The frustrating thing is that this is the best media player out there, but it's near-impossible for Americans or Canadians to acquire. I really hope more retailers on these shores pick up on these things, because they're definitely worthy of attention. I am pretty much the same way. I...

Thanks a ton for the tips! I admit I have fiddled in the router quite a bit in month's past, so it could be that -something- is preventing the PC from being discovered on the network. I'll reset it in the coming days and see what happens. The thing that frustrates me though, is that my SAMBA...

Photoshop gave me an IQ of 165 once.

I agree with this. It also would have been nice to have an actual break-down of the number of users for each browser that participated in the survey. It's kind of hard to put a ton of faith into a report that, at best, gives us a bar graph to work with.

Are Internet Explorer users less intelligent than everyone else? If a new study conducted by AptiQuant is to be believed, that's just the case. To reach this conclusion, AptiQuant surveyed 100,000 people that were found through advertisements and search engine results, and in addition to...

I'm doubtful that anyone out there needs yet more proof that the biggest companies in the movie industry also happen to be the greediest and most sue-happy, but leave it to 20th Century Fox to give us another source anyway. This one is more interesting than most, though, as the company seems to...

Right on schedule, the KDE development team has launched the eighth major iteration of its Linux desktop environment, dubbed 4.7. With it comes a slew of updates to various KDE applications, increased Plasma Workspaces portability, improved multi-media and IM support, in addition to the closing...

A lot has happened with AC Ryan's Playon! line-up since I took a look at the original mini last fall, with a GUI overhaul being the most noticeable and important change. There are a ton of new Internet features packed in as well, and thanks to the addition of a 1Gbit/s LAN port, your high...

What the... what kind of alpha period is that?

That one went right over my head. :confused:

Whoa it's that time of year again! Time to think about what you accomplished in the last year. That's better done while drunk! :D

They said it would improve your chances, not that it'd be a sure thing. And for those who've registered BC2 with EA, chances are they'd be on the mailing list already (I receive the BF3 newsletter but I've never specifically signed up for it).

Kayden is in the alpha also. There was a rumor that most of the alpha invites went to people over level 30, but from what I can tell, the distribution was just 100% random, based on those who had BC2 tied to their EA account.

*slaps head* I assume it wasn't the blond who installed that, but her mechanic. Hilarious nonetheless.

*sigh* Bentley Azure. Ferrari F430. Aston Martin Rapide. Mercedes S-class. Porsche 911. All together, in a nice fender-bender. At least the paint colors are all dark! http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/28/female-driver-causes-supercar-catastrophe-in-monte-carlo/...

The infrastructure in this case is the OS, nothing more. Amazon developed the app and also the ability to download and read books, not Apple. This infrastructure is no different than a desktop OS. You don't see Apple charging Amazon 30% when people purchase a book through Safari on the desktop...

I was in a similar boat. I considered it more of a donation than anything, just to have them continue producing great titles that actually support all three OSes and are DRM-free. Tried Cogs last night in Linux, ran well and is a fun game so far. I can tell some of the challenges are going to...

While Valve's Steam platform has become famous for offering regular sales of great games at sometimes ridiculous prices, the Humble Bundle, in the sort time it's been around, has been giving both indie games some amazing exposure and gamers a right to choose the price they want to pay. It's not...

If recent arrests prove to be the start of a continuous chain, then members of Operation AntiSec and their respective Anonymous and LulzSec groups, may have reason for concern. Earlier this week, FBI agents in Nevada arrested 20-year-old Mercedes Renee Haefer for her alleged participation in...

Great post, Tango! I don't think there is a single thought there I disagree with. Not to go off-topic, but the subject of stalking is one I think of once in a while, because I happen to know multiple people who have been the subject of it (and I'm not sure if it's relevant, but all of the...
