  1. Re:I recommend this company on Which Vendors Do You Trust For PC Parts? · · Score: 2, Funny

    And definitely accessible to an English speaker in Tennesee. Definitely.

  2. Re:Sensitive data over HTTP? Four words on CIA, FBI Push Social Networking for Spies · · Score: 2, Informative

    Most government networks require employees to use encrypted VPNs. This includes government agencies that do work that is not confidential, e.g. the NIH. So the FBI and CIA most definitely use secure connections if not private connections for everything.

  3. Re:Propaganda on Google Chrome, the Google Browser · · Score: 1

    Marketing = Propaganda.

  4. Re:Sure shes pretty and all but.... on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    But now all the idiots who were going to vote for McCain because Obama is black will now be turned away by the prospect of having a female VP...

    I bet the Green Party will suddenly see a vast increase in votes!

  5. Re:Physics is Phun on Examining Portal's Teleportation Code · · Score: 1

    As opposed to this badly made 3D Blitz Basic version of Narbacular Drop.

  6. Re:geh on East Coast Broadband Fastest In USA · · Score: 1

    New Jersey only has fast broadband because Level3 loves the state.

  7. Re:Use only legal permutations! on Solving Sudoku With dpkg · · Score: 1

    Swapping rows or columns and rotating the puzzle both keep it valid.

    char*s

  9. Re:I use the tools... on Game Developer's Response To Pirates · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You use backups of the floppies, mounted virtually or burned onto an alternate medium.

  10. Re:Sure, and then.... on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 1

    Human in the lead?!

  11. Re:Euro/Japan envy is getting stupid on US Broadband Won't Catch Up With Japan's For 101 Years · · Score: 1

    The thing is, Fios and other fiber connections are reaaally expensive compared to connections in Europe/Japan. They get 100Mbit for like $40/mo there.

  12. Re:Its Blizzard on Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel · · Score: 0, Troll

    Seriously; what's wrong with having some atmosphere? Ridiculous colors get in the way of the gloomy atmosphere, and comparison shots like these show it better than just about anything else: it makes everything look cartoony. WoW-style coloration makes games look stupid.

  13. Re:Impossible? That's laying it on a bit thick. on Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel · · Score: 1

    It is, however, simple enough to make it so that blue light doesn't come up from the bottom of the bridge for some reason.

  14. Re:Hey emo kids, try this!! on Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel · · Score: 1

    Err, my complaint was more that you can see behind objects that you shouldn't be able too. Like those trees...

  15. Re:Its Blizzard on Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Except they could easily make the game look more like what people wanted it to look like by reducing the lighting and desaturating the textures a bit, it wouldn't require more polygons or processing power. The whole thing about shadows is the only thing that they couldn't really do without much higher system requirements.

  16. Re:Its Blizzard on Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel · · Score: 1

    You can see in the fan made shots, you just need to not be viewing thumbnails...

  17. bgy on Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel · · Score: 5, Informative

    What I don't like is the excessive amount of blue, green, and yellow on what should be plain stone tiles.

  18. Re:Free Software is Communism on How To Fix the Poor Usability of Free Software · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Stop arguing with yourself, Anonymous Coward!

  19. Re:Sounds like a good bill on Senate Passes Bill Targeting College Piracy · · Score: 1

    Limit bandwidth for any given connection to about the speed of a US cable carrier- 4000kbit down, 500kbit up. Then your network won't be swamped and people using P2P legitimately can still download, though only at the same speeds they would get at home.

  20. Re:YouTube on Ogg Theora In Firefox, With Wikimedia Support · · Score: 1

    It's only on a few videos. Try looking at some of the videos released by companies.
    No, Adblock doesn't block them.

  21. Re:Remember BnetD on BlizzCon 2008 to be Televised · · Score: 1

    The fact that you have had hundreds of diablo 2 characters to be deleted is quite scary.

    No it was actually the fact that something was using 2GB of swap.
