  1. Motherboard works a bit on Abit To Close Its Doors Forever On Dec. 31, 2008 · · Score: 1

    How can they expect to survive when their motherboards only works a bit. There was this model where there are known problems. Instead of fixing the problem when I go in, they gave me an old motherboard with different problems. After 3 times of getting motherboard with worse and worse quality, I gave up.

    Well, then shouldn't the main treatment for pain be just handwaving and poking people with needles? Why are people STILL given pain killers that works 25% of the time and potentially cause serious health problems?

    If I am a German and I was given painkillers, I would probably sue the German medical establishment.

    One of the indicators that WAR will fail was that it had taken so long to come out. I had read somewhere that DAoC (Mythic previous successful game) took like $5million and 18 months.). WAR is starting to sound like shadowbane.

  13. Re:This is why Blizzard is so seuccesful on Warhammer Online Sees Massive Content Removal To Make Launch · · Score: 1

    Actually, the real problem is not that they have cave in to incessant whining but rather not solving the real problems of the game. There are a lot of good ideas but the implementation was pathetic. For example, they have this "class lead" idea where a player is chosen to take feedback from the player base, filter them and give feedback to mythic. Instead of acknowledging and fixing the problems to the game (after some tremendous work by the class leads), mythic usual reply was that the problems was "as designed". Another main problem was that there are serious "bugs" that mythic never get around fixing or take years to fix. I guess everyone had their patience, and when WoW came out, 90% of the players leave the game within a few months. Of course, some of the main problems and bugs was fixed after that, but by then, they already lose that players.

    maybe the warning should be "hame requires 20 hours of play before you get addicted"?

  15. Re:PvP games on Age of Conan's "Kinda" Launch and Massive Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    People will tend to get bored and get on with life regardless of how good the game was, is and will be. Sure, there will always be some hopeless addicted freaks who thought that they rule the game by being the remaining few, on the whole, games do get boring after a while. I am not even addicted to Tetris anymore ;)

  19. Re:They're Right on Chinese Blogs, Netizens React To the Tibet Issue · · Score: 1

    I find your comments very suspicious that although you have spend the majority of your adult life in the study and practise of Buddhism, and yet do not understand the fundamental differences in the various schools of Buddhism. As an ignorant non-Buddhist, I do know the five precepts that the Tibet Buddhism does not seems to follow. It has nothing to do with some imagery fundamentalist concepts but whether you even understand the very basic teachings of Buddha at all.

  20. Re:They're Right on Chinese Blogs, Netizens React To the Tibet Issue · · Score: 1

    As a Buddhist, you might like to know that the form of Buddhism that Tibetans practised is very different from the form of Buddhism that Buddha had taught.

  21. Re:Rage Against the Chinese? on Cyber Attacks against Tibetan Communities · · Score: 1

    Strange. I would say that the Americans are systematically wiping the world culture too. Without US, there will be no Slashdot with full of kids who probably don't even where China is on the world map but claims to know all the evil things that the chinese leaders had done. Chinese people will still probably line-ing up to watch opera instead of watching movies. Instead of planning cyber attacks, the chinese kids will probably be practising kungfu in some remote temple. That's said, Americans are systematically wiping out Chinese culture, who is in term wiping out Tibetans culture, which meant that Americans are systematically wiping out Tibetans culture?

    anyway, just to share one of Buddha's greatest teachings, which is basically to find out the truth for yourself rather than accept what other people said. Of course this is rather out of context in that it was meant to refer to the acceptance of religions, but that i guess the advice is relevant everywhere.

  24. Re:English, mofo... do you speak it? on Windows Home Server Corrupts Files · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, you just highlight the problem. Not everyone (or rather few people) understands the word "backup" as it should be. However from a system design and testing point of view, the system should support "live" editing of files in the backup. Alternative, they should have warn the users of this limitations because most people would think that if a system allows them to edit files, then it should be able to handle the file editing properly. So it is a case of either bad design and bad testing or both. No excuses for Microsoft here.

    Well, so what makes Microsoft so special that people MUST adapt to their breaking of standards? If the ISP accommodate Microsoft, shouldn't they also accommodate any other vendors who wrote buggy software? And when will it ends? I think the ISP is doing a fantastic job.
