  1. Re:Sony mobile phones on XBox Adding HD Tuners Next Year · · Score: 1

    You also forgot to point out that he said that Sony doesn't make regular MP3 players too, making his entire argument invalid. Current generation Walkmans, anyone?

  2. Re:Good intentions on First Details of Windows 7 Emerge · · Score: 1

    Why even upgrade, if they have to use such old software? Surely it won't run much faster on newer machines?

  3. Re:Bill didn't follow standard operating procedure on Bill Gates Denied Visa To Nigeria · · Score: 1

    Using other posts on real bribing as a basis, I'd guess he tried giving them too much and they wouldn't take it!

    Tell that to the RIAA and MPAA.

    But you can also play in offline mode. (And I don't want to hear anything about offline mode not working, I've only had one problem with it in four years)

    Well, if the hard drive was under warranty..!

  7. Re:It's much easier than that on Microsoft Opens Up Windows Live ID · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately going to hotmail.com moves you to login.live.com and then back.

  8. No thanks.. on Google Rolls Out Online Storage Services · · Score: 1

    My online hosting service gives us 300gb of space and 300gb of transfer a month, and we're paying like $7.95/mo. This is for web-hosting, mind you. They provide FTP, WebDAV, and SSH (therefore sftp) so I don't see why, other than assured data redundancy, I wouldn't pay less for more.

  9. More than PVRs on MythTV Scheduling Service Reveals Pricing · · Score: 1

    Now, I use Vista Media Center (I know, I know, and it's not the point of this post) for watching TV on my Hauppage NTSC/ATSC dual-tuner, so I don't have to worry about losing my guide data for that. However, I use Zap2It's data for other purposes. Namely, I have an e-mail bot written so where if you send it a message (in my case, usually a text message) with the channel number and a time, it will tell you which show is on. Some times when I'm out and don't have access to a TV guide (like out at dinner) and I want to know when a show is on, I can guess a few random times. Unfortunately, with the loss of Zap2It's data, XMLTV is rather useless for me and I'll either be unable to use my tool or have to find a new data source.

    Um, I'm pretty sure US Robotics is a real company..

  12. Re:Unlimited data, eh? on Apple and AT&T Announce iPhone Service Plans · · Score: 1

    Skype does exist for the PocketPC, which includes the ARM architecture.

  13. Re:Data corruption on ISPs Inserting Ads Into Your Pages · · Score: 1

    Considering that HTTPS is supposed to be secure at its endpoints, they shouldn't be able to inject anything into the HTML. If they're somehow catching you in the middle, the security certificate wouldn't be the one issued to the bank.

  14. Re:exactly on Nerdy Photo in Vista DVDs Thwarts Disk Pirates · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's funny, the legal copy I got from Microsoft is in a thin jewel case, no box, and is a burned DVD with "Vista Vista RTM x86" written in Sharpie! My valid key is even written in pen on the little paper cutout insert. I think it was downloaded with this cool program called Microsoft File Transfer Manager.

  15. Re:How the mighty have fallen... on RIAA Accused of Extortion & Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    ALT-0233. I know it from writing the word Pokémon so many times, unfortunately.

  16. Re:Why not use IM client that uses data instead? on Texting Teens Generating OMG Phone Bills · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone in their right mind use Verizon in the first place? Yet here we are, one of the largest subscriber networks in the US.

  17. Well.. on A "Bill of Lights" to Restrict LEDs on Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    If there are no LEDs how am I supposed to know it works?

    An accurate title or summary? Where do you think we are, Slashdot?

  19. Re:WoW/WoS? on Blizzard Confirms New Product, May Be Starcraft 2 · · Score: 1

    Well I'm not really a Warcraft fan. I like WoW but I don't find it important enough to pay a monthly fee for (don't want to go into why, I know exactly why they do it) but I think Starcraft is much better.

  20. Re:WoW/WoS? on Blizzard Confirms New Product, May Be Starcraft 2 · · Score: 1

    "World" of Starcraft? Please, Starcraft spans multiple planets. Worlds of Starcraft, maybe, but that interferes with their title for World of Warcraft, so maybe Starcraft Universe or something cool like that.

  23. Re:Not this again. on MS Requiring More Expensive Vista if Running Mac · · Score: 1

    You're right, I believe this is pre-Vista-release old. I was wondering when I read the topic, but I saw 'VM' in the summary and then went 'oh. Knew that.'

  24. Re:Why not just do it yourself? on A Review of the Top Four External Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    It's not a black art, you have to license the SDK from Microsoft to develop filesystems.
