  1. Re:And what about uTorrent? on BitTorrent Legit Service Launches · · Score: 1

    If anything, don't update uTorrent to the update that would prevent you from doing so. I don't understand how that could be easily done though. There would be ways to get around it unless you had to log in some centralized server and they watched your every torrent download.

    There is your mutually exclusive wishes programmed in a batch file. Where is my top dollar? ;) (I love selective hearing)

  3. Re:View fraud on YouTube To Pay For User-Generated Content · · Score: 1

    Very true Tod. In fact, I think we need to bring out the old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." The same thing happened with Google Adsense. It's only a matter of time before they see that it's already happening with YouTube videos.

  4. Re:User-generated? on YouTube To Pay For User-Generated Content · · Score: 1

    It's quite obvious to distinguish from copyrighted material to web cam material. I also would think Google is smart enough to figure out if content was copyrighted by a person that did not submit the video; they do have one of the best search engines after all.

  5. Re:Technicality on Judge Clears Bully For Publishing · · Score: 1

    Touché. You got me there if you want to use the technical definition of "Virtual Reality." But I'm also sure you have an idea of where I'm coming from, even if I did not word it 100% correctly. Curse that Webster and his definitions *shakes fist*. -_-

  6. I just don't know anymore... on Judge Clears Bully For Publishing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm tired of hearing, "Ban this video game!" "Sue that company." "OMZFG HOT COFFEE?!?!" A video game is a video game. The ESRB does a fairly decent job in giving them good ratings. They have no control over what users can do to alter the game. It's just a simple fact of what the parents allow the children to play. If the children can understand it's just a video game, you can't auto-aim in real life, etc., then I really don't see what the problem is. Maybe I'm just giving common sense the benefit of the doubt, but I think these stories are absolutely ridiculous. Virtual Reality is meant for people to get away from their everyday lives. It's not even in the slightest meant to be a model for real life actions. I guess this topic just grinds my gears.

  7. Re:Not really new news on Wikipedia Goes Mobile · · Score: 1

    I apologize, that's the wiki name of the iPod Linux website. Boy do I feel stupid =X. But I know the module to put wiki entries on the pod has been around for awhile.

    The Wiki addition to iPod Linux (WikiPodLinux I believe it was called) has been around for awhile. At least since I had installed iPod Linux back in March.

    True. I'll give it a full charge tonight and have it run through an entire movie. If it doesn't hold up to anywhere near specs I think I may need to be looking to get my battery replaced. Thank you for pointing that out dal.

  11. The Archos 504 on iPod Killers For the Holidays · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It looks like an amazing product compared to the video ipod of today. The battery life alone is enough to make me want to toss my ipod down the stairs. I wish I had known more about it before purchasing the apple brand. Oh well, I suppose I'll have to deal with my awesome 6 hour battery life for audio and 1.5 hour life for video. At least I have my video ipod running linux? If only that counted for something.

  17. About The Subject On Power on Graphics State of the Union · · Score: 1

    I also agree that the power required for video cards today are quite insane. To run a 7900GT alone requires a minimum of 21A on the 12v rail, and in SLI you'll need at least 28A on the 12v rail minimum (this is just to run the video card without having it auto clock down for lack of power). I currently run one 7900GT and had bought a monster PSU (pcpowercooling) to support the future power needs of these gfx cards. Just to back up the craziness of the matter, whenever I had turned my computer on it would overload my UPS backup unit and trip the circuit breaker in the outlet. So now I have to wire mine on the 1400 model because my old one couldn't handel the wattage. =/. I guess it's a good thing I don't pay the electric bill?

  18. Re:Pointless mission? on Space Shuttle Heading Home · · Score: 1

    Isn't that what the media does for everything now-a-days anyways? I mean look at the whole middle east ordeal. All you hear is death, death, and more death, then a bombing sprinkled in. I know a lot of bad things happen over there, but I'm sure there's other things they can talk about that relate to the topic. I mean I'm all for remembering our fallen for the cause, but like I said, there's more things to discuss. A lot of it has to deal with shock factor now.
