    Will we be able to play as Zerg/Protoss in multi-player if we only buy the Terran game?

  5. Re:The changeover went like a Breezy Badger on Wikimedia Simplifies By Moving To Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu is nice because installing and updating apps is easy, there is a wide variety of apps available for it, and it's quick and easy to install.

    I was going to post asking what Ubuntu has over Debian, but then I remembered Canonical.

    The appropriate response is to tag it "words"

    I think he is referring to the lack of polish that Ubuntu has. I find Debian's default Gnome desktop atrocious. I prefer their KDE or their base install. Ubuntu, on the other hand, does a very good job with Gnome while Kubuntu lags.

    may I suggest Ubuntu 8.10?

    ...I see the government as a sort of ISO standard body with military backing. Perhaps I'm off my rocker with that idea.

    No, you are absolutely right: Standards for sale to the highest bidder.

  15. Re:Why? on Brainwave Controlled Game From Square Enix · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People that are already terrible at a game probably won't intentionally handicap themselves with a device like this.

    Believe it or not, I wasn't arguing that. I was pointing out that regardless of whether Palin would close the account, Yahoo had beat her to it anyways.

    ...this bozo gave Palin a perfect excuse to close the account and (presumably) destroy all the evidence. (And any evidence that can be recovered will be tainted.)

    Yahoo already closed it. I think they had closed it before the first article hit Slashdot.
