    "'who ISN'T buying dell"

    Nor am I, nor will I ever. Back in the mid to late 90s DELL was an awesome system.
    Anyone remember the Dimension 450? Anyway, in the early and mid-2000s, their overall service and quality level just tanked.

    GGNES on Android is pretty kewl too. You can't see the buttons, but you can customize where to put the NES controller buttons. best. emulator. ever.

  4. Re:HI! I'm Clippy Junior! on Microsoft Files Patents for Virtual Game Controller · · Score: 1

    Eons ago when 'Clippy' was first introduced I went and bough a box of paperclips. Every time it pissed me off I took out a paperclip and bent the shit out of it. I have several really nice, large abstract objects I have built in the 90s. Then I discovered OpenOffice, and recently Libre Office. I am now at peace.

  5. Re:Will phones be the end of consoles? on Microsoft Files Patents for Virtual Game Controller · · Score: 2

    Count me in. I am not a huge console fan, if a console fan at all. The last one I got was a Wii and I hardly play it. No PS3 and no XBox.
    I do game on a PC though and I have it hooked up to a large HDTV w/surround sound and a powered sub that causes my neighbors to piss their pants a block away. I have laptops too, but I prefer those for business practical uses and not gaming. I would rather build a comp to my specs than have it go to some device that is pre-built with specs I don't like. WON'T ANYONE THINK ABOUT US GAMERS?!

    maybe not the patent office, but the courts sure will.

    I did too and would have modded as such if I still had any points left. /. just keeps handing them over. I get about 5/day to 5/every other day. I guess they like my mod style.

    or maybe it isn't so simple. correct me if I am wrong, BUT
    if you don't click the ads on their sites they don't get a chunk of change from the advertisers. In turn the advertisers don't get paid because we are not clicking on ads and buying the stuff which means they will pull their ads because they are not successful. SOOOO, IF we stop clicking on the ads and buying the stuff, these companies will start to lose money and realize that we are not the product....right? or something like that?

    I was thinking this exact line before I clicked into the comments. Good to know I am not the only one who noticed.
    However, I might be the only one to not really give a damn.

  14. Re:Groupthink? on Has the 3-D Hype Bubble Finally Popped? · · Score: 1

    Maybe not sooo much 'groupthink' as you put it.
    I prefer my CGI in 3D(Toy Story, How To Train Your Dragon, Brave, etc) in 3D. Live-action movies, not so much. I think it is more pronounced in a movie done solely CGI than a live-action. The live-action 3D is really only pronounced in certain areas(a scene done in CGI, explosion or the little CGI bits mixed with the live-action.)
    Over all, I would rather see a CGI in 3D and a live-action in 2D.

    I guess that means I am rich..WOO HOO! hHowever, I have never been excited about live action in 3D, but animated(CGI/CELL) I like because it looks better in 3D than live action.

    This is my cousin exactly. She is 14 and fscking stupid. She has a thing that posts on her facebook everyday that is clearly a highjack and I always comment "...and hacked." then "change your password." It's been almost 2 months. I bet you can guess what she hasn't done. I been considering just changing her password myself and not telling her what it is.
