    I'm sorry, but really... WHO gives a shit what this guy thinks?

  2. Re:They suck, yeah. on Democrats Appoint RIAA Shill For Convention · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who would've thought that it would've been the Democrats that crack down on free speech (Imus) and then pick this assclown to work their convention? Are they shifting to the right, or are they just stupid?

  3. good old EU on EU Launches Antitrust Probe Into iTunes · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Realizing that they cannot compete with American (or Asian) tech companies, the EU once again tries to legislate to produce home grown competition. Tools.

    I'm sorry, but to a large extent, the users make the site. And when the majority of your users are teenage morons.. well.. your site tends to go to shit.

    Come on. It's facebook. Like anyone is going to take this seriously. This would be like MySpace releasing a distro of Linux.

    "(I remeber a similar story about Tivo DVD players not playing new Blue-ray discs)"

    You're aware that BluRay discs require a BluRay player, right?

    Just realized.. The submitter created this story in order to generate traffic to his site. Good work, assclown.

  10. Up in arms? on GTA IV Trailer Inflames Big Apple Politicians · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They're not up in arms. Some uppity reporter went to the Mayor and the council and said, "Hey, Grand Theft Auto is set in NYC. What's your response?" And neither reponse was particularly vitriolic. Much ado about nothing.

    Learn Chinese and Hindi. That way, you'll be able to understand the professors.

    Youth and young adults don't take surveys. Old people with too much free time do. Read into this as you will.

    Right..... The Chinese exchanges clearly are not href="http://www.resourceinvestor.com/pebble.asp?r elid=29511">overvalued. Try again.

    How long until the Chinese Gov't takes control of this and artificially inflates its value, just like the Yuan and the Chinese stock markets?

    Look, just because 3rd party support is eroding and previously exclusive titles are going multi-platform (or becoming 360 exclusives), doesn't mean the PS3 was a poor investment, right?

    "25 gig BluRay vs 7.5 gig DVD - Over three times the storage for the PS3."

    So what exactly do you want them to stick on the BluRay disc? I'm sure that they can stick multiple copies of the game on the disc to compensate for the slow loading time (like Bethesda did with Oblivion).

    If you're in the mood for hours of FMV's, then I'm sure FFXIII will satisfy your needs.

    The bottom line is - developers don't know *what* to do with all that disc space. Blaming MS for that is idiotic.

    On that note, I think we should also take the opportunity to blame Microsoft for global warming, the African AIDS epidemic, and JFK's assassination.

    Shouldn't PayPal be more concerned with improving its abysmal customer service? Fuck them.

    I'm glad I sold my Novell stock soon after their parnership with Microsoft. This is why Linux users make shitty stock brokers.

    This is probably part of the reason why the UK is not known as a hotbed of IT/Software/Hardware innovation.

  24. Welcome to IT? on What Is Fair Technical Support From a Manufacturer? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    What you're describing was fairly commonplace back in 1994-1997 when I was helping start up a regional ISP. To a certain extent, it was "neat" that we were finding bugs in brand new routers (Cisco + Bay were the usual culprits). Of course, it was a pain in the ass that it'd typically take hours, days, or weeks to realize that the hardware/software was bugged.

    As technology has progressed, things certainly have gotten better. Regardless, you need to realize that "shit breaking" is part of IT. Don't like it? Leave the field.
