  1. 'Cyber-Security Emergency?' on Emergency Government Control of the Internet? · · Score: 0

    "What actually counts as a 'Cyber-Security Emergency?'" I think that when I can't watch pr0n.

  2. Re:Who cares? on Aion Open Beta Starts September 6th · · Score: 0

    Yeah, most people whine and call it ganking, probably because they've been on the other end of a good beat down and it crushes their ego. 8 man RvR battles that lasted 10-15 mins were the bomb.

  3. Re:Who cares? on Aion Open Beta Starts September 6th · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Haha, oh noez, forced PvP. I thought that's why people played these games, wtf is the point of the game if you can't pwn people. Back to raiding for you lol.

  4. Re:Yet another message passing system on Red Hat Spins Off JBoss 2.x As HornetQ · · Score: 0

    What the fuck is a message passing system? I've been working with asynchronous messaging queuing systems for a while and have yet to work with a message passing system. Anyway, I'm not sure there are 101 different asynchronous messaging queueing platforms, maybe there are. Some of the popular ones are Websphere MQ, Microsoft MSMQ, Apache ActiveMQ, and SonicMQ. All have their pros and cons, like MSMQ only running one platform whereas IBM MQ running on several. MSMQ has message size limitations that IBM doesn't. My favorite though is Apache ActiveMQ because it has duplex connections. I'm still surprised to this day that people can't tell the difference between app servers, integration tools (BizTalk), and asynchronous message queuing tools.

  5. Re:Decline of the Landline on The Decline of the Landline · · Score: 0

    Actually, where I live, if the power goes out and you don't have service with the land line provider, dialing 911 with a rotary phone will still work.

  6. Dear Mr. President on NASA Wants To Fund Space Taxis · · Score: -1, Troll

    I found 50 million dollars you can use to fund your health care reform program.

  7. Re:Doubt it's the "bloated codebase" on Windows Drains MacBook's Battery; Who's To Blame? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I bought a macbook because I wanted to run Leopard and XP. Consumer reports also rated Apple laptops #1 in all screen size categories. I'm also not poor so I spent a few xtra bucks.

  8. Re:CrackBerry: Just say no ;) on Obama To Get Secure BlackBerry 8830 · · Score: 1

    You've seen what the device does to people or what people do to themselves? The device has a power button, don't be weak and turn it off.

  9. Re:Eclipse on Vista is Slower, But XP Is Still Dying · · Score: 1

    C# is soon to be dead? That's a good one. Indeed.com is probably broke or something, returning 33,389 matches for C#.

  10. Re:Let me sum it up what it did mean on Don't Dismiss Online Relationships As Fantasy · · Score: 1

    I'm not buying the story. Sure it could happen but the facts don't add up. EQ only had two (I could be wrong) pvp servers and from what I understand they didn't come along until well after the bluebie servers. Even with that they could of had the wedding in a safe zone.

  11. Re:Happily Everquest After on Don't Dismiss Online Relationships As Fantasy · · Score: 1

    EQ had free for all pvp?

  12. Re:"Will"? on Scientist Calls Mars a Terraforming Target · · Score: 1

    The specifics are out there, we have to get there first. Some people think we have everything we need to get there now.
