  1. Re:Free OS's lead to greater profit. on Linux Lands Big Bank Account · · Score: 2

    Get with the program dude. Corporations need developers like you if you're willing to give them your work for free. True, they won't offer you free service in return, but think about the personal satisfaction you'll get by helping big corporations not pay for software :)

  2. Re:Gamecube is the console to get this season on Shacknews Holiday Game Guide · · Score: 2

    Well what exactly do you need? I have an XBox and I don't play FPS games, except for Ghost Recon if you count that as an FPS.

    I have Deathrow, NHL 2K3, Splinter Cell, Fatal Frame, Outlaw Golf, Blinx, Project Gotham Racing and Totaled!

    I'm considering getting a GC for Christmas to but only to get my hands on Mario Sunshine, Mario Party 4 and Resident Evil. Metroid is as overhyped as Halo.

  3. Then it becomes more like a Mac on More on Longhorn · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Tying hardware to software, isn't that what Apple already does? Isn't that why there marketshare keeps decreasing?

  4. I knew it on British To Release UFO Files · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's why they want to invade Iraq. Saddam Hussein is an alien.

    You know, it's called an ad. She did get paid though, unlike what the others said.

  6. Re:Is there an issue here? on Microsoft vs. Modded Xboxes · · Score: 2

    If there are too much cheaters, then the ranking system becomes useless.

    You have a modded XBox? Fine, you can play the game, as long as your mod is turned off. Why would you turn it on when online anyway?

  7. Re:Free Play on Microsoft vs. Modded Xboxes · · Score: 2

    Your XBox is left unused? Please ship it to me.

  8. Re:modders != cheaters on Microsoft vs. Modded Xboxes · · Score: 2

    Fair enough, so if you're not gonna use your mod chip to cheat, why exactly do you refuse to turn it off when on XBox Live?

  9. Re:Seriously... on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 2

    And exactly how many people use Battlecom, RogerWilco, TeamSound, etc.? And how many servers support them? From my experience, not many. That's the problem.

  10. Re:Headset play? on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 2

    I know but it's not included by default and therefore very few people use it. Also, it doesn't come close to the XBox Communicator.

    Nevertheless, if Roger Wilco was included by default in FPS games then I'll be happy.

  11. Re:Headset play? on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 2

    Absolutely, many online computer games need to have voice comm enabled, it'll rock. I find myself playing Unreal Championship instead of UT2003, why? Because with voice comm its much more fun even though the controls aren't as perfect as the keyb/mouse combo.

  12. Re:Dumping the price... on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 2

    PS2 too expensive? In here they both sell at $200 USD.

  13. Re:List Of Games Available Now on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 2

    MechAssault rocks and so does Unreal Championship and NHL 2K3 to.

    Whacked! is a crappy game though.

    EA Servers? Play NHL 2003 online or any other of there sports titles and then please come back to praise there servers :) $5.99/month for half-assed servers, pffff.

  14. Re:Seriously... on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 2

    Lag so badly? I have yet to experience any lag.

    Yes for $500 you can put together a PC that plays online games but the problem is that very few online PC games have voice chat enabled by default. It makes a big difference.

  15. Re:The Nokia Protection Act of 2003 on EU Considering Another MS Antitrust Suit · · Score: 2

    I agree completely. And no, I'm not American and I don't like Bush either.

    And the hardware?
    And the no-Aqua like themes allowed lawsuits?
    And all the closed source software that come with?
    Is iMovie Open Source? QuickTime?

  17. Let me get this straight on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You want people to use Open Source, yet you use a Mac? Can you get any more proprietary than that?

  18. Let me get this straight on Taiwan Asks Microsoft To Open Windows Source · · Score: 2

    They want MS to open up there secrets so they can better hide there own secrets? Anyone see the irony?

  19. what will happen to the Osbournes? on EU Anti-Hate Laws On The Web · · Score: 2

    I guess there TV show will never see the day in Europe :)

  20. Re:What A Difference It Can Make on EU Anti-Hate Laws On The Web · · Score: 2

    Is this a trap? They probably made laws that forbid the visit to such a hate filled camp.

  21. Well buy a new computer on Is Mac OS X Slow? · · Score: 2

    So what if it's slow? It's a new OS and you should buy a new computer for it. Why would anyone buy new hardware if everything works okay on there old machine? It just wouldn't make sense. I think Apple made a good decision on this one, although I'm not a fan.

  22. darn it on Sendo Can't Get Microsoft Source; Ditches Windows · · Score: 2

    I gave away my cellphone a couple of weeks ago, because I was waiting for the Smartphone to come out, it has some very nice features. To be honest, the only feature that I was looking forward to, was the one where XBox Live players could invite you to a game and if your XBox is not powered on, you'll receive the invite on your cellphone. I love that. I don't wanna miss out on the fun.

  24. Re:Pathetic state of things... on Microsoft takes on PDF · · Score: 3, Funny

    Funny because I see more Apple ads on TV than MS ads. Actually I rarely see MS ads on TV.

    They have a lot of power, so what? The government have a lot of power to and I don't see anyone complaining. Sony have a lot of power to.

    I'm sure MS stock goes down when they announce that Linux was deployed in such or such huge organisation instead of Windows.

  25. Re:Pathetic state of things... on Microsoft takes on PDF · · Score: 2

    And so you just assume that MS is wrong by doing this? How is it wrong to grow profits?
