    I think tin foil hats are actually made of tin foil.

  2. Struggle for compute time? on Cray's CX1 Desktop Supercomputer, Now For Sale · · Score: 1

    Do people still think you have to wait in line for a time slice on a computer anymore?

    I'm sorry, but if you "scientists" can't find compute time somewhere, you've got bigger problems.

    Yahoo requires users to be successful.
    Users are pissed off.

    ergo Yahoo hurt themselves. Who cares if users have a "right" to be pissed off.

    People kept saying WoW = Waiting on Warhammer. I'd just like to know now that warhammer online has been out for a bit, was it true?

    Maybe not the best we've heard, but seriously mod parent up, you laughed just like I did.

  7. Re:Not the current D on Microsoft's New Programming Language, "M" · · Score: -1, Troll

    Next step for microsoft would be to remove support for their current languages, and push .net developers into 'm'. Of course, 'm' is for microsoft, so you will lose the legal battle when m$ sues for your source code.

    Google doesn't have an IDE with a built in application creator wizard.

    hint: Call of Duty 4. If the community is dumb enough to buy the same game 4 times, they probably are willing to play a game with such frustrations.

  16. Re:Better than root kits on Game Devs Using One-Time Bonuses to Fight Used Game Sales · · Score: 1

    It is absolutely anti-customer.

    1. Customers lose value of their purchased assets. (ie, this specifically attempts to reduce resale value)

    2. It increases costs. Great, I just wanted a game and I ended up buying 100 songs too? (Don't lie to me like the retail packaging and pretend it was free)

    These aren't incentives to buy a product. They are incentives to buy it new vs. used.

  17. Re:Can't hit anything at all on K-9 Sniper Team · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thanks for pointing that out. I was just about to applaud this forward thinking change in sniper team structure. I could've really embarrassed myself.

  18. Re:Better than root kits on Game Devs Using One-Time Bonuses to Fight Used Game Sales · · Score: 5, Insightful

    These incentives don't work.

    1. Good boys and girls get a bonus for being good.
    2. Bad boys and girls figure out how to also benefit from these bonuses.
    3. Devs panic and institute some ridiculous mechanism that typically only hinders the good boys and girls.

    Example:
    1. Everyone that purchases a new copy of a game at release will get a bonus 5 maps.
    2. These maps are quickly torrented and now everyone has them.
    3. Devs ban these 5 bonus maps from play with a game update. Only players that download and install a EULA-breaking crack will still be able to play these maps.

  19. Re:Another such incentive... on Game Devs Using One-Time Bonuses to Fight Used Game Sales · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What good are multiplayer maps that other players don't have access to? Isn't the point to play with others?

  20. Re:Griefer on Diablo 3 Dev Talks Multiplayer Options, Long Dev Cycle · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't think you appreciate the Diablo's. The best part was hearing people cry when you loot their gold. It's so great because the economy in Diablo is so broken, they may as well be crying that you stole their pocket lint.

    It never gets old.

    Also, you carebears out there would enjoy griefing too. All you have to do is fake interest in an obvious scam. Ask dumb questions the whole time and see how long you can maintain the scammers interest. Not only is is a hoot, but you're making the world a better place too so you can have happy dreams of rainbows too.
