  1. Re:I'll tell you why... on Everything Old is Old Again · · Score: 1

    I hear them on the radio all the time. I just don't find most new bands these days original enough to be worth remembering.

  2. Re:Very useful... on The Day Against DRM · · Score: 1

    How exactly do they fund all this stuff? It can't be coming from hosting fees alone.

  3. Re:I'll tell you why... on Everything Old is Old Again · · Score: 1

    I couldn't name one either, and Pac-Man's older than I am. Maybe those bands just suck.

  4. Re:Nearly installed Opera last night... PHEW on Firefox Zero-Day Code Execution Hoax? · · Score: 1

    It still uses a fake UA in version 9? How do they expect anyone to take them seriously?

  5. Re:NoScript on Firefox Zero-Day Code Execution Hoax? · · Score: 1

    NoScript is a feature Firefox should have had from day one, and IE has had for over 10 years.

  6. Re:Fantastic. on Epic's Rein and the Unreal Engine's Long Arms · · Score: 1

    Source, UE and Doom3.

    Can you spot the odd one out?

  7. Re:NAT is the IPv4 version of segmented memory on IPv6 Essentials · · Score: 1

    I don't get it.

    He dismisses a response about IPv6 having built-in DHCP as irrelevant, then immediately after writes 10 paragraphs bitching about manually configuring addresses.

    This guy sounds like another RMS.

  8. Re:Awful Name Contest on PS3 Controller Officially Called 'Sixaxis' · · Score: 1

    I think Microsoft won this particular contest 5 years ago.

  9. Re:Sony may be dipshits... on PS3 Controller Officially Called 'Sixaxis' · · Score: 1

    I thought the GP post sounded odd at first (who'd buy a controller with nothing to use it with?)...

    So if these are USB and the wireless function is bluetooth, could these possibly be hacked to work as BT access points?

  10. Re:Only X1900s? on Folding@Home Releases GPU Client · · Score: 1

    I knew someone'd say that.

    It's got a broken CRTC, no red channel in the output plus the image is smeared. If it worked (without causing blinding headaches after 5 minutes) I wouldn't be using this MX400 :)

  11. Only X1900s? on Folding@Home Releases GPU Client · · Score: 1

    Damn, and I've got a 9600XT just sitting on a shelf.

  12. Re:Wouldn't this be folding at single precision on on Folding@Home Releases GPU Client · · Score: 1

    I think newer cards with HDR and stuff like that can handle a bit more than 32-bit floats.

  13. Re:Videos? on Invisible Unmanned Aircraft · · Score: 4, Funny

    At this point in time I'd say it's the videos themselves.

  14. Re:Power generation on Two Tiny Gas Turbines · · Score: 1

    Instead of going to crazy engineering lengths to generate AC directly, you could just stick a DC-AC converter on the end.

  15. "Realistic tapping sounds"? on The I-Tech Virtual Laser Keyboard · · Score: 0, Troll

    Great, another "feature" I'll have to endure in addition to all the other obnoxious noises idiots have on their phones.

  16. Re:"Couldn't these catch fire?" on Beautiful Wooden PC Cases · · Score: 3, Funny

    I hope their webserver isn't in one of these...

  17. Re:"For the greater good of the Internet" ??? on Hackers claim zero-day flaw in Firefox · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Most black-hats have that scientology mindset. They really do believe their own bullshit, no matter how insane it sounds to real people.

  18. Re:Interesting Spin on Hackers claim zero-day flaw in Firefox · · Score: 1

    Wow... that's the first time I've seen a comment duped in the same article!

  19. Re:what kind of jerk are you on The GIF Format is Finally Patent-Free · · Score: 1

    I think it's for the same reason they left HTML, CSS and Javascript support similarly crippled, while providing perfect VBscript and ActiveX support.

  20. Summary for the lazy: on Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Quad-Core Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    No surprises, about 80% more speed for multithreaded programs.

  21. "only available via Microsoft products" on BBC Signs 'Memo of Understanding' With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Unless you want to infect your system with realplayer, it already is. I think you still need windows DLLs to listen to their internet radio on linux. So much for "public service".

  22. Re:Another one already? on Intel Previews Potential Replacement for Flash Memory · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually I thought the same thing at first until I read TFA. This one uses resistor heat (retarded idea in a PC, IMO) and that one uses magnetism.

  23. Re:Similar to CD-RW? on Intel Previews Potential Replacement for Flash Memory · · Score: 1

    That's because microchips don't double as centrifuges.

  24. Another one already? on Intel Previews Potential Replacement for Flash Memory · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So is this better or worse than that other "flash replacement" memory we heard about on /. the other week? You know, the one that's supposedly got the best parts of DRAM, hard disks and flash all in one?

  25. Re:Can't wait for this to be verbed on Zune — $249.99 On Nov. 14 · · Score: 1

    Finally! A catchy name to use instead of the 100-odd boring expansions of "DRM". It's catchier than saying "get fucked" too.
