  1. Re:how about on Replacing Windows 8's Missing Start Menu · · Score: 1

    Win 98 with all updates was great

    No, it wasn't.

  2. Re:Jesus, stop being pathetic! on Linux Users Banned From Diablo III Servers · · Score: 1

    All this talk about beer is making me thirsty.

  3. Re:No ethernet... on Geekbench Confirms Ivy Bridge MacBook Pro and iMac · · Score: 1

    The Samsung Series 9 also got rid of a full sized gigabit ethernet port in favour of a proprietary (I think) mini port. The difference here is they included the adapter in the box. Regardless, I've had mine for two months and never used anything other than wireless.

  4. Re:Sceptic on Finally, a Shark With a Laser Attached To Its Head · · Score: 1

    Something tells me you're not putting your heart and sole into this.

  5. Re:Windows 7? Why not Ubuntu? on London Wires Up For 2012 Olympic Games · · Score: 1

    That's all irrelevant for me - I won't be going there at all because I couldn't get any bloody tickets from the stupid ballots.

  6. Re:My guess is.. on Steam Success Holding Up Half-Life Development? · · Score: 1

    Thanks, Captain Insightful

  7. Re:If they're so profitable on Valve Beats Google, Apple For Profits Per Employee · · Score: 1

    Mod parent informative. Although GP is nothing more than the usual "Steam DRM hurr durr" troll.

    What usually happens is that if you get VAC banned playing a game on a certain engine, you get VAC banned for all games using that engine. So for example, if you hack on CS 1.6 and get VAC banned, you would still be able to play on non-VAC servers as the parent rightly said, but you would be banned from playing on VAC-secured servers in CS 1.6 and all other GoldSrc multiplayer games. You would still be able to play on VAC-secured servers for games on the newer Source engine though (CSS, TF2, L4D etc)

  8. Re:Samsung Support on Samsung Unveils Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy S II · · Score: 2

    The Galaxy S has been better supported in Europe. We've had 2.2 since October, and 2.2.1 since January.

    Samsung has actually continually tried to release fixes for the GPS issue, but the more fixes they released the more they broke it. The 2.2 update fixed it for good.

    And Kies runs on my Win7 64-bit computer fine thank you very much.

  9. Re:Accident or intentional? on AT&T Sued For Systematic iPhone Overbilling · · Score: 2

    The easiest way to do a 100% foolproof test is leave an iPhone turned in in Airplane Mode. At least then you can definitely eliminate the possibility of looking for updates/mail/"rogue" data (I'm looking at you, Yahoo Mail on Windows Phone)

  10. Re:Lame on How To Use a Real Guitar With Rock Band 3 · · Score: 1

    The main difference there is that Guitar Hero/Rock Band games have been around for > 5 years, and Power Gig was released in October 2010. The mad rush for rhythm games has passed, and nobody will ever buy it.

  11. Re:Sweet on Mac App Store Apps Already Hacked · · Score: 1

    Inflammatory headlines? In my /. ?

    It's more likely than you think.

  12. Re:And this is news? on BBC Astronomer Misses Meteor During Live Show · · Score: 0

    The more interesting thing here is that this happened live on TV... THREE NIGHTS AGO. If this is indeed newsworthy, why is it only appearing today?

  13. Re:Everyone wins. on Android vs. iPhone — Who Wins In 2011? · · Score: 1

    Come on, Let me press end on a incoming call and send them a pre-composed sms... "Cant answer the phone, I'll call you back." Nokia has had that and advanced SMS management for years.

    While I don't disagree with you, I know for a fact that Android and even Windows Mobile 6.5 could do that.

  14. Re:Go Apple! on WikiLeaks App Removed From Apple Store · · Score: 2

    There's a local radio station that's constantly promoting "Want to listen live on your iPhone? Get our free app at Apple's app store!" Again, I don't get it. Can't you listen to the stream from their web site in Safari?

    Well, not if the stream uses Flash, which many radio websites do.

  15. Re:What if it doesn't exist? on LHC Prepares Marathon Higgs Hunt · · Score: 1

    I much prefer working with his partner, Oxide.

  16. Re:Suing for what exactly? on Racy Danish Tabloid May Sue Apple For App Rejection · · Score: 1

    Sounds like someone just wants come money and free publicity.

    I see what you did there.

  17. Re:More like Gmail than Wave on New Facebook Messaging System Announced · · Score: 1

    No, that would be from the acquisition of DocVerse earlier this year.

  18. Re:14mb for a mobile browser is sleek? on Firefox 4 Beta For Mobile Now Faster and Sleeker · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What an appropriate sig.

  19. Re:IE6 on Do Firefox Users Pay More For Car Loans? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I got a quote for -£240 using Lynx

  20. Re:Not just iPhone 4s on iPhone Alarm Bug Leads To Mass European Sleep-in · · Score: 3, Funny

    My Windows Mobile (6.5) phone alarm didn't go off at all.

  21. What's the issue? on Google Engineer Spied On Teen Users · · Score: 1

    What's the issue here? A guy in a position of power did bad things, then he got fired (and rightly so). This happens in all companies, and even in many positions of trust (teachers, childminders etc) - but as it's Google it's OMGSCANDAL

  22. Re:What? on Trojan-Infected Computer Linked To 2008 Spanair Crash · · Score: 1

    It doesn't say anything about Windows in TFA.

  23. Re:It'll be interesting... on A Windows Phone 7 For Every Microsoftie · · Score: 1

    I see wut you did thar.

  24. Re:"masses of bandwidth"? on OnLive Latency Tested · · Score: 1

    Virgin have a horrible throttling policy though, which, while it doesn't affect 50Mb customers, would make gameplay hell once the threshold is reached for anyone else.
