  1. Re:Wut? on Blizzard To Sell Level 90 WoW Characters For $60 · · Score: 1

    So... why does that number exist in the first place?
    Just remove levels and be done with the whole thing.

  2. Re:FTL Faster Than Light on Ask Slashdot: What Games Are You Playing? · · Score: 1

    Exactly why I stopped playing it.
    I'm a winner and I don't need a stinkin' game to prove me wrong :)

    ...And ONLY their IPv6 systems, I guess.

  4. Re:Chicken little on Whatever Happened To the IPv4 Address Crisis? · · Score: 2

    Interestingly enough, both Germany and Romania have a higher adoption rate.
    I'm from Romania and gave IPv6 a try. I have a router that allows both IPv4 and IPv6 connections at the same time, so I enabled both and worked like that for a while. For some unexplained reason, the IPv6 connection took a huge amount of time to get its IP (literally minutes) and after both connections were enabled, many things wouldn't work right. I experienced repeated loss of connectivity in pretty much all online games, Yahoo Messenger would randomly disconnect, Skype would randomly disconnect, Steam would go offline for 30 minutes in a row, Dropbox would lose connectivity, etc.

    Maybe IPv6-based PPPoE has issues, I don't know, but I was literally forced to disable it for my computers to work properly.

    Anyway, I would definitely not consider 6-7% as being a "successful" deployment. It's a start, but still a LONG way to go.

    Maybe all the downmods are coming from people like me, who come to /. for the articles and comments, not caring about site design, who owns what and political bullshit implications.
    I come here to see informative comments on the subject at hand and read relevant news. What you guys are doing is noise I loathe.
    It's like going to a cafe to have a good coffee and overhear interesting conversation about the soft volume music playing, and when owner decides to redesign the cafe's interior, some tards start screaming in my ear whenever a new song is played, just because they don't like the new paintwork.
    And when other patrons flag them as vandals, they come up with a "conspiracy theory".
    You and your kind are vandals in my opinion. You don't like the new cafe paintwork? Feel free to go to another or create your own. but please, leave me be. Allow me to read the articles and relevant comments.

    Agreed. While R&D certainly plays an important role, it lately churned out a clusterfuck of unnecessary IPs. The whole industry needs a good shakedown to wake to reality.

    If I lose this game what do I lose in life? Time.

    FTFY.

    Sometimes you also lose money.
    Anyway, the issue at hand here is a wee bit more complex than just "it's a game". You get mad because your mouse is shit, or Windows updates decides to bug you about a restart when that boss you've been grinding on for half an hour is at 5% HP, or internet connection goes poof, or game crashes. In MMOs, you rage at horrible RNG or evidence of class imbalance, or in some cases it's simply lack of fairness from game mechanics.

    It's not really about losing a game; it's about losing a game due to specific causes and/or for the umpteenth time. The frustration level builds up, and most times the root cause is the game itself: the way it's designed or coded.

    Not earlier than 6 months ago, I stumbled upon an ATM which was frozen in the process of booting up.

    Confirmed. I have a library of over 1000 movies, about 60 full TV Series and close to 10K music albums. Out of all, the only mild issue I have is when trying to find something in the music repository. PLEX search kind of blows, unfortunately.
    Furthermore, if you have thousands of albums in one place, scrolling down a lot yields weird behaviors.

    The fact that I wasn't rubbing my dick on /. 10 years ago doesn't prove shit anywhere except in that tiny brain of yours.
    Or maybe I posted as AC for years and years. or maybe I had another account. Or maybe I didn't care creating an account for a long time.

    But keep going with that retarded "ner-ner, your ID" mentality. It would be funny if it weren't sad.

    Most brand desktops (Dell, Lenovo, HP) have crappy PSUs which are rated 250W or less and can't support a separate GPU. I tried, even with the 650. Furthermore, in some cases the PSU form factor is non-standard, then what?

    My Corsair HX520 from home fuels GTX660Ti and 2 HDDs, i5 3570K CPU (overclocked) and so on. No problem there. But my work Lenovo at work doesn't even start when I plug the GPU in (GTX 660).

    Somehow you don't understand how modern graphics cards are working.
    If you don't plug in the extra juice, they do work, but in a limited mode and although I'm not 100% positive, that limited mode excludes 4K resolution by default. Kind of defies the point.
    Also you're talking of saving 200 USD after investing 1K. Not really a bright idea, is it?
