  1. Re:The power of the dollar on First AACS Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Key Revoked · · Score: 1

    You want us to slashdot the market?

  2. Re:This is how it's done on Vista Protected Processes Bypassed · · Score: 1

    And here everyone is complaining about UAC, while it's the only thing between you and installing that driver.

  3. Re:What's old is new? on Survey Finds Few Intend to Upgrade to Vista · · Score: 1

    I was going to post "Yawn, same thing everyone said when XP came out" but I see you beat me to it!

  4. Re:Kart Racing on Most Impressive Game AI? · · Score: 1

    I hated it too. I always thought it was awfully suspicious when someone else was moving as fast as you were and you were using one of those infinite mushrooms, or a star..

  5. Re:USB Power Strips as notebook power supplies on Why Powered USB Is Going to Fail · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hooking up a DVI cable to a video camera wouldn't be very size efficient. And there'd be no audio transfer, so while HDMI would be better, the Firewire camera protocol isn't just sending video like a monitor does, it's actually sending the raw video (kind of like how HDTV sends MPEG2 over the air) as well as support for bidirectional communication other than video, like playback commands and tape position, for example.

  6. Re:No on Is KDE 4.0 the Holy Grail of Desktops? · · Score: 1

    Best comment in the discussion yet.

  7. Re:Why don't I just buy a 360? on Apple TV Already Being Hacked · · Score: 1

    I'm just asking because I don't own a 360 (yet) and will never own an iPod (Zen FTW) but how does the 360 play back music from the iPod? Does it read files off the HD, can it play DRM'ed music, does it just play back like a speaker attachment, or what?

  8. TV on AppleTV Hits the Streets · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The real question is does it support actual streaming TV? I just bought a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 and use it with Media Center, and planned on getting an Xbox 360 anyway which just so happens to be a Media Center Extender. Does Apple's new little toy stream TV over the network?

  9. Re:On the contrary... on ReactOS Revealed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's a difference between hardware detection and stable installation. Every time I've installed Vista it's gone out without a hitch, the image based installer failing on me less than XP's installer. (On the same note, I think my XP Pro CD is bad.) At least I can just re-burn the copy of Vista I got from Microsoft Connect legally as opposed to violating the law to make a backup of software I own that's labeled 'Do not make copies of this disc' just so I can install it.

  10. Too close for comfort on RIAA Sues Stroke Victim in Michigan · · Score: 3, Funny

    I just saw 'RIAA sues victim in Michigan' and thought crap, they're getting closer!

  11. Re:How Long... on RIAA Sues Stroke Victim in Michigan · · Score: 5, Informative
  12. Re:but iTunes Store sells AAC, not MP3s, right...? on EU Commissioner Slams Music Lock-In · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's called myFairTunes (Google it) and an AAC to MP3 converter.

  13. Creative on Is Vista a Trap? · · Score: 1

    Sucks for him. My internet, both wired and wireless, and both my sound cards worked right away in Vista. Funny thing is, Creative doesn't even have drivers for XP for my sound card anymore.. But Vista has them built right in.

  14. Re:I'm certainly pissed on T-Mobile Bans Others' Apps On Their Phones · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, if you're under contract, you can probably break it with this change.

  15. Validation on Reviewing the Presidential Campaign Websites · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, Mitt Romney's the only one that passes W3C validation, so he gets my vote?

  16. Re:A Way For Closed Source Scripts? on Introduction to Linden Scripting Language · · Score: 1

    Well, Linden Labs is planning on using Mono for LSL, and possibly to provide other languages such as C#..

  17. Re:Isn't that what they want? on DRM Causes Piracy · · Score: 1

    I think the big "It is a federal offense to copy this disk" thing played before the movie is still in effect. On a slightly off-topic note, you can remove that with DVD Shrink..

  18. Sidebar on Windows Vista: the Missing Manual · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The sidebar doesn't save your settings and you have to start over? I've been using Vista since pre-Beta 1 and I've never had to reset my sidebar widgets once.. (though I never really used the Sidebar until RTM, it still kept my zipcode for weather and stuff)

  19. Re:One step at a time... on MIT Scientists Reach Fiber-Optic Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    I read "Death Ray" and thought, great, not another format..

  20. Re:ironic on Microsoft Not Dropping Hotmail Name · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's just all the porn spam you get sent spoofed from hotmail addresses.

  21. Re:Windows installer requires them on Farewell To the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    I love my Gigabyte motherboard and flashing from Windows. My friend had an ASUS motherboard that could load the BIOS from a floppy.. or a CD. Not bad either.

  22. Re:Looks like I'll stay with Tiger then on Apple to Charge for Boot Camp? · · Score: 1

    That's funny, I sure got it for free.

  23. Re:Erm... on Building a Programmer's Rosetta Stone · · Score: 1

    Apple won't have anything on you since it's a name based off of something else.. if anything, the actual company Rosetta Stone would be a problem.

  24. Re:Doesn't Matter on Investigating Online Office Suites · · Score: 1

    I think that'd result in what they call a 'transparent application'.

  25. Re:This one made me cry a little inside on A Tour of the Google Blacklist · · Score: 2, Informative

    I once got mail pointing to a phishing page on a school's website. Never know where those things are going to pop up..
