    Average joe is not going to be installing a custom OS firmware on his "intanet box"

  2. Re:Hardware recommendations? on Ubiquiti Announces RouterStation Challenge Winners · · Score: 1

    Although it doesn't include a switch, I greatly prefer PC Engine's ALIX routers: http://www.pcengines.ch/alix1d.htm

    There are a few cases available for them and you get get quite a few interfaces/minipci combos for ethernet and wireless. Switches are cheap anyway.

    No I don't work for them, I'm not even European, just a happy customer :)

  3. Re:Behind ID? on Epic Releases Free Version of Unreal Engine · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yes, his stirring, creative games that would be amazing even without a nice set of graphics tech running them. I know the first time I killed the Cyberdemon in Doom I nearly wept, it was like a modern re-imagining of a Greek tragedy.

    Okay, that's getting pretty thick there but lets get one thing out of the way: Id's claim to fame has been sweet tech demos, they've yet to make some kind of interesting innovation that isn't a technical one.

    I'm doubting there is much engine source included with this release.

    Some UnrealScript/Kismet stuff sure, but no engine source.

    Amazing! Is that using the new hardware tesselation stuff! The level of detail is crazy!

    You mean the ones they won't be releasing anymore, because they're broke and have been owned by the man?

    But whoa, I'm really looking forward to Doom 5 or whatever their working on now. I'm sure it will be nice and dark.

    That's like saying it is ok for me to shit in my roommates bed because he's an asshole.

    Let me fix that for you.

  9. Re:So What? We use "Lie Detectors". on Iraq Swears By Dowsing Rod Bomb Detector · · Score: 2, Insightful

    True, but lie detectors do actually measure things. Heart rate, etc. They're not accurate, but they're not magical either.

    This is completely retarded, instead of the lie detector's mostly retarded.

    Something I learned from P&T:B.... Clench your ass muscle to fool lie detectors.

    Oh I know what you mean.

    I mean, before America showed up it was a happy place. They had flowing meadows, and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.

  11. Re:I disagree, as Aliens tought me... on Rise of the Robot Squadrons · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, I guess it depends on if your aim is to take the area itself or the area + civilians living in the area.

    He clearly doesn't know the difference between The Predator and The Terminator.

    I think it's time for someone to hang up their geek spurs.

    You are really, really good at reading comprehension. :)

  18. Re:The Worlds Lost Decade on Microsoft's Lost Decade · · Score: 1

    So a *PHP* developer (haha) doesn't like Java, because he read about how a low volume website like friendster had noobs running the place. I mean they're running PHP now. So all you've proven is that PHP "programmers" aren't good at building complex systems.

    You realize my example of the London Stock Exchange had Microsoft *themselves* working on the project, right?

    Someone better call Google (and every other big IT company besides Microsoft) and warn them Java doesn't scale!

  22. Re:The Worlds Lost Decade on Microsoft's Lost Decade · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You realize in most independent benchmarks, Java is quite a bit faster than .NET and has been proven in really huge enterprise apps. .NET hasn't been proven, just ask the London Stock Exchange.

    I think you need to get the facts, my friend.
