  1. Re:I found a few spots on Unfinished Area Exploration in WoW · · Score: 1

    Banned for exploring unfinished areas that you're obviously not supposed to be able to get to, that is.

  2. Re:I don't care how realistic the figures look... on Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy · · Score: 1

    Steel Batallion, a mech simulator for Xbox, does this. If your mech is destroyed and you don't eject before it blows up, your save is deleted and you get to start over from the beginning. Of course, even if you do eject, you have to have enough supply points to buy another mech or the same thing happens.

  3. Re:The question, explained on Mathematician Claims Proof of Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 1

    What is the number that you add to one to get zero? We call it -1. (What? Negative numbers?)

    What is the number that you multiply by two to get one? We call it 1/2. (What? Rational numbers?)

    What is the number that you raise ten to the power of to get two? We call it log(2). (What? Irrational numbers?)

    What's this now? Complex numbers? Bah.

    (Props for actually using 'begging the question' correctly, by the way.)

  4. Re:Got it to compile on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1

    I heard it compiles with VC6.0, SP 5. Of course, I don't have my VC6 cd at the moment so I can't try it.

  5. Re:What I think on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1

    Must... not... feed... trolls...

  6. Re:Patches? on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1
  7. Re:Source of Source on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny

    Source of Source

    Shouldn't that be "Source of Source of Source"? (It is, after all, the Source engine.)

  8. Re:Er, that's a bit much.... on The Guy Responsible For Ctrl-Alt-Del · · Score: 1

    Comparing it to the discovery of penicillin is like saying Tolkien discovered the lord of the rings.

    But he did, didn't he? I mean, The Lord of the Rings was adapted from the Red Book, which was written by Bilbo. Right?

  9. Re:Please... on IT Career Horoscopes · · Score: 1

    I thought that only worked for fortune cookies.

  10. Re:Vancouver's Pretty Nice on Justice Department Proud of Patriot Act Slippery Slope · · Score: 1

    Ironically, it would have been easier to make that a link than it was to add your apology (24 keystrokes vs. 36, more or less).

  11. Re:Careful there on "Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked · · Score: 1

    Well, he did forget the 'm' on the end...

  12. Re:Improve upon our faults. OCing the Human Brain? on The Rights of GM Humans · · Score: 1

    I do not support any law which allows "droping children off" anywhere.

    So, instead of having a law that allows "dropping children off" at a hospital/fire station/wherever, you'd prefer that people who decide that they are unable or unwilling to take care of a child end up "dropping children off" a bridge instead?

    Just something to think about.

  13. Re:Gotta buy the game now! on 1st Episode Of Animatrix Released · · Score: 1

    If you just want to watch the movie, then watch the damn move. The game's just a bonus. If you don't care about the game, don't buy it.

  14. Re:Opera on Slashback: Slammer, Frames, Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    Amen.

    Seriously, though, try it out. You don't have to pay for it, the free version simply has an ad bar at the top of the screen. You don't even notice it most of the time.

  15. Re:Outside of radio markets on Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Even better is KNSX 93.3 (in St. Louis), an independent rock/alternative station. Good music (with slots for low-profile local bands from 9pm-3am) and never more than 4 (!) minutes of commercials per hour. Plus, any commercials they do have are either station info or music-related (such as local concerts, etc.).

  16. Re:Business strategy on Opera Gives That C64 Feel · · Score: 1

    You might want to try beta 2. (The missing right click menu was just a bug, by the way, and it's fixed now. Keep in mind that it's a beta version.)

  17. Re:Starband on Echostar DishPVR 721 GPL Software Released · · Score: 1
    Echostar still sends me the bills for Starband
    ...which, I believe, is one of the reasons Starband is suing Echostar. Some problem with Echostar not turning over customer billing information after a set amount of time.
  18. Re:Damn . . . on Matrix Reloaded Filming Wants to Shut Sydney Down · · Score: 1

    Woah, deja-vu...

  19. Re:I think it's great. on First Reviews of Mozilla 1.0 Roll In · · Score: 1

    No, it was GNN. However, IIRC (again, it was a while ago), they operated a bit differently. I seem to remember that as you browsed, it added a tab for each page you visited, so it showed your history rather than letting you have multiple pages open.

  20. Re:Broken? on WinXP Keygen Foils Product Activation · · Score: 1

    Don't you want to do:

    cat winxpkeygen | winxpactkey

    or something? (Since it reads from stdin)

  21. Re:Commercial applications already exist on Think And Click · · Score: 1

    It's used to moisturize the skin so as to provide a better connection for the sensors. Although I'm sure you had something else in mind :-)

  22. Re:Integrating protheses in the neural loop on Think And Click · · Score: 1

    From what I've read, controlling the artificial leg would be very similar to controlling a real leg; you can think of kicking someone's ass all you want, but nothing happens unless you actually try to do it. There's a difference between thinking about doing something and actually sending the signal to your muscles.

  23. Re:How is this different? on TV Networks Sue ReplayTV · · Score: 2, Informative

    According to their website, it automatically detects and skips commercials, in addition to having a 30-second skip button. Also, with a VCR you still have to see the commercials, while with the ReplayTV it's (most likely) instaneous.
