  1. Re:"Only" 500,000 on Vanguard Dev Talks About the Game's Future · · Score: 2, Funny

    But 300k of those playing FFXI were gold farmers.

  2. Re:MS is working on a new OS architecture on The Incredible Shrinking Operating System · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Maybe, what they are thinking is this way, only a few malware apps will be able to run at a time, since that is what a windows box is for right?

  3. Re:Saves money, too on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    But how are we supposed to get Gundams with reduced spending and no space weapons?

  4. Re:Doing the math... on Charter Cable Capping Usage Nationwide This Month · · Score: 1

    1: They don't want to lose customers.
    2: They want to charge customers as much as possible.
    3: 60Mbps looks attractive, and so does uncapped downloading, making high downloaders want to pay more for what they already have, since Charter will still be highly unlikely to deliver 60Mbps.

  5. Re:Thailand's censorship directly impacts our news on More Websites Offending Thai Monarchy Blocked · · Score: 1

    Well they have to have some resource we 'need'... even if it isn't the internets.

  6. Re:What I learned from the article on RAM Disk Puts New Spin On the SSD · · Score: 1

    I think SD cards are a lot slower.

  7. Re:Probably because it has nothing to do with LoTR on Review: Lord of the Rings: Conquest · · Score: 1

    There were elvish cloaks which had the ability to make the wearer nearly invisible. Mind you they were only worn by members of the fellowship and elves themselves.

  8. Re:File Compatibility, not Habit on Companies Using MS Word "Out of Habit," Says Forrester · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they aren't compatible, they're not serious competition.

    If they aren't compatible? Do you mean "if OOo is 0% compatible" or "if OOo is not 100% compatible" as there is a rather large difference between the two. Saying that you must be either 100% compatible or 0% seems like a false dichotomy.

    It seems to me if it were an acceptable level of compatible (say 99/100 documents) that might be serious competition depending on the company.

  9. Re:we will NOT have flying cars on Flying Car Ready To Take Off · · Score: 1

    Joe Sixpack can barely even do that in a car now.

  10. Re:This patent might be thrown out: on Nintendo Files Patent For Game That Plays Itself · · Score: 1

    Well, maybe they just came up with the idea of Skynet, and haven't actually developed it yet. Still, they should be able to patent it then right?

    left 4 dead?

  12. Re:Over my dead body! on More Brains Needed · · Score: 1

    That, I don't want.

  13. Re:Really? on Apple's Life After Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    I like my macbook pro, and I'm not a Steve Jobs fan.

    I just like OS X, and it was better hardware for the money compared to Dells.

    I also want a Mac Pro with 8 cores and up to 32gb of ram. But hey I'm just a developer who like lots of VMs.

  14. Re:What's to organize? on How Do You Manage Your SD Card Library? · · Score: 1

    And then in order to play it you have to copy stuff from the SD card into the main memory? Everything I've read indicated that there will be a patch allowing playing from the card. But who knows.

  15. Re:What's to organize? on How Do You Manage Your SD Card Library? · · Score: 1

    The Wii does nothing special. It prefers FAT16 I think, but its just a series of folders on the SD card.

    Hopefully when they update it in a few months to allow playing stuff off of the SD card they'll add drivers for SDHC like the people for homebrew did.

  16. Re:Only the paranoid survive (not) on Are My Ideas Being Stolen? If So, What Then? · · Score: 1

    I was going to say that same thing.... on the internet!

    So its totally different, I can still patent it.

  17. Re:Downside... on Running Android On Netbooks · · Score: 1

    My personal preference is to have two windows maximized one on each of my screens, and go back and forth between those. Three screens would be ideal, an extra screen for a browser would be nice.

  18. Re:Constitutionality on Sex Offenders Must Hand Over Online Passwords · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not allowed within 50 feet of an intersection? So you're telling them they have to jay-walk?

    would "draw distance" be considered fallout of excess avatars?

  21. Re:the term 'googlers' annoys the hell out of me on As Christmas Bonus, Google Hands Out "Dogfood" · · Score: 1

    Of course there is the hard cap at 20, except for the +1 20% chance to bypass that.

  22. Re:the term 'googlers' annoys the hell out of me on As Christmas Bonus, Google Hands Out "Dogfood" · · Score: 1

    With 16 in death magic, plus candy corn, plus a golden egg, a grail of might and aura of the lich you'd get 20.

    With a fortune cookie you could possibly get +1 from lunar blessing, and in some places you can get a blessing for +1 in all necromancer attributes from grenth.

    With a Death Magic +1 20% you even have a chance at 23.

  23. Re:Those Finns are dedicated on Blood From Mosquito Traps Car Thief · · Score: 1

    Probably just doughnut shops over there.

    Delete the clientregistry.blob after you move the folder too.

    Prevents undue redownloading of files it thinks may be corrupted.
