  1. Re:NOT PIRACY on Sony Joins the Offensive Against Pre-Owned Games · · Score: 0

    it is the first "cooperative player with a history when playing both of them" I have been able to play (since I played Army of Two for PS3!).

    First self coop game? In this game you have 10 cursors to get though the level and collect as many pyramids as you can. (I also don't claim this to be the first though.)

  2. Re:Trade with other players? on New WoW Patch Brings Cross-Server Instances · · Score: 0

    Is it possible to trade with players from other realms via this cross-realm instances? Possibly players could even schedule a meeting in the lesser frequented instances.

    Outside of conjured? No.

    Only conjured items and loot dropped in a dungeon for which other party members are eligible can be traded between players from different realms.

  3. Gamer's Financial Loss on Visually Impaired Gamer Sues Sony · · Score: 0

    Beyond the denial of entertainment, the suit also contends that Sony's actions have caused visually impaired gamers a financial loss. Because Sony runs an official auction site where gamers can sell their in-game items for real money, the suit says Stern's inability to participate in that marketplace is costing him money.

    Is the auction system flash based? How is this different from eBay or Amazon?

  4. Re:If I just happen to have 4 people over? on New Super Mario Bros. Wii Attempts To Bridge Casual/Hardcore Divide · · Score: 0

    Wrong question. This is Slashdot.

  8. Re:In Ancient Times on Google's Information On DMCA Takedown Abuse · · Score: 0

    There was a time when music was sold as sheet music. Somehow Joplin was making a $100,000 a week in the 1920's, even though it's fairly trivial to simply hand-copy someone-else's work.

    Everything changed when it became possible to make a profit by making a single illegal copy of something.

    Assuming it takes 30 minutes for one person to hand-copy a single copy of sheet music, and they worked around the clock, that's 336 copies a week, or $297.62 a copy.

    If that single copy isn't profitable, then I'm doing something wrong.

  9. Re:Did His Contract Specify "Internal Waters"? on How To Rack Up $28,000 In Roaming Without Leaving the US · · Score: 0

    He might have left the soil (the story says he was already aboard the ship), but shouldn't the dock count?

    Which means it is likely he was in internal waters (description here) [...]

    RTFL you provided in your own post. 200 nautical miles off of a national border is international waters. A docked boat isn't in international waters.

  10. Re:Obviously.... on MS Confirms Six Different Versions of Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    The selling point for all the versions would be the same, "Buy me, buy me, I'm not Vista."

    What's wrong with this though? It's standard practice that when companies release a new version, they tell you how much better it is than the previous version.

    Most companies don't say "I'm not as sucky as the last version." They say "Remember how good the last version was?"

  11. Fox News on Legal Trouble For MMOs In Australia · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's not like 97% of American teens play computer games or over 50% of American adults

    I'm all for the argument being pro gamers, but your talking about Fox News here...

  13. Re:Mass mailing on Student Faces Suspension For Spamming Profs · · Score: 1

    The only job of student government in any university is to plan parties. Good for her for trying to do more.

    Why is this modded +5 Funny? Its true where I went to college. A student worker there quit his job because of the hassle the administration gave him for going above and beyond.

  14. Re:27 Megapixel ? on Very Large Telescope Captures New 27-Megapixel Deep Field · · Score: 1

    27 megapixels is almost consumer grade today. Why so low?

    They knew we would Slashdot 270 megapixels into oblivion.

  15. Re:How much area does this cover? on Very Large Telescope Captures New 27-Megapixel Deep Field · · Score: 1

    If my Sunday afternoon trigonometry is correct, that's equivalent to a 3mm square held at arm's length (~70cm). Under half the diameter of the full moon. Hope that helps to put it into context - it's a tiny area of the sky.

    I don't know about you, but if I held 3 mm up at arms length, it isn't going to come close to covering the moon. Perhaps you meant 3 cm.

  16. "All Clear" on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    We're getting news reports now that the political war grounds are dying out, and the "All Clear" signal has been givin. Apparently in the early morning hours of November 4, a treaty was being signed to cease propaganda as of the fifth. Leaks of the treaty lasting three years have been confirmed. It isn't entirely known yet if General Palin will honor the treaty.

    Remember, remember the Fifth of November.

  17. Re:No secret ballot? on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    Then why do they need to record the number the machine assigned to my vote?

    If there is a number of errors that occur to a number of people, they want to know which machine it happened on.
