  1. Re:0xB16B00B5 on Microsoft Apologizes For Inserting Naughty Phrase Into Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that people react differently in certain situations, and that being able to discern who will appreciate a joke and who will go overboard on the disciplinary procedures is fundamental to a healthy office environment?

    +5 Insightful, man!

  2. Re:BS on The Decline of Fiction In Video Games · · Score: 1

    You should check out Dear Esther on the Steam sale. It's completely the opposite of what you want from a game :)

    You have 5 controls; Forward, Backward, Strafe Left, Strafe Right, and Zoom. You walk around an island, and a narrator tells you a story. It's not "fun" but it's certainly very enjoyable, like reading a good book.

    I find CoD, Battlefield X, Medal of Honour etc to be repetitive and boring. It's all about watching the numbers grow; More damage, more accuracy, higher RoF, more armour, more recoil compensation, more sprint, more ammo in the clip, faster mag changes... You're playing Accounting with motion blur and blood sprays. Yawn.

    Check out Don Gorske. 25000 Big Macs, Cholesterol of 140 and no know health problems. He was in Super-Size Me too, but I don't think McDonalds mind about that one :)

  5. Re:OfficeMetro and WinMetro can DIAF on Microsoft Office 2013 Not Compatible With Windows XP, Vista · · Score: 2

    I've actually been given the green light to try and make our apps work on WINE in Linux because of the Metro. interface. We either upgrade to Windows 7 and do it after then, or I get the apps working and we do it sooner. Either way, MS is dead here.

    Big problem for MS is that I work in education; We have no money and aging hardware as the norm. If Linux works here, they stand to lose BIG.

  6. Re:Translation: on Judge In Kim Dotcom Extradition Case Steps Down · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The US bribed someone to get him out of the way so they can get a more acquiescent judge who won't give a damn about what the law says and about all the laws the FBI violated in either country.

    Hyperbole and speculation much?

    The Judge said something moronic in public, which he knew could jeopardise the case for Kim Dotcom, and stepped aside. Nobody was bought, nobody had the thumb screws applied, a smart man did a stupid thing and is minimising the damage.

    Your tinfoil hat is stopping all of the sensible thoughts getting out. Take it off once in a while.

  8. Re:Cheaper? Nope, this is Sony we're talking about on Sony's Thermal Sheet Good As Paste For CPU Cooling · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the rest of you but I have to buy a new tube every time I have a new CPU, the old tube always disappears.

    I used Arctic Silver 5 on my Q6600 rig five years ago. I used the same Arctic Silver 5 when I upgraded the cooler to a Corsair H70 two years ago, and when I upgraded to Sandy Bridge earlier this year.

  9. Re:France has a problem on Man Physically Assaulted At McDonald's For Wearing Digital Eye Glasses · · Score: 1

    I have proposed, on many occasions, a new framework for identifying people by physical attributes, while remaining utterly politically correct. Here it is, for your enjoyment:

    "All people are people. Therefore, all people shall be referred to by their name, or as 'person'."

    "Who put these reports on my desk?"
    "A person."

    And nobody was ever offended.

    The underlying question is why, for the love of all that is good in this world, would you eat at a McDonald's in France?

  11. Re:remember that raise you didn't get? on US "the Enemy" Says Dotcom Judge · · Score: 1

    Mexican dirt weed has no market in So-cal. Everything here is indoor grown under very careful conditions. All the crap outdoor grown mexican weed gets shipped elsewhere. They cant compete here because the local quality is so damn good. Sure there may be quality grow-ops in mexico, but the vast majority of it is crap compared to the North American growers. All the pot i buy is locally grown. I know the growers, ive been to their ops, I have bought plants from them. Please tell me your personal expertise on this subject.

  13. Re:Uncanny valley on Hollywood Acts Warily At Comic-Con · · Score: 1

    It's about immersion in the story.

    I understand the GP completely; I can't stand live theatre, and find it utterly non-immersive. I therefore can't suspend my disbelief, and constantly am aware that I'm staring at a stage populated by actors. There is no empathy or emotional involvement at all.

    You can bet I cried like a little sissy girl at the end of The Green Mile, though.

  14. Re:High Framerate + CGI = extra fake on Hollywood Acts Warily At Comic-Con · · Score: 1

    The same thing happened to me when I saw 300 on my mate's 1080p tv. Every. Single. Scene. shot on a green screen was unwatchable. It was like everything suddenly became cell-shaded; Every character had a black outline, and the background was unmistakably a flat rendering on a screen.

  19. Re:jokes on Facebook Scans Chats and Posts For Criminal Activity · · Score: 1

    I'm concerned that Facebook could end up flagging something as illegal that is really an inside joke between friends. I make lots of jokes about illegal activities with friends. They're usually about violent crimes or hard drugs rather than sex crimes, but still... We know each other well enough to catch the sarcasm. But sarcasm doesn't always show through very well in text when being read by strangers.

    Rule #1 of the Internet: Don't post anything you wouldn't be happy saying in front of your family, or shouting out in a busy street.
