  1. Re:Where is the fun? on Are Games Getting Easier? · · Score: 1

    ME was a good game. ME2 was a pile of steaming colsolized shit. Bioshock 1/2 were terrible games hyped up with the 'wooo....woooooohoooo' awesome mantra.

    The last good fps that I played was AvP2, and that had great multiplayer especially with dynamic breeding(ie facehugger mode), and random queen generation.

    Phillips, and Sony both make tubes still. Most CRT's that you'll find come from china, but are pretty decent quality.

    Considering I can buy large sized CRT's(26-30") for the same price as a 19-22" LCD, I suppose it depends. SSD's will catch up to being cheap in several years, whether they'll be as reliable as current magnetic storage is another question altogether.

    Yes. They make consumer drives in the 30,40,60gb ranges.

    The last few HDD's I've bought have a 150G impact survival rating. So I'd say unless you're throwing the drive against the wall, it should be just fine.

    Look at India and Pakistan. Two countries at each other's throats for decades after they gained their independence, yet the moment the two got nuclear weapons, suddenly hostilities ceased.

    What? Are you insane? Pakistan nearly nuked india 4 years ago. And Pakistan regularly runs state(openly) supported black ops campaigns against india.

    Major backers of the mumbai attack? Pakistan, money funneled through their security agencies.

    That doesn't stop them from trying to rape you with licensing fees if they think there's any connection to the sheet music. If one industry pisses me off more then the music industry, it's the sheet music industry.

    Actually the drives were announced, and the stores around here dropped about $8 off the 1/1.5TB drives. I picked up a 1TB drive when it was on sale during the usual boxing week sale last year for $97. The same drive is now $54(on sale) and $61 regular, depending on the retailer.

    Tip 1: The right to freedom of speech in Canada is not absolute.
    Tip 2: S1, of the Charter limits all freedoms as deemed necessary.
    Tip 3: The right to peacefully assemble is valid in Canadian law. However you can be told where you may be assemble with large gatherings.

    Actually no he's not power tripping. Defamation of a public figure and suing over that is legal in Canada.

    Welcome to Canada post Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Then again most people outside of Canada, and most inside Canada have no clue how the law works here.

  21. Re:Switching from Openoffice to MS Office... on Why Microsoft Is So Scared of OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    Really all it means is that people who join the various standards associations, aren't following the rules that they themselves helped create. All documents created with the same standard should have +90% rendering compatibility across all apps. Unless one company which has a large paid market share refuses to follow the standards, in which case you get another case of "looks best with..." or "only renders properly with..." tag.

    End of the story is, either follow the standards you helped create or make it 100% proprietary so people know that they're getting into something which has next to no compatibility.

  22. Re:Switching from Openoffice to MS Office... on Why Microsoft Is So Scared of OpenOffice · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Probably has more to do with the fact the OO adheres to the document creation standards, and MS Office doesn't. Much like MS refuses to adhere to the HTML/XML standards while every other browser does, or has +95% adherence. All that means at the end of the day is MS is creating a market by not following standards that they said they'd adhere to.

    Big shock.
