  1. Re:Skip the 'couldn't live up to the hype' posts? on Ex-Valve Writer Reveals What Might Have Been Half-Life 2: Episode 3's Story (eurogamer.net) · · Score: 1

    There won't be a HL3, but yes they are still making new games. Valve released a teaser for a god damn Card Game based on Dota2 universe, that will be available in 2018.
    Valve has no interest in releasing HL3, and that's why they never, ever spoke about it.
    I hope I'm wrong, but probably not.

  2. You do realize that most people don't need to create complex spreadsheets, right? LibreOffice Calc, or even Google Spreadsheets will do just fine, then.
    You know what is a real piece of garbage? Notepad.exe

  3. Re:Why pre-installed? on Dell Doubles Down On High-End Ubuntu Linux Laptops (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Are there really many people interested in using ubuntu on high powered laptops who can't install it on their own?

    Yes. Otherwise Dell wouldn't be selling them.

  4. Both will play the cat video, right? So, your point is...

  5. two distinct OSes which run two distinct classes of devices.

    Which both can access... email, social media and messaging services. Which is what most people need anyway.

    Let's face it, Windows is becoming less and less needed, which is good :)

  6. Re:Ok, what's the catch? on Microsoft Fixes Bugs in Skype for Linux (softpedia.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Because Microsoft is good.
    Linyos Torovoltos is the evil.

  7. Indeed, that's what I did on my laptop :)
    But unfortunately lots of people don't even know what "Linux" is...

  8. > Seeking compensation for lost wages and the cost of a new computer

    And the new computer will come with... Windows 10.

    GG

  9. All started because of this bug report, back in 2010 (!). Mark Shuttleworth itself replied many times there explaining why moving the Unity Launcher was never going to be a thing, because of design goals. And now we finally have it.

  10. Re:Misleading on Brazilian Judge Shuts Down WhatsApp In Brazil · · Score: 1

    All internet providers in Brazil started blocking Whatsapp (I don't know why). It's back online now, because another judge got it to revoke the other judge's decision. Welcome to Brazil, I guess.

  11. Misleading on Brazilian Judge Shuts Down WhatsApp In Brazil · · Score: 2

    > the service of course remains accessible through Wi-Fi.

    Wrong. The service is only available in Brazil if you use VPN or if your multinational company's internet goes trough an overseas firewall.

  12. Re:sample... on SteamOS Gaming Performance Lags Well Behind Windows (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    > One of my primary suspects for the difference is the video card - how well optimized are the Linux drivers?

    One million times better (for games) than 2 year ago, thanks to Valve.

  13. Re:Why? on With Respect To Gaming, Android Still Lags Behind iOS (bgr.com) · · Score: 2

    Yeah, because there's only one version of Windows.
    Nope.
    Just an example, when Windows XP Service Pack 2 was released, Ahead Nero had to release an emergency update because their CD burning software simply stopped working on XPSP2, which worked just fine on XPSP1.

    Developing for Android is as easy as developing for Windows. Maybe even easier for Android.

  14. Re:eSports again...I give up.. on eSports Now a Part of College Athletics · · Score: 3, Insightful

    > the cheerleaders will still not care. ;-)

    But the Korean cheerleaders will care. A lot :-)

  15. Why not Dota 2? on eSports Now a Part of College Athletics · · Score: 2

    Dota 2 pays more (15kk USD on last international tournament).
    Dota 2 is more balanced.
    Dota 2 is truly F2P (all heroes available from start).

    I don't think LoL is suitable for a competitive environment.

  16. Re:Windows only on BitTorrent Launches Beta of Torrent-Based Browser Project Maelstrom · · Score: 0

    Releasing such project for Windows only (and Mac later, with no sign of Linux support) is like selling a Ferrari to poor people.

  17. I hope they don't do like Capcom... on Nintendo Finally Working On Games for Smartphones · · Score: 1

    ... that releases games for iOS only. **** that. There are millions using Android.

  18. Avoiding Frustation on Ask Slashdot: Parental Content Control For Free OSs? · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can go simple and just avoid frustration by using OpenDNS:
    https://www.opendns.com/home-i...

    They have a feature to block inappropriate websites, and I think you cannot change the DNS unless you have the sudo/root password.

    Also, Adblock Plus blocks malware and social media (if your kids are too young to use Facebook).

    Finally, YouTube has an option to block sensitive media, under account options.

    Good luck!

  19. Re:Less travel-durable on Nintendo Announces 2DS Handheld — Plays 3DS Games In 2-D · · Score: 1

    ... the screen and main control button protection a clamshell design gave you.

    it seems it will come with a protection case. At least is what the kid used to put away his 2DS on Nintendo's video at YouTube.

  20. Re:What about games on Hybrid Hard Drives Just Need 8GB of NAND · · Score: 1

    The games I download from Steam are around 5GB each. So if I try playing two games in one day, only the first one will load quickly?

    No game will load all 5GB at once, and probably not even in many hours of gameplay.

  21. They need to spend their money on The Nintendo Sequels We're Still Desperately Missing · · Score: 2

    Nintendo got a lot of money from the DS and the Wii. They need to spend all that stuff in updating all their franchies. The 3DS is fine. The Wii U needs more software and more features. Their hardware may not be powerful, but can do a lot of stuff.

  22. Re:License war commencing... on PlayStation 4 Will Be Running Modified FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    Removing the OtherOS option from the PS3 didn't stop piracy. And it didn't make it less easier. That was just a BS move made by a BS person. Also, they removed support for unlicensed controllers. What for? People had to buy new spare controllers when friends just want to play some casual stuff. Fk u, Sony.

  23. Re:Joining the people's not buying one on Microsoft Confirms Xbox One's Phone Home Requirement, Game Resale Rules · · Score: 1

    So I had bought 3 xbox 360's, I won't be buying 1 One.

    Why did you have to buy 3 X360s? RRoD? I had 1 PS3. Got YLoD after 2 years. Threw in the trash and bought a Wii. 3 years have passed and still working as it should. Bought a Wii U.

  24. Re:Then I'm not buying it. on Microsoft Confirms Xbox One's Phone Home Requirement, Game Resale Rules · · Score: 3, Informative

    So whatever the first next-generation console is which can be ran entirely offline without any network connection over its lifetime stands a pretty good chance of getting bought.

    The Nintendo Wii U.

  25. They think it's 2030 already. on Xbox One: Cloud Will Quadruple the Power, Says Microsoft · · Score: 2

    Sony and MS thinks everybody lives in a world where the connection is great, never drops and has awesome upload speeds. I live in Brazil and have fiber with 15mbps of Download and 1mbps of Upload. And I'm one of the few that have access to fiber. Most are still using ADSL, ISDN or Cable. Well, let's see what happens when two consoles with the same hardware launches in the same period.
