  1. Re:Market pressures. on Hard Drive Shortage Relief Coming In Q1 2012 · · Score: 1

    Yeah it was great when my HD failed and I am now still limping along with a stupid noisy drive I had for back up. Can't wait for the prices to drop. Yay, what a good thing.

  2. Re:And money changes hands... on Adblock Plus To Offer 'Acceptable Ads' Option · · Score: 1

    Weird, I guess since I use noscript and adblock I never see the "huge ass banner". Yup, made some allowances and yikes. Turn that stuff of right now again. I do allow ads on forums I frequent. Mostly I guess it is because they are relative to my interests.

  3. Re:using a boot CD on AVG 2011 Update Causes Widespread Problems For 64-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    Wine seems to have a problem with punkbuster. Meaning at least for me last year, no CoD MW1 online.

  4. More beer on Budapest Panorama, at 70GP, Now the World's Largest Digital Photo · · Score: 1

    Bah! I liked it and I guess I had silverlight installed. Some drunk night? Anyways, I think the picture is pretty cool. Makes me think I am in some movie crime lab and can zoom in to read a license plate on a car I could not see to begin with. Well of course I still need my depixelator.

  5. Re:Why it was made big on The 'Back' Button the Most Clicked Firefox Icon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ahhh wow, I never tried that middle mouse button... damn that is nice. You just opened up a new world for me and I have been using FF for years. Learning is fun.

  6. Oh whew... on Man Smuggles an Amazing Amount Into Jail With His Portable Hole · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thankfully that picture is not related to the actual article. It kinda of scared me, I though they arrested goatse.

  7. MTX client sucks. on MechWarrior 4 Free Release Now Available · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those of you that hate the MTX client. Download the torrents and rename the extension from .mtx to .zip No need to "install", the zip opens up to a functional game. Just unzip to where you want it and then apply the patches manually(kind of like oblivion/fallout3 mods). Here are the torrents if you wish to skip the MTX client hell. (via reddit) Main file: http://www.pwned.com/dz/mechwarrior4mercenaries.all.to.51.03.01.0017.mtx.torrent Patches: http://www.pwned.com/dz/mechwarrior4mercenaries.51.03.01.0018.to.51.03.01.0020.mtx.torrent http://www.pwned.com/dz/mechwarrior4mercenaries.51.03.01.0017.to.51.03.01.0018.mtx.torrent I have not tried this yet but there is a mod for the game Crysis that pretty much turns it into a MW game. http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/ Probably still a bit buggy but I am sure it looks a lot better.

  8. Re:I'M CAPTAIN BASCH FON RONSENBERG OF DALMASCA on RPG Heroes Are Jerks · · Score: 1

    Michael Emerson was in that video...? I guess he is from Pennsylvania.

  9. Re:LIFE Magazine Also? on Popular Science Frees Its 137-Year Archives · · Score: 1

    Thank you very much!! I was wondering how to search em out that way. Just never spent the time to figure it out.

  10. Morans on Students Charged With Felony Snowball Throwing · · Score: 1

    Okay these two are complete morons but a felony charge? I think that is a bit much. 100 days community service with a misdemeanor charge.

  11. Kill it with fire on GM Is Selling Saab To Spyker Cars · · Score: 1

    So now a crappy ugly car gets built buy a car company that make ugly fast cars....

  12. oh...oh, nevermind on Duke Nukem 3D Ported To Nokia N900 · · Score: 1

    Jeez I see duke nukem on a /. headline and think "WHAT!" don't tease me anymore. Then I realize it is for some stupid phone and some game that I played many years ago, not going to do it again. Piss of Duke, I am done with you.

  13. Happened in china some time ago also. on Gigantic Spiral of Light Observed Over Norway; Rocket To Blame? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This was posted a few months ago but I have no idea when it happened. Look similar... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixLE3iuszbU Just skip to 35 seconds unless you can speak Chinese.

  14. Re:In Smaller Markets, Kijiji Dominates on eBay vs. Craigslist Courtroom Fisticuffs Start Today · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wow, in my town of around 30,000 and the surrounding town where the sites actually point to(Total pop just over 100,000). There is nothing on kijiji. Craigslist dominates here for sure. When the site was launched I heard about it but soon forgot. Heck there is even an auction site based out of my town and I can't find anything on it, worse than kijiji here as far as users. Just my experiences, ya know, not scientific.

  15. Re:Pointless hype on How Does the New Google DNS Perform? (and Why?) · · Score: 1

    Just ask yourself one question, if you don't trust your internet provider enough to do DNS correctly, should you trust them at all?

    Well no and yes. I just really hate the redirects and would prefer to use something like OpenDNS.That and I have a feeling that OpenDNS is more proactive in filtering fishing sites. Do I really care? No, it was just easy to switch so I did. Should this be big news? Hell no. Now would I use GoogleDNS if there was no other options. Maybe I would, I mean I primarily use google to search, it's not like they don't know what I am doing most of the time from that. It is easier for me to type youtube in the search then click the link as apposed to finding it in my favorites or typing all those letters in the address bar.

  16. Re:Whodathunk on Virgin Galactic Unveils SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Machinist, then an engineer from what I can tell. The things you might expect. I got Ford and the history of the Daisy BB gun confused. Buy a wind mill get a free air rifle. Sometimes Coffee is a better choice than beer.

  17. no thanks on Google Launches Public DNS Resolver · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I will still use my free http://www.opendns.com/ servers. The only redirect you get is a search page with is this what you mean. Other than that it will still try and get you where you want to be while also blocking a variety of sites, by your own choosing.

  18. Re:joystick vs k&m on Toyota Experimenting With Joystick Control For Cars · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows a good Logitech G27 wheel will be the best upgrade option, force feedback FTW

  19. Re:All things old... on Warez Moving From BitTorrent to Conventional Hosting Services · · Score: 1

    For me, the death of dial up with a free newsgroup service killed it. Now I have to pay...? Bah, screw that, why pay when... ah never mind.

  20. Video memory stress test. on Software To Diagnose Faulty PC Hardware? · · Score: 1

    Works great for testing your video cards ram. http://mikelab.kiev.ua/index.php?page=PROGRAMS/vmt_en I have found the program on other sites but that is where it came from.

  21. ehh on Apple Takes Action Over Australian Logos · · Score: 3, Funny

    Looks more like a peach to me. Anyways... really Apple you have to go after that? I would never have seen the similarity if you did not point it out. Of course that similarity is like drinking fancy beer then after reading the label you think ... yeah it does taste like a ripe banana with clove spices. /.Kellerwies is a happy beer, wait this feels wrong.
