  1. Re:Apt Futurama quote on Northrop Grumman Says 'I'm Sorry' For Virginia IT Outage · · Score: 1

    The only "Do the right thing" share holders know is making the profit and lower the cost. If you can avoid settling stuff like that, do it. Think BP will pay a dime if it sees it can avoid it?

  2. Re:I don't need to buy the movies on Lost Star Wars Scene In the Wild · · Score: 1

    If I had mod points, you'd be it. Spike & Action. Recurring every few week end, this and Die hard.

  3. No shit on Google CEO Schmidt Predicts End of Online Anonymity · · Score: 1

    This guy & his crew have been working for over 10 years on making sure this happens, and he knows that when the Goverment will want that, they will be the only that will be able to provide it to that extent. What saddens me is that I'm sure he's not even saying the whole thruth, if he admits to this, it's probably worse than this. They probably already have everything they want to know about us & more, things we even don't know!

    Ever since I have seen an targeted ad for something I work on, something that anyone not working directly with it wouldn't know nothing about, I have changed my browsing habit. I clean the cookies every time I exit my browser, I erase history ,no FB account. I don't stay logged on, but there's probably more I can do still.

    This is not a trend I like at all.

  4. Re:Aah on 'Old School' Arcade Still Popular In NYC · · Score: 1

    Yay! The good old days! I remember going to the Arcades while my mother shopped, just looking at people playing since I didn't have any money. Tron, with the blue controller and box setting, robotron with two controller. moon patrol, centipede. Then When I grew up a bit, having a paper route allowed me to play a lot, games were different Skate, altered beast , afterburner , vigilante, xenophobia and so many more...it was a blast back then. After came the Street fighter 2 & mortal combat in my teens, so much quarters spent, but head-tohead match-up were the best, nothing beats the feeling of beating up a line of people waiting for you to destroy them! So much better than not seeing the face of the guys you're creaming!! The good old days. It was fun!

  5. mining on Why NASA's New Video Game Misses the Point · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because Eve online mining is so compelling! Yet, people suffer it to access rest of the game, so NASA just needs to put up space combat and aliens & we are set!

  6. Re:Resistance is Futile on Hardware Hackers Reveal Apple's Charger Secrets · · Score: 1

    Funny how not so long ago this applied to someone else! Can't wait to see how much further they will actually go ...or not!

  7. Re:How about... on School District Drops 'D' Grades · · Score: 1

    See also game sites that have a 1-10 rating for a game but never really use anything below 7.

    Yeah, I bet it has to do with possible lawsuit from game publisher. Small organization might be scared to either get the slapper or loose access to scoop or advance copies of games and such. Establish ones are more likely to give out bad review, at least in the past. Now, I'm sure some of them also make sure they don't piss off publishers or studio.

  8. Re:And Then What Will You Do With It? on Chatroulette To Log IP Addresses, Take Screenshots · · Score: 1

    ... What ever happened to the recognition software? Has that already fallen through? Too many false positives?

    My guess is too many people look like dicks...makes it hard to decipher!

  9. Nerd in life, bully on the net? on Nerds Still More Likely To Get Bullied · · Score: 1

    I can believe they both share common traits. When nerds are in the cyberspace, they let their inner bully out. How else can you explain those shitty game communities? ;)

  10. Re:It all comes down to $ on Blizzard Backs Down On Real Names For Forums · · Score: 1

    I agree, this is the only language companies like Activision understand, the rest all come in behind it. They don't give a hoot about you being bullied, but if that means you won't pay them, they have a problem with it. But, now they realize the will loose more by doing this, so they'll have to find a better way.

  11. Shocker! on Is PC Gaming Set For a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    So the wheel will complete its full circle until next console gen is release...Shocker. Coming up next, PC will die(Not really...) because of new gen of console until PC comes back, yet again, from the dead. Feels like groundhog day all over again. It all happened before and it will happen again, just ask Starbuck!!

  12. Re:Normally vs. Now on Ubisoft's New DRM Cracked In One Day · · Score: 1

    Agreed... Between this and Activision or EA buying out successful studio to turn them to the dark side or Steam that totally controls your all your games(I got my whole Steam library of games disabled for 2 weeks trying to correct a mistake made by PayPal, which has convinced me to steer clear of steam or the likes or create a new profile for every game) using it... It's really a wonder how someone keeps on just buying games instead of following the "Easy road". Seems like us legit customer are the ones getting it up. People pirating have such a easy access, it's sickening.

  13. Re:What emphasis on security? on Over Half of Software Fails First Security Tests · · Score: 1

    Nope... the only measure is cost...Anything else is secondary...

  14. Re:Applies to EverQuest EverQuest Everquest on Girl Gamers More Hardcore Than Guys · · Score: 1

    Almost agree. They only women I know that play MMO are housewife with kids going to daycare or school or all grown up. But they play WOW, not EQ. It's only 2 women, but my wife and the rest of the women I know just don't play MMOs. But those that do, have a lot more free time than any other MMO gamer I know.

  15. Video for drop outs on The Best Robots of 2009 · · Score: 1

    see why factory workers should be terrified for their job security.

    Actually, it's marvellous material to be showed to reluctant teens. Seeing that manual labour will most probably disappear in the next decades could help some of them...And you know what they say...if only one is saved ,the whole process would be worth it(Of course they will not take into account the others that will just loose faith in humanity).

  16. CRTC & Bell on Comcast Pays Out $16M In P2P Throttling Suit · · Score: 1

    16 millions might not be much for a big company like comcast and 16$ per user might not be much for 1 to receive, but at least your FCC didn't give it's blessing to full throttling like our CRTC gave to Bell. Bell owns the majority of infrastructure and if you are using any one company using DSL, you're being !&*^@ over by the monopoly Bell is...
