    I don't know about you, but my default install is plenty enough to get someone pregnant.
    Whether the user experience is as satisfying is another story.

    Oh wow.
    I guess I did. I just stole that from a Dorkly article.
    Huh.

  3. Re:She's your sister .. on Profile of a Real-Life Jedi Academy · · Score: 1

    The Jedi's have to take a vow of abstinence because love is the way to the dark side. They are not really a very good religion if you consider how they held back the Republic in terms or technological advancements. The Empire put them further along in technology then the Republic did in several thousand years, mostly because of the influence of the Jedi's. So, yeah.

    Fairly obscure reference. Good. Good.

  5. Re:The Cloud on Sony To Delete Virtual Goods · · Score: 1

    I am going to have to point out that a Netflix-type service was a terrible comparison. For $7 or $8 a month, it pays for itself with literally the first movie (assuming $10 for a DVD movie) and you keep benefiting from there. If your in the US you're golden, but even still the Canada selection is awesome and it simply is worth the money if you have a high or unlimited bandwidth internet service.

    Even if you don't have the best internet service, the tiny subscription price is still cheaper than the gas to pop over to the local video store, considering it is a 2 way trip to pick-up/drop-off.

    From your experience, you sound like someone who does prefer to collect the physical copy given the tone of your post. So in this case I would say it would still be beneficial because you wouldn't have to crack open that video and make it into much more of a pristine collection if that title is available on Netflix or whatever.
    The only downside is DVD extras aren't available I suppose.

    It's a bit bloody loud, isn't it? Ah well, need to start somewhere I suppose. At least this wasn't a tethered demo.

  10. Re:You know why they call it Xbox 720 on Xbox 720 Might Reject Used Games · · Score: 1

    You're thinking of it the wrong way. People buy consoles with the intent of buying used games later, for cheaper. Very few people I know will get a title at launch and would rather wait the 6 or so months when it drops to about $30 used while the price new is still $60.

  11. Re:Name on Foreign Data Unsafe From US Patriot Act, Says American Law Firm · · Score: 1

    No one calls it by that though because it is stupid. It's much simpler to say "the Patriot Act".

  12. I see the trick! on Microsoft Pushes For Gay Marriage In Washington State · · Score: 4, Funny

    They want to legalize it so that in the Windows 8 EULA they can legally marry anyone, and if you install another OS it'll be considered cheating and they can divorce you and take half your stuff!
    It's a new form of vendor lock-in.

    Those clever bastards.

  13. Re:Security on PS4: What Sony Should and Shouldn't Do · · Score: 1

    Are you serious? I took something like 6 years to see any hacking on the PS3, and even now it is still weak and has only lead to one custom firmware.

    Or are you speaking more from an online perspective, which they have already fixed?

  15. Re:rule based on current precedents, not future on on Judge Doesn't Care About Supreme Court GPS Case · · Score: 1

    From what I understand, the common action is to wait until te decision is made, so that as another /.'er said, the case doesn't have to be reviewed or appealed wasting even more time and money.

  16. Re:Free market for the win on Will Firefox Lose Google Funding? · · Score: 1

    Most of those are available in some form fro Chrome, either in a port or based on the same idea. Greasemonkey scripts are supported directly by Chrome and require no extension to use. What remain that aren't available will be if Mozilla continue down this path of being a pain to users.

    As far as I know (which ain't far) Bell and Rogers own the lines, while everyone else leases them. I also believe the majority is Bell lines anyway.

    This is great. I pay ~$40/month for TechSavy, 25mbps down, 5mbps up, and unlimited bandwidth. Bell and Rogers offr nothing close to that.

    Screw you Major ISP's! We paid for you to put in the lines, you should be able to pay for the upgrades yourself!

    In that case, I would recommend the Plop Boot Manager:
