  1. Re:*YAWN* on Orange Box Turns Gold · · Score: 1

    Simple, Sell your ps3, use the money to resub to WoW. What's left over, buy a Wii and upgrade your ram/video card if you need to in your PC. You'll be much happier.

    Good luck with that.

    That's right, I'm already planning Web 10.75 P1, U6. Get onboard bitches! This shit is gonna rock! Of the many improvements our biggest one is, blinking flash movies! That's right, not just flash, not just blinking text, but blinking flash movies!! It's gonna be HUUGEE!!

  6. How about a proper useable shell. on Apple's Leopard Will Exclude 800MHz G4 Processors · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No not the bs they include (I'm sorry when I can type faster than the fucking shell that's a problem, and one problem I haven't had since like 91-92 on dialup :P

    And these other bolt in shells suck just as horrible.

    Yes I could run X11, but why would I run X11, ontop of Aqua just for a decent shell. I still can't believe in all the improvments, they still ship that shitty ass terminal app.

  7. Re:Don't "blame Congress" for Bell Labs on From Sputnik to the WWW, a History of ARPA · · Score: 1

    I hate to say it, but then you work for a shitty corporation. As much as making money is there goal, the one I work for realises you gotta spend money to make money, and that IT isn't something you buy and that's the end. It's constantly evolving, and you can either keep up, or fall behind and be screwed. Luckly mine keeps up.

  8. Re:Hey everybody! on Wal-Mart Ditches DRM, Keeps Censorship · · Score: 1

    But isn't his point pretty much if you don't like it, don't buy it. You can get it elsewhere. And if your happy listening to edited version of a CD/TAPE/MOVIE good for you.

    But personally I'll pay more, and get the real version.

    The producers of the CD's I'm sure ok'd the editing (Otherwise wouldn't it be illegal to sell the CD's cause you'd be changing the orginal content, what stops me from buying 1000's of cd's editing them and reselling them then. So I'm really assuming the recaord labels are into this), couldn't this just be considered a different SKU? And Wal-mart doesn't happen to carry the other (orginal)SKU.

  9. Re:High-CPU Flash Ads on How Much Are Ad Servers Slowing the Web? · · Score: 1

    Yah no shit. My desktop is a Dualcore, 4G, 2x 24" widescreen, and that's standard.

  10. Re:Hell No on For-Pay Demos Coming to Xbox Live? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Good idea, the problem is tho (least imho) majority of the games out if they let you play 1/5th the game you'd have pretty much played the game.

    I've played numerous demo games, then bought the game to find out the "demo" was the best level of the game and the rest is just horrible.

    Cause it's not a fps?

  12. Re:E3 is Nearly Completely Irrelevant on E3 - So, How Did It Go? · · Score: 1

    I found E3 pretty good imo, I watched most of the coverage, and it was exciting to be shown games tha tI'll be playing in this year, Not games and tech demos for shit that I may get to play in a year or 2. but then again, E3 isn't really for us.

  13. I hate to say it... on E3 - So, How Did It Go? · · Score: 1

    But this years E3 was great IMHO. We got news, got to see upcoming games, good PR events (I hate PR events, but I also like to find out wtf is going on in the gaming world and this is a good chance for that).

    Old E3 was fun, but it was more about booth babes, and just handing random crap to thew 23458349589304 of people who showed up.

    I foudn this E3 and from the few people I know who went, they all loved it. no more spending an hour fighting your way across the floor just to see something on the other side.

    PAX is a more appropriate place to have people show up and just play the games, E3 in my mind was always and should of always been more about the companies themselves getting a chance to talk, etc.

    As always tho opinions are like assholes and they all stink.

  14. Re:Mod parent up Plz on MS Moves R&D To Canada Due To Immigration Problem · · Score: 1

    Most of the people I've seen get abused, and put up with crazy work things, Are people who don't have the skills to move to another job. And are pigeon-holed into staying. Or think they are.

    Not true in all cases obviously. But at this point it's just our personal experiences. :)

  15. Re:um no on Fructose As Culprit In the Obesity Epidemic · · Score: 1

    Isn't the problem with fructose that your body doesn't register as being full when your eating (hence you can drink that whole gallon of pepssi/coke and not feel full). If they switched to cane sugar then you'd drink a pop and feel full.

    By feeling full I mean (and I'm just paraphrasing this I can't find the site that explained it) you eat 1000 calories of fructose and you feel no different, you eat 1000 calories of cane sugar or "real" sugar and your body registers the 1000 calories and tell your brain your full.

    Is that right? Or did I just mix a ton of shit up. I can't remember, but I do remember reading soemthing on the subject of fructose vs. sugar.

  16. Re:Wow...this really is news for nerds... on SIXAXIS Rumble Version Strongly Suggested · · Score: 1

    I think that's the point. Xbox/wii got rumble and have had it for awhile. PS3 is getting it... in 2007 or maybe 2008.. How can you call yourself the hottest most advanced console.. and not have something like rumble.

    Look at who your talking to /. isn't known for it's smarts, or even comprehension of ideas (and who can forget.. spelling).

  18. Re:I'm sorry, but.. on Killzone 2 Back in Action · · Score: 1

    Is there a reason you replied to a pompous bullshit comment with your own pompous bullshit comment? Get over yourself, Killzone was a POS. Sure it was pretty. The game play/mechanics/story were horrible. I haven't met 1 person to say contrary yet. OF course accept you. But that doesn't count.

    What confuses me tho, I worked on a H1B in the US, Made same as if not more than my Americian counterpart, and the company took care of me. Never asked me to do more than anyone else, and if they did, I got the same perks (time off in lieu, etc). And I still got my Raises each year of 3-3.5% plus bonuses.

    Bingo, if anything it just randomly happened the company they contracted for hosting/development stuck them on Linux/Freebsd/Windows.

    I highly doubt someone running for President of the US (or any country for that matter) cares, or even knows what fucking OS his web site runs, or if it's done in ASP or PHP.

  25. Re:Don't bother repeating on Graduate with Bad Grades or Repeat a Year? · · Score: 1

    I couldn't attend Univ due to my poor Math Grades (my grade 12 teacher decided I was too far behind and suggest I just not bother showing up to class anymore, cause she didn't have time to teach me).

    I've gotten every job I applied for accept 2 (my first one, cause I was out of my league) and a latter one due to personality conflicts.

    Every person I know who interviews for IT position looks at education very quickly and moves on. This is of course unless your going to like the Govt, which is one of those places your degree/certificates mean something (supposedly).
