  1. Re:Never work on WoW the Next "Golf"? · · Score: 1

    That's all very nice, but WoW is not a sport.

  2. Re:Things You Would Never Know Without Indian Movi on Bollywood Embraces Kazaa Movie Downloads · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, rules #1, #2, #4, #6, #7 and #9 also apply to most Hollywood films :-)

  3. Re:I do believe Mr Cox reads these comments, on Update on Alan Cox's Sabbatical · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I guess those management skills can come in handy when managing a team of OSS developpers...

  4. Continue writing to MEPs, find their email ad here on Protests Delay European Software Patent Vote · · Score: 1

    You can search for their party or country of origin here: http://wwwdb.europarl.eu.int/ep5/owa/p_meps2.repar tition?ilg=EN. If their e-mail isn't listed, try checking out their personal site. Not a bad idea to mail the political party's hq in your country neither.

    You can order them by country / fraction on http://wwwdb.europarl.eu.int/ep5/owa/p_meps2.repar tition. If there is no e-mail addy listed, try their personal webpage, there's bound to be some sort of contact form.

  6. Re:Switch to DC on Power Electronics Help to Control Electrical Grids · · Score: 1

    That has nothing to do with the voltage, but with the frequency. (60 Hz in the US vs 50 Hz in Europe)

  7. Re:My mom... on Mom Meets Linux - A Lindows 4.0 Review · · Score: 1

    You can order them by type though, which is indeed not the same, but yields pretty much the same results

  8. Re:Rumor... on On the Gripping Hand · · Score: 1

    It is sooo bad!

  9. Re:rtfb on Extra Scenes in TTT Extended Edition DVD · · Score: 1

    The "X" makes it sound cool :-)

  12. Re:Hope... on Simulation Of An Asteroid Impact In The Year 2880 · · Score: 1

    the resulting earthquakes are probably a much worse problem.
    Also, I guess a lot of water will evaporate, forming huge clouds and (just a guess), that will probably change climate for a short while...

    You're not a true gaming geek if you don't know why the happy campers held a party where they made extra special sauce :-)

  18. Re:Civilisation on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    Seconded.
    Also, I cannot keep my hands from this game for more than a year or so. Every ten months or about, I need to beat this game in one big marathon session. It just doesn't feel right if I don't play it for a long time.

  19. Dungeon Keeper & Planetarion on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Although Half Life was more immersive, and there are many better games out there, those little squares with info you had to click kept on appearing a long time in real life.
    Being a big bully and member of the biggest alliance in the online browsergame Planetarion messed up my life for about a year. At it highest point there were about 200k players, and organizing the alliance and galaxy so you'd stay on top was a full time job. For a year it was normal for me and my friends who also played, to never sleep for about more then 5 hours, unless somebody you could trust and had your cell phone number was online.

    I know you were just kidding, but I'd just like to ad that while it's true that most games require directx, Doom 3 and all quake games work with only OpenGL

    Now hopefully after we know the cause, manned spaceflights can continue

  24. Re:What's worse then tech support for the family.. on Family Tech Support · · Score: 1

    those are really great tips, thx :-)

  25. What's worse then tech support for the family... on Family Tech Support · · Score: 1

    Is tech support for your familys friends, and if you do good job, for your familys friends' friends (pretty soon youll end up doing it for Kevin Bacon ;-) ).
    I simply do not get it. If you help someone out in the family, say with moving or some DIY in their house, they'll be polite, offer money or some other for of compensation that you of course reject and you can be sure to count on their help when you need it.
    Now If it's tech support, first of all they'll be pissed of. At everyone, because it's everybodys fault but theirs. It is especially your fault if you ever helped them out before, even if what you did was just configure their e-mail client and the problem now is that it "won't boot at all" or something. They'll just be standing there, looking bored, commenting on everything, asking if whatever you are doing won't break the computer, and why it was fixed much faster last time.
    God I hate being the tech support dork of the family.
