"Purely single player games will get pirated."

cr0ft commented on GPS On the iPhone 2: Do Not Want

"Ridiculous article."

cr0ft commented on HTC Diamond Has Ultra-High Density Display

"With a 900mah battery this thing will be a brick after 15 minutes worth of wifi, gps and full screen brightness. It's a massive shame that they crippled it by giving it a ludicrously low battery capacity, that alone may be bad enough for me to stay away. Though frankly I'm more interested in its sister model, the one with the slide out keyboard, anyway."

cr0ft commented on HTC Diamond Has Ultra-High Density Display

"It has great specs in every way, except with a 900mah battery it will be a brick 15 minutes after you fire up wifi, gps and full screen brightness. Darn shame that they crippled it with that battery size after getting so many things right."

"Well you can hardly compare the cheap slow flash that is in a really cheap slow mini-laptop with actual speedy optimized SSD drives."

cr0ft commented on Husqvarna's Autonomous Solar Powered Lawnmower: Never Mow Again

"These things most likely have alarms on them, stop working when you carry them off, and have encryption-based ties to its base station - ie won't work to run without it. If I had a lawn worth the name I'd be getting one of these."

cr0ft commented on Clean Out Old Startup Entries with MSConfig Cleanup

"Or you can get the Sysinternals Suite of great tools and get Autoruns, which is much more powerful but no harder to use. [technet.microsoft.com] Oh and incidentally there are fantastic replacements for the task manager, tools to see what is going on on the network and many other great tools."

cr0ft commented on Leaked RIAA Training Video: Find Pirates, Find Crack-Dealing Terrorist Murderers Too!

"Making counterfeit goods and selling them without paying the creators of the originals is something I for one am completely against, and if that is all that the RIAA, MPAA and all the other gung-ho nutcase organisations were fighting I'd be there cheering them on."

cr0ft commented on Ever Paid for Commercial Data Recovery?

"For those of you still waiting for the cost of data recovery coming down - wake up and smell the coffee and choose to either forget the data or if you need it recover it now. First of all, magnetic media deteriorates as it ages, so if it wasn't bad to begin with, it's probably getting there now. Secondly, the cost of data recovery is high because of work cost and the cost of maintaking expensive things like clean rooms."

"3000 dead New Yorkers dead is really nothing but a pinprick if you extract he emotional hyperbole and overblown American national pride."

cr0ft commented on Ever Paid for Commercial Data Recovery?

"Personally I think there are just a few options when a drive goes bad."

cr0ft commented on Mimic Vista's File Rename Feature in XP

"This is a very minor thing but it is in xplorer2 - and xplorer2 is worth its price many times over for a multitude of reasons including this one. Or else just go to Zabkat.com and grab the free version, even that is a huge productivity enhancer when moving and renaming or indeed any file management work."

cr0ft commented on Nokia's Touch UI Hands-On: Officially Way Behind Apple

"When it comes to actual phone functionality Nokia still beats the iPhone handily with their normal non-touch Symbian handsets."

cr0ft commented on Why You Should Read Ebooks

"The people who complain and claim e-books don't work are people who have never had a nice experience reading them."

"Azureus is still a really great torrent client."

cr0ft commented on Voice Dial iPhone Voice Dialing App Costs Money, But Works Well

"So lame to have to record the voices for people, that alone makes this a feature not likely to be used and maintained. My cheap Nokia E50 does voice recognition of the actual phonebook entry and does very very reliable voice dialing with absolutely no training."

"Hey, if getting herself new boobs makes her feel better then it's already worth it."
