  1. If you will buy this.... on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 1

    I have some 700$ RCA cables you would love. A 1200$ toilet seat that I swear will make thinks "move" easier. Just swipe your credit card here....

  2. What others remember on Preserving Memories of a Loved One? · · Score: 1

    Some of the best ways of getting to know someone who is no longer with us is threw the experiences of the people that knew them. Don't forget to record you speaking some of your favorite memories and experiences with her, and maybe some that her friends remember. I lost an uncle to cancer and was too young to think of it at the time but I wish I could have gathered up all of our family and his friends and sat around and had a "remember when" discussion around a tape recorder. Record your children as well even if they are pre-teen about what they remember and love about their mother, that will go a long way if and when they ever choose to look back and see what their mom was all about.

  3. Re:Blizzard? on Blizzard Sues Private Server Company, Awarded $88M · · Score: 1

    No they minded bnetd because it allowed the pirating of Warcraft 3 (and the beta as well)

  4. Re:Sigh again on A Million Kids Misdiagnosed with ADHD? · · Score: 1

    I think you mistook my point. I placed those 2 items in bold for a reason. Just because the kid likes to play in the dirt does not mean that they have no friends. Where I am from squatting down in the dirt and digging for interesting rocks is FUN, and generally is considered playing. The socialization aspect was not even part of my question. I agree with your point on socialization, humans in general are social animals. Just stating that the activity stated is a form of playing.

    - What would happen to him if he didn't take the medication?

    Based on my experience, he'd be squatting down in the dirt digging for interesting rocks rather than playing and learning how to socialize with other kids.

    These are not the same thing?

  6. May be a mandate from outside the company... on Resisting the PGP Whole Disk Encryption Craze · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Considering the type of data that the OP is working with and the choice of the product to use, it may be that they fall under the government mandate of using encryption and that it HAS to be FIPS 140-2 approved. In this case TrueCrypt (as much as I like it) is not a valid choice, as it is NOT FIPS 140-2 approved.

  7. Bloat free on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 2, Informative

    IZarc as oposed to Winzip, or WinRAR or ... pretty much any other compression program

  8. Re:Blizzard... Owned by MS... on Will the Lack of DX10 on XP Spur OpenGL Dev? · · Score: 1

    Blizzard is NOT owned by Microsoft, they are owned by Vivendi

    As for openGL support in WoW, they already do so, you can use either Direct3D or opengl

    You can do this by changing a line in your config.wtf file

    Change SET gxApi to "opengl" or "direct3d" to change modes
