  1. Re:Why the FBI and NOT the nevada gaming commissio on FBI Examines Second Life Casinos · · Score: 0

    there are other states with river boats casinos but the NGC likely is better at checking those things out then the sates that only have a few riverboats. Also the vegas casinos want to run there own on line casinos in the usa.

    There are also Indian casinos that are in parts of the usa

    Well letting people in the usa get a way with a fixed casino game is ok what if they took your money with there being no way for you to win it back.

    Crossfire will need a new chipset and they should drop the price of the dual dual-core down to fill the gap form the mini to the mac pro or come out with a system that uses a desktop cpu, ram, video card, and HD.

  16. Apple needs a mid-rage head less desktop system on Why Microsoft Should Fear Apple · · Score: 1

    If they really want to tacking over m$ not I-macs with laptop parts and build in screens.
    The mini is too low end for it's price even the apple tv has in own video ram why not the mini, i-mac $999, macbook, or macbook black. The $1500 mac book black should have something better then gma 950.
    Why should you have to pay $2000 + just to get a desktop with real video that does not come with a screen build in or $2000 for a laptop with a real video cards. Dell, hp , gateway and othere have laptops with real videos or video cards that have some of there own ram + they use the rest from the system in the $1000 - $1500 range with higher end video cards / SLI video in the $1500 and up range they also have desktops starting at the same price or lower then the mini with desktop parts and open slots also they are much easer to open and upgrade then the mini is. Apple has no desktop in the $800 - $1500 and up range there $2000+ workstation uses high cost FB-DIMMs.

    M$ likes to reuse old code like how that old printer system form windows 3.1 was used by hackers in xp, 2000, and vista beta.

  18. Re:IE protected mode on Windows Vulnerability in Animated Cursor Handling · · Score: 1

    The flash plugin seems to need Protected mode turned down or off to work so hacking may code it to use plug in to hack into the rest of the system and flash is used so many web sites that people can't do with out it.
