    Thank you for doing homework on it. I was just gonna do the same.

    Does the register's name match any other site?

    The only password that I got was the Administrator password to the server, and apparently everyone in the office knew it and that's what they used to install programs. The boss's computer 4 rootkits and 17 viruses and the old IT guy's computer had Limewire, norton 2002, and he bought a subscription to Real Player Pro.

    The funniest part was when they got frustrated with me and my "changes", they called in some guy that does hosted remote terminal services work, and he gave them a quote of about 75k a year for 20 people. At a non-profit. I belly-laughed when their faces turned white at the proposal.

    You could also argue that the people who modded him Troll are Trolls themselves, in the sense that they are ignorant of how much the holiday means to Americans and how sensitive they are about it. Which would explain the person's reaction.

    There is no "Ignorant" mod, so "Troll" had to do.

    Harrison Ford was a great casting job in the latest Indiana Jones. The movie just sucked so hard that moments after its release, urbandictionary already had a new word for the movie.

    Instead of 'jumped the shark', it's now 'nuked the fridge'.

  11. Re:Nonsequitor in the summary on Square Enix Shuts Down Fan-Made Chrono Trigger Sequel · · Score: 1

    You are right about fan-made sequels not equating to sales for an official sequel. Atleast, that's what usually happens.

    In this case, it would be true. For a game to create enough emotion and drive within any group of fans to create a sequel for 5 years is nothing short of "Please make an official sequel" being spelled out in Square-Enix's alphabet soup.

    The same could be said for Mother 3, and the same said for the Freespace project (and they've been at it since 2002 with only 80% of the original source code).

    Games that get "Game of the Year" are among the elite, and when they are abandoned by developers fans want something more. If the developers promised that something more was on the way, then they wouldn't bother making a fan sequel.

    Same thing happened with Team Fortress Classic. Had such a huge, devoted fanbase, and Valve was busy making HL2, so a group of map designers got together and started working on Fortress Forever. When Valve finally released their very different version of Team Fortress 2, people flocked to it, and as far as I'm concerned, Fortress Forever is pretty empty right now....more than half left it for TF2.

    If a proper mother 3, or freespace, or chrono sequel came out, it would sell. Gaming fanbases that are large are far more powerful at getting shit done than any other fanbase out there.

    There's nothing wrong with mentioning the addon, I just thought that there are alot of people on slashdot that avoid installing addons so I provided the most efficient non-addon solution.

    People that post addons to solutions do help others, and you should try to do it again. Please don't go emo over a slashdot reply...it's not worth it. And IIRC, there is a nicer plugin out there with multi-search just like EDTG.

    It blows. Out of all of the fast food places, I'd say that Wendy's has the best coffee by far.

    The had a secret promotion a while back where they handed out 25 free coffee mugs that would get you 25 cent coffee for a year....still using mine. They passed them out during their secret wednesday morning promos.

    25cent coffee for a year beats anything besides brewing it on my own.

    Actually I wasn't making that up. I remember a MS employee saying something along those lines in a official MS blog post...maufacturers would have killed them had they made it 7.0.

    Its why the transition from 2000 to XP was way more smooth than from XP to Vista, and its why Windows 7 will be a hit.

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

    The only reason it was listed as 6.1 instead of 7.0 was for driver compatibility for everyone that switched to vista and was using vista drivers on W7.

    Yes, it may be based off of Vista and could be called Vista SP2. But the fact is that it _feels_ faster. It feels better. And at 1GB of ram it handles shit alot better than Vista as far as resource management goes. It will be a hit, I guarantee you. MS just needs to get people to forget about Vista, which was a royal fuckup for them, and they're trying hard.

    I've heard there are a few other apps out there that can manage this, but hamachi was the easiest to set up....we needed it to instantly work through any firewalls and routers.
