  1. Good on AMD Launches New Processor Socket Despite Poor Economy · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Because DDR3 memory is so high latency it isn't even worth it. There's no speed increase.

  2. Re:I'm not believing... on Video Game Use Linked To Breast Feeding · · Score: 1

    Linking to a poor xkcd to reference an old 4chan meme? That's dumb.

  3. Re:Starcraft theory... on UC Berkeley Offering Starcraft Course · · Score: 1

    Actually, depending on the version, and if you're playing for max score, you want to make single lines for every line except for the last one of a level, where you want to get a double because it gives you the most amount of bonus points, so your score ends up being higher even if you theoretically got only tetrises.

  4. Re:NO DRM! Can you hear us now? on EMA Suggests Point-Of-Sale Game Activation To Fight Piracy · · Score: 1

    RAM is meant to be used. Stop fapping over how much ram you're wasting.

  5. Re:Strange... on No Mod Tools for Fallout 3 Launch · · Score: 1

    Lol.
    If you spent $1500 US on a pc, you wasted about 800 dollars. Or you bought from a brick and mortar store, but then again, you wasted 800 dollars. =)

  6. Re:And the site is down for maintainence on Road to WAR Website Launched · · Score: 1

    And class, views like this are what we call uninformed.
    Not a single MMO has released with everything the developers wanted two years before release.

  7. Re:x264 on Which Open Source Video Apps Use SMP Effectively? · · Score: 1

    The term is softsubs.
    And the reason VLC crashed is because it is a shit program with terrible softsub support.

  8. Re:Wait... on Dark Alex Releases 4.01 M33 Firmware For PSP · · Score: 2, Informative

    He was bowing out until the 4.0 firmware release. He was done with the incremental releases.

    That was a motivator with a picture of Deadpool.

  10. Re:You're rewriting history. on Unofficial Homebrew Channel For the Wii · · Score: 1

    Besides, if piracy kills consoles, the PS2 would have faded about 18 months after it came out. And it definantly wouldn't be the highest selling home console ever with 127+ million units sold.
  11. Re:And so it begins. on Unofficial Homebrew Channel For the Wii · · Score: 1

    PSP is very easily hackable. Has a built in ISO loader. It's still alive and there's been an ISO loader since almost the beginning.

  12. Re:Why Nature wins on Beetle Naturally Builds Photonic Crystals · · Score: 2, Informative

    But where was the cow/horse/whatever like animal that was so reproductively successful because its nose was genetically predisposed to be .1 inches longer than the others? A breed of Finch on the Galapagos Islands. One one of the islands all of the Finches beaks are 1/3 of an inch longer than all the other islands because the food is slightly deeper in the ground on that island.
  13. Re:hmm on The Changing Face of World of Warcraft · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Have you ever done a bleeding edge encounter? No? Then your opinion is completely invalidated. If you played WoW, then I bet, even if you were handed top of the line gear when Naxx came out, you wouldn't have even downed Anub'Arak, which pretty much ALL of the bleeding edge guilds downed their first time, seeing as the Gargoyles in the hallway were sort of harder cuz of the time limit in killing them. Encounters when they first come out are HARD. They're hard and imbalanced. RIght now at level 70, with a guild of 40, you probably couldn't do 4H. Why? Cuz the encounter is fucking hard. When WoW came out, most of the encounters were tank and spank, but after BWL they figured out how to actually do things. Stop being jealous, and l2p.
    People like you are the reason Scholo and Strat were allowed to be 10 manable for so long. There's a reason that WoW has instance locks of a week. So you can do a boss or two a night. You have to find a guild that raids when you have time, and one that you can agree with. BUt you probably never spent the time.

  14. Re:Wikipedia lessons for kids on Science Documentaries for Youngsters? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Assuming your child is in High School, I assure you no one actually follows that ban. They either take straight from Wikipedia with no source, or just use the sources that it links to at the bottom. Doing dumb shit like that is useless. Just like putting up web locks at schools. Kids will always break through them.

  15. Re:The Incompetence Is Staggering Either Way on Xbox 360 Finally Getting Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Why do you think the PC gaming market is dying? If you compare PC gaming to Console as a whole sure, but compare software sales to each system, and it's perfectly fine. People need to look at it correctly, not in the halfassed way that most do.

  16. Re:My solution on Xbox 360 Power Supply Blamed for Arkansas House Fire · · Score: 2, Informative

    You should update your Wii's firmware to at least 3.1
    They fixed the whole "fans turn off in standby" thing.

  17. Re:Wha? on Demonoid Tracker Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    Not for Demonoid. And to the person a few up, you don't get banned from Demonoid for anything but pissing off a Moderator. Low ratio, they don't check for cheating, inviting cheaters, none of it. Demonoid is pretty much an open tracker with invites and ratios.

    You can't, which is what a lot of us want manufacturers to be forced to do.

    Lots of monitor manufacturers will uses high quality panels for the first 6 months of production, and then start putting in shitty TN panels later in life to save costs.

    The true reason for the article comes on the last page. It's less about using Excel as a graphics engine and to think about programming in a different way.

    I've got a modded console. I'm content to wait for the scene to be able to sign their own disks so I can just play a burned dvd/do something like the independence exploit for the ps2/custom firmware like the psp
