  1. Re:Good News for the Homebrews on 360 Hackers Claim Full Read/Write Ability · · Score: 1

    It's not illegal, but I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't give you the
    right to stamp commercial software with an Xbox logo if you
    haven't paid them for a devkit (or whatever it is that exchange
    gives you).

    Some major stores wouldn't take in software that isn't "approved"
    either.

  2. Re:No wireless... on 'True' Video iPod Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    53 gigabits of music, hmm? My 130 gigabytes of MP3+Vorbis and
    40 gigs of FLAC concerts are beyond monstrous, then :)

  3. Re:Forgive me, but I really want to know: on Washington Post on Star Wars Galaxies Changes · · Score: 1

    Perhaps a massively multiplayer beautyschool would be a
    big hit with teenage girls? Sort of like Second Life's face-
    modelling system, but players can't modify their own face
    beyond make-up. Hmm..smells like profit..

  4. Re:Vandalism but tis not al bad to give up a game on Washington Post on Star Wars Galaxies Changes · · Score: 1

    I quit TV many years ago, and never looked back. Any fun
    sci-fi series local stations might accidentally show are
    already out on DVD by the time they reach this cultural
    wasteland.

    Quitting is easy.

  5. Re:Interesting. on Boing Boing Threatened By Software Creator · · Score: 1

    AC is not WoW. Turbine were not against poking around,
    but Blizzard are. There ARE cheaters in WoW.

  6. Re:So f*cking what? on Intel Macs May Boot Windows XP After All · · Score: 1

    World of Warcraft does run on Mac. The very same discs you buy for Windows
    also contain the Mac client. The patchday is in sync, from what I've read, so Mac
    users (all six of them ;) can play WoW with their friends.

  7. Re:Why on Vista Won't Play With Old DVD Drives · · Score: 1

    I flash my BIOS by burning a CD/DVD (rewritable, of course) with just the BIOS
    file and "booting" from it. My motherboard doesn't need a DOS-based flash program..
    It has a backup-BIOS that can't be overwritten for that reason.

  8. Re:Interestingly... on Why Use GTK+? · · Score: 1

    wxWidgets is a tad more free, then - you can use it in commercial products, too.

  9. Oh, neat on The Best Japanese Games of 2005 · · Score: 1

    That just narrows it down to 10% of all Japanese RPGs ever released ;)

  10. Re:"The Other" on Groening Confident on Futurama Relaunch · · Score: 1

    BOTH the universes. There are only two, as you can see in
    an episode.

  11. Re:Now or Have had? on World of Warcraft Tops 5M Subscribers · · Score: 1

    ..or one feral druid.

  12. Re:King Kong? on Spike TV Video Game Award Winners · · Score: 1

    King Kong is out in shops in Norway. Released Friday the 18th, it seems.

  13. Re:The real truth. on Cow Tipping is a Myth · · Score: 1

    3-4 stout vikings can do it, from what I remember :)

  14. Re:Gold in software support, training and publishi on BBC Examines Open Source Business Model · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad idea if some open source
    programmers did grandma-level support twice a month?

  15. Re:This is VERY GOOD news on IBM Donates Parts of Rational to Open Source · · Score: 1

    You make it sound like the programming equivalent of scientology..

  16. Re:Quality on Half-Terabyte Hard Drive Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I've got a selection of every size Western Digital up to 200GB,
    all nice and quiet. When I got a Maxtor 200GB, the computer I
    installed it in started sounding like a cement mixer. I don't trust
    Maxtor in general since having two of them starting to burn in
    1997, and one "merely" leaked magic smoke in 1999. IBM haven't given
    me any problems, and the old 16GB Fujitsu lasted from 1999 till a
    couple of months ago :)

  17. Re:Region Coding = Irony on Blu-Ray To Punish Users for Modifying Hardware · · Score: 1

    Pirates will probably read the contents to harddrive, tinker with
    it to remove protections, and re-author regionfree discs :)

  18. Re:Call of Cthulhu ? on Nintendo Patents Insanity · · Score: 1

    > I wonder who has the wallet to go up against Nintendo though?

    Bethesda, hopefully..

  19. Re:New button on How Voice Enhances Life Online · · Score: 2, Informative

    Opera HAS that button. Or chechbox.
    Tools->Preferences->Content: Enable sound in web pages.

    Been there for years. Always off in my settings.

  20. Re:Male Booth Dolly on LinuxWorld Highlights · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let's just call them boothbobs.

  21. Re:Obvious development on Xbox 360 Launch to Face Several Hurdles · · Score: 1

    The Bard's Tale: 7.36 GB

    There was also a special dual-layered, dual-sided DVD edition of
    Wing Commander IV included with some Creative DVD decoders. About
    18 gigabytes worth of data, which could be massaged into installing
    on harddrive. The regular installation wasn't that big, though, but
    WC4DVD is the largest PC game I know of.

  22. Re:You can even close explorer.exe... on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 1

    Under processes:
    Right-click taskmgr.exe, select Priority.

    The killing urge can also be solved with firearms.

  23. Re:You can even close explorer.exe... on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 1

    Ctrl-alt-del brings up the taskmanager on all my computers (XP Pro).
    It did bring up that other panel on Win2k, though.

  24. Re:I can see the release date thing as a driver... on A Portrait of the UK Game Pirate · · Score: 1

    If it's only as I think, that the config file on each CD/DVD
    decides the display format, any game at all. All PS2 discs have
    a file with a product ID and the keyword PAL or NTSC. There are
    some NTSC games that are optimised for 60Hz displays, though, so
    changing them to PAL might slow the game down.

    My unmodded PS2 has no objections towards playing NTSC DVD movies,
    anyway.

  25. Re:I can see the release date thing as a driver... on A Portrait of the UK Game Pirate · · Score: 1

    Actually, there are tools to change between PAL and NTSC on PS2
    games. Rip, change a file or two, burn.
