    Surely there's a rat at the bottom of the pile.

  3. Re:This'll be fun on Microsoft Confirms Xbox One's Phone Home Requirement, Game Resale Rules · · Score: 1

    Yep, I've always hated that double-faced hypocrisy about selling us the game or the license to the game. They always pick up the one that's advantageous to them, but legally there's probably only one valid answer. I'm not sure which, though.

  4. Re:I'm sure XBox won't record our conversations... on Microsoft Confirms Xbox One's Phone Home Requirement, Game Resale Rules · · Score: 1

    I'd bet that first-person shooter players probably say words like "kill", "shoot", "bomb" and "explosion" a lot more often than actual terrorists.

    If we're talking about software emulation, which you mentioned for the PS Vita, then you should also add that the Wii, via the Virtual Console, is compatible with the NES, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, NEC TurboGrafx-16, SNK Neo-Geo, Commodore 64, MSX and a few arcade titles. All of these, legally.

  6. IPv6? on One Year After World IPv6 Launch — Are We There Yet? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Me and my 255 friends are still on IPv1, you insensitive clod!

  7. If you're at a stop sign or a red light, you're still driving. You just happen to not be in motion at that moment.

  8. Re:I have a better idea on Lenovo Announces Grand Opening of US Manufacturing Facility · · Score: 1

    I have a very good idea of what I'm talking about but my experience is not recent. We used to have nothing but troubles with Toshiba and Sony laptops.

    I do agree on the HPs though, I have two friends with HP laptops and they're nothing but trouble on both the low end and the high end models.

    So, shut the fuck up yourself.

  9. "Just do it"? on Ask Slashdot: Getting Exchange and SQL Experience? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nike would like to have a word with you.

    Easier to take a static photo of someone with a good optical zoom than to film them while they're doing the facial expression in question.

    I wouldn't steal it but I would copy it!

    I never said I was using it as my main desktop computer. The thing is connected to legacy CNC hardware via the parallel port and the laptop isn't even connected to the network. Files are copied via CompactFlash cards and a PCMCIA adapter.

    And I'd be very interested in concrete arguments from experts.

    You can't really compare the two. All days are working days in China.

    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. - The Doctor

    And if they owned a 3D printer, those people wouldn't need stupid lawsuits and settlements to get their very own cheap plastic kazoos!

    Toshiba and Sony, quality laptops? Why do you want to kill us with laughter so early in the morning?

  20. Re:Sounds like a lonely job on Lenovo Announces Grand Opening of US Manufacturing Facility · · Score: 1

    Unions require employes to have breaks, lunch time and vacation. Since the automated equipment was willing to work 24/7, they had to hire 115 people because the law requires factories to have at least one floor employee for every 2086 square feet of floor space.

    If you want shovels of salt in your food, come to Canada. Some of our stuff is even worst in sodium content.

    On the bright side, every time I go to the grocery store it feels like a treasure hunt "Hey, look! I found something with only 10mg of sodium per serving!"

    The IC manufacturers should be the ones to pay the patents since the technology is in THEIR manufactured and sold parts.
