  1. Re:I was afraid of this.... on Adobe Universal Binaries... in 2007 · · Score: 1

    There's a world outside the US, dumbass. Macbook + decent speed drive + 2gb + applecare (my mates have apples, you're a fool not to buy it) == $5,194

  2. Re:Fight on Pay-to Play and the Tiered Internet · · Score: 1

    That'd be great, because customers won't stand for that sort of nonsense and it'd sort itself out.

    Instead, sony _will_ eventually manage to make it just plain old illegal to own a region 0 dvd player. And don't think they won't, unless you guys have a revolution it's pretty much inevitable (sp?).

    Wow, I guess some companies really do learn :) I guess this tells us that Adobe thinks indesign won on merit, not Quark's refusal to port to OSX... Hehehehe.

    Dear Apple,

    You have till june to light a fire under adobe, or I won't be buying your $5000 laptop.

    Sincerely,

    It's incorrect. You MAKE war on somebody, you are at war WITH a country. Even president Nookular's speach writers know you can't have a war against something.

  6. Re:The alternative? on 'Used' A Dirty Word in Gaming · · Score: 1

    You need windows to get your work done and pay the rent, you don't need GTA4. If sony says, "you can't sell this once you've bought it" they're gonna have charge $25 for it or they're in for a real suprise.

    Or maybe they're not, and anyone who buys it deserves exactly what they get ("effed in the a" as Cartman would say).

  7. Re:When I was in gaming school on Duke Nukem Forever in Production · · Score: 1

    That's how you can tell a PHB from someone who's actually taken economics 101. A sunk cost is a sunk cost, no matter what you've got for it. The only thing to consider is a) what's it going to cost us from now on, and b) what are we gonna get for it.

  8. Re:Funny thing on Obesity Contagious? · · Score: 1

    Problem is, of everybody I know, the fat ones eat better and do a similar amount of excercise to the skinny ones, and I doubt I'm a freak. And no, this isn't a fat man's whinging, I got used to seeing the missus eat trash and stay thin a long time ago- and I know the reason I'm fat is my weakness for curry and lager. Doesn't change the fact that for most of the population, genetics (or something akin to this "virus") influences their weight much more than lifestyle.

  9. Re:Carriers are paranoid, and rightly so on Internet Firms Raise Profile on Capitol Hill · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And that my friend, is why their government is still for sale. Of course our governments will follow suit, and they're the only ones that still have guns, so pity us, not them.

  10. Re:Times have changed. on Mozilla Severs Netscape News Legacy · · Score: 1

    Erm, no. Netscape 3.x was massive, bloated, and just about the buggiest software I've ever seen. IE 3 was the young upstart that fought the good fight. Try thinking about what actually happened, rather than "microsoft is teh 3n3m3y!!!11one".

    Hey, I love my microwave. But it's only for re-heating shit that the fridge has already ruined :)

    How will we know? None of us have a machine that could compile windows before the heat-death of the universe.

  14. Re:Has been available for some time. on IE7 Leaked · · Score: 1

    I'm saying that since their software relies on developers creating content for it, that they're total fucking idiots for keeping it for MSDN users only.

    Because there's no theoretical reason it can't work, and whoever doesn't need oil first wins?

    Damn, and I thought people said doom 3 was crap because it was.... well, crap.

  18. Re:Worth it on CNN On The $500 PS3 · · Score: 1

    Lay off the kool-aid dude. Just because Sony says it's so fast it tears the space-time continuum and sends pixels back in time, don't make it so.

    In Japan, "Shipped to retailers" is "sold". The shelves are empty. Somehow I find it's a lot more impressive to run out of Nintendo DS consoles than to sell all 30 of your XBOXen to MTV fanboys.

  21. Re:Way to rant! on The Xbox 360 and Japanese Nationalism · · Score: 1

    So you're "deep" enough to buy the "Failure Box" and the "Failure 360" its overheating underachieving successor, even if it only played quirky japanese games that you thought were stupid?
