    I'll wreck your face.

  2. Re:Web != Facebook on Is It Worth Developing Good Games For the Web? · · Score: -1

    There's no such thing as beta anymore, thanks in no small part to Google. Just slap a "beta" tag on your software, never remove it, and absolve yourself of any resonsibility forever.

  3. Re:Skimming article text on Darkfall Set For Launch · · Score: -1, Insightful

    The game's setting is within the vacuum of outer space. I don't care how much content they add, it'll still be a whole lotta nothing and shouldn't take up much of your hard disc.

  4. Re:reverse the order on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: -1

    No, it's like buying a bicycle and then cramming a screwdriver into the break mechanism, and then complaining that it doesn't worked. They're hacked DLLs, maybe broken, maybe not, the article is so shitty who knows?

     

  5. Doesn't make any sense? on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: 0, Insightful
    Seriously, what is the article even saying? Not that is even an article to LINK to, but what the hell?

    the days of capturing an audio program on your PC seem to be over (if the program originated on that PC).

    Hunh?

    Does he mean capturing with an audio program? Does he mean that I can't use the same program to capture audio and then use as a player? What does this even mean?

    Under XP you could select 'Stereo Mix' or similar under audio recording inputs and nicely capture any program then playing. No longer.

    Again, wha??? Does this mean I can't rip a CD? Or that I can't do an audio mix? What hardware is this person using?

    Not that slashdot has ever been a paradigm of reporting, but to but one user's incoherent ramblings on the front page as news is just irresponsible. Wait until a semi-reliable tech sight posts something that makes sense, has some screen shots, and has a modicum of citation to back it up. I mean, holy shit.

  6. I'm tired of subscription-based service on Internet Killed the Satellite Radio Star · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I had satellite radio, but ended up ditching it along with a few other things. We decided that we were being economically bled to death my numerous little services, none of which were too bad individually but collectivity they ate up our budget.

    - Sirius
    - DishNetwork
    - Land-line telephone
    - Internet service
    - MMO fees
    - Cell phone
    - GameTap
    - FilePlanet

    The list goes on. Eventually we were able to eliminate, consolidate, or reduce many of these fees. We safe a lot of money each month now. I now try and avoid anything that has a recurring monthly service, at least not unless it replaces something else. Business should realize that, in these tough economic times, people are going to take a hard look at where there money is going. Month payments don't have an end in sight, there's no payoff.

  7. Re:Hi on Bruce Perens On Combining GPL and Proprietary Software · · Score: -1, Funny

    Thank you for your support. In answer to your question, though it was undoubtedly facetious, let's just say that I have a special working relationship with several of the moderators. You could, too, if you meet certain criteria. Please email me some code samples and a few pictures of yourself, preferably pictures of you at your computer. Don't be embarrassed if the only pictures you have of yourself are without any clothing, that's fine by me. I'll consider your potential and email you or IM you back. No creeps or minorities, please.

    Taking my girl friend to a movie costs me $20 now and I only get 90 minutes out of it.

    For $20 I get 15 minutes out of your girlfriend in the backseat of a car.

    They shouldn't, other than the very basics required to keep a society in tact. We're on the fast track to socialism.

    I am very fond of many of the posts you made to the forum. I would like to continue communication with you even though the site is down. I do hope that you have more pictures of yourself with bananas stuffed up your asshole.

    Add-on peripherals for consoles are never successful. It if isn't in the console's box, don't build a game around it.

  16. Re:Wow on Windows XP Still Outselling Windows Vista · · Score: -1

    Oh please, I tire of this ridiculous and I've already seen it several times for this article. Look, Linux is a damn fine OS. And it can be a reasonable substitute for Windows IF you qualify PC use as "web, email, word processing and music." I can make a really fucking long list of shit I can't do with Ubuntu that I can do with Windows. And don't give me that Wine emulation bullshit, because that isn't realistic.

    - Play Call of Duty 4
    - World of Warcraft. Using my 360 controller so that I relax my big fat ass with my feet up.
    - use X-Fire to find all my gaming friends.
    - Run my boyfriend/lifepartner's gradebook for school.
    - use AutoGK to compress all my porno movies to share on shady websites.
    - Play GameTap
    - Run 3DMark benchmarks
    - Get SLI to work
    - Have up to date video drivers
    - Get any of that shitty video software that came with my digital camera to run.
    - Use NetFlix video on demand.
    - Use SnapStream Beyond TV as either a client or server. MythTV?! Fucking PUH-LEEZE. I want to watch TV, not fuck around with confuration files all fucking day.
    - Pretty much run any fucking piece of software that's been released in the past 10 years. Yeah yeah, I know there's always an open source Linux equivalent, but you know what? It's not as fucking good!! EVER!! My CD copying program works great, my DVD copying program works great, my fucking everything under windows works fucking great. If I have a problem with the Linux shitty rip-off, I can pray that maybe the three other mutherfuckers who are using it have the same problem and maybe it will be fixed in about 100 years.
    - Same thing goes for hardware. IF it works, it'll be missing half the fucking features it has under Windows.

    So, enough of this bullshit. People use Windows because they do things with their computers. Only slashdot fags "use" an operating system. People want to do things, and they do it with software, and that software is on Windows. So eat a turd instead of posting that OMG Linuxx rulx!! bullshit next time, k?
