  1. You guys know that there are other things in life on You Got Your Windows In My Linux · · Score: 1

    ...That are more worth getting mad about than this, right?

  2. Re:I miss it. on Google Reader: One Year Later · · Score: 1

    I do too. I've been using CommaFeed and it's actually almost exactly the same, which is nice. It's simple but doesn't feel dumbed down like some of the other ones I tried.

  3. Re:No accounting for taste. on Was Watch Dogs For PC Handicapped On Purpose? · · Score: 2

    What about things like bloom and shadows? Those hardly make the game unplayable. Not to mention the fact that some of the people who ripped code out of the game found comments like "PC only -- Who cares?" and whatnot.

  4. These comments prove that /. is for old people. on High-School Star League Brings Gaming As Sport to Teenagers · · Score: 1

    Just saying.

  5. 911/119 on ITU To Choose Emergency Line For Mobiles: 911, or 112? · · Score: 1

    As others have said, that number was chosen because it is the hardest to dial accidentally or mis-dial. When numbers are right next to each other, it's a lot easier to mess up while dialing or to have a case of the hot dog fingers and accidentally dial the emergency number.

  6. I bet there will be many false alarms... on Do You Like Online Privacy? You May Be a Terrorist · · Score: 1

    Caused by people who are trying to look at pr0n.

  7. Re:Of course they are. on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    I like my 4000 DPI gaming mouse a lot... It's not the interface and menu speeds that I care about. This test is absolutely worthless. I would have liked to see a test that tested acceleration (or hopefully lack thereof) and accuracy instead.

  8. Re:Jack or Miranda on Balancing Choice With Irreversible Consequences In Games · · Score: 1

    This. Tali FTW.

  9. Re:Mass Eeffect 2 on Balancing Choice With Irreversible Consequences In Games · · Score: 1

    They REALLY hint at it, saying "I don't think you should do this until you're ready" and stuff like that... Pretty obvious that it's going to move the plot forward. I kinda know a lot about ME2's ploy, seeing as I have completed it ten times...

  10. Re:Mass Eeffect 2 on Balancing Choice With Irreversible Consequences In Games · · Score: 1

    Uh... There IS a cutscene that tells you that you need to go save your crew...

  11. Don't feel too bad, OP on Balancing Choice With Irreversible Consequences In Games · · Score: 1

    Because you probably DID kill off your characters. It's not hard to save everyone in Mass Effect 2 as long as you 1) Fully upgrade your ship and 2) keep everyone loyal. If you don't upgrade the ship, then people who aren't with you end up dying. If you take the people you care about with you (For me it's Tali and Garrus) then they won't die even if you don't upgrade the Normandy. If characters aren't loyal, they may die once you're actually in the collector base.

  12. Re:ping on Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    4Chan could do it though.

  13. Re:Well... on Google Releases New Image Format Called WebP · · Score: 1

    Also, in case you haven't noticed, cellular networks have been getting faster as well. I am not saying that people should start designing webpages using PNGs only and slicing them up... I am saying that if you upload a picture that is meant to be looked at, you don't want it to look terrible like a JPG or a WebP.

  14. Re:Well... on Google Releases New Image Format Called WebP · · Score: 1

    One should never try to view images on a phone. The only images I post online are either photographs taken by myself or computer screenshots, both of which would be terrible to browse on a phone. An ISP's job is to provide losers like me with more bandwidth. If they don't want to give us the amount of bandwidth we are paying for they can always throttle us and get sued... Also, the by the byte/MB/GB model will never catch on for residential or corporate customers. Mobile customers are used to being ripped off, but look how a la carte TV programming has turned out. A very small percentage of users actually want to have a variable bill.

  15. Well... on Google Releases New Image Format Called WebP · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Meh. I always use PNG anyway. With the advent of faster web connections, there is no need for more compression.

  16. Huh... on Bing Crosby, Television Sports Preservationist · · Score: 1

    Saw this on the front page today... First time I got news before most other people in a newspaper instead of online... :-P

  17. TIBASIC, anyone? on How To Get a Game-Obsessed Teenager Into Coding? · · Score: 1
