  1. Re:winemaking gimmickry on Forget Space Beer, Order Meteorite Wine Instead · · Score: 1

    It could be worse it could have come from Uranus.

  2. Re:If only we had... on Drifting Satellite Could Knock Out Cable TV · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Yes! Obsidian (Black Isle)!! on Fallout: New Vegas Coming This Fall, Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Agreed NWN2 was just not as good as the original. Oh it added a some shiny graphics but at the expense of requiring a supercomputer to run properly. You could run a server and a client of the original on any old machine without a problem.

  4. Re:Missing the point on Two New Class-Action Suits Against EA Over DRM · · Score: 1

    The problem with Fallout 3 is that they are still doing a FULL install on SecuROM on your system. It just so happens that the game only uses the "CD in the drive" aspects of the DRM and not the "phone home" and "limit my installs" aspects. At the end of the day your PC is still infected however you look at it.

  5. Australia makes a power grid? on Australia Developing Massive Electric Vehicle Grid · · Score: 1

    This sounds disturbingly like the movie "The quiet earth" [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089869/] As long as they don't call it project flashlight we should be ok!

  6. Re:Extradition from the UK to US on Two Europeans Indicted In US For 2003 DDOS Attacks · · Score: 0

    The difference with extraditing to France is that it works both ways. With the US it unfortunately isn't.

  7. Extradition from the UK to US on Two Europeans Indicted In US For 2003 DDOS Attacks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Based on the UK Govs attitude to bending over whenever the US Gov requests someone to be extradited I wouldn't want to be in Lee Graham Walker's shoes right now.

  8. Re:So they can counterfeit on Report Says China Will Demand Source Code · · Score: 1

    ...But as it stands, the west is still fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan for control of petroleum...

    Afghanistan is a source of oil? Really? Not sure you have your facts straight there.

  9. What's Chinese.. on China Announces Launch-Success Details — Before Launch · · Score: 1

    ..for "Capricorn 1" ?

  10. Re:UK Amazon needs reviews on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    There were loads before lunch - most negative. Mysteriously they all vanished over the course of a lunch break. In fact while I was looking I did a refresh and another went. Looks like Amazon are actively removing all reviews. Amazon.co.uk you should be ashamed of yourselves.

  11. Re:And I just thought up a GREAT name for it... on Ballmer Teases Software-Plus-Services in '07 · · Score: 1

    or how about .Net 2.0?
