  1. windows java installer on How To Hijack Your Own Windows System With Bundled Downloads · · Score: 1

    Does Oracle really need the money from Ask.com to keep including that dilapidated toolbar with every single java.com installer download and incremental java update?

  2. Looking Glass classics on Will Kickstarter Launch a Gaming Renaissance? · · Score: 1

    Maybe this would be a good way to get one of my favorite Looking Glass games, Terra Nova, remade?

  3. dependence is not addiction on US Students Suffering From Internet Addiction · · Score: 1

    I feel much the same way when deprived of my Audi for a couple days.

  4. not a TV show or movie but on What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next? · · Score: 1

    Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri by Looking Glass Software

  5. Re:Friends on Best Buy $39.95 "Optimization" At Best a Waste of Money · · Score: 1

    Theaters silly!

  6. should be called on Play With LEGOs, Get Arrested By SWAT Team · · Score: 1

    "How I got fired"

  7. Re:Fire up the soldering irons... on Atari Founder Proclaims the End of Gaming Piracy · · Score: 1

    'fraid I have to call bullshit on this one. I've had XP deactivate itself twice now from upgrading video drivers. Why upgrading my Radeon package (the drivers not the hardware) would deactivate my OS is beyond me, but there you have it.

  8. Re:Waaambulance on Opera Tells EU That Microsoft's IE Hurts the Web · · Score: 1

    Aren't you forgetting IIS? A lot of pointy-haired types won't run anything else in their shop because IE is everywhere. Web servers "guaranteed" to work with IE make a lot of cash for Microsoft.

    That said, I think even the government is finally realizing that they can do it cheaper with open solutions. Where I'm at they recently converted a large-ish (15000 employee) payroll system over to Apache from IIS and the project management folks sure seem a lot happier these days.

  9. Re:No Biggie on Vista to Allow "One Significant" Hardware Upgrade · · Score: 1

    My new Core-2-Duo system made me re-activate it when I upgraded my Radeon drivers from something like 6.8 to 6.9 (or whatever is the current rev) for my X1900XT.

    That was a new one for me, and of course I had to call India because it wouldn't let me re-activate it over the internet. This was with a brand-new Newegg-purchased OEM XP Pro seat that I got just for this PC.

  10. My 3 word review on Prey Review · · Score: 1

    Turok, with Portals.

    Ok the Asteroids are kick-ass too.

  11. Re:Just because it is MS on Lucent Sues Microsoft, Wants All 360s Recalled · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Did you just call Lucent, a global company with a $14-billion market-cap, small?

  12. heroes on Marvel and DC Enforce "Superhero" Trademark · · Score: 1

    9x out of 10, if you ask someone to name a "superhero" they are going to name one of DC or Marvel's characters.

    Can't blame the companies for attempting to prevent the "dilution" of their brand recognition.

  13. Re:fp on Suing Google Over Pagerank · · Score: 1

    Yeah I thought this sounded somewhat familiar. I just wasn't sure how that case had turned out. Thanks for reminding me ;-)

    Searchking lol.

  14. what on The Best of Macworld SF 2006 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Podcasted? lol.

  15. Re:Hard Drive Voodoo? on Seagate buys Maxtor for $1.9B · · Score: 1

    Some of the Maxtors are coming with a 5-year warranty, the Maxline series. I have one and it is an excellent drive. 300gb with a 16meg cache, SATA 150.

  16. ~durr on Intel On A Building Spree · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Only in the world of computers... on Review: Battlefield 2 · · Score: 1

    Well the next one is supposed to be called BF 1862 so go figure :p

  18. Punkbuster on Review: Battlefield 2 · · Score: 1

    I found that updating Punkbuster manually has cleared up a lot of the random disconnect problems I was having. Download pbweb.exe and run it from the game's \pb directory.

    what the hell?

  21. Re:Advice on Uniquely Bright: Experiences and Tips? · · Score: 1

    That's a fucking awesome post, If I could mod you +1 godmode I would.

  22. huh? on NetGear Also Has Remote Access Wide Open · · Score: 4, Insightful

    you can turn off the external web interface on those things right? I guess that doesn't help if you're worried about crackers on your LAN but still, it may not be as bad as it sounds.

    Undocumented = bad though,

  23. Neocron on Drug Addiction Integrated Into Achaea MUD · · Score: 1

    Neocron has lots of drugs, you don't get permanently addicted though, just lots of "drug haze" when they wear off, the more stuff you're on the more debilitating the haze effect.

    http://www.neocron.com

  24. 2400 AD on Richard Garriott, NCSoft Finally Reveal Tabula Rasa · · Score: 1

    Wow someone else remembers that game, I loved it! I wish someone would put out a MUD with that theme :)

  25. yeah but on A Running Shoe For Agent 86? · · Score: 4, Funny

    shameless, I know :p
