  1. Re:not surprised. on MPAA Says Teachers Should Camcord For Fair Use · · Score: 1

    I didn't think the swine flu was spread that widely.

  2. Re:Weren't the earlier betas much faster? on Windows 7 "Not Much Faster" Than Vista · · Score: 1

    I've had 8gb of a page file on XP32, and it shows up with the 3.25 of the 4gb of installed RAM.

  3. Re:Does it bother anyone else..... on Hospital Equipment Infected With Conficker · · Score: 1

    You mean we can't nuke it from orbit?

    But then you don't get the wonderful experience of only having one mouse button.....

  5. Re:It's great that they lightened the DRM load. on EA Won't Use DRM For The Sims 3 · · Score: 1

    That offers the same problems as requiring a CD in to play. You have a limited number of places to put it, if you have multiple games each one with a dongle you'll run out of places quick, or you'll misplace the dongles, or someone will break it.

    And it would most likely be susceptible to the same kind of attacks that a no-cd hack uses.

    Too soon?

  7. Re:not all that bad on Sony Charges Publishers For DLC Bandwidth Usage · · Score: 0, Troll

    Are you intentionally obtuse?

    Sony isn't pushing files down onto the PS3s, the PS3s are requesting the files from a server and downloading them. What does the delivery method matter? Do you want UPS overnight or something? Its a file download, at its most complicated a secured session file download.

    I'm just pointing out that as a comparison simple web hosting goes for about .4 cents per gigabyte, 40 times less than what Sony is charging.

    Thats what I'm paying $10 a month for.

  9. Re:not all that bad on Sony Charges Publishers For DLC Bandwidth Usage · · Score: 0, Troll

    I pay $10 a month for 2.5 terabytes of transfer. Thats about .4 cents per gigabyte.

    The hours that go into training users? They don't know how to use the current stuff... why would you train them on the new stuff?

  11. Re:speed is everything? on Microsoft Says IE Faster Than Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wouldn't think firefox should be caching hostnames, your OS should be. Otherwise, if you wanted to flush your DNS hostname cache, you'd have to flush the OS cache, and then the firefox cache.

  12. Re:It's pretty standard these days on Detecting Click Tracks · · Score: 4, Funny

    I thought it was because of songsmith.

  13. Re:How to make games scary? on Making a Horror Game Scary · · Score: 1

    I usually had a ton of ammo, cause I would always save ammo "just in case" so I'd never end up using the fun guns all that much....

    Also, in some areas the zombies just kept coming, so you could keep killing them, but you could never "get them all"

    Broken window fallacy?

    Also, crisis doesn't have a y in it unless you are referring to a video game.

  15. Re:Why? on Crocodiles With Frickin' Magnets Attached to Their Heads · · Score: 4, Funny

    I assume you believe, though you say someone should shoot him, that he should not be shot. That's the trend here right?

  16. Re:Actual complaint: on Has Microsoft's Patent War Against Linux Begun? · · Score: 1

    Their R&D department does do some neat and innovative stuff. Usually they don't distribute those ideas though. They just file patents and make sure no one else can.

  17. Re:gust? on A Real Bill Gates Rant · · Score: 1

    You're right, it should be four. An ellipses followed by a period.

  18. Re:FTFA: on Xbox Live Players Targeted In Denial-of-Service Attacks · · Score: 1

    A lot of games use that model? Such as what?

    Warcraft III? Starcraft?

    Any MMOs have central game servers. Any recent FPS games have hosted servers.

    As stated in another post, Xbox Live is basically catching up to 1995 PC gaming.

    Depends on the router.

    Alternatively, think Sims games, with an added nostalgia factor.
