  1. Re:Meh on The Hard Drive Is Inside the Computer · · Score: 1

    "My hard drive is broken, does it need more RAM?"

    Yes. A lot of RAM. And you can never switch your computer off again.

    Gah! You're right. *Whoosh* for me. I knew I shouldn't have even tried participating in this; I start losing track of what's actually right and wrong and make a fool of myself. :P

    Yeah, irregardless of the fact that I should be use to reading this sort of thing by now, it literally made my head explode when I read it.

    There. Fixed that for you.

    Have my use of "irregardless" and my misuse of "literally" become so accepted nowadays that they didn't even raise a blip, while "used to" did?

  7. Re:If you're thinking about the PC version: DRM on Penny Arcade Game Sees Record Breaking Numbers · · Score: 1

    The 3 limit is mentioned in the EULA, section 2. Yeah, I actually read EULAs.

    "Hothead hereby grants, and by using the Program you thereby accept, a limited, non-exclusive license and right to install and/or use the Program on a maximum of 3 personal computers belonging or primarily used by you..."

    But I totally agree with you, in that the form of DRM is so 'light' that I really have no trouble with it.

  8. Re:They didn't expect Wii to be popular on Are Game Publishers Late To the (Wii and DS) Game? · · Score: 1

    Saying that, I have no idea if the Wii development platform is any better.
    Well, apart from the new-fangled controls and little things, I'd expect that developing for the Wii would be easier due to it being more-or-less a glorified version of its predecessor, the Gamecube. Even if a particular developer never worked with the Gamecube, one would assume at least the available tools for developers would be fairly mature. Or something. (c:

    HJLK vs JKL;

    Well, at first I thought this was a bit strange, too, but I've become reasonably comfortable with it now.

    I find that more often than not, when I do need to move around in a file, more often than not I'm moving down, so having my index-finger poised over that key seems fairly sane. Probably next most common movement is up the text file again, so between my index and middle fingers, I've got the primary movements covered fairly easily. :P Further, I'm somewhat uncoordinated with the pinky-fingers on both hands, so it actually feels more convenient for me to reach across to H with my index finger to move left than if I had to use my pinky finger to hit semi-colon to move right.
