  1. Re:Three options on How To Keep Rats From Eating My Cables? · · Score: 1

    You know as pet owner, rat owner.. I know rats as pets are great. But would never cuddle a wild rat!

    You won't find many rat owners to disagree with the fact that yes their wild cousins are a plague and a pest. They are really successfull and..destructive.

    Hell even as pet they are destructive..oh well.

    I would say use steelwoll, yup already mentioned but if I noticed anything is that they don't like things that prick in their noses. Sensitive creatures

  2. Re:A big "duh" to the auto industry on The SUV Is Dethroned · · Score: 1

    Well yeah I just read somewhere that GM is pumping money into their V6 factories because V8's might go out. Don't get me wrong but you might have noticed that those Japanese models mostly are having 3 or 4 Cylinders. Actually a 3 Cylinder might get you around pretty well, if not a bit on the whiny side motor sound being! A 4 Cylinder pretty much takes the cake! Of course America is different then Europe so there is space for improvements to make the cars more American ready. With that I mean that in Europe we take much more turns! That and in America it is more usual that shopping is done in larger amounts but less times a week!

    Combined with the fact that many life in suburbs and for shopping have to drive quite a bit away. The slightly larger European cars will do just fine in America! So prepare to see allot of Four Cylinder cars!

    America has allot of work ahead!

    Well if that coincides with this Vogon Poetry Contest I got invited to, you know you may go in my place!

  4. Re:Memories on Obituary For the Sony Trinitron · · Score: 1

    Trinitron is good stuff, it might not be 100Hz but it does makes 50Hz allot more enjoyable! Buying a television isn't easy after all and having a good brand and technology behind it is always good news!

  5. Re:Great ideas but late to the party on Sneak Peek at Windows Server 2008 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah I mean geeh how renewing the idea of a small core and running different layers of applications on it. Anyhow atleast for Microsoft it is a huge move that somehow they we're able to cut allot of slack and somehow did go modular.

    To little to late? Very Probable!

  6. Re:I think I speak for everyone... on DivX Pulls Plug on Stage6 · · Score: 1

    It looked much better I gotta agree I mean 960x540 for in game footage at good compression but damned you required quite a pc because it required quite a bit of your processor to run. That was its downside really, the fact that the pc it runs on needs to be up to snuff else it drops frames!

  7. Re:PhysX on All GeForce 8 Graphics Cards to Gain PhysX Support · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They are not as they did put in the market a product that has a place. Okay they did fail to sell succesfull a product but the first graphic accelerators we'rent the most lucky either! What matters is that the idea sticks and that now we might see Physics being offloaded more. So it has a place but the one putting it first on the market well, they didn't fare well!

  8. 64=8x8 on Bobby Fischer Is Dead At 64 · · Score: 1

    64 is 8 times 8 the tiles of the chess plate. Doesn't means much still a nice co-incidence!

  9. A writer needs clear space on Goodbye Cruel Word · · Score: 1

    In a writers head it is like a storm of words and they mere seek a simple white area to find a new home. In many modern editors though it is like having 4 helpers sitting next to you, 2 advisors and 2 stylists! And an archevist! That doesnt works for a writer who merely wants to dump the words on the pages, formatting is an issue later right now there are words and meanings to put down.

    And that is ammis indeed, my best writing experience isn't open office nor word. It is Wordperfect 5.1 (for windows even), so simple that you have all the rest you need to just get down what you we're planning to write!

  10. Don't follow them on Do Tiny URL Services Weaken Net Architecture? · · Score: 1

    Actually I don't click those "tiny" links. I mean you don't know where you are going and who knows if it is one of those worthless "get a free ps3" referal systems! I mean I just don't give others the chance to get points!

  11. Re:From Illfated to Goodfated on The PSP's Comeback Trail · · Score: 1

    Gameplay is important yes, for m 70% important! I can forgive a bad looking game for playing great. I can't do the other way! But sometimes you want some nice graphics, I mean lego starwars on the PSP looks just great, tekken 5 great game to!

    Yeah the downside is a lower battery life then again it is made for transits, based upon that you can recharge it as work, at home, at your friends house..that is how it goes! It sucks as mp3 player as obviously it just used to much juice compared to an ipod. But for games I kinda like the PSP!

  12. savegames on The Value of Your Saved Game · · Score: 1

    having never ended any game I got a slouch of savegames so yeah in a way they are important to me. Until of course I talk about 2 year old savegames I dont even remember anymore. I mean if I don't feel still connected to the character in that safegame I might just erase them!

    To bad I got a habit of not ending my games but yeah I stopped playing games on the pc so! Console all the way now! Some old games like VtM: Bloodlines draw me though, the character development. Ah I am going so damned offtopic!

    You mean the HD-DVD bearing, 1080p, 1Gbyte memory, 120Gb hard disk bearing one. Yeah..how long...

  14. Re:PS2 vs Xbox on Microsoft Wants 360 To Have PS2-Like Lifespan · · Score: 1

    Well yeah though now it seems games can use texture streaming so obviously the trouble was that the game dev kits we'rent "up to snuff" yet!

  15. From Illfated to Goodfated on The PSP's Comeback Trail · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yeah the PSP though having the best graphics around was illfated so far. Though with the playstation 3 connection it finally get its due. I mean on what other system can you take Grand Theft Auto with you! It is a very grown up Portable in that term. Many games are quite grown up and well the DS doesn't always has the games that I like.

    I bought the PSP when the PS3 got into my grasp. Both just seem perfect together as sadly both aren't as fast going forward. There are quality in both that need time to work out! But when good stuff comes out on it it is heavenly good!

  16. Re:Get off my lawn on Excuse Me, Your Cut Scene is In My Game · · Score: 1

    Yeah well, it isn't fair to judge a game without playing it..or trying to play it! There are many games I dont like the vibe from, ya know you play 15 minutes..you read up on it and you think "Blah!". Still I don't judge them!

    Hate it or love it, FF does it is supposed to do Entertain!

  18. Re:Get off my lawn on Excuse Me, Your Cut Scene is In My Game · · Score: 1

    Yup in Final Fantasy they are a needed "evil". I mean yeah sometimes you would just desire you could rush through but ah, you would miss important information and of course the reason to hate of love a character. Ever since FF VII we got may cut scenes that are important! Sure you might feel cheated out of the game decides you have to go to jail but hey it is all in the name of the story. Without such fixed plot twists you probably wouldn't even know why you are fighting. And you wouldn't get the feelings needed to really dislike the bad guys and to care for your characters!

  19. Re:Did I miss something? on Why Card Copying May Not Ruin Eye of Judgment · · Score: 1

    Pretty much drains the fun out of it doesn't it! And I stopped M:TG 2-4 years ago and the cards nowadays are even at common level overpowering some of the more uncommon cards of the old. I mean old cards are just..flushed out!

    Maybe, I still question one thing though.

    Why in nintendo's sake are you a number and does sony and microsoft atleast gives you a nick.

    I mean you are 07274-34837-2772-31 right? Right?

    Hello! I can't remember that or if I see that "nick' come by remember who you we're. Atleast when you are on a sony or microsoft network you have a name!

  22. Re:I agree... on Will Wright Opines That Wii Is the Only Next-Gen Console · · Score: 1

    The wii definitly has something to offer

    But there are gamers that see dust on there wii's. Because the type of games they like are not on it or not coming out fast enough to feed their hunger! And the rehashing of old titles is great if you don't own them already. But new games would be fun to!

    Raving Rabbids THAT was a new game! Hate it or love it that was a new game!
    But the wario and mario games that come out are not always..."fresh"

    Sega had already been through a few true console flogs. Things didn't all just work out for them! The Sega CD extension definitely didn't do much good and well the 32x extension! Lets not go there!

    Bad choices, a market that was going faster then sega could run with and money troubles. Done with! Now they are a software company which isn't that huge but has a few reasonable franchises left. Yeah lets forget about sonic to!

  25. Re:Lack of PS3 titles are the only thing I regret on PS3's Back-Compat Loss Explained, Analyzed · · Score: 1

    The EU will be first hit with the castrated PS3, as a 23feb PS3 buyer from europe I do definitely enjoy upscaled PS2 games. Sure it isn't as beautiful but if you got HD output..its better then nothing!

    Sony is acting weird here, I mean I already have to run the EE by software..no troubles there but the GS chip is the sole reason left I can enjoy Final Fantasy X and XII and the other great titles like GT4. The PS2 could play PS1 games and even though many PS1 games we're utterly ugly it still allowed you to play final fantasy VII and VIII! Which we're pretty big titles in their own right!

    The whole idea is with when I buy a console that it is able to play the older versions to. And Sony is really action stupid here even if it makes the PS3 cheaper it does takes out the balls out of the the playstation 3.
