  1. they are seedhosts on How Do Seeders Profit From BitTorrent? · · Score: 3, Informative

    You pay for a seedhost. They do the torrenting for you and you simply download what you want directly from them while they boost your ratio.

  2. WTF! on Crysis 2 Leaked Over a Month Before Launch · · Score: 1

    The scripty kid who did this bullshit ought to be flogged publicly. Look, I've got no problem with retail games being released in the scene. They serve their purpose. But stealing development builds and releasing them is just plain wrong. This hurts the industry far more than a scene release. Now they'll have to re-jigger the multiplayer authentication and it will delay the game.

  3. Re:More Likely... on PS3 Root Key Found · · Score: 1
  4. Re:PC gamers in a rush to play another shit map on PC Gamers Crush Console Brethren · · Score: 1

    RIGHT? Having visions of Stalingrad and the propaganda officer shouting pep talks to the cannon fodder.

  5. Re:good on Stargate Universe Cancelled · · Score: 1

    that is the death knell for all series.

    when they stop it mid season for something else, it's going to be cancelled.

  6. The US is not having a hard time keeping up. on 68% of US Broadband Connections Aren't Broadband · · Score: 1

    Last mile ISPs are refusing to spend on infrastructure.

    Comcast promised DOCSIS 3.0 a year ago. It won't matter much with a 250GB cap.

  7. it won't matter on Microsoft Reportedly Working On TV Service For Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    My ISP won't allow me to consume that way. After all, It's direct competition with them. My ISP has instituted a cap so I don't consume from sources other than them. *cough* COMCAST!

  8. cheesecloth on New York Judge Rules 6-Year-Old Can Be Sued · · Score: 1

    according to TFA, "[Justice] Wooten concluded by writing that there was no indication or evidence that "another child of similar age and capacity under the circumstances could not have reasonably appreciated the danger of riding a bicycle into an elderly woman.""

    This is such a thin argument that it will surely fall apart at the seams under the slightest scrutiny. No child aged 4 or 5 is capable of appreciating danger of anything. Their minds are not developed enough to reason in such an advanced manner.

  9. Re:I'm not trusting something government funded... on New Tool Blocks Downloads From Malicious Sites · · Score: 1

    stop visiting NAFLA sites.

  10. this is a logical progression on Micro-Transactions Coming To Team Fortress 2 Via Steam Wallet · · Score: 1

    there's been a lot of us asking for steam cards for a long time, this is good progress imho.

    Granted, I stopped playing tf2 like a year ago. I can see community mods being offered for micro-transactions.

    Unfortunately this is the end of free community modding. But it's a step forward for PC gaming. It's an evolution. It will bring more talent and games back to PC gaming.

  11. great for physicists, but... on Hawking Radiation Claimed Created In a Lab · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    what are the practical applications for the real world? How will this help prevent our extinction?

  12. Re:Inflammatory out of context headlines as usual. on Why Warriors, Not Geeks, Run US Cyber Command Posts · · Score: 1

    shouldn't it be far easier to train techies for the military than train airmen for the data center?

    It's not like they have the cream of the crop, technically speaking.

  13. Re:Parental involvement on 72% of US Adults Support Violent-Game Ban For Minors · · Score: 1

    parents are now the ones who buy these games for their kids.

    They are clueless. They use excuses like, "he's played worse" and "it's for his older brother"

    you can count on parents to be stupid. This explains much about our culture.

  14. 7892.1ms with minefield 4b6pre on Mozilla Unleashes the Kraken · · Score: 1
  15. I don't know about that... on IE9 Team Says "Our GPU Acceleration Is Better Than Yours" · · Score: 1

    but I'm testing ff4b5 and it is really glitchy. I can't even use the gpu accel in it because that's so glitchy.

    Most of the time, ff4b5 doesn't render pages properly or scripts fail to run properly in it. Way too glitchy for a 5th beta!

  16. follow the money. on Defending Self In a Case of On-Line Identity Theft? · · Score: 1

    get a subpoena for the billing information to give to the registrar. That will show it's not you.

  17. WTF? on Researchers Discover Irresistible Dance Moves · · Score: 2, Funny

    who are you to tell techno-viking he can't dance?

  18. I agree ;) on White House Fingers PlayStation As Obesity Culprit · · Score: 1

    It most definitely could not be the endless supply of cheap fatty foods laced with High Fructose Corn Syrup.

    Yep, definitely the Playstation.

  19. Re:10 hours a day of high quality high definition on Belgian ISP Claims One Customer Downloads 2.7TB · · Score: 1

    I completely agree with your tiering choices.

    However, the ISPs will look at that and think, 25mbps, $2000 a month.

    100Mbps? $3500 a month.

    I am a user of online services like onlive and xboxlive and netflix streaming, and steam games and hulu.

    My ISP would love to disconnect me. They really want to subscribe grandmas who just check their email once a week.0

  20. will it run on android? on Introducing JITB — a Flash Player Built On the JVM · · Score: 1

    android support or it's pointless.

  21. My mom is afflicted with Dementia on Rare Sharing of Data Led To Results In Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 1

    Alzheimer's disease cannot be diagnosed unless through pathology, but for those with probable cases, this is good news. I'm glad to see this sort of information sharing. Science used to move at the speed of journal publishing schedules. Hopefully this will be influential in bringing science into the 21st century.

  22. Re:More Trollish Please on iPad Owners Are 'Selfish Elites' · · Score: 1

    Fuck you! Selfish elite bastard!

  23. I disagree on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 1

    At that pricepoint or locked into a contract as such, I think the program was a smashing success.

  24. correction on StarCraft II Cost $100 Million To Develop · · Score: 1

    Starcraft II cost 10 million dollars to develop.

    It cost 90 million to market.

  25. Re:Free market. on FCC Dodges Pointed Questions On US Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    I would agree with you, but there is no free market in the US. The industry was deregulated recently to disallow open competition.
