  1. Re:Seven years later? 2038! on Chinese Researchers Propose Asteroid Deflection Mission · · Score: 2

    You might want to check the numbers again. 2029 + 7 = ?

  2. Totally. on Hundreds of Bank Account Details Left In London Pub · · Score: 1

    One was the secret property of our corporate gadget-overlords, the other mere bank-account-info of faceless people. To hell with those!

  3. Re:Not even a fine? on Hundreds of Bank Account Details Left In London Pub · · Score: 1

    Two beers then.

  4. Re:Deus Ex on Study Links Game Piracy To Critics' Review Scores · · Score: 1

    This is really nothing new, a good example is Deus Ex: Human revolution, the 10-hour leaked demo (everyone has their suspicions the devs leaked it on purpose) has done amazing things for the game.

    Wasn't a Steam-account from an Italian game-journalist phished to get access? Plus Square filed a lawsuit to get Valve to surrender the access-logs.

    Deus Ex: 2 was a horrible failure of a game, but after the 10hour leak they've seen an increase in pre-orders and the developers have pushed up the release date.

    [citation needed] First time I read that.

  5. Re:Here's my take: on Wall Street Predicts Merge of OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    consequent loss of support for things like USB devices and complete bluetooth profiles... these things create IOS's limits; they're not there because they're a better way to do things, they are there because they are one of the only ways to do things, given the present environmental limits.

    I don't know which BT-profiles you mean in particular, but sending files from cellphone to cellphone was "old" back in 2006, and iOS-powered devices still can't do it with non-iOS-devices. And I'm not sure this and other features aren't there because the hardware doesn't support it...

  6. Re:The Next Firefox UI on The Next Firefox UI · · Score: 2

    The fork can't be too far away.

  7. Re:And "From Dust" on Ubisoft Brings Back Always-Connected DRM For Driver: San Francisco · · Score: 1
    In the fineprint:

    High speed internet access and creation of a Ubisoft account are required to access this video game and online features and to play online.

  8. And "From Dust" on Ubisoft Brings Back Always-Connected DRM For Driver: San Francisco · · Score: 4, Informative

    "3rd-party DRM: Ubisoft Online Service" http://store.steampowered.com/app/33460/

  9. Re:Some of those the mini has on Why IT Won't Like Mac OS X Lion Server · · Score: 1

    True, you only have to remove the fan to get to the HD, excellent for hot-swapping, isn't it?

  10. Re:Why? on Apple Laptops Vulnerable To Battery Firmware Hack · · Score: 1

    Well, just with the difference that Apple apparently wants their batteries (resp. its microcontroller) to be updateable.

  11. No. on Will Apple's Lion Roar For Business? · · Score: 1

    Why would it? OSX-virtualization is still limited to fruit-hardware by license. And the available server-hardware? Mac Minis and Mac Pros. Yeah...

  12. Re:Let's hope Steam takes notice on Apple Slashes Australian App Store Prices To Match US · · Score: 1

    http://www.steamprices.com/eu/app/620/portal-2 EU-Price without tax (20% here*) is ~41EUR.

  13. Re:Serves him right on Pastafarian Wins Right To Wear Colander In License Photo · · Score: 1

    60EUR and he can get a new one. Those new card-licenses expire after 10 or 15 years anyway.

  14. Re:Un-enlightened Austrian authorities? No. on Pastafarian Wins Right To Wear Colander In License Photo · · Score: 1

    You thought Rastafaris are wearing colanders?

  15. Re:Good mother! on Women Arrested For Refusing TSA Search of Children · · Score: 1

    "If one of them goes all Allahu-Ackbar" Yeah, because none of the DEUS-VULT!-people or the Klal-Yisrael-crowd can be psycho-loons with the tendency to massmurder, right?

  16. Re:"belligerent" on Women Arrested For Refusing TSA Search of Children · · Score: 1

    Does "I just follow orders" ring a bell?

  17. Re:Sony botched it. on Sony Announces End For MiniDisc Walkman · · Score: 1

    And even if this feature had been available, SonicStage would have driven you insane anyway.

  18. Re:No worse than germany on Telstra Starts Implementing Australian Censorship Scheme · · Score: 1

    No, it doesn't. The law never got executed and the gov't is more or less dedicated to abolish the law completely.

  19. Re:Blacklist? on Telstra Starts Implementing Australian Censorship Scheme · · Score: 1

    USA, EU and Russia don't have anti-childporn-laws? Shocking!

  20. Re:Microsoft and Games on Games for Windows Marketplace Merging With Xbox.com · · Score: 1

    Apple has PPC-whiners, Microsoft XP-whiners.
