    Did you try the compatibility mode?

  2. Re:Sweet spot on The Awful Anti-Pirate System That Will Probably Work · · Score: 1

    Except there are no goods and nothing gets delivered, everything stays in Valves control.

  3. Re:Equally Lazy on Unfriendly Climate Greets Gore At Apple Meeting · · Score: 1

    They seem to believe that once you manage to oust all your critics your argument becomes true... or at least you get more $$$

  4. Re:Webkit on Steam UI Update Beta Drops IE Rendering For WebKit · · Score: 0, Troll

    When did Konqueror stop using KHTML and start using Apple Incs bastardisation of KHTML?

  5. Re:You could do it yourself. on How Do I Keep My Privacy While Using Google? · · Score: 1

    We finally found one! The system works!

  6. Re:USB, people ... USB on Palm Ignores USB-IF Warning, Restores iTunes Sync · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure why this is even a debate, it's as if suddenly this topic is inundated with corporate shills for Apple.

    Apple has been paying people to promote their products in forums and the like recently, I wouldn't be suprised if a large amount of the comments here are posted by people on Apples payroll.

  7. Re:Anti-Slashdot Effect on GMail Experiences Serious Outage · · Score: 1

    The Facebook App MafiaWars is able to log you into GMail? Thanks for the update Anonymous Coward.

    iGoogle wasn't affected.

  9. Re:Anonymous Coward. on Why Is It So Difficult To Allow Cross-Platform Play? · · Score: 1

    Except that EA hosts their own servers still for the Xbox 360 and has already shut some of them down disabling achievements for the related games.

    Microsoft doesn't actually host any game servers, they just supply the matchmaking tech and rely on console owners to host the matches P2P. Although this is apparently about to change in the next few months allowing PCs to be used as dedicated servers for Xbox 360 games while still disallowing cross-platform play.

    The only game to allow cross platform play so far is Shadowrun.

  10. Re:People in the U.S. culture can be very misleadi on Microsoft Releases Linux Device Drivers As GPL · · Score: 1

    You might not want to put a full email address unless you have a very good spam filter.

  11. Re:say what? on Best Home Backup Strategy Now? · · Score: 1

    Not if you rotate 3+ drives in a RAID 1 setup. That way one drive will always be an older exact replica of the other two. Of course this is still vulnerable to being destroyed unless you store it offsite, but at least you don't have to worry about a hard drive failing.

  12. Re:It has a story? on Is Cataclysm the Next World of Warcraft Expansion? · · Score: 1

    Warcraft has a story and even numerous books based around it, World of Warcraft is just meant to fit into that setting. Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos had a storyline that I really liked and would recommend it if you want to learn some backstory of whats meant to be happening in other Warcraft games.

  13. Re:AT&T's UVerse also excludes their own conte on Time Warner ToS Changes Could Mean Tiered Pricing, Throttling · · Score: 1

    Good luck trying to tell which traffic is inside your local network.

    We're whalers on the moon,
    We carry a harpoon.
    But there ain't no whales
    So we tell tall tales
    And sing our whaling tune.

  17. Re:Had to laugh at ... on Calling BS On the BSA Global Piracy Report · · Score: 1

    You may have heard of the terms Australasia or Asia Pacific. Australia and New Zealand are commonly known as Asian countries due to the relative closeness.

  18. Re:Instant Karma... on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    So Viruses arn't programs? It spreads without the knowledge of the computer owner, what else differentiates a Virus from a "program"?

  19. Re:harder than it seemed on Why IT Won't Power Down PCs · · Score: 1

    Even without Deep Freeze, large amounts of machines shouldn't be pulling updates from the internet; that's just asking for problems.

  20. Good? on Should Good Indie Games Be More Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Theres lots of indie games released all the time. What makes you think your game is worth $40 more than everyone elses? If your game isn't selling at $5 then it's probably genuinely just not fun.

  21. Re:Why Not Just Metered Service? on ISP Capping Is Becoming the New DRM · · Score: 1

    Time Warners proposed plans look incredibly similar to Telecom New Zealand which owns the phone lines in NZ. They charge 2c per MB if you go over your bandwidth cap, which can get pretty costly. https://www.telecom.co.nz/broadband/select/1,10627,205728-204466,00.html

  22. Re:Caps are about broadband video on Time Warner Transfer Caps May Inspire Fair-Price Legislation · · Score: 1

    Then how do you explain Australia and New Zealand? Time Warner must own those entire countries! Or more reasonably there was problems with some users transfering TBs of data causing unreasonable burden on the network and this will cause them to think twice before leaving their torrents seeding 24/7.

  23. Re:Government goons hot on strippers tracks on Swedish Tax Office Targets Webcam Strippers · · Score: 1

    Well they don't seem to be handling the recession particularly well.

  24. Psychology on Texas Senate Proposes a Budget With a No-Vista-Upgrades Rider · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's interesting to see how widespread the anti-Vista sentiment is. Just name-recognition seems to scare most people away.
