  1. Re:Agreed on Microsoft Unveils New Xbox 360 Wireless Controller · · Score: 1

    Halo: Reach already has controllers. (Amazon) Still the old style.

  2. Re:Bluetooth HID? on Android Fork Brings Froyo To 12 Smartphones · · Score: 1

    That it supports Bluetooth keyboard and mice, more or less.

  3. Re:so... on Prosecutor Loses Case For Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You go for their sources for your real research.

    Which, when using Wikipedia, should be easy, if the article is properly sourced. This isn't always the case, though.

  4. Re:"Safe" on .Net On Android Is Safe, Says Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    What are they moving to, exactly..? I get the feeling you're misreading how Microsoft is moving way from dynamic .NET languages (IronPython, IronRuby) which are a rather separate part of the framework.

  5. Re:News flash on 25% of Worms Spread Via USB · · Score: 1

    Or upgrade to Vista. Vista! Vista (and 7) do not autorun applications by default.

  6. Re:PS -- a little more googling shows... on 25% of Worms Spread Via USB · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To their credit they did fix it in Vista.

  7. Re:Some thoughts... on 25% of Worms Spread Via USB · · Score: 1

    Autorun has been off by default since Vista.

  8. Re:Big surprise on 25% of Worms Spread Via USB · · Score: 2, Informative

    Er. The last version of Windows that "ran everything" was XP. Just because the dialog comes up in Vista or 7 does NOT mean that the actual autorun application is being executed. The dialog you see is for user convenience, and still has a link to the autorun application, but does not do it on it's own anymore. When you plug your iPad in, the "do nothing" is the X button in the corner. Nothing happens besides that dialog coming up. It would be nice if it offered iTunes in the list, though.

  9. Re:I gotta say on First Review of Avatar Special Edition · · Score: 1

    It would never have gotten the budget if it weren't.

  10. Re:Really? on First Review of Avatar Special Edition · · Score: 1

    Oh, come on, you like TF2, but Halo over Half-Life? :(

    (For the record I like all three)

  11. Re:Really? on First Review of Avatar Special Edition · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately(?) Avatar Special Edition isn't to Avatar what Advent Children is to Spirits Within.

  12. Re:i guess apple hasn't learned from MS and IBM on Apple Patent Points To iMac Touch Running OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    You didn't know? You put the half-inch of duct tape on the install DVD, therefore preventing you from getting to most of Vista's problems!

  13. Re:...but can it run Quake 3? on Open-Source 2D, 3D Drivers For ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series · · Score: 1

    They stopped doing the vender-built drivers a few years ago. Now laptop graphics (both ATI and nVidia) have generic installs for all their laptop chipsets.

  14. Re:What about Sprint? on The Many Faces of 3G · · Score: 2, Insightful

    (Sprint is WiMax)

  15. Re:This will not stop best buy from have monster s on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 1

    Monoprice. There is little reason to buy cables anywhere else.

  16. Re:Yes and no on Is RFID Really That Scary? · · Score: 1

    Bah. Left cheek, right cheek!

  17. Re:Good grief! on Australia Considering iPhone App Censorship · · Score: 1

    You had to spend more than that buying a single machine to develop on for the iPhone.

  18. Re:inflaton? on Inflaton, Mother of the Universe · · Score: 1

    Or, you know there's a bill in your wallet, but you won't know if it's a $20 or a $5 until you look at it.

  19. Re:Author is a moron on Six Reasons Why Flash Isn't Going Away · · Score: 1

    If this were true, there would have been none of this crying over h264 needing to be licensed in the US as the reason for Firefox not supporting it. Now WHY they don't depend on the native media layer is beyond me, though.

  20. Re:Android + Flash on Six Reasons Why Flash Isn't Going Away · · Score: 1

    So, go into the browser settings and set it so plugins don't start till they're tapped?

  21. Re:It would be nice.. on Ray Kurzweil Does Not Understand the Brain · · Score: 1

    And nothing of value was lost.

  22. Re:Paging Dr. IPv6 on Five Billionth Device About To Plug Into Internet · · Score: 1

    That's cute! You think the internet runs on Windows.

  23. Re:Owner of that device wins a big reward on Five Billionth Device About To Plug Into Internet · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think you meant 'que?'

  24. Re:Already have Sirius, kthxbye on NAB, RIAA May Seek Mandate For FM Radios In Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Well, that, and the Droid (as well as plenty of other smartphones) already have an FM receiver, it's just not supported in software. The Droid's is a TI WL1271 that supports both receive and transmit.

  25. Re:The danger of too many password requirements on 75% Use Same Password For Social Media & Email · · Score: 1

    Enforcing that requires a system to store your last 10 passwords in cleartext.

    What? No it doesn't, you can still keep the hashed passwords and verify against that.
