  1. office suite? on Why Mozilla Needs To Pick a New Fight · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with Open Office?

  2. Re:The one they always overlook on The Time Travel Paradoxes of Back To the Future · · Score: 1

    The comments on the article mention this and give a mildly plausible explanation that while operating within the 4th dimension, things that exist in lower dimensions(like distance) can be made up for. The fact that the Doc never goes in to detail about what the flux capacitor does can be used as a way to explain this away

  3. Re:Steve Jobs has clout on Are Consumer Hard Drives Headed Into History? · · Score: 1

    Says who?

  4. Re:Wow on WikiLeaks Releases Cache of 400,000 Iraq War Documents · · Score: 1

    Which is a troll comment since it was not a political killing. Journalists attaching themselves to military groups, be it a standing army, insurgent force, or PMC, die all the time, and not because they reported against the wrong people. Put yourself in a warzone and your chances of dying increase dramatically.

    Who is not a journalist. We're talking about journalists/civilians here. Not heads of foreign govt or revolutionaries

    By company I meant country.

    It's too bad because they don't have the balls to attack countries that will kill them for doing it. They claim to be high and mighty about truth, but in the end they won't raise a finger against companies like Russia because they'll end up dead rather than with standing warrants and strongly worded letters.

  8. Re:sure thats cool on Blizzard Announces Final Diablo 3 Class, PvP Arena Battles · · Score: 1

    Correction, get BG and ID for the same price as Diablo 2 alone.

  9. Re:sure thats cool on Blizzard Announces Final Diablo 3 Class, PvP Arena Battles · · Score: 1

    At this point in time? Yes.

    You can get Baldur's Gate+expansion, Icewind Dale+two expansions, Fallout, Fallout 2, and Betrayal at Krondor all together for less money than for Diablo, Diablo 2, and expansion. Or get Baldur's Gate+expansion and Icewind Dale+two expansions for same price and have (much) more content for games as highly received as Diablo 1/2.

  10. sure thats cool on Blizzard Announces Final Diablo 3 Class, PvP Arena Battles · · Score: 1

    but what about releasing Diablo and/or Diablo 2 at a reasonable price rather than the full MSRP on Battle.net?

  11. so.. on Comic Sales Soar After Artist Engages 4chan Pirates · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This comic must be full of futa then?

  13. CoD? Pfft on Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty Black Ops Edition · · Score: 1

    Can I get a Starsiege: Tribes Wrangler? I might actually buy that.

  14. Re:California Taxes on Why Silicon Valley Won't Be the Green Car Detroit · · Score: 1

    1) Heavy industry is not popular. Correct. 2) No one is having water "brown outs" in CA. Valid concern in So Cal, but water isn't much of a problem in Nor Cal outside of Central Valley farming regions. 3) Major brownouts haven't occurred since we kicked Gray Davis' ass out of office 4) California is the shipping capital of the US. Plenty of consumer traffic, sure, but the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles(ahem, busiest in the US) are the primary destination for imported Asian cars. California is a poor choice for many reasons, but not for the ones you are spewing.

  15. Err, So Cal? on Why Silicon Valley Won't Be the Green Car Detroit · · Score: 1

    Silicon Valley has the flashy ones, but companies like Fisker that are pushing the envelope on the industry are expanding in So Cal. Production will almost always be elsewhere, though, since costs here are so ridiculous, especially for union labor.

  16. Re:Microsoft on Microsoft Unbundles Software For NY City · · Score: 1

    It's what I've seen across numerous CSU and CCC campuses. Maybe it's a CA thing

  17. Re:Microsoft on Microsoft Unbundles Software For NY City · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Well, at least he's right about Visual Studio(as far as Windows is concerned). The fact that the Express version is free AND comes with a free implementation of MSSQL only cements it in because it is the entry point, it's free, and it's what everyone uses in lower division college courses. No better way to lock in your market

  18. so far so good on Universal Sends DMCA Takedown On 1980 Report · · Score: 1

    Looks like YT hasn't taken it down yet, so that bodes well I guess.

  19. well, actually on Un-killable 'Evercookie' Killed ... Sometimes · · Score: 1

    It mentions mobile devices.. you could just use Skyfire and get flash without having to worry about flash evercookie issues since it's rendered remotely

    That's not how any of my friends use skype unless we're having a conference call/rolemaster session. Then it's just one webcam on the hex board. I don't need/want to see people when I call them

  22. domain helper? on Comcast Migrating Customers To DNSSEC Resolvers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Domain helper.. is that the crap that automatically relocates you to some ad serving search website when you input an unrecognized dns in the web browser? That kind of crap is why I switched to 4.1.1.1
