  2. Re:Its called asus on The Future of Creative and the Sound Card Market · · Score: 1

    Actually from what I understand its going to be a new sound card from the ground up that uses 2 processors in paralel

  3. Its called asus on The Future of Creative and the Sound Card Market · · Score: 1

    Asus announced that they are making their own sound card that will be fully compatible with vista.

    Why not just use your onboard sound while you wait for asus's card.

    heck my onboard sound max with optical digital out sounds twice as good as my creative card in vista.

    I say wait for the asus card :)

  4. Computer programming is hard and boring on Is Computer Science Dead? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think it will have problems in the future. I tired being a comp sci major. Porgramming is hard tedious mind numingly boring stuff. Most people realise that ,Unles syour into that sort of thing nobody in their right mind would do it. thats why their will be a problem in the future.

  5. Re:Sony is still in trouble if no price reduction on An Evening With Sony Computer Entertainment · · Score: 1

    Sorry about my spelling. iwanted to edit it but slashdot doesnt have an edit feature. Thats what I get for doing two things at once. You guys get the idea though. ALl it takes is for one price drop from Microsoft and sony is in BIG TROUBLE.There is a rumour going on that the premium will be the new $299 model and a model with a 120gig hdd in balck with an hdmi port will be the new $399 model. If that happens and say they drop the old core system down to $250 or $200 then sony will have some major problems on their hands and this home thing won't be able to save them.

  6. Sony is still in trouble if no price reduction on An Evening With Sony Computer Entertainment · · Score: 1

    If Sony does Not reduce their price within the next year they will be i nall sorts of trouble. All it takes is one $360 price drop and there is serious trouble. Most games are for both systems. So if the 350 reduces its price you can buy a 360 and a wii (with wii sports)and possibly a 360 game for the price of just the ps3. They really need to try to reduce the price. otheriwse they can be in a lot of trouble. Especially with the stellar line up of the 360 and the ps3 towards the second half of this year

  7. What no real games? on Sony Keynote Offers Hope For PlayStation 3 Fans · · Score: -1, Troll

    IS Sony that worried about Nintendo that they showed everything that will blast away nintendo and nothing that will blast away Microsoft? Did they mention any other real New games? I gather they just dont care about the gaming aspect of their machine. Ok sony fanboy flame away if you must.

  8. People should read the article on Sun May Be Warming Both Earth and Mars · · Score: 0

    You cant go by what this scientist states since the article states that most scientists disagree with him.

  9. This is about pricing on Microsoft Threatened With Fines By EU Again · · Score: 2, Informative

    Before anybody goes nuts read the article. This is about the p[ricing for a liscence microsofts allows third parties to buy that gives them the documents. Microsoft states that it should be based on innovation but the ec states they dont have too much inovation so the ec is stating that the prices are too high. How does the ec know what is innovative or not?

  10. Thats cheap on AMD Demonstrates "Teraflop In a Box" · · Score: 1

    Thats not right AMD is cheating. AMD is also using the Video cards. AMD did not beat Intel. If they are going to go against intel with processing stuff they should do it via CPU's only. IF Intel did the same thing with 2 nvidia cards in sli I bet they could get the same results.

  13. comp usa stunk on CompUSA Closing More Than 50 Percent of Stores · · Score: 0

    The comp usa by me stunk. They sold one sound card and that was the audigy se. Not another single sound card around. They have a stamples in the same shopping center that s4ells the same exact stuff for sometimes $50 or more cheaper. Comp usa had a 50 pack of dvd + r's for $30. The staples had the same exact 50 pack for $15 . I am glad comp usa is going out of busines. Thier prices where so high.

  14. I like the search on Windows Vista - Still Fresh After 19 Months? · · Score: 1

    I like the search isntead of run. I can type in gpedit and press enter and it will run. ON xp if you type in gpedit and press enter you will get an error message. That and the intergrated dvd burning/picture slide show burning./ amd media center burning applications make it so I really dont want to go back to xp.

  15. Re:"how they improve system performance" on Inside the Windows Vista Kernel, Part 2 · · Score: 2

    Dont blame microsoft. You were the one who bought a vista notebook with only 512 ram.

  16. They deemed the evidence legal on Ex-judge Gets 27 Months on Evidence From Hacked PC · · Score: 1

    A judge deemed the evidence legal since the hacker did it on his own then fowarded it to the police. Plus the article mentioned somebody was molested but that got thrown out because it happened too long ago. Plus the judge pleeded guilty

  17. ON places like Long island towers are expensive on Skype Asks FCC to Open Cellular Networks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here on long island land is at a premium. Cell carriers pay A LOT of many to get their towers mup. Their networks should not be opened up because they pay a lot of money for thier towers for things like the land it sits on, the ata conenctions to the towers and the equipment to run them. That would not be right. I know verizon and cingular are huge companies but that does not make this right.

  20. UGH PLEASE READ THE ARTICLE on Sen. Ted Stevens Introduces "Son of DOPA" · · Score: 0

    Please read the article. The library will only need to follow those rules if they get federal funding. A library does not have to get the funding. Here at the huntington Library we dont receive any state or federal funding so we dont have to filter if we dont want

  21. People Dont read on Sen. Ted Stevens Introduces "Son of DOPA" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This wont be mandatory. The article states that only if you get money from the government would you have to do this. Some Libraries (like the one i work for) dont get money from the government or the state government so it wont apply to us. please read the article before going crazy.

    What Library are you with? A couple of Libraries in the suffolk system are testing this. We are testing it here in Huntington. Go and ask . They might show it to you.

  24. Re:Awe, so close on Video on Demand From the Public Library · · Score: 1

    The problem is that tax payer money in that school district is paying for that library. They dont want people who are not hlaf hollow hills school district patrons to use it. Talk to your local Library i am sure they are at least testing it. PS its actually not a bad service if you like older black and white movies, cooking shows, and non hollywood blockbuster movies.

  25. Re:Doesn't this exist already? on Video on Demand From the Public Library · · Score: 3, Informative

    Um this service only has that. The Library i work for gets the latest dvds in before there street date. Any major dvd movie that comes out we order for the patrons. Stop trolling and actually visit the library (Wich you fund with your taxes) you will be suprised.
