  1. Re:BRING IT ON !! on Ubisoft's Constant Net Connection DRM Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Its also pretty common to get AV false positives for keygens due to the warez scene/demoscene compression systems they use (which are sometimes used by malware creators as well).

  2. Re:Hard month for Adobe. on Rogue PDFs Behind 80% of Exploits In Q4 '09 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Don't forget the controversy of Adobe allegedly trying to sabotage the HTML5 spec.

  3. As an iiNet Customer.... on Landmark Ruling Gives Australian ISPs Safe Harbor · · Score: 1

    Thank fuck!

  4. Re:Law to be repealed on South Australia Outlaws Anonymous Political Speech · · Score: 1

    yeh... after the election. so basically, after he has got what he needs from it.

  5. Re:foot.shoot(); on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 1

    Based on your logic, IE6 is not obsolete and web developers should keep supporting it. Oh wait...

  6. Re:Concerning Modern Warfare 2 on Average Budget For Major, Multi-Platform Games Is $18-28 Million · · Score: 1

    ...simply porting a console version to the PC...

    No, no, no. The PC version had plenty of new features, such as "Keyboard and mouse input" and "Customizable resolution settings"!

  7. Re:Yawn. on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner Takes Flight · · Score: 1

    too soon?

  8. EA shareholders, sucks to be you on EA Shuts Down Pandemic Studios, Cuts 200 Jobs · · Score: 0

    Interesting as EA CEO John Riccitiello made a lot of moneyfrom EA buying them in the first place, while EA shareholders are the losers.

  9. software scaling on Making Old Games Look Good On Modern LCDs? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I dunno, on my 1920x1080 display old games look pretty good using Nvidia (driver) scaling (fixed aspect ratio, scale to fit vertically). Maybe just because its sufficiently high res, scaling artefacts are not particularly noticeable.

  10. Re:Censorship depends on the country. on UN Officials Remove Poster Mentioning Chinese Firewall · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Slashdot should wordfilter any occurrences of "Barrack Hussein Obama" to "I am an enormous flaming douchebag". Do you think you're clever to point out, at every opportunity, that Obama shares one of the most commonly used names on earth? Seriously, this is worse than tards who always write 'M$'. (Yes I'm aware of the irony of suggesting a wordfilter in a thread about censorship, but like on most sites that use wordfilters, we still know what you mean, its just nice to see your asshattery publicly shamed.)

  11. Re:build your own from darwin on OS X Update Officially Kills Intel Atom Support · · Score: 1

    Objective-C is the language, Cocoa is the API. Cocoa APIs are also available for some other languages, but Objective-C is the primary language for Mac software.

  12. Re:makes me rethink things on OS X Update Officially Kills Intel Atom Support · · Score: 1

    So just run it with the Voodoo Kernel?

  13. Re:So... the solution is more nukes? on 10% of US Energy Derived From Old Soviet Nukes · · Score: 2, Funny

    So... you're getting stoned with greenies, then?

  14. Re:Carmack sold out. on John Carmack Says No Dedicated Servers For Rage · · Score: 1

    Maybe he realised that games with repetitive gameplay and little-to-no story don't sell like they used to in the 90s, and that rocket hobby ain't gonna fund itself!

  15. Of Course! on John Carmack Says No Dedicated Servers For Rage · · Score: 2

    Of course we don't need dedicated servers anymore! Consoles and home PCs can totally host 64 player games, I mean, consumer grade internet these days totally has up speeds to match their down speeds. Its not like Modern Warfare 2 will be limited to 9v9 players. Wait, I gotta stop being sarcastic, even I'm starting to believe this shit now... Dedicated are the reason we had 64 player multiplayer back in 2002. Now, I'm all for progress, but it takes some pretty huge balls to say that ded servers are a relic of the past, when the current gen local hosting malarky can't deliver anywhere near what deds could.

  16. Re:60 Minutes on Pirate Bay Closure Sparked P2P Explosion · · Score: 1

    I guess FAUXNEWZ just takes it to hilarious new heights.

  17. Re:Hey! on Russia Develops Spaceship With Nuclear Engine · · Score: 1

    But who cares about Canada anyway.

    Hey! Canada's not a joke, Eh!

    Fixed that for you.

    Fixed that fix for you, Eh never starts the sentence up here, it ends it. For starting we use "Hey" just like you do down south of the line

    Wrong. Eh kills aleins and doesn't afraid of anything

  18. Re:Modern Warfare on Leaked Modern Warfare 2 Footage Causes Outrage · · Score: 1

    I hope you're not serious.

    The ironing is delicious?

  19. Donald McDonald on AU Classification Board To Censor Mobile Apps · · Score: 1

    ...isn't that what they call Ronald in Japan?

  20. deceptive on Wikipedia In Your Pocket, $99 · · Score: 1

    I thought this was going to be an article about how you can bribe Wikimedia Foundation for very little money...

    Yeah its kinda like the ring, but a fair bit slower...

    Plenty of girls say 'lappy'. You know what a girl is, right?

  23. Re:Or to put that in other words on Left 4 Dead 2 Approved In Australia After Edits · · Score: 1

    The iiNet case isn't a good example of something resulting from politicians pandering to the Christian Right, but there are a few other things going on at the moment that are, and in a way this is one of them. In this case, its a conservative attorney general vetoing a change of the rating system on 'moral' grounds. That is, he believes his morals should apply to everyone.

  24. woolworths on Apple Takes Action Over Australian Logos · · Score: 1

    The new Woolworths logo is pretty stupid, anyway, its not used in conjunction with their name nearly enough, and to me it always looked more like an apple than a W.

    Fun fact: port 1337 is also the default port used by encrypted filesharing app WASTE
