  1. Re:Mods on The Xbox 360 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Wrong. Even if Microsoft cracks down there will be a work around. This is an arms race, and the modders will always be a step ahead.

  2. Re:Mods on The Xbox 360 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    You can get on live even with a chip. The eXtender and X3 are a very nice combo that allow you to use XBox Live and still be chipped.

  3. Re:Mods on The Xbox 360 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Absolutely, I mod xboxes as a way to make some extra income. I have sold about 200 premodded boxes, and modded about 800 more.

  4. Re:No threat on VLC & European Patents · · Score: 1

    Pretty lame comparison (from the standpoint of a gun owner, two shotguns, two rifles, a trio of pistol) But your point is well taken, because the crackpot would be carrying a shotgun or rifle, while the bystandards are not allowed to carry anything more dangerous then a screwdriver. The problem is the laws and courts are stacked against the small guys.

    With the iching and the burning? I've had that.

  6. D&D First Wives Club on Playing Games While Not Ruining Your Relationship? · · Score: 1

    In college I played a lot of D&D, all sunday, every sunday(except sometimes I would take a midday break to watch football). So my girl and the other girls who us nerds were dating hung out on sunday, talking, shopping, homework ... whatever. That seemed to work pretty well.

  7. Re:One-Dimentional lawsuits on 'They Can Sue, But They Can't Hide' · · Score: 1

    Good now that you have seen the obvious bias on /. you should be able to see it in the article as well, NYTimes. Now look hard and you will see the subtle bias everywhere.

  8. Re:Norm not all that great on Inquiry Into RIAA's Piracy Crackdown Tactics · · Score: 1

    True, Norm is more of a moderate but he is very buddy-buddy with the Bush family, and that helps give MN a big leg up with White House. Plus he really was a great mayor of St. Paul, and Norm is the guy who brought back hockey. Norm ain't perfect by any means but he is plenty good.

    I am from a MN and I work to help get this guy elected. I put up signs, stamped letters and made phone calls.

  12. 77th on Gender Inequality In Everquest · · Score: 3, Funny

    I am dissapointed in the EQ players, I hope they work harder next year and surpass russia.

  13. TSR on Games Workshop Tries to Crack Down on Internet Sales · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Isn't it similar type of thinking (different actions and time) that caused TSR so much trouble. Produce dervitive products, rarely innovate, deal with not very good business partners, no major marketing effort( as in TV, or Newspapers, target sci-fi shows and college newspapers), failing to reach new customers. If GW wants to see what not to do, TSR from a few years ago would be ripe with examples.

  14. Re:The US should rebuild Iraq on Rebuilding Iraq's Internet · · Score: 1

    Afgan is doing quite well they just got a $40 million Regency-Hyatt.

    Also if you want to stop the warlords ask the god damn pakis to help out instead of giving the Al-Queerda an easy way out.

    Lastly the UN really helped out in Rowanda when the genocides were going on in '94 and the UN said they would take care of it, they didn't.

    Also France and Russia did huge amounts of business with Saddam(not just oil but weapons, russian tanks, french air fighters... being sold as late as 2002!), thats why they should be locked out, and if the UN gets in there they would be the main two benefactors.

    Finally I never said the US should RUN Iraq just REBUILD it.

  15. Re:The US should rebuild Iraq on Rebuilding Iraq's Internet · · Score: 1
    The responsibility for re-building Iraq to a state equal to, or better than it's previous state is the sole responsibility of the United States and it's allies that joined the war.

    As somewho supported the war I agree. The US and its allies should have to rebuild, no one else should be allowed to do anything but humanaterian effort. No big oil contracts for the french or russians, No UN installed governments. This is the US's mess it should be their job to clean it up. If the iraqis want to do business with the french or russians they can, AFTER the rebuilding process is over, and only if the iraqis want back them in.

  16. Re:Screw the ACLU, they help NAMBLA on Congress to Make PATRIOT Act Permanent · · Score: 1

    Is yelling fire in a crowded theater free speech? No because people will panic and get hurt.

    Mabye I am not making myself clear. It is against the law for a 64 year old to have sex with a 10 year old and a form or rape. Should Nambla have the right to tell people to break the law(Rape children), how to break the law, etc...?

    KKK, neo-Nazis, and Christian Coalition pick on other races(first two) and ???(I'm sure the last one picks one someone). They target adults, adults have full reasoning capablities, and debating skills to defend themselves. Children don't and wouldn't be able to match up in a physical fight. Furthermore children are "awkward", they have meny emotional insecurities the sickos pray on. I am not so foolish as to think kids can be protected all the time but should the endangerment of children be protected?

  17. Re:The Red Scare on Congress to Make PATRIOT Act Permanent · · Score: 1

    Actually McCarthy was very accurate on who was a communist. What he did after that, the trials, hearings, grandstanding..., was unjust and unfair.

    But if he was a witch hunter he found witches, he shouldn't have tried to burn them at the stake.

    Of course I could be bias because there have only been really two politicians from WI(my state of birth) that are in/famous. (The other being Robert La Follette, a populist republican who almost made a run at the White House)

    Never give money to the ACLU they often help NAMBLA!!!! see google



    If you want to protect your right you could actually consider getting off your lazy ass and writing someone, as opposed to giving someone you never meet your money and hoping they do what you asked them to.

  19. Overated on Major Strike on Iraq Underway · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As far as I can tell this war is only slightly bigger then Kosovo. Why is it recieving so much attention? The protests were non existent. The media attention wasn't 1/100th this size in Kosovo or when Clinton bombed Iraq. What am I missing?

    The U.N. didn't approve either action, so it doesn't seem likely. Both Saddam and Milosevic are very evil men who commited "ethnic cleansings." Why is everyone getting so angry and childish? "Bush is an evil oilman/warmonger" "I'll never buy anything from France again"

    Americans for Fair Electronic Commerce Transactions, is reporting that the American Bar Association has withdrawn its consideration for endorsing a resolution to approve UCITA, the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act. This is a good thing.

  25. Get off you high horse on Open Source, Closed Documentation? · · Score: 1

    You complain becuase some one has the gaul to suggest that instead of being a slave to the community he has the right to earn some cash and feed his family.
    What have you ever done for open source anyway? Developing quality software is not cheap unless you find people willing to donate time. Of couse development is only a small part of the cost of software, support is buy far the most expensive and you want that too.
