  1. Piracy... on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    As a pirate, I don't ever really have an issue with DRM, if the game is up for download, it already has a no-cd patch available. So, it's a non issue. Also, I agree with some of the posters above, DRM is a major issue when I decide to buy a game or not. If it has heavy DRM, I decide to stick it to the man and just download it, as per usual...

  2. Re:What's the point? on Open Sourcing MMOs · · Score: 1

    If you open source the game, anyone can read from source how all the quests and puzzles work. Kinda defeats the point of playing..

    The point is, that people can create different rulesets, puzzles, and quests, then share with others their creations. Extending the life of the game nearly indefinitely. P.S. It's already possible to look at the game databases and learn how the quests work. It's really simple most of the time. Go to X, kill Y, Z times. P.P.S. This information is also available in a quest log of sorts...

  3. Red... on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 1

    I've read somewhere that the color red is less physically straining on your eyes, so I would think that red on a black background might be best for you. Or possibly even red on a grey background, there would be less contrast, easier on your eyes and whatnot...

  4. A Wise Man on No-Fail Identity Theft – Live and In Person · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A wise man once told me, "There is no security patch for human stupidity." I guess he was right...

  5. If I may... on What To Do With a Hundred Hard Drives? · · Score: 0

    I'll take em off your hands. Just toss me a message or something. If not, I'm smelling a fun raid array.

  6. Nvm... on China Says It Lacks Skills To Hack US Systems · · Score: 0

    Disregard my previous comment about America getting pwnt by china. They suck cocks.

  7. War. on Chinese Government Accused of Hacking Congress · · Score: 0, Troll

    inb4 war with china also inb4 the US gets wtfpwnt by china

  8. Communication Issue... on AoC Bug Penalizes Female Characters? · · Score: 2, Funny

    This was probably just a side effect of bad communication. The graphics devs probably didn't know to make the attack animation the same speed as the males. The variable attack speed based upon animation speed is a good idea, they just executed it poorly. Just like most of the stuff in the game thus far. It'll probably be fixed very shortly. inb4 sexism lawsuits
