  1. Re:im sure someone will fix it on No Full HD Playback for 32-bit Vista · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately it will be a bit harder to do this for the 64 bit Vista. Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the DRM will be hardware based via a trusted computing module build into the CPU itself.

  2. Re:Today's Philosphical question... on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    Bud didn't Nietzsche also subscribe to the theory that the evolution of the universe infinitely repeats itself. So if humanity as a species is doomed, no big deal. We'll have our day again, and be doomed again.

  3. Do we need Soma? on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    Does this mean I don't require my half gram of SOMA?

  4. Re:Shouldn't it read... on Upgrading Wi-Fi — What, When, and Why · · Score: 1

    Piggy Says - I've got the Conch!! It's my turn to speak..

  5. Re:AOL Is On Its Last Leg on AOL Planning Move to Ad-Supported Model · · Score: 2, Insightful

    True. Dialup is far from dead. It'll be here for a long time to come. There are still people who live outside of the areas that dsl/cable can reach, and satellite hookup is too expensive. Some people are just interested in checking forums and reading emails instead of videos and other streaming media. And a dialup connection is still the best way to kick an addiction to pr0n...

  6. Re:I hope this works... on Nintendo's Next-Gen Arsenal · · Score: 1

    "I also remember the thrill that was Duckhunt back in the day--Nintendo gave me my personal first experience of an alternative gaming controller. I really hope that they can make it that...well, awesome for me again. And that I can shoot the damned dog this time."

    Don't forget to mention the Gyro robot machine for 8 Bit NES. Controlling a physical robot to move spinning tops between buttons and watching the resulting action on the screen totally blew me away at the time. (tho I got pretty bored with after about a few hours and just used the second controller directly)

  7. Does anybody Rember V.I.N.CENT? on Possible Hole in Black Holes · · Score: 1

    But that would mean Hans Reinhardt's Cygnus and all his cloning research didn't really happen where it was supposed to... And exactly where did the USS Palomino go at the end of the movie?

  8. Switch sides.. on Shake Hands with the Zero Tension Mouse · · Score: 2, Informative

    If injury is caused due to mouse utilization via the right hand, use the mouse with your left hand for a while. This would give the injury time to heal. This is something I tried a few years back and although there's a bit of a learning curve (I was sloppy and slow at moving the pointer at first) I don't even think about it now. My girlfriend also tried this approach due to tension in her right shoulder.

  9. Am I the only one.. on High-Definition Video Add-on Coming to iPod · · Score: 1

    Who read this title as "High Definition Adds coming to iPod"

  10. Re:Starfox 64 on Can Games Make You Cry? · · Score: 1

    Hehe, When I was a kid, I remember having a NES Advantage controller for the 8 bit Nintendo. Gave it a good punch one day while repeatedly getting slaughtered playing a near impossible part of Karnov (Emulators and state saving has taken care of that now) and busted it. I opened the case and found the PC board inside cracked. It was an awesome joystick with turbo settings and a cool slow motion feature that repeatedly paused and unpaused the game. So I tried unsuccessfully soldering the lines in the cracked area of the board back together. Then I cried. And felt stooopid..

  11. Re:4x4 is an inaccurate name... on Intel Stepping Up to Combat AMD's 4x4 · · Score: 1

    Gee, if I apply a 2x4 vehicle drivetrain (two wheel drive) to the likes of a quad core cpu, it would work out to having two cores working and two cores just there.. Completely different definitions of 4x4 at this point.

    4 Powered Wheels x 4 Wheels is what 4x4 in the automotive world means.

  12. Re:A short-lived driver perhaps on Liquid Cooled X1900 XTX Card Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I totally agree with not mixing ATI and Linux. 2d works great using the generic ATI driver, but when trying to install ATI's binary driver, I was met with brutal failure trying to get dual/triple head display settings to work... NVIDIA. Much better support and ease of installation of the driver.

  13. Re:Welcome to America Junior. on Canadian ISP Shoulder Surfing · · Score: 1

    "The chief difference between Canada and America? At least the Canadians get fair warning."

    Umm, June 15, 2006 is in the past. So much for fair warning..

  14. Re:Man... on String Theory a Disaster for Physics? · · Score: 2, Funny
