  1. Nothing new on New Ultra-Intrusive Pop-up Ads Introduced · · Score: 1

    RPGVault over at IGN has been doing this for a while now. I find it less painful than anything that forces you to wait...like Gamespot.

  2. Office 2005 on XML Support In Office 2003 Isn't For Everyone · · Score: 1

    It'd be nice if Microsoft distributed their next power suite in 2005, when more of the industry standards have been thought out.

    With that, I'd also like a starship with hyperdrive.

  3. Re:ABC's of SciFi on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 1

    Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles were excellent.

  4. Virus Hoax? on Rosen, Valenti Warn Colleges About P2P · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You should turn off your Kazaa RIGHT NOW!! The RIAA and the MPAA have both said that trading music not only is against copyright law, but can take up much-needed bandwidth! If you don't, your music may be confiscated and your other downloads may not be as fast! Send this warning to everyone you know!

  5. You have been recruited by the Star League on E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool · · Score: 1

    Hey...you never know...

  6. It may be legal on LSU Law School Sues Student Over Website · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...but it doesn't mean it's not obnoxious. If you have something to say about someone else, you have every right to do so, I feel, as long as what you say isn't stated as fact, but merely opinion.

    But he took the school colors, made a site with a name that could be confused with the school's main site, and even put links to the main site for further confusion (deliberate or not).

    People forget that, while you might have something to say, whether you think it's "helpful" to get the word out about this terrible school (which is utter B.S. - but that's my opinion), it doesn't mean you can be an ass about it...that doesn't help anyone. Look beyond the first amendment to something more basic - like fairness, honesty, compassion. If you've got something to say, say it, don't confuse people. Of course, he IS a law student...

  7. Re:Pull to Supervillany on The Future of MMORPGs · · Score: 1

    Easy...the "Supervillains" aren't usually the roleplayers. They're people who are out to kill other characters for fun and mischief. And you can call that roleplaying to an extent, but these folks also tend to be the people who level faster than others (more playtime) so they can easily ruin other's fun.

    Stories from PKers are often funny, but I can see how it can be frustrating from an RPers point of view.

  8. Re:Opera 5.11 on Mozilla 0.9 Out · · Score: 1

    Hmm...try Opera on http://www.gamespot.com Then use any other browser. Admittedly, the Gamespot site code is a bit dodgy (so much so that Gecko is probably displaying it correctly...), but its funny that every other browser displays it properly and Gecko chokes. But, of course, who looks at gaming sites? Get back to programming!

  9. Re:It could be a scare or.... on Can Companies Control What You Say After You Leave? · · Score: 1

    There is, I believe, an issue with making scandalous comments against a private person. If his site was directed against the public game or Bill Clinton, he might have been okay, but he chose to direct it against a particular person and that, as far as I know, is fair grounds for shutting down the site. As for our boy in the stock market messageboard, the company has nothing against him outside of normal threats. However, posting deflamatory notes against your old company that you still have friends in denotes a certain flaw in ones brain pattern anyway...
