  1. Re:pre-conceptions on Modern Day Gamer Documentary · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I play in an MMORPG, but I got into it with a freind of mine. We would spend long nights on weekends hunting the same caves. I'd drag my box over and we'd share his cable connection. It was great.

  2. Re:Huh? on BSA Creates Piracy Statistics · · Score: 1

    The funny thing, though, is that in basic economics, demand is defined as someone or some entity that is both willing and able to buy the product.

  3. Re:Environment on More on Oregon and GPS-tracked Gas Taxes · · Score: 1

    What about alaska? =P

    Ok, so I do get the point.

  4. Surface Mount on 1.5GB HDs On a 1" Platter · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It says that the drive is missing rails and is surface mounted. Does this mean it is lacking in some sort of shell? If so, it would make the drives severely lacking in upgrade possibilities.

  5. Re:who says it needs to be a certain speed? on The Computational Requirements for the Matrix · · Score: 1

    Except that our bodies mature at a certain rate. It'd be kind of weird for everyone to have lifespans measured in days. Then again, we might not even notice. But someone would want to live longer, that's for sure.

  6. Re:and this my friends is why on The Computational Requirements for the Matrix · · Score: 1

    But the simulation could have a law of physics (again, all the subjects know is that which they have observed) that no computer, no matter the method of construction, could ever be fast enough to run such a simulation.

  7. Re:and this my friends is why on The Computational Requirements for the Matrix · · Score: 1

    Or mabye that microscope that was invented, for some reason, doesn't work. As long as you were consistent with all the given physics of the simulation, no one would notice.

  8. Re:You know it's a sad day... on The 3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference · · Score: 1

    And then you could have seen the foot, and laughed when you went to read it and it was a joke.

  9. Re:Let's do the math on BitTorrent Blamed for Matrix2 Downloads · · Score: 1

    Reloaded cost 150m. They already covered that in domestic grosses. I don't disagree, they have the right to make all the money they want on it. I still have my copy sitting on three CD-Rs, though. Plan on getting the DVD, too.

    Thing is, when I go to see it, I get carded (how many sixteen year old kids do they get in there with goatees and stubble?) and that aggravates the hell out of me. And then there is the guy in front of me who makes the outgoing call...

  10. Re:Is dead. on BitTorrent Blamed for Matrix2 Downloads · · Score: 1

    ... I don't know if that was a joke or not. I hope it is.

  11. Re:mentality not the religion on Buddhists Really Are Happier · · Score: 1

    For some reason, when I had heard that it was "when you meet the buddha on the road of life, kill him."

    Thing is, when I heard it like that, it reminded me of the fact that the true buddha would not be "Hey, I'm buddha. Isn't it cool?" in the sort of deification (Sic) others have discussed here.

  12. Re:How about... on Does Gaming Reduce Productivity? · · Score: 1

    You could just set a cron tab to start the process around lunchtime, then grep for it later, and kill it.

  13. Re:cs anti cheats on Cheating in Multiplayer Games · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I play on that server. Used to play as [1336-Krew]Loki, now (SD)Wintermute.

    Thing is, FUHAC takes a good five minutes to check the md5 hashes of all the files on my machine. When we're talking about 97,000+ files...

  14. jury of peers on SCO Drops Linux, Says Current Vendors May Be Liable · · Score: 1

    I'm curious to see how "Jury Of Peers" applies in this case. Would they have to find technically oriented persons?

  15. Re:Another solution for on Best Options for a Home Entertainment Network? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't mind playing around with one. Email me?

  16. Re:Wireless at work on Linksys Ships Dual-band, Tri-standard A+G Wireless · · Score: 1

    I personally would like to see a PCMCIA card with the wireless antenna and a wired plug.

  17. Re:Does it really matter? on Yet More on Cellular Number Portability · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Well, I remember hearing something along the lines of having an IP address for every square foor of the planet. I don't think we'll run out anytime soon unless we start giving the adresses to nano-scale devices.

  18. Re:No basis in fact, 100% fiction on "Time-Traveler" Busted For Insider Trading · · Score: 1

    BTTF, actually.

  19. Re:Sweet. on Corporations Suffer Microsoft Activation Bug · · Score: 1

    I think he was trying to use it to make an analogy to the expiring nature of the liscence.

  20. Re:Gimme! on Building a Town-Wide LAN? · · Score: 1

    Well, it's the possible speed. The best I've ever seen is 1.9mbps. And the upstream is a joke. I'd trade a bit of the downstream for respectable upstream anyday.

  21. Re:Trash typing is a KID thing in every era on AIM Meets Social Network Theory · · Score: 1

    Yeah, most people can look at me using a computer (well, the keyboard for that matter) and be "wow. you're fast".

    And I'll think. "No, no I'm not. You're slow." But I won't say as much.

  22. Re:Gimme! on Building a Town-Wide LAN? · · Score: 1

    14,400 Baud? Damn kids and their high speed connections?

    300 Baud. Awww, yeah.

    Or the 3.2/.256 Connection I have now. Mmm... broadband

  23. Re:Trash typing is a KID thing in every era on AIM Meets Social Network Theory · · Score: 1

    Well, that's us. We're putting 60WPM+ on a keyboard. A lot of these kids are Hunt-n-Pecking they're input.

  24. Re:Buddy collecting on AIM Meets Social Network Theory · · Score: 1

    I remember being at a freinds house hearing his sister whine that she "Was getting some weired message" when she tried to add someone to her buddy list. Turned out that she had 9999 users on her Buddy list (or was it 999? Either way, something with nines and atrocity)
