Google is planning to roll out a new Operating System dubbed Google Chrome OS. The aim of the project is to develop a Linux-based, lightweight OS that revolves around web based activity and productivity, instead of the traditional desktop environment. Chrome OS will feature the familiar...

Re: New Ps3 bundle-80gb ps3,Metal Gear 4 & Killzone2...standard price $399 @bestbuy o Trust me, having worked there, I know that they try to get you with a catch in many cases. I'm not trying to say this for sure will have one, I just wouldn't be surprised. In all honesty, I was just being...

I wasn't making a comment about their intelligence. I'm saying that they are ignorant in regards to using computers properly, or in an informed way. It has nothing to do with how "smart" they are, and everything to do with the fact that they just don't know/haven't learned how to use a...

Re: New Ps3 bundle-80gb ps3,Metal Gear 4 & Killzone2...standard price $399 @bestbuy o Knowing Best Buy, there's got to be a catch somewhere.

Here's the thing though: unless Sabean wants to break the bank, at least one of Cain and Lincecum are probably not going to get a long term deal (my money is Cain) unless they do something along the lines of trading both Zito and Rowand. And you have to figure that Alderson and Bumgarner...

Agreed wholeheartedly. It's amazing how willing he was to admit his mistakes and address the effects they had.

I think the fact that they get to malware is evidence of their ignorance.

BMI is a ridiculously flawed system. People who don't understand science usually use this system to try to diagnose obesity. Any doctor these days who is worth a damn would use BMI as a first step in testing for obesity related diseases, but nothing more. Hydrostatic fat testing (submerging...

Which CSU? I may be out of the loop, but in California, there are about 10 CSU's I can think of off the top of my head.

Both would certainly be an upgrade over their current situation, but both have defensive liabilities. They'd be wise to look for a more balanced player if you ask me, but if it's strictly offense they're after, those are two targets that can probably be had.

That's a pretty kick ass room.

My problem is the lack of choice, as in, I as a consumer should be able to choose what I want, not have it outlined for me. I see what you mean with the analogy, but here's my take. IE is a bloated, proprietary, non-standard conforming browser. The World Wide Web consortium sets the...

Great! Thank you! :hatsoff:

I've heard some good things, this is another one that I'm going to have to check out coming up soon.

That's a pretty good idea, having some sense of where the enemy is. I'll tell you that's one of the things that frustrates me most about the game on Veteran, is that there are oftentimes so many people firing from all around that you can't tell who is where.

The first two are 360 exclusive, after that Rockstar is free to push it onto the PS3, although at that point they'll probably be moving onto a new game altogether. I wouldn't be surprised to see the next iteration fetch $100 for exclusive rights to the DLC.

That game is going to be awesome, pure and simple.

That series is probably my favorite of all time. Although it's tough for me to choose between that and GTA.

I'd put it between $100-150. I think if you go higher than that, that a Wii looks more attractive, regardless of capability.

I think we're missing some COD :thumbsup:

I was under the impression that the cable carriers never lost access to the feeds they already received, so I would assume it's just a matter of converting and passing it along.

:1orglaugh I must have been ****** when I posted that, because I totally missed what I meant to say. I meant to say that protein isn't even the largest part of semen, but oh well. I'll have to ask my wife about the "lumpy milk" style semen :rofl:

Considering that's about 70-75% of the computing market, a lot of people. Is that from a cold boot, (first time running it after starting the computer), or warm (second time or later)? I'll have to see if I can replicate that, and let you know what I find. Actually, you'd be surprised. The...

Yeah, the Giants need another bat. But unless they want to go with someone overpriced and below league average, they're probably going to have to give up Alderson and potentially more, which Sabean has to date been pretty reluctant to do. In A's news, A's acquire Scott Hairston from the Padres...

I tried joining a couple of days ago, and never received my activation email. Should I just give signup another whirl?

Just an update for the Opera 10 beta. The first time is without the "turbo" mode, the second time with. ESPN.com - 2.021, 1.856 NewEgg.com - 2.791, 2.05 Oaklandathletics.com - 3.925, 3.105 Pretty impressive stuff.

Yeah, pretty much the same here. I don't know if it's on purpose, but I find that their packs are rather eclectic in nature, and oftentimes I'm completely uninterested in at least 2 of the songs in the DLC pack.

You got it my friend! :1orglaugh But that's certainly a good problem to have! :D

Most of the Call of Duty games on Expert are pretty damn tough.

Terrible to hear about, absolutely terrible.

I can only hope this leads to a scandal, and finally getting her the hell out of the public view.

The thing is, all of those codecs will eventually make their way into Firefox, they just couldn't agree at the time of release.

Yeah, I remember that too. I was at Game 3, and Game 4, and remember people ****** on all sides of me when it was all said and done. I was pretty bummed too, for a good six months afterwards.

Probably not until at least Summer of 2010.

I think he just wanted to do something else, as far as I know.

Depends on what you mean. Browsers themselves don't make any money. Open source browsers companies like Mozilla (Firefox) rely on donations to fund development, (although Mozilla is lucky enough to have Google as the major source of their funding). Others are run by private companies that...

Yeah, after the '88 series I went nuts. I was only 12, but I was literally pissed for months afterwards. And yes, that's Big Black in my avatar :D

1989. Sweeping the Giants, simply amazing.

Manny's back :D Oh, and how about them Pirates? :D

Funny thing is, Microsoft has been busted before for the same sort of thing.

I wasn't a fan of the first, but I hope the second one makes me a believer.

Hey, hey! You lay off that Haterade! :1orglaugh

About 60% of people browsing the Internet use IE. But there are two reasons for that: 1. The average user doesn't understand Internet usage enough to choose a browser for their needs and 2. IE ships on all PCs. Firefox doesn't. And for my money, IE has never really been all that great.

If you want technical jargon, it's because it parses information more efficiently. In laymans terms, it's because it interprets the information on webpages much more efficiently. The primary difference in terms of speed between IE and Firefox is in how they deal with standards for writing code...

Played it for the first time a couple of days ago, and it's a bit repetitive, but nonetheless a fun experience.

Not really. I just used it as an example because I know it's multimedia rich. I figured that would be a good way to test the browser speeds for sheer volume of information. Sure, I can do that. I'll try to get that up and running in the next few days if I have time, although the only thing...

These scenes are so over the top it's just comical.

What's funny is I can remember when she started on the show, and all of the guys on the show asked her what her favorite game was, and she said she didn't play games. They asked her what her favorite tech gadget was, and she said she doesn't really use any, not even an iPod. They asked her...

Hmm, that's quite interesting. If I may ask, what sites does the bug effect?

Yeah, it's worth the money, it was a riot.
