  1. Re:In Defence of Sony... on Sony Makes It Hard To Develop For the PS3 On Purpose · · Score: 1

    I'm gonna guess you work for EA if you are working for a shop that still does Xbox classic games. Covering such a wide range of platforms is insanely hard.

    Hardware fails all the time, I highly doubt this is a software issue.

  3. Guess Google's employees are hosed too on Google Dev Phone 1 Banned From Paid Apps · · Score: 1

    I bet Google's workers are pretty peeved that the "bonus" they got last year can't download protected apps from the Android store. Granted there aren't many of them yet, but that is nearly certain to change soon.

    If you have had your phone for 3 months and the speaker is broken send it in to Apple. You are still under warranty.

    Geez only $200 cables? You are a cheap ass. Nothing beats the fidelity of my multi-thousand dollar wood speaker knobs!

  6. Re:No linux or mac support on Quake Live Public Beta Launches To High Demand · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As a Mac user let me say sir, you are a moron. iD has already stated there will be a Linux version. Granted us Mac users will more than likely get it first but seriously dude get off your high horse. You sound like a mega troll.

  7. No email for people on list on Quake Live Public Beta Launches To High Demand · · Score: 2, Funny

    I signed up to get altered by Id when the beta opened up, but have yet to hear anything. Why bother collecting emails of people if you aren't going to bother contacting them about what they signed up for?

    At a certain point, a fetus is able to sustain its own life separate from the "host body"...

    I agree with that, and the comment to move the discussion back to the issue at hand.

  9. Oh Boy on Supreme Court of India Comes Down On Bloggers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It amazes me how quickly civil liberties are being eroded around the world. It seems like every time I read the news or slashdot I hear another theft of the public good. Time to vote these bums out.

  10. About time on Red Hat Returns To the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    I never understood why the left in the first place. They used to be at the top of the game- Fedora, not so much.

  11. Sounds good to me on 1 of 3 Dell Inspiron Mini Netbooks Sold With Linux · · Score: 1

    I have tons of XP licenses available, any time I can save money and not get another useless license is win-win. And yes Ubuntu is great, but I need Windows for a few things.

  12. Re:Control Scheme on Resident Evil 5 Dev Talks Demo Feedback · · Score: 1

    I didn't mind it as much as many fans did. I mean it was certainly a departure, but I think it was done tastefully. The problem with 5 is that it tries to be RE4-like, but is just a really weak effort. It is very unpolished, and seems like it was rushed out the door. Perhaps it could have been a better game if given more time, we will never know for sure. SH5 is not a terrible game by any stretch of the imagination, but there are so many better ones out there that I think it is only worth playing if you are a big SH junkie, which I am.

  13. Re:Happens all the time. on How To Rack Up $28,000 In Roaming Without Leaving the US · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is exactly what I did, and most folks around me- but it only takes a a few people to forget and it becomes news. I did admittedly get a $40 roaming fee once, right after buy a new phone before I remembered to change its settings.

  14. Re:Absurd! on UK Gov. Wants IWF List To Cover 100% of UK Broadband · · Score: 1

    Well now, those are pretty terrible examples. Abortion infringes on somebody else's "freedom of body" - the fetus, which never gets the freedom to live. And evolution - well, surely if we had "freedom of mind", we would believe what we wanted to instead of being required to accept the scientific consensus.

    I don't agree with you on the abortion argument. It is not alive in any more than a tumor, or a finger- if one choses to get rid of it, so be it- they are the one who must live with the consequences both physical and emotional.

    I do agree with you on evolution- the argument I was making, perhaps unclearly is not that believing in evolution is banned, but that the teaching of it is often infringed upon. That is concerning if you ask me.

  15. Re:Race Issue on Resident Evil 5 Dev Talks Demo Feedback · · Score: 1

    The only reason we're not seeing this in .. say somewhere in America or England (for instance).. is that the governments would have more influence and have to do something (adding another element to the game)like actively quarantining the area (limiting exploration and making the game feel smaller) // sending in large military forces to cleanse the area of zombies // bombing the area // etc.

    Yup, and we have already been to the US, for RE1-3 Code Veronica, and the various crappy spin-offs.

    "The music that they're using in the trailer is very reminiscent of the music used in Black Hawk Down which was set in Africa -- Somalia" - Oh just give me a fucking break already. You're really stretching this stuff.

    You nailed it, this guy is a moron. However I would like to clarify that there is a reason the music sounds somewhat like Black Hawk Down. The developers early on said that they were inspired by the atmosphere of the film, so it is not surprising to see some similarities. I myself noticed this as well.

    You have to realize that black people are a bigger deal than spanish people in America.

    I hope you realize Capcom is a Japanese company, and the people working on this title have are not Americans, or even white themselves.

    OT- but I will tell you SH5 sucks big time, very buggy and uninspired. This from a fan of the series. If you must, rent it.

  20. Re:What about Apple then? on EU Says MS Must Offer Other Browsers; Now What? · · Score: 1

    Troll, really? WTF mods. That is a pretty fair question to be asking. MS is being forced to do these things specifically because they are a convicted monopolist, Apple while plenty evil, is not. How in the flying fuck is pointing out the obvious trolling?

  21. Happens all the time. on How To Rack Up $28,000 In Roaming Without Leaving the US · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When I used to live 5 miles from the Canadian boarder I would hear nightmare stories like this all the time. People, despite being in the US would find that their cell was roaming to a Canadian tower because it had a better signal. It was bad then, even before data. Now I can only imagine how horrible it must be.

    Sadly this is often an effect of democracy- tyranny of the majority. Don't get me wrong, I don't like dictators, but this problem is still important.

    Depends on how you define freedom. Freedom from taxation perhaps, but freedom of body (abortion, contraception), or of mind (evolution) are certainly not so doing well, and I say this as a Coloradoan.
