  6. Couldn't disagree with the Exodus review more on In Space No One Can Hear You Sigh · · Score: 1

    I like the game, It's probably one of the best space-based games *since* Homeworld. Although I did find that you can't move to specific locations, it's all based on moving to nav points/markers/ships/stations/etc so you can't really specificaly place your ships. Overall though it's a really good game.

  7. Re:Much of the energy has gone to Ubuntu... on Record Low Turnout in Debian Leadership Election · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu is geared for desktops,
    Debian isnt.

    You know I've mentioned this before but always get modded down, finally it looks like there are some sane moderators around.

  9. Re:The entire store has no movies now on Blockbuster Settles No Late Fee Suit · · Score: 1

    That was our store did, Wednesday were 'Dollar' Days, new rentals for a $1 buck you only got 1 day, normally $3 something with tax and two days.

  10. Re:compile on! on Gentoo 2005.0 Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    I started out with redhat 9, and although it did what I wanted for the most part, when I had a problem, it was usually pretty hard to fix since I didn't really know what was going on. Now that I've done a couple gentoo installs, though only stage 3, I must admit, I know much better what causes certain problems. In addition, I love being always up-to-date and not having to worry about cruft.


    Yes because it's always easier to diagnose your custom compiled programs yourself instead of getting help from the 10k+ other users who use the exact same software package.
  11. WTF on Comprehensive Guide to the Windows Paging File · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's 44 Pages!! I mean heck, the average /. doesn't read one page news stories, but a 44 Page Article!? Not in this lifetime.

    ERM wtf no? ALl the Editor has to do is use that HANDY DANDY search box at the bottom of the page with a few main keywords from the story and scan the recent results. HOW FUCKING HARD IS THAT!?

  13. Re:Letter To Mr. Abbott on Texas Attorney General Sues Vonage over 911 · · Score: 1

    Dear Matt Hoppes,

    I find your letter to the AG incredibly frivolous. First, Vonage is NOT traditional telephone service. It is VoIP. VoIP is NOT regulated, nor is it required to provide 911 service. Yet the 911 is a Private service which traditional service customers pay for. Vonage is more interested in profits then it is in customer safety.
    In Summary, 911 is paid for with taxes, Vonage doesnt pay these taxes, yet they claim to offer service to 911 and say their service is a 'replacement' for POTS. Unless Vonage provides 911 service that works, correctly, as it is supposed to on a POTS network, it does not qualify as a POTS replacement which therefore makes their claims false advertising.

  14. Re:Worst. Comment. Ever. on mc chris Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Well one look at your comment shows why he didn't do any of those things. If 99.9% of the people are like "WHo the fuck are you, you suck, go away" you think you'd put any work into it either?

    kinda like how DVD+ and DVD- got 'settled'?

  17. Re:THIS IS ADVERTISEMENT FROM SONY!!!! on TV Show About The Scene · · Score: 1

    Yes, considering those street vendors with crappy cam releases can get idiots to pay $10 for a copy of a movie in theaters then yes . . that number is quite reasonable.

  18. Re:I don't understand on 'Online Poker' Googlebomb · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I think the first link said it about right:
    This stunt actually will increase blog spam volume for online poker in order for the spammers to compete with the wiki, also it has expanded the number of people trying to spam wiki pages and it will reinvigorate general blog spam for publicizing the fact that blog spamming still works.
  19. Herm wait . . . on VoIP to Fuel Plague of 'Dialing for Dollars'/Spam · · Score: 5, Informative
    so the DNCL only covers POTS Spam? IMO my number is in there, so no matter where they're coming from or through, be it POTS or VoiP they can't call me, further more theres'a nice tidbit on that DNCL site:

    33. Are telemarketing calls from overseas covered?

    Yes. Any telemarketers calling U.S. consumers are covered, regardless of where they are calling from. If a company within the U.S. solicits sales through an overseas professional telemarketer, that U.S. company may be liable for any violations by the telemarketer. The FTC can initiate enforcement actions against such companies.

    Image of the gun. Imo somebody could easily mistake that for a homebrew silencer on the end.

  21. I dont think Sniper Rifle is the correct term here on Build Your Own Bluetooth Sniper Rifle · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Really, they should of called it something besides a 'Sniper Rifle' I'm sure that'd go down well when the cops ask what you're doing.

    the Gigantahugeanormus selection of apps that get a benefit from SLI, it makes the price of a SLI system oh so much more reasonable.
