  1. Re:Wing Commander remake on EA Looking Into Reviving Classic Games? · · Score: 1

    All they need to do is upgrade the graphics/engine to modern standards. Otherwise the game is fantastic. Even by todays standards the game itself excels.

  2. Re:And what Bedrock is doing *IS* professional?? on Patent Trolls Target Small East Texas Companies · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They are lawyers, it's a given that they are crooks.

  3. It would have to be a parody on Sam Raimi To Direct World of Warcraft Movie · · Score: 1

    Now, a movie that I would see. People getting ganked for begging. Gold farmers going toe to toe with legitimate people. Constant bitching between peasants. Parties falling apart because the only tank as to go clean his room.

    It would be a riot.

  4. Re:And it was a good rationale... on Computerized Election Results With No Election · · Score: 1

    All tanks, even the most modern tanks are vulnerable to fire. Molotov cocktails, and home made thermite would do wonders.

  5. Re:So Impeach Him on Computerized Election Results With No Election · · Score: 1

    Stealth bombers have a limited operational limit. They were created during the cold war when they were expected to carry nuclear arms, the conventional payload is pathetic.

  6. Re:Translation on Examining the HTML 5 Video Codec Debate · · Score: 1

    Your iAttitude doesn't show the proper level of respect for Steve Jobs iPenis. I suggest you straighten up before you are sent to iRe-education camp.

  7. Re:Is there a cross assembler? on Source Code of Several Atari 7800 Games Released · · Score: 1

    Here http://www.6502.org/tutorials/6502opcodes.html

    the long hand stuff are just remarks

  8. Re:this is Marketing 101 on On the Expectation of Value From Inexpensive Games · · Score: 1

    It's all in the perception of value. It seems that the majority of people seem to equate price with value. So, the higher the price the more value they place on the object or service. Take Wal-Mart, for example. It usually sells items cheaper than the local competitors, but everyone regards the items sold there as cheap chinese made crap, for the most part. Even though the majority of the items are the exact same thing the competitors sell at a higher price, they are viewed as flawed in some way.

  9. Re:Value is asserted, not assessed. on On the Expectation of Value From Inexpensive Games · · Score: 1

    I noticed the same thing in my service business. When I raised rates, I got more business. People perceive more value in the higher price for some reason.

  10. Obligatory on What to Do With a $99 Wall Wart Linux Server · · Score: 1

    I can't wait till someone installs Linux on it, and creats a beowulf cluster!

  11. Re:Starting? on ASCAP Starts To Act Like the RIAA · · Score: 1

    They have a point. At some time, somebody is bound to play an F, G, or any number of chords which simultaneously violates the copyright of all their artists... even those that get a whopping $6.80 a year out of them.

  12. ASCAP would be just the start on ASCAP Starts To Act Like the RIAA · · Score: 1

    If he paid up to ASCAP, every fly by night 'licensing' operation would be running each other over in order to extort money out of him.

    It's a no-win situation.

  13. Re:Awesome on The Pirate Bay Seeks Interesting Route To "Pay" Fine · · Score: 1

    They are operating within the letter, if not the spirit, of the law.

  14. Re:SlashFark on Repairman Steals Hard Drive And Charges To Reinstall It · · Score: 1

    You are completely right. Up untill today, Slashdot has been the paragon of anti-snark.

  15. Re:which state(s)? on The End of Tax-Free Internet Shopping? · · Score: 1

    My question is... Will they do this with catalog sales? Just because it's done with electronics instead of dead trees doesn't make it different.

  16. Here's the only way on How Do I Provide a Workstation To Last 15 Years? · · Score: 1

    Get a new case, gut it out, literally. Hinge the front panel on one side so that it can be opened. Put ya some sort of document holding system in there so he can store folders in it. Viola! A 10 to 15 year computer... of sorts.

  17. Re:that was fast on Designer Accused of Copying His Own Work By Stock Art Website · · Score: 1

    ----------
        "C" is still sitting on an invoice, a paid receipt, a signed (electronically, probably) contract saying that they own the photos.

            Who do you believe? The person that you've done business with, or a third party?
    ----------

    There's no excuse for possession of stolen goods. Which is what they have, stolen goods.

  18. Re:Funny on ATI, Nvidia Reveal New $250 Graphics Cards · · Score: 1

    "There doesn't need to be a conspiracy or collusion for 'price fixing' for 2 similar products to have the same price point."

    There, fixed that for you.

  19. Re:What about Bavarian Dance Hero? on Alpine Legend Revolutionizes Music Game Genre · · Score: 1

    Because it's for the Wii, duh! How else will it be able to track your movements?

  20. What about Bavarian Dance Hero? on Alpine Legend Revolutionizes Music Game Genre · · Score: 1

    I've been waiting on this for the Wii. It will come with wireless lederhosen, a busty wench, and a complimentary beer keg.

  21. It's not a young mans game on With a Computer Science Degree, an Old Man At 35? · · Score: 1

    Older, seasoned programmers will always do better than younger unseasoned programmers. It's a matter of knowledge, and skill. Older people always beat the younger, less knowledgeable, any day of the week.

    Now, where it does make a difference is in the pay scale. Companies can always pay a younger person less than an older person, and work them to death because the younger person doesn't know any better yet. That's where they get you. Oh, the younger will talk about 'mad skillz', or doing it because you love it. They don't realize that their skill really aren't that 'mad', except perhaps as in nuts, and love only pays if the person is a whore. HR doesn't care how good you are if you are older, they just know that you will 'cost more' because they can't work you 80+ hours a week, pay you less, and treat you like shit.

  22. Re:Is this test legal in the US...? on Dealing With a Copyright Takedown Request? · · Score: 1

    Untrue. I'm an atheist, and I couldn't give less of a fuck if you wish to believe in a fairy tale of an invisible sky wizard. If you need some sort of superstition hanging above you in order to be a better human being, then so be it. It doesn't effect me at all in the slightest.

  23. Re:Insult to atheists everywhere on Battlestar Galactica Comes To an End · · Score: 1

    You know, they did it just specifically to piss you off. If I were you, I'd write them a strongly worded letter.

  24. Re:Holy shit! There's a lawyer in the White House! on Obama DOJ Sides With RIAA · · Score: 1

    There, FTFY.

  25. Re:If you didn't vote libertarian, you ASKED FOR T on Obama DOJ Sides With RIAA · · Score: 1

    Only two candidates? Are you so fucking retarded that you can't make a choice from more than the two that are presented to you by the MSM?
