  1. Re:At least I know why I'm paying for on Live now on Codemasters Shuts Down GRID Online Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    That's because MS is hosting the servers. Of course, when MS feels like they don't want to host them anymore, they will go away, like with Shadowrun.

    The first was already answered and the second is a bunch of bullshit for the majority of cases.

    And they'll also see me at the baseball field coaching my son's little league team in front of 50 witnesses. And that I was at work 2 hours earlier and it takes more than 2 hours to get to Vancouver from my location. etc

    I'm honestly not worried one iota about that type of scenario. Framing someone doesn't just happen on the internet. There are a million reasons why it rarely works, and the internet provides better tracking to prove your whereabouts than analog life.

    Exactly. Someone hacks my Slashdot password, maybe gets access to a few other worthless sites, nothing of value was lost. Someone posts impersonating me? Oh noes. Having a worthless password for worthless sites is not a problem. It doesn't make you any closer to having the login credentials for my bank, the online stores I use, and other sources that would have actual personal information.

  6. Re:A link to the actual press release on US Pays $2B To Develop Concentrating Solar Power Projects · · Score: 1

    Problem is that these projects might not even get off the ground. There are environmental challenges in state and federal courts about the locations of these and the harm they cause to local wildlife. The Mojave project has already lost one battle and been forced to move to a secondary location. No Senator or Rep is going to touch it until it gets past green hurdles, and it probably won't given the strength of that lobby in CA.

    Well, HL/CS players aren't "old" pros, more like middle aged. With HL it's more of a game design/input issue that makes it different from normal quake based games. For standard quake engine games there is no need to game the system, as it has plenty of give for single button bunnyhop action(Q2 was the best for this, ActionQuake2 had the physics of it down perfectly)

  8. recession has nothing to do with it on Is This the Golden Age of Hacking? · · Score: 0

    Most of these hackers are from foreign countries, and many of them are on government payrolls. Recession impact? Nah.

  9. Re:Oh, no on Obama: 'We Don't Have Enough Engineers' · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that we should all be tax lawyers and accountants instead of engineers?

  10. Re:Easier on PC Gaming's 10 Commandments · · Score: 1

    Well, when you deal with console devs it works a bit differently(sorta). They do in-house QA and such, but the games get sent to Sony/MS/Nintendo for QA prior to release. Essentially, your finished game product playtesting is being done by a 3rd party that doesn't give you that kind of feedback.

  11. dev console and ingame server browser on PC Gaming's 10 Commandments · · Score: 1

    Thou shalt provide a dev console in game with real commands that will have effect on the fly.
    Thou shalt not restrict the player to only the horrific in-game server browser.

    Looking at you BFBC2(among others).

    Steam is like a vasectomy. It's intrusive and it looks like it will hurt a ton, but in reality it's painless and not a big deal.

    There are also different methods of antialiasing that can be applied.

    Also try bunnyhopping without it. Hell, try shooting the RL. I can't shoot RL in QW without jumping, it's engrained.

    The future is multiplatform? They said that with Java, too, then they realized how goddamn slow it was.

  23. include mobile? on Internet Explorer Use Slips Below 55% · · Score: 1

    Is this just desktop numbers or are they including mobile? With the huge rise in people actively using mobile browsers(the majority of which are not MS), it could just be a case of the numbers being skewed because of these new devices and that all people really care about is what is easy to get to and use. They may still have IE only on their PC, but they just don't use it because they're surfing from their couch.

  24. Re:Rubbish on Bubble Bursting On the MMO Market? · · Score: 0

    You don't have to, but it's the most obvious. Actually, the way to make money right now is to hoard PLEX bought on the market as prices go up a bit. ARUM will probably raise PLEX prices further. PLEX was ~330m or so a few months ago, now it's closer to 400m and seems to be continuing to trend upwards as CCP releases more news about future releases
