  1. Re:Still stealin... on Next World of Warcraft Expansion: Warlords of Draenor · · Score: 1

    Does Broadwell mean Iris/Iris Pro?

  2. Re:Future expansions... on Next World of Warcraft Expansion: Warlords of Draenor · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for the Eorzea expansion with the new nekocat race.

  3. Re:Still stealin... on Next World of Warcraft Expansion: Warlords of Draenor · · Score: 1

    First of all, bringing models "up-to-date" means more people will stop playing WoW because their computers can't upgrade their GPUs (laptops and Macs). I already try to avoid going to KungFuPandaLand because my frame rate drops too much, if their update means I only get 10-15FPS everywhere then I'll stop playing.

    Secondly, Blizzard has put the following things (sort of) in World of Warcraft:
    - Plants vs Zombies
    - Farmville
    - Pokémon

    And you're asking for something original?

    A lot of people are going to switch to FF XIV: ARR, it doesn't matter what Blizzard do at this point. They should work on Titan instead of adding insipid crap to their current game.

  4. Re:Space/Propulsion applications on Solid Concepts Manufactures First 3D-Printed Metal Pistol · · Score: 5, Funny

    You talk about designing new launch vehicle engines and then you say the sky's the limit.

    Your rockets are in a lot of trouble, sir.

  5. Re:Just be done with it. on UK Town To Get Driverless 'Pods' Mixing With Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    Why? Are you craving for Soylent Green?

  6. Re:Fine, until you get a runaway. on AgriRover Brings Mars Rover Technology To the Farm · · Score: 1

    That's not a problem. When wintertime rolls around, the farm robots simply freeze to death.

  7. Re:Welcome to the Google Walled Garden of evil on Google To Block Local Chrome Extensions On Windows Starting In January · · Score: 2

    On the other hand, let's not forget that Apple provides BootCamp and Windows drivers for their computers.

  8. Re:The Type on Elementary School Bans Students From Touching Each Other · · Score: 1

    If you don't have a date, don't go to the dance. Problem solved, once and for all.

    Jew?

  11. Re:XBox One, PS4 or Wii U? on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't go so far as saying it was the most linear role-playing game ever made. You see, people assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

  12. Re:XBox One, PS4 or Wii U? on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    FF XIV is online, like FF XI. And yes I played FF XI.

  13. XBox One, PS4 or Wii U? on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 2

    PS4 will have FF XIV, nothing interesting except Halo reruns for Xbox and no Metroid announced for Wii U.

    PS4 wins.

  14. Donations on Internet Archive's San Francisco Home Badly Damaged By Fire · · Score: 3, Interesting

    FYI, they also accept donations in Bitcoins.

  15. Re:O'rly? No wai! on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 0

    No it doesn't.

  16. Re:Good. A hard lesson. on Security Breach Forces Bitcoin Bank Inputs.io To Halt Operations · · Score: 1

    When I shutdown my laptop I store it in a safe to protect my bitcoins.

  17. Re:HAHAHAHA on Security Breach Forces Bitcoin Bank Inputs.io To Halt Operations · · Score: 1

    That can only mean one thing. Aliens hacked inputs.io!

  18. Re:15-core E7 v2? on HP's NonStop Servers Go x86, Countdown To Itanium Extinction Begins · · Score: 1

    A grid does make sense, it's just that they went from single core to dual core to quad core and then eight cores. I thought it needed to be a power of 2. You know, computers and all.

  19. 15-core E7 v2? on HP's NonStop Servers Go x86, Countdown To Itanium Extinction Begins · · Score: 1

    What are the people at Intel thinking? Where did they get 15-core from? Are they making a 16-core CPU knowing there's always going to be one bad core? Why not make a 17-core CPU instead? 15-core seems odd, it's always been 1,2,4 or 8 cores AFAIK.

  20. Re:290X on AMD's Radeon R9 290 Delivers 290X Performance For $150 Less · · Score: 1

    You're not the only one. I was about to get my credit card to order parts for a Final Fantasy XIV, DX11 box.

    Get the kids hooked on the meth and the crack cocaine, 'cause once they're hooked on that, you know what's next: marijuana. Then jazz music. Forget about it. - Brent Butt

    What does learning French have to do with India or Africa?

  24. Re:I prefer currency 1.0 on Bitcoin Protocol Vulnerability Could Lead To a Collapse · · Score: 1

    What bugs me about replicators vs transporters in Star Trek is that you can transport gold-pressed latinum and other various "too complex" molecules/DNA/etc but you can't replicate them. Aren't replicators and transporters based on the same "technology"?

  25. Re:0.37% of India's total budget on After Successful Launch, India's Mars Orbiter Is On Its Way · · Score: 2

    It puts India on the list of space-capable countries instead of a tech support jobs stealing country?
