  1. If it comes on More Evidence For Steam Games On Linux · · Score: 1

    Then full respect for valve. Though they lost some respect for their shoddy PS3 ports.

  2. It's the name on Garage Startup Develops "Personal Computer" · · Score: 1

    Who would buy a computer called, "Xalaga".

  3. use myspace? on MySpace To Sell User Data · · Score: 1

    People still use this abomination of everything that is horrendous about web design?

  4. Re:Sweet spot on The Awful Anti-Pirate System That Will Probably Work · · Score: 1

    4chan for the win. Ok I don't like them. But this is ridiculous. It's like ubisoft is treating its customers as potential pirates. Screw them.

  5. Re:ha ha suckers!!! on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 1

    Dropbox and UBuntu One are really useful at times like this. I don't understand how people still don't keep backups of their data.

  6. Re:ha ha suckers!!! on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 1

    Especially when you're using a WIndows OS.

  7. Oh really? on When Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence? · · Score: 1

    Sounds more like sensationalism, and not fact. Wasn't it just last year that some scientists built a super computer that has 25% brain capacity of a rat?

  8. US telling another nation what to do? on US Blocking Costa Rican Sugar Trade To Force IP Laws · · Score: 1

    It's just the US telling(forcing) another nation to bend to its will. Nothing new.

  9. Re:Credit suck on Microsoft Announces "Game Room," Confirms Natal For Late 2010 · · Score: -1, Troll

    The PSN network uses REAL currency. Not this fuck-with-your-mind-psychological-pricing bullshit.

  10. Re:Too bad we don't have rules to deal with this on Midwest Seeing Red Over 'Green' Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that one of the reasons for going green is the prolongued existence of our species. What is the point of using green technology if it harms us.

  11. Re:Here it comes... on Following In Bing's Footsteps, Yahoo! and Flickr Censor Porn In India · · Score: 1

    The Indians gave us the Kama Sutra, which the Western world learns from. Not the other way round.

    Don't know why Yahoo is censoring the word. It seems more like PR to me than anything else.

    Breaking News: Terrorist hijacks plane using only cooking utilities - Passengers relieved the terrorists was apprehended. When interviewed, one passenger stated, "I am glad he was caught, I don't know what he would have done, but it probably wouldn't have been as bad as his cooking".

    I want an Internet Explorer that is friendly towards developers. Microsoft are you listening? Contact me, so I can be on your next ad.

  14. what seriously? on Steve Jobs Crowned "Person of the Decade" · · Score: 2, Troll

    Steve Jobs is the farmer and the current generation of fancy-clothed-hip-young-lifestyle people are his sheep.

    i SERIOUSLY do not get what is so great about Apple products. All they do is take a pre-existing product, add gloss and make it look nice and the sheep come pouring in. What a stupid time we live in, Idiocracy is not far away.

    BTW I'm not a M$ fan-boy, but I would take aMicrosoft product (or Linux) over Apple any day. Practicality over aesthetics I say.

  17. I can see... on Building a Global Cyber Police Force · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the MPAA, RIAA and other such scumbags getting in on this. Instead of catching real hackers, they go for the easy fish and arrest students and casual pirates.

    Nowadays I don't have trust in any authoritative figure like this. They are usually backed by big corporations, that serve only corporate interests.

  18. Re:Maybe it was running Vista... on Microsoft eOpen Site Down For Nearly a Week · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe they had a problem with Genuine Advantage. Are they using Genuine Microsoft software?

  19. Will e-book readers be... on Researchers Create Cheap, Flexible, Plastic Flash Memory · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the next virtual reality. What I mean is, back in the late 80s-90s, virtual reality was thought to be the technology of the future. Now they are out of date and instead somewhat replaced with augmented reality.

    Now with e-book readers, will they get replaced with the e-paper medium. With this flexible memory card and other technology such as the printable circuit board, I can see e-book readers becoming out of date.

  20. Re:I'd like to see... on AT&T's Net Neutrality Doublethink · · Score: 1, Troll

    ISPs provide users a service - to allow users access to the internet.

    When you're paying a monthly fee to use that service, it should not matter how much or how little you use it. ISPs have no right to bitch and moan about high bandwidth users.

    If they can't handle the stress, then get out of hte business

  21. Not as easy on Building Left 4 Dead Maps With Google Sketchup · · Score: 1

    When I first heard that you could use skethup with l4d sdk, i was ecstatic. Finally I could use a a very easy-to-use 3d modeler program with a great sdk. But no.

    After some pracise trying to import maps from sketchup to l4d, it became apparent that it wasn't as easy. I.e. You have to make sure that all meshes/models are grouped in a certain way. And if you're trying to export "odd" shapes (arches, 1/3 cylinder etc) the sdk would not display them properly.

    So I find that it's much easier to build maps in the l4d sdk with brushes than it is to import them from sketchup.

    On the other hand, UDK is out and it's friggin amazing

  22. Re:Wait... on Adobe Takes On Microsoft Role In E-book Market · · Score: 1

    They will lose market share after HTML 5 becomes standard in all browsers. We'll be seeing instead of the buggy, closed, linux un-friendly and sometimes unreliable Flash player.

  23. inb4 on Iron Mountain's Experimental Room 48 · · Score: -1, Troll

    I doubt it is for data preservation. It's most probably a front for storing people's personal information which the government can spy on.

    Ea having a moral business standard is funnier.

  25. what about the customer? on Pirates as a Marketplace · · Score: 1
    I profoundly believe that. And when you steal from us, you steal from them.

    Big words coming from the same people that made people pay for a DLC that SHOULD have been in the game. Seriuosly, when have you heard of an RPG game that requires you to pay extra for a storage system

    Winrar for the win, screw EA
