  1. Re:WoW on The Struggle For Private Game Servers · · Score: 1, Informative

    Competition in WOW or any other point and click mmorpg is a JOKE. There is no skill involved. You just point click and hope your damage multiplier plays in your favour. All luck.

    Now games that require actual skill and strategy like Street Fighter 4, Starcraft or DMC on DMD mode can be played competitively.

    That's what I thought, never heard of it.

  3. Re:law vs. law on Danish DRM Breaker Turns Himself In To Test Backup Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    DRM solely exists to provide corporations more control over the products they sell. It in no way is beneficial to the average user.

    So therefore the average users, or the people who provide the majority of votes, would never vote for DRM.

    Old or new should not matter. What matters is that the laws contradict each other.

    If we lived in a true democracy (for the people), DRM would never exist

    This is what happens when spelling nazis make redundant comments. I guess fascism is still in.

    Actually forget about using that old CRT in your basement. It's probably won't work anyway. I would recommend getting in contact with John Titor and going back in time. Much easier than finding a monitor that can play those old games.

  12. waste of time on Fear Detector To Sniff Out Terrorists · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do scientist have nothing better to do nowadays. Fear is an emotiona that could be the result of hundreds of different causes. Fear from stress, fear of losing money, fear of an individual, fear of going to an intervew etc, etc. How do these scientist aim to differentiate fear of criminal activity from other causes. Waste of time.

    Yes, because mature can only mean violence. Some people.

    Most Indians are vegeterians because, as you mentioned, due to their religious beliefs in Hinduism. But Middle Easterners are not vegeterian, as they eat meat. They just don't eat pork because it is against the religious beliefs of Islam. like Judaism.

  18. Re:We Listened! on Engineers Tell How Feedback Shaped Windows 7 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Wow, how did MS pay you to write that? When I talked about % ratings i was referring to IE's compliance in working with CSS (using the acid test). Every single time I create a style sheet I have use stupid hacks to make a site look acceptable on IE. I never have this problem in Safari, firefox (sometimes), but with IE it's a gamble between what you expect the code to do and it actually does. So I wasn't being a troll. Just ask any web developer what they think of IE - we hate it.

  21. Re:We Listened! on Engineers Tell How Feedback Shaped Windows 7 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's Microsoft, they take a very long time to do anything right (or do anything at all). Just look at Internet Explorer, they have been working on it since 1994. 15 years later, we are still YET to receive a browser from Microsoft that is at least more than 20% web compliant. As a web developer this dearly pisses me off. How is that Firefox, Opera even Safari can get complaince in the 75%+ rating and not IE. Now that boggles my mind.

  25. Does not seem to have the beenfits of a bicycle on New Zealander Invents Segway Alternative · · Score: 1

    it doesn't seem suited to be used on any terrain other than flat terrain. It looks like a bicycle but does not seem to have the same benefits. Bicycles have suspension that lets you lift the front wheel a few inches above the ground to get on elevated surfaces. This does not seem like it has suspension and even if it did, the steering handles are in an awkward position. What's the point of it, you're better off getting a bicycle that will do more and cost much less.
