    Netflix: Americans Are Somewhat Self-Absorbed

    He's right. I fucking hate American news, too.

    Interpol Worried About Spike in Extremist Websites

    This doesn't actually happen quite as often as you might think. And there are actually 16 US intelligence agencies.

    Interpol Worried About Spike in Extremist Websites

    Moreover, and in a similar fashion, I think that the saturation of internet access across the world in the last 12 years has opened the communications avenue to people who would had such sites in the past but were unable to.

    Interpol Worried About Spike in Extremist Websites

    I think it's funny that 1998 is used at a reference point. Like anything on the internet in 1998 is comparable to today.

    Funny Craigslist Ad

    I don't get the iPhone hate. I hate apple probably more than the next guy but a good product is a good product. Most of you have probably just never used one.

    Consumer Reports on the iPhone Signal Debate

    Whether it's visible or not depends on your current signal strength. The "death grip" causes a 20dB drop. I've never been able to do it but my friend did once. I don't think it really had any effect or not.

    Holy crap, it worked! Dead video card, resurrected!

    Just thought I'd post saying I tried this trick again on the same card (8800GTX). And it worked! I tried it the first time last August and a few days ago I began getting artifacts so I figured I'd give it a shot... beautiful!

    Holy crap, it worked! Dead video card, resurrected!

    CONFIRMED 10min @ 400f My MSI 8800GTX was causing hard freezes and artifacts (not heat-related). I was ready to buy a new card but figured I'd try this for the hell of it. I've only played a few hours of Americas Army and Fallout 3 but so far so good (before it could only play a game for a...

    Web 2.0 Crowned One Millionth English Word

    It's fucking stupid. Web 2.0 is a concept, not a word. Who are these guys?

    Country Bans YouTube, Facebook In Public Offices

    I also work for a US agency and we have many sites that are blocked. It's not too bad now but initially they blocked all message boards. Obviously this didn't go over well and it did inhibit my ability to solve problems (IT) so they repealed that part. I think maybe some day YouTube will be...

    Mouse Modded Into a Grenade

    Vaguely related: what country/ies still use this type of grenade? I get that it's iconic but I dont know of anyone who still uses this type.

    Web-Based Malware Puts Corporations at Risk

    GTA IV PC Recommended Specs Posted

    This is actually one of the fastest ports for them isn't it? And GTAIV on any console looked like ass.

    Microsoft Announces The Arc Mouse

    Microsoft went through all the money and trouble for exactly that group. Go to BB and look at all the laptop mice. Just last week I was asked to buy more portable (small) wireless mice for my office, which has close to 50 heavy laptop users. This "niche" group is actually quite large and you're...

    GTX 280 vs. GTX 260 vs. 8800 GTX review

    This is exactly why I'm looking up cards at the moment. Keeping the visuals up I'm having to run in 1280x720. I can't believe Clear Sky is so graphics-intensive. I have an 8800GTX and was wanting to get something that could do the job without costing $500.

    Infineon Chip Behind iPhone Problems

    3g coverage in my area is a little weak but otherwise my iphone is fine. Maybe I'll run into it later, too. I did a speed test recently and i was getting ~750kbps, which isn't horrible.

    iPhone 3G to Get Notes

    We use Lotus at work and I hate it terribly... I work for the government, though, and we can't use iPhones because Apple is retarded and thinks four numbers is complex enough for a password. Maybe this Lotus software will allow password locking on the app itself. Having a Blackberry for work and...

    FCC Votes 3-2 to Force Comcast to Open Internet Access

    I think it's funny that some of you are calling the two opposed votes "communists" when clearly they're pro-business all the way, which is the opposite of a communist. Moreover they're Republicans who typically use the word "socialist" to try to undermine various Democratic opposition.

    Deep Packet Inspection and Your Privacy Online

    The government has a lot of shady programs, but there are lot's of things that we're capable of that we do actually restrict ourselves on. One example: in the Army there's a particular piece of classified hardware that can basically pull any signal from the air within a certain radius, but when...

    Spending More For The Same Security

    We're being put behind some MAJOR security right now. Its a gigantic pain in the ass. I'm sure millions were spent researching it, millions implementing it, then when it kept us from doing what we needed to do we lost hundreds of thousands, then even more rolling it back. Ad infinitum. I wonder...

    Microsoft Pledges Windows XP Support Through 2014

    I also prefer Vista over XP, but my computer isn't a piece of crap as what must be the case for the people who complain about it being slow. Also MS has always said they were going to support XP for a number of years from now. They won't be selling it through that time, though. This is not news!

    Lawmakers Say Capitol Computers Hacked by Chinese

    I've been using different versions of Dell's 24" LCD for a while, so I'm familiar with the pros and cons of some of the competition. My primary uses for my monitor are PC gaming, TV, internet browsing, and I use it for my XBOX 360 as well. My review would not involve technical tests of color...

    GTA IV Sales Set World Record

    ^ I'd just go ahead and assume since it set the world record for 24hr sales it's at least not boring, but hey, whats $310 million in a day, right? It probably sucks.

    Nvidia’s Roy Taylor Smacks AMD/ATI

    He's pretty much right. If you want performance you want Nvidia. AMD just isnt a competitor on the high end and theres no debate about that. As someone said, the 8800 has been out for over a year and AMD hasn't been able to touch it. I'd probably talk a lot of shit, too... And it's going to...

    Steal That Style: Niko Bellic

    I'm wearing that white biker jacket with the stone washed jeans and white sneakers with red accents. And sunglasses. They're imperative. Speaking of which, has anyone found sunglasses that are better than the $12 ones in the first store?

    Gates Says Big Changes Coming For Internet

    ^ exactly. It won't be so bad, really. Piracy will take on different characteristics, too, I imagine (it certainly won't go away). I think it's kind of funny that we worked so hard to decentralize computing in the 90s and now we're returning to something similar (although MUCH better).
