See · · Score: 1

    I wish we could have more Dino Crisis.
    Dinosaurs > Zombies.

    Breaking news: Sony fails trying to stop porn on blu-rays.
    Sony can't even shoot themselves in the foot.

  4. Re:Work around? on YouTube Blocked in Brazil · · Score: 3, Informative

    I just did a quick survey with my friends, and all users from Virtua, Velox and Speedy, that is, most of the ISPs in Brazil are not blocking youtube.
    I recently discovered that BrTurbo blocks, besides youtube now, nasa.gov and perform traffic shaping. They should have used the court decision as an excuse to stop users from using one of the biggest bandwidth consuming sites.

  5. Re:What, this video? on YouTube Blocked in Brazil · · Score: 3, Funny

    What have we become my friends. The day is here where the law punishes a site for having porn, and the internets as we know it dies...

    I hope our children will forgive us, for leaving them a porn-less internets.

    Just applied your patch, thanks!
    Watching all those episodes of Dexter finnaly paid off.

  7. Re:Question... on Installing Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Installing YDL doesn't remove your ablility to play games. PS3 uses dual-boot, original proprieraty OS for games, blu-rays and dvds movies and "Other OS" for whatever you feel like.

    There's no modding involved. There's even instructions on how to install your 2nd OS of choice on your PS3.

  8. DMCA on YouTube's Content Identification Failure Raises Eyebrows · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Isn't all they need to comply with DMCA a link to allow reporting of DMCA violation/copyrighted protected content and removing of the content once verified?

  9. Re:This is going to.... on Near-Future Fords to Feature Windows Automotive · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Sorry for being late boss, my car got a virus and the time the gas ran out, I was in Canada!"

    I think I'll get an iCar instead.

  10. Re:PS3 on Could YouTube Be the Killer-App for Apple's iTV? · · Score: 1

    Even better:

    1- install azureus in ps3's linux, your distro of choice;
    2- install rss feed scanner;
    3- select your favorite shows;
    4- ...;
    5- Watch them when ver you want;

    It's like TiVO, but better, it's DRM free and supports any pirated tv show, movie or whatever.
    That's something I'd pay for, even when I'm already doing for free.

  11. Re:My top 5 predictions for Apple on 5 Predictions for Apple in 2007 · · Score: 1
    1. Apple will announce plans for a set-top box, integrating gaming, cable, and internet browsing
    That will happen when MS releases directx for MAC. Seriously, I hope(well, dream) Apple join forces with the OSS community actively supporting and lobbying SDL or some other alternative to tackle Windows/directx dominance of the pc gaming market.
  12. Freezing feature on Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose · · Score: 1

    It's past due time for Sony to stop copying Microsoft.

  13. Re:Any "gifts"? on Virtual Console Christmas is Retrotastic · · Score: 5, Funny

    Web browsing with no keyboard and weather forecast. Nintendo knows what gamers really want...

  14. Re:Linux is great and all on Sun Releases First GPLed Java Source · · Score: 1

    How about porting to the ps3 so efficiently, that you could run an emulator written in java that could run nintendo 64 games. That would be impressive.

    How about the mono crowd develop an interpreter layer, to convert in real-time cli to bytecode, to run .Net apps in the JVM. That would be cool too.

  15. Re:I doubt games will ever evoke much emotion on Sony's Phil Harrison Talks Emotion in Games · · Score: 1

    Before HD textures and realistic 3D models, they had to rely on storytelling to evoke an immersion. It seems that, for most people that is, all the flash makes up for no substance. Or, if you don't have enough money to spend on pretty graphics, just trow in "Mario" in the game title and millions will buy.

  16. Re:I really wish someone would reply to this quest on Microsoft Says PS3 Linux Not 'Competitive' To XNA · · Score: 1

    You could run VLC, but that's just for playing videos, audio and streams.
    The PS3 media center project, with TiVO-like, DVR capabilities(using usb capture devices) are a few months away yet.

  17. Viral on Sony Behind Fake YouTube Viral Campaign · · Score: 1

    It isn't fake, It IS a viral market campaign mixed with youtube fake phenomenoum(like lovelygirl15). It wouldn't be as effective if a company made a real ad and posted in youtube.
    By getting all this exposure they must alredy have succeded in spiking PSP sales.

    That and MGS Portable Ops(this game is awesome).

  18. Re:Always has been on Consumer Ad Blocking Doubles · · Score: 1

    I think that will the norm in a few years. No commercial breaks, just pop up a text ad or logo inside the show. That way they could even distribute the show online simultaneously for "free" (ad supported) since there would be now way to strip the ad from the video.

  20. Re:I'm actually quite impressed with Nintendo on Third Place Is Fine By Nintendo · · Score: 1

    When the announced the Wii would not be HD capable I figured they were dead in the water.
    I still think lack of HD(even 720p) will bite nintendo in the backlater on.

  21. Re:Get a Mac mini or a PS3 on What Analysts Will Be Buying For Christmas · · Score: 1

    I don't expect 360 to have linux, even unofficially, supported before the wii. Without MS help, I don't see the guys of free60 succeeding before 720 is released(maybe not even before 1080). I think nintendo suggested a linux second OS for the wii just like the ps3.

    Yes, by accident. That's what I tell my girlfriend. She never believes me.
