  1. Halo shouldn't have Co-op. on No Online Co-Op For Halo 3 At Launch · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I enjoyed the Halo SP campaigns because they gave a sense of "one man vs. the universe". Playing it co-op with some whiny kid would not add to my experience.

  2. Re:Just one question Mr Meier... on The History of Civilization · · Score: 2, Funny

    Any Italians here that can answer that question?

  3. Re:So, in the end on Cybercriminals Building New, Stealthier Networks · · Score: 1

    It is time for 1) Microsoft and its users get their act straight and work on better security for they machines Given that Windows has hundreds of millions (if not billions) of users, and that a significant portion run pirated versions (and therefore avoid installing all flavors of patches), how exactly do you expect all of them to close up their machines? Do you suddenly expect the Chinese, Koreans, and others to have a conscience about this kind of shit?
  4. Re:Lazy Design... on Major Security Hole In Samsung Linux Drivers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds like someone is used to programming Windows drivers... No, it merely confirms that there are lazy programmers creating crap code for all OSes, including Linux.
  5. Besmirched, eh? on Sophisticated, Targeted Breakins Uncovered · · Score: -1, Troll

    Who honestly "revered" the term hacker?

  6. Re:Required to route calls? on UK's Truphone Wins Injunction Against T-Mobile · · Score: 1

    It may be bullshit, but it wouldn't necessarily be (potentially) illegal. I'm just curious as to why an injunction was issued.

  7. Required to route calls? on UK's Truphone Wins Injunction Against T-Mobile · · Score: 1

    'preventing the launch of the Truphone service' and 'abusing its dominant position' by not routing calls to Truphone users. Is T-mobile required by law to route calls to other service providers? I'm not familiar with the UK Telco laws, so maybe someone can shed some light on this.
  8. Re:Other important (non)-feature.. on PSP-Slim Hands On · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can't read that site from work here, however, it's likely a spec sheet / preview sheet based on a preview/press model. Given that Sony is now well known for changing hardware mid-production (see - no more Emotion engine chip) - I wouldn't give these preview specs too much weight until the final products ship.

  9. Re:No composite video for games?? on PSP-Slim Hands On · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure you're confusing composite or component with coaxial.

  10. Re:Other important (non)-feature.. on PSP-Slim Hands On · · Score: 2, Informative

    You're aware that this hasn't shipped yet, right?

  11. Re:Liquid Paper already exists.. on Chameleon Liquid Could Replace LCDs · · Score: 0, Troll
    I believe it's you who needs to open your eyes.

    From the third line in the summary:

    It is cheap and easy to make, and could also be used in flexible, rewritable, electronic paper.
  12. Other important (non)-feature.. on PSP-Slim Hands On · · Score: 1, Troll

    All signs are pointing to the PSP-2000 being locked down so as to prevent homebrew (or Linux) running on it.

  13. Liquid Paper already exists.. on Chameleon Liquid Could Replace LCDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    And it's called white-out, duh!

  14. Re:I love Jack Tretton's little quote there... on E3 - So, How Did It Go? · · Score: 3, Informative

    My favorite is what they're doing with the new version of the PSP. Of course, Sony could have named it something like... PSP lite, PSP-2, etc. Instead, the morons name it PSP-2000. That's so.. 1999. I'm surprised they didn't make it more "hip" and call it the PSP-2k.

  15. Re:I for one, welcome our new robotic drone overlo on First Robotic Drone Squadron Deployed · · Score: 1

    I've got a fever... and the only prescription.. is more cowbell.

  16. Re:Leading Write Up on Open Source and the "Xen" of Xen · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm outright shocked (and awed) that Microsoft wasn't mentioned as a villian. This has to be a first.

  17. Re:Does it effect Flash Lite/Wii users? on Adobe Flash Exploit Could Log Keystrokes · · Score: 5, Funny

    This therefore begs the question.. Can a keystroke logger also log waggles?

  18. Re:Good to see critical thinking on Judge Says No to RIAA Subpoena Request · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is definitely one where people should read TFA. The judge tears their motion apart, and stops just short of saying, "I award you no points, and may god have mercy upon your soul."

  19. Re:Online petition, oh noes! on BBC Trust to Meet With OSC Over iPlayer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe the DVD sales, moreso than a petition prompted the movie. Hell, high DVD sales are what prompted the return of Family Guy and the pending return of Futurama.

  20. Online petition, oh noes! on BBC Trust to Meet With OSC Over iPlayer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone recall any online petition that actually caused change?

  21. Re:let them do all the hard work on Facebook In Court · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or, the guy stole their source code and profited off it, and now they want a cut for their hard work. It really all depends which angle you look at it.

  22. Re:Just some more... on Vista Makes Forensic PC Exam Easier for Lawyers · · Score: 0

    I finally got my first look at Vista yesterday. I'd heard the horror stories and have since avoided it like the plague, but I got the random "Wah, fix my computer" call... After spending an hour removing bloatware and random MS crap utilities, I finally freed up enough system resources to play around a bit, and needless to say, I am not impressed. I don't consider this FUD - Vista actually DOES suck the big one.

  23. Re:Is everybody blind? on CEO Questionably Used Pseudonym to Post Online · · Score: 0

    This is typical Bush Administration crap... I'm suprised it took this long for someone to blame Bush. Bravo!
  24. Re:Morrowind! on 360 Back-Compat Updated Again · · Score: 0

    Ah yes indeed. Too bad I can't copy over my saved games :-(

  25. Re:WiiFit on Nintendo - "Everyone is a Gamer" · · Score: 0, Troll

    Apparently "I disagree with you" can now be represented by a Troll mod. Thanks.
