  1. Re:im getting really tired of this shit on Must Nintendo Make a Mobile Phone? · · Score: 1

    I mostly share your sentiment but there really isn't much that can be done. As long as people depend on external sources for happiness this will likely continue. Also, let go of your need for approval from the very people caught in this cycle if you think their materialism is retarded (yes, materialism is retarded).

  2. Re:Mac users like many windows on Why Apple Should Acquire Adobe · · Score: 1

    With Leopard it is possible to group them with workspaces.

  3. Re:Why? on Why Apple Should Acquire Adobe · · Score: 1

    Prior to being MS only, they were Apple only.
    While technically correct this is misleading. Their last mac only game was Marathon Infinity, released in 1997. Marathon 2, Myth, Myth 2, and Oni all had Windows releases and all of those but Marathon 2 were simultaneous with the Mac version..
  4. Re:no offence to anyone who works on it, but... on $200 Linux PCs On Sale At Wal-Mart · · Score: 1

    Terrasoft did it first.

  5. Re:I certainly much better now! on US Voting Machines Standards Open To Public · · Score: 1

    One could just as easily print the hash of the compiled version one wants you to see instead of real one.

  6. Re:Maybe on Game Reviews are Broken? · · Score: 1

    4 out of 5 "Super Mario Bros 3"s.

  7. Re:server? on Apple to Allow Virtual Mac OS X Server Instances · · Score: 1

    If a GUI makes it simple and easy while staying reliable, why? Your statement reminds me of the argument against compilers... (Yes, I know how to use and do not fear the CLI. However, I am afraid of misrepresenting myself.)

  8. Re:This thread sucks... on Ubuntu May Be Killing Your Laptop's Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Maybe the AC thinks Ubuntu users want to have sex with aHoma?

  9. Re:We already have one on EA Calls for Open Platform/Single Console for Games · · Score: 1

    Which is essentially what modern consoles are.

  10. Re:Dumbest Idea ever. Adobe is stupid. Go 64bit FI on Adobe Intends To Move All of Its Applications Online · · Score: 1

    It's dumb, and will be slower than the existing standard. Not to mention insecure for those who want to keep their work secret until it is released.
  11. 3D games are 2D on Who Says 2D Gaming is Dead? · · Score: 1

    As long as I'm playing games on a computer screen and not interacting with holograms or something similar it's 2D.

  12. Re:It will always be alive on Who Says 2D Gaming is Dead? · · Score: 1

    If you have a DS and a way to play homebrew Lemmings DS is an excellent port. Not only is it a great bathroom game using a stylus is so much nicer than a mouse.

  13. Re:It will always be alive on Who Says 2D Gaming is Dead? · · Score: 1

    I completely forgot about The Incredible Machine but you just brought back a lot of great memories. My elementary school had it on most of their computers and if we finished our work early the computers were open for stuff like TIM and Sim Farm on a first come first server basis... Me and my friends got a lot of work done. :)

  14. Re:SF4 - 2D on Who Says 2D Gaming is Dead? · · Score: 1

    I want to start seeing more games without any graphics (or at least unneeded to play) personally. SoundVoyager is one of the most fun games I've played in recent years and is meant to be played with your eyes closed using headphones.

  15. Re:Works great on my new laptop! on Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" Is Out · · Score: 1

    While I am in agreement with you it would be nice if OSX let you change the number of used cores when in battery mode.

  16. Re:Simple Question on Nokia Takes Third Swing at Internet Tablet · · Score: 1

    Seems to me it's a format people are more likely to already have.

  17. Re:Nothing fancy. on Best Way To Teach Oneself Math? · · Score: 1

    The teacher's versions of the books have always had all answers as far as I know. Buy one of those instead of the normal version.

  18. Re:PS on Wii Uses Elliptic Curve Cryptography For Saves · · Score: 1

    Which runs on entirely different hardware... Console programming can get fairly low level and having the experience of working with the hardware as opposed to APIs can be a good experience for those who want it. Look at devkitARM for instance.

  19. Re:Weird criteria on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    The way it worked last I checked was that iTunes didn't check to see if the file referenced existed until it tried to play. If it didn't exist it would grey out and had a question mark by it. I think I just meant library entries. It's been awhile since I seriously used iTunes though as I haven't been listening to music much recently and before I got my new MBP I was running Slackintosh on my 12" PowerBook...

  20. Re:Weird criteria on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    If you turn off the option that makes iTunes copy it's files to its own library and then drag the shared folder into it it should work.

  21. Re:Weird criteria on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    And last I checked all that happens is the playlist entries stay... and you can just delete those like you would if the files were still on the computer.

  22. Re:IceWM or Fluxbox? on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    I prefer Blackbox myself.

  23. Re:Curious. on AMD To Open ATI Specs · · Score: 1

    I'm currently playing WoW... But I do care. I played the FFXI beta way back when and the job system was great. I would be playing it now if my real life friends didn't all play WoW... But I am tempted to switch anyway.

  24. Re:BSD on GPL Hindering Two-Way Code Sharing? · · Score: 1

    The implication seems to be that when others change your code their changes are still your code. That's about as much sense I can make of it.

  25. Re:BSD on GPL Hindering Two-Way Code Sharing? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Personally I don't think either one is more free than the other. I think it comes down to the GPL keeping code free and the BSD license keeping people free.
