Judging from the comments there seems to be a little confusion. This is NOT the remake of Bionic Commando, the remake was released last year: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_Commando:_Rearmed and was great IMHO.

This article is about an sequel to Bionic_Commando; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_Commando_(2009_video_game)

Submission + - Apple iPhone Dissected

Conch writes: Only hours after the launch, the Apple iPhone has been dissected. The good folks at AnandTech violated one of the first iPhones to still our curiosity about whats inside the aluminum shell.
"We have only had the phone for a few hours but we needed to get inside its casing, what follows is our dissection of the Apple iPhone. Please note that we're doing this so you are not tempted to on your recent $500/$600 expenditure, while it is quite possible to take apart using easy to find tools we'd recommend against it as it will undoubtedly void your warranty and will most likely mar up the beautiful gadget's exterior. Do whatever you wish to your iPhone, but do so at your own risk :)"

When I get to the point of actually coding I usually get so focused that I forget to eat.

But before or after coffee is all the nourishment I need.

YouTube Hands Over User Info To Fox 396

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday February 14, 2007 @04:34PM from the their-tube dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Tech Crunch has an article about YouTube identifying and handing over a user's information after a request from Fox. 'Three weeks after receiving a subpoena from the U.S. District Court in Northern California, YouTube has reportedly identified a user accused by 20th Century Fox Television of uploading episodes of the show 24 a week prior to their running on television. That user, named ECOTtotal, is also alleged to have uploaded 12 episodes of The Simpsons, some quite old. Apparently Google and YouTube were willing and able to identify the owner of the username ECOTtotal, according to a report on InternetNews.com.'"

Comment As a Geo owner (Score 1) 504

(Actually my geo died a month ago, so former owner)

More than once I took my Geo on a trip where the headwind was strong enough that I could not reach 70 mph. I still go 40 mpg on that trip, even though I held the pedal to the metal for over an hour. I do not see how an able person can get less than that in a Geo. (Obviously the disabled could, because the disabled need an automatic)
