  1. Re:Innovation on McCain Answers Science Policy Questionnaire · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but you know as well as I do he's not talking about shuttle plans or widgets.

  2. Anecdote: on SQL Injection Turns BusinessWeek Into Viral Replicator · · Score: 1

    I don't think any of the managers where I work, up to & including the Owner / President, have an MBA. We are an engineering firm that has been around for 25+ years.

  3. Re:I defend not what you say... on Virginia Supreme Court Strikes Down Anti-Spam Law · · Score: 1

    Replace email with phone call & spammer with telemarketer & marvel at how stupid you sound.

  4. Re:Now we know who's been Bogarting the Sativa on Best Buy + Windows Guru = Apple Store Experience? · · Score: 1

    And all this time I thought it was called indo because it was grown "indoors"!

  5. Re:Only 20%?? on One In Five Employers Scan Applicants' Web Lives · · Score: 1

    & MySpace does the same as well.

  6. CODA on Online Storage With a Twist · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sounds like it's a CODA file system with encryption & less robustness (single master server)

  7. Re:Wag the dog on Senator Questions Rise In US Texting Prices · · Score: 1

    At 37,000 ft it would still make the air too thin to breathe after a short time.

  8. Re:Wag the dog on Senator Questions Rise In US Texting Prices · · Score: 1

    The reason you don't shoot a firearm in a plane is depressurization.

    In either case, air marshals *do* carry firearms onto commercial planes.

  9. Re:And we're suprised by this why? on Senator Questions Rise In US Texting Prices · · Score: 1

    The difference is the water out of the fountain is damn near undrinkable here.

  10. Re:So much hate... on Research Finds Carbon Dating Flawed · · Score: 1

    "The only thing necessary for the triumph of the stupid is for smart men to do nothing."

    -With apologies to Edmund Burke.

  11. BEHOLD.... on Automated News Crawling Evaporates $1.14B · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... the power of the GOOG!!

  12. Re:What I want is more simulation on A WoW Player's Guide To Warhammer · · Score: 1

    I've already seen everything you listed, except for the last one, done in NWN persistent worlds.

  13. Wow on 24 Hour Laptops From HP? · · Score: 1

    If it even gets half of that under normal use, I'll be very impressed.

  14. Re:p2p != illegal on University of Michigan Student Wants SafeNet Prosecuted · · Score: 1

    "You cannot get the answer to legal questions by engaging in logic."

    Which seems to be a good part of why this country is so screwed up to start with.

  15. Re:Me no want 'quests'.. on Quests · · Score: 1

    This wouldn't be very hard to do in the Unreal Engine & I think there are already some zombie survival worlds like this for NWN using the d20 Modern System.

  16. Re:Are Quests in MMOGs doable? on Quests · · Score: 1

    There is a Bag of Holding mod for Oblivion, its great because it allowed my PC to actually make some money because I can actually sell everything that I pick up.

  17. Current Fave on Quests · · Score: 1

    My current favorite quest for any game / any genre is the "haunted hotel" quest in Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines. Talk about a spooky-ass quest. They used the Half-life 2 engine to it's fullest potential on that one, shame the game changes from an RPG to an FPS at the end.

  18. Re:It's a pretty good game... on Review: Spore · · Score: 1

    The Shaman perk lets you come back to your homeworld from any planet in the galaxy.

  19. Re:Forget the stupid DRM on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I've tried it on multiple official Sony cards PS1 & PS2 as well as a MadCatz card. It won't even save as a file on an emulator either.

  20. Re:I hope it kills it in time to save Dragon Age. on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    Make sure you skip NWN2 as well, it's got the DRM blues too.

    The DRM on the next expansion is supposed to be especially harsh.

  21. Re:Forget the stupid DRM on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    The game saves just fine when you are in the Galaxy or Solar System view.

    Offtopic & speaking of games that won't save, I bought Xenogears like 13 years ago & I never could get that game to save, either on a PS1, PS2 or via an Emulator. Has anyone else here ever ran into that before?

  22. Re:EA will translate DRM backlash and low sales as on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    "Sins" is a great game, you should at least give it a whirl once.

  23. I've been playing... on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    I buy PC games. I have about 50-60 on a bookshelf next to my PC desk & a few more I bought thru Stardock. I haven't bought Spore strictly because of the intrusive DRM in it.

    The same DRM that *didn't* prevent me from downloading the ISO & playing it for about 16 hours this weekend.

  24. Re:Land of the free on UK ISPs To Hand Over Thousands of File Sharers' Data · · Score: 1

    I also plan on voting for Barr, I know he won't win, but I'd like to see another party start getting federally matched funds like the Republicrats. Voting for them is step one in accomplishing that.

  25. Re:look for a new isp on Comcast Appeals FCC's Net Neutrality Ruling · · Score: 1

    "Take a family of 4 (mom,dad, two teenagers) There are at least 3 computers in the house (4 most likely). If a movie is download by each computer, 250GB will be eaten up really fast. I know people with netflix who download 5-6 HD movies a week on one computer. I think they will run out of HD movies soon, but 250GB will be eaten up fast if one is downloading HD movies."

    This is exactly what needs to happen. Let Comcast shoot themselves in the foot, if enough people lose service, said people will complain to the City / FCC & Comcast will get their franchise for the area pulled.
