  1. Re:cameraphones on Seitz's 160 Megapixel Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    Not just any blurry art, but super high-resolution blurry art!

  2. cameraphones on Seitz's 160 Megapixel Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    160MP in a pinhole camera. That'll be sure to produce some great results...

    ... an hour after you finish installing it, you want to install it again.

    That's still much better than our favorite operating system from that other red place: An hour after you finish installing it, you have to install it again...

    As far as I'm concerned it won't matter what happens, just as long as I get my soma.

  5. Re:Your mileage may vary? on Gran Tourismo HD Cars Sold Seperately? · · Score: 1

    Just make sure you buy the engine last, since that's the part they'll most likely swap out at the last minute.

    True true...I realized that right as I hit the submit button. :-/

    Smooth one. If you can't use Flash, here's a link to a different video service that uses Flash...

  8. Re:Reversal of watergate on HP CEO Allowed 'Sting' on CNet reporter · · Score: 4, Funny

    If this happens, though, use of "gate" as a suffix is strictly forbidden, because that's just silly.

    I think they've been following that rule for a while now. Notice how there's been no "investigate" for a long time...

    I believe the word he was looking for is innovativosity.

    Just further proof that you can't trust anything with the name "Hurd" attached to it... : p

  11. Re:Sheeeesh... it would take that much just to on YouTube Won't Sell For Less Than $1.5 Billion · · Score: 2, Informative

    I wouldn't be surprised if the bandwidth bill was considerably higher than $1M a month. That was the figure I heard being tossed around about 4 or 5 months ago. YouTube's been continuing to grow at a steady rate all year, so it's probably approaching $1.5M/month.

  12. I don't care on Maryland Governor Wants Paper Ballots · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't care which party he's in. As long as he's trying to get rid of electronic voting until such time that it can prove itself to be trustworthy, then he's doing the right thing.

  13. Re:Ahem... on Microsoft DRM To Get Even Tighter · · Score: 1

    It looks like the inclusion of a usable mp3 encoder was finally included with WMP10. Since I never use the program I've never bothered with updating it from WMP9, which makes you pay them for the ability to encode mp3s at anything other than 56kbps. And yes I'm more than aware that you can go find another encoder, but remember that that isn't the audience we're talking about here.

  14. undo the damage done on Mathematician Claims New Yorker Defamed Him · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought it was the mathematics and physics guys who'd be bringing us the time machine, not the New Yorker...

  15. Re:Ahem... on Microsoft DRM To Get Even Tighter · · Score: 1

    I guess you forgot that WMP only comes with a barely usable mp3 encoder (only does 56kbps). Your only option out of the box is to rip in WMA format (unless your OEM was really nice and actually included the mp3 encoder for WMP).

  16. nice on Microsoft DRM To Get Even Tighter · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is beautiful. Microsoft goes even further in restricting your rights for material you already own (god knows what purchases will be like). Meanwhile, Apple has been going in the other direction, finally adding a "transfer purchases from iPod" menu option in iTunes 7.

  18. Re:Ease of use vs price? on Wal-Mart Leaks Zune Price · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen the software that's going to be shipped with the Zune but I'm guessing it'll be similar to iTunes.

    I'm guessing the software for the Zune will be the pinnacle of usability known as Windows Media Player.

    Hey, if anybody's gonna have some good insight into the underworld, it'd be a mole...

    That was exactly my thought: "I guess it's not gonna be on the PS3 or the 360..." : p

  21. Re:Vinyl was already immortal... on Analog Revival Means Vinyl Will Outlive CD · · Score: 1

    Ahh. Thanks for the correction. I was always under the impression that blue notes were a result of the harmonics...

  22. Re:if only... (was Re:XBox in Japan) on Microsoft's Tokyo Game Show Showing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They almost did have a PS1 emu. Connectix, the company that MS bought VirtualPC from, used to make a PS1 emulator for Mac and Windows. However, Sony bought it from Connectix after failing to win a lawsuit over it.

  23. Re:Oh I thougt MS had a Game Show on Microsoft's Tokyo Game Show Showing · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hear the chair toss is a big hit.

  24. Re:Vinyl was already immortal... on Analog Revival Means Vinyl Will Outlive CD · · Score: 1

    This is absolutely true. Just because you can't physically hear a sound doesn't mean it doesn't exist and affect other sounds. Harmonic overtones are a major player here. Without them, certain jazz wouldn't have what is described as "blue tones."

  25. Re:Dude, what about HD DVD on Xbox 360 adds 1080p Support · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm well aware that media that can take advantage of 1080p is slowly coming out. However, my comment was written in response to pjr.cc's claim that he is using a 1080p plasma (very few exist) to receive 1080p signals in Australia (where there are no 1080p signals). Claiming that you are actively using something to receive signals that don't exist is very different from claiming that you intend to use something down the road.
