    You're both wrong, the user is obviously an avid Monster Hunter.

  2. Re:Windows kernel still had global locks then? Wow on Windows 7 On Multicore — How Much Faster? · · Score: 0

    That's funny, I took what you were saying to suggest Windows users were innately less retarded than OSX users.

    If you left out your last line your post would have a completely different standpoint.

    Say you have 3 browser windows open, looking at 3 different websites.

    In one of the windows, go to a new website, like www.newwebsite.com. All the firefox browser windows will hang until the DNS query for www.newwebsite.com completes. Not only annoying, but pointless.

    Who the hell ever runs into that?

    Who was it the other week saying there wasn't an American lean to this site?

    Uh, no one? This site's flagrantly American. Unless otherwise stated; measurements, dialects, traditions, and locales are understood to be U.S. American.

    Was this on some pop-culture TV show recently?

    I've heard this retarded simile twenty times in the last week.

    theres no longer the option to hit win key then s to bring up the shut down menu since that now does seach start menu for stuff starting with s.

    Uh, hasn't it always been "U" to get the shutdown menu? Look for the underlined letter...

    It's kind of hard to google something like that, but I'm guessing it isn't somehow more lewd than the US/Halo equivalent.

    So the $700 cost savings (per your numbers) would save that person from being homeless if they lost their job? If $700 is all it takes to make that person homeless they shouldn't be buying ANY computer in the first place.

    Words fail me.

  9. Re:Not much chance of re-selling with a download on Why the Sony PSP Had To "Go" · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I think you really hit the nail on the head here. There is a pretty big market for reselling used games. With the PSP Go, not only are you restricted from reselling your used games but you are also locked into purchasing them from Sony's download service.

    Ars Technica published an excellent review on the PSP Go and why you should just stick with the standard PSP 3000.

    Not to mention you probably won't be getting a pleasant price drop in PSP game prices just because they're only available digitally now.

  10. Re:Providing free certificates on Thawte Will End "Web of Trust" On November 16 · · Score: 1, Funny

    Can some other trusted company, like Google, step in?

    I honestly can't tell if this was supposed to be funny or not.

  11. I saw Herbert! on What Belongs In a High School Sci-Fi/Fantasy Lit Class? · · Score: 0

    The Dune series is a personal favorite of mine and it's doubtful you'd progress far enough into the series during a single semester to see it begin to crumble towards the end. That's my vote.

    But please disregard those mentioning the likes of Fahrenheit 451 or 1984. A class like this needs to address works that won't appear in every English II course in the country already.

    I think it's important not to quash efforts to reduce idiotic Portal jokes, even if it means letting someone be a little rude.

    PCI-e 3.0 is just around the corner, as I understand.

    And if I'm not mistaken, its predecessor the 260 had only 2 2.0 ports, in-line with the ethernet jack on the back. The remaining ports were 1.1
