  1. Re:Strange, some acoustic guitar riff ... on Julian Love, Lead Technical Artist for Diablo 3 · · Score: 0

    This track brings back some serious memories. I guess this is my first acid flashback. I sat with a friend on LAN play for a 12-hour stint of Diablo once while on acid. We'd be down in the dungeons, and coming back this guitar riff through a hastily-cast town portal felt like coming home. Which, I suppose, was the point. The gameplay of simply clicking everything is probably the only reason we were able to play it. Offtopic: Where the hell is the 'hide behind cowardly anonymity' button?

  2. Re:Who is this for, really? on The PlayStation Move Arrives — a Hands-On Report · · Score: 0

    DVD players have been around far longer than Blu-Ray players. I bought a Wii because it was much cheaper at the time, and looked to have more kid-friendly titles. I was right, and the kids love it, and I've now bought a PS3. I'll probably pick up the Move once it has a semi-decent library of games. However, while it's true the Wii doesn't play DVDs, it's not why I bought the system. The PS3 IS a Blu-Ray player in addition to a gaming console, so that's just one more thing to sweeten the deal without paying the same price for something that plays video discs, but not games (as in, standard Blu-Ray player). Blu-Ray, for me, was a purchase consideration. I don't think it's as simple as "consoles that have motion controls" when buying a console. The fact that the Wii already has this, and Sony and Microsoft realized users want this, is the reason these companies are scrambling to jump on the bandwagon. The PS3 does far more than the Wii in just about everything. I just got one recently, and am pretty amazed at what it can actually do. The Move is just more icing on an already delicious cake.

    It's two mints in one!

  5. Re:X-Ray glasses on Library of Congress Opens Records of Anti-Comic Book Shrink · · Score: 0

    Yes, and it made me think, "X-ray glasses, so I can see their skeletons? That's...not very sexy."

    Those several tens of thousands of CFLs didn't fall on his head simultaneously, either.

    Or, you could just check the network.

  8. Re:Can't...imagine...caring... on 76% of Web Users Affected By Browser History Stealing · · Score: 0
    I know it's TFA (note: did not read TFA either, but at least I know the issue being discussed), and you couldn't possibly be bothered with reading it, but here goes...

    What if one passes you through a page that puts your login token in a page URL at any point in time?

    Since this vulnerability requires that the link displayed on the page be the same as the one in your browser history, the Bad Guys would already have had to know your login token. All this does is check your "history" (visited sites) against a predefined list of sites. I doubt it would be feasible to, say, brute force someone's session ID without tipping them off that something is going wrong.

  9. Re:Two senses of "closed." on Flash Is Not a Right · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm not the AC poster, but I agree. Fuck off. Posts get modded up because they contain useful information. This melange of accusations and vitriol doesn't quite count.

  10. Re:welp. on iPad Is Destroying Netbook Sales · · Score: 1

    No 4G, less space than a netbook. Runs proprietary app store. Lame.

    At least now, Steve Jobs is trapped in a crummy world of plot holes and spelling errors.

    Print shop copiers != business copiers. Our Canon all-in-one device does all the crap you said yours didn't, including a full reprint of every document stored on the machine.

  13. Re:Who do I cheer for /.? on Interactive Exercise Company Sues Nintendo For Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    When they release system updates to prevent projects like WiiBrew from enabling homebrew hackers, we hate them. When they are the victim of patent trolling, they have our brief, sarcastic sympathy.
