  1. Another area where developers fail on The Perils of Pointless Innovation In Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Another area where developers fail constantly is that they don't seem to look at prior solutions, it's almost as if some developers don't actually play games themselves.

    Only fools learn from their own mistakes.

  2. Better than what we get in Australia on Time Warner To Offer Unlimited Bandwidth For $150 · · Score: 1

    $75 would only get you about 60GB here.

    As long as they don't count uploads towards your limit, it seems like a good deal.

  3. I just had a look at Hulu on Sony Pictures in Talks With YouTube · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I just had a look at Hulu and got this:

    We're sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the United States.

    Google combating who? The only competition is torrent.

  4. Re:Better than mplayer? on VLC 0.9.9, The Best Media Player Just Got Better · · Score: 1

    Under Windows the best player is KMPlayer:

  5. Re:"we actually don't want this shit in the first on Wikileaks Pages Added To Australian Internet Blacklist · · Score: 1

    What support? So far there's next to no support for this at all. Just some maniac's pipe dream.

  6. Re:dear all australians: on Wikileaks Pages Added To Australian Internet Blacklist · · Score: 1

    You do realise this is a trial right?

    If this comes to actually pass, then you can think of us as the second China.

    If it doesn't, which is more likely, then all that we've shown is that unlike America, we actually don't want this shit in the first place, rather than picking up the bones after the fact.

  7. Streisand effect on Wikileaks Pages Added To Australian Internet Blacklist · · Score: 1

    Streisand effect strikes again!

  8. Re:Translation of the "crime description" on Pirate Bay Operators Stand Trial On Monday · · Score: 1

    You say Google has taken active steps to filter out that material, but even if it's true I don't see any effect. Warez and Torrent sites still come up in the search results by the hundreds, on the first page.

  9. Re:Translation of the "crime description" on Pirate Bay Operators Stand Trial On Monday · · Score: 1

    Very interesting, thanks.

    I think they could just argue that, much like Google or any other search engine, The Pirate Bay cannot be held accountable on the legally of the content that it tracks.

    If this ever goes through then they might as well sue any search engine in the world.

  10. Pirate translators needed on Pirate Bay Operators Stand Trial On Monday · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some Swedish translators should add subtitles and put it up on The Pirate Bay.

  11. Idiots on Some Of Australia's Tubes Are About To Be Filtered · · Score: 1

    They should be spending that money on improving our internet instead. Doesn't seem like they want any votes in the next election.

  12. These "other countries" should start to lag behind on WSJ Says Gov't Money Injection Won't Help Broadband · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I wish Australia would "lag behind" like the US, maybe then we could get almost unlimited download quotas too.

    Sure compared to technology heaven like Japan it might seem like you're lagging behind, most of the world is probably lagging right there with you.

    But you're far from the worst off.

  13. Re:This. Game. Sucks. on Looking Back At Far Cry 2 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't forget that after more than 4 years have past since the last game, the AI still has binocular x-ray vision, perfect aim and has trouble navigating.

    I think they should be "innovating" less and studying more. It seems like every new game repeats past problems and ignores solutions.

    Do these game designers actually play games? Because it doesn't seem like it.

  14. Re:What are they doing with the story line? on Epilogue DLC Coming To Prince of Persia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Now that would be a great ending.

  15. Privacy violation on 6 Pennsylvania Teens Face Child Porn Charges For Pics of Selves · · Score: 1

    Sue the teacher for privacy violations?

  16. Suggestion. on Keanu Reeves To Star In Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 1

    I suggest everyone watch the anime and ignore this rubbish.

    My only hope is that at the end of the movie, or perhaps better yet the start, they point people towards a DVD box set of the anime.

    Remaking timeless anime into a live action movie, especially for America, is impossible.

  17. Re:Label the kids? on Congressman Wants Health Warnings On Video Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    That later go on to become officials.

  18. Re:OS or GUI??? on Ballmer Sets Loose Windows 7 Public Beta At CES · · Score: 1

    "Are the pundits so brain dead that they don't know the difference between an OS and a UI? A taskbar is not an OS."

    Yes.

  19. Re:Good time to start pumping out GHG then! on Is the Yellowstone Supervolcano About To Blow? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    21C? I hope it erupts soon! It's going to be 40C for the next four days here (Australia).

  20. Re:Real mature on Microsoft Zunes Committing Mass Suicide · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's not childish, it's fitting.

  21. Re:missing the point on Avoiding Wasted Time With Prince of Persia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you're going to hit the quicksave button all the time, then you might as well make it automatic, like they have done here.

    The game isn't easy because of this, it's less frustrating. Forcing the player to restarting huge segments at the smallest error is a very cheap way to make something "difficult".

  22. How do they prove it? on The Slippery Legal Slope of Cartoon Porn · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If it's fantasy, you can say the depiction is as old as you want. It's not real, rules of reality don't apply, at all.

  23. Breaking news! on Strategy Games Improve Cognitive Functions In Older Adults · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Using the brain, improves the brain!

  24. Re:This is one step from... on Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn · · Score: 1

    One step? This _is_ thought crime! Drawings come from imagination, you can recognise the depiction of anything as anything you want it to depict inside your own imagination.

    Forget child pornography, this is a legal stance against imagination and pure fantasy!

  25. No words. on Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn · · Score: 1

    I don't even have any words to express how insane this is, I'm ashamed to be living in this country.

    Nay, I'm ashamed to be living on this planet.
