  1. Re:Disorderly conduct? on Student Arrested for Writing Essay · · Score: 1

    Without taking the time to lookup the text of the law, I'm guessing it's supposed to apply to a direct or implied threat to an individual.

    That being said, most lawmakers are, for lack of a better word, stupid. So there's a pretty good chance it's written poorly.

    Or develop for both DX9 and DX10, like Flight Simulator.

  3. Re:It means nothing. on Dell To Offer Win XP On Consumer PCs Again · · Score: 1

    Honestly, twitter if you didn't come of as a total twit, people might actually listen to you.

    I don't know if that's a good thing or not, because IMHO you act like you're mentally deficient. So throw in a dozen more M$'s and really do a good job spreading whatever message you're trying to spread.

  4. Re:You ain't seen nothing yet on Talking CCTV to Scold Offenders in UK · · Score: 1

    My new form of shopping entertainment would be to trigger the voice non-stop, every time I picked something up, without, of course, shoplifing anything.

    I'll work out the points system later. The bonus round will be pure fun.

  5. Re:IIS can't be paravirtualized on Virtualizing Cuts Web App Performance 43% · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I do not understand people that make mission-critical IIS-only webapplications, isnt that just stupid?

    No.

    It's no different from focusing on any other major corporate product. ASP.NET isn't going away anytime soon and it's not going to fall over anytime soon.

    It's run by Microsoft. Despite what the ranting morons around here think, Microsoft is not going away, IIS is not an insecure mess and it's actually a really good platform for web applications.

    Now, that being said, use the best tool for the job, otherwise you're just stupid.

    like "if the nipple or any identifyable portion thereof is shown in any form and any context, then it needs to go .xxx".

    Great, your task is to explain that rule to http://www.lalecheleague.org/ .

    Since they are moving to Nvidia style drivers

    I think Nvidia is moving to Creative style drivers, crappy, buggy and non-stop beta.

    If I remember my history correctly, They didn't just buy Aureal, they bankrupted them thru frivolous litigation first.

    Creative drivers have a tendency to, um...putting it nicely, SUCK horribly.

    Well, that's just stupidity in action. But a good point none the less.

  11. Re:You forgot MySpace on Do You Allow Webmail Use on Your Network? · · Score: 1

    it's too big of a business for this to be excusable.

    Seriously, why is this considered horrible? Someone might sniff a myspace password? It's Myspace, Everquest ranks higher in the securiy list.

    It took thousands of workers eight months to clear 1.8 billion tons of debris from the sixteen acres of the World Trade Center site in New York.

    It's ok, if it erupts then Rudy Giuliani & Christie Whitman will declare the air is safe and we'll condemn some more people to a slow horrible death, just like the WTC.

  13. You can't label unsafe on SCO Chair's Anti-Porn Act Advances In Utah · · Score: 1

    This is basic stuff, but for some reason people (lawmakers) can't understand it.

    You can't blanket label 'unsafe' content.

    It doesn't work, simply because some of those who produce the 'unsafe' content aren't going to follow the labeling. Whether it is ports, PICS, or even the evil bit. (Apr 1 coming soon)

    You CAN produce a blanket 'safe' content network and deny all other content. '.kids' is a great idea as long as it's set up properly. With strict guidelines and large financial penalties for breaking the rules a .kids TLD combined with PICS tags would work fine.

    This also goes for hosts who have their firewalls set up wrong, DENY ALL, allow some.

    Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

    Where does regurgitating others sayings fall on the list?

    Good point, but if you work at it, one day you might be funny.

    And I don't just mean funny looking, there is hope for you.

    I was going for humor. I actually play PS now and then. It's a fun game, but like all SOE games, it suffers from SOEitis.

    Sony, would it kill you to design a new base layout once a year? Or balance the game (yea good luck).

    Unfortunately, this is not SOE, this is SCE. Sony Online Entertainment is the company currently fucking up the following games:

    Everquest
    Everquest 2
    Everquest in space (SWG)
    Everquest in computer (Matrix)
    Everquest in space with less content (Planetside)
    Everquest alpha .5 (Vanguard)

  19. Some other things not to discuss on Five Things You Can't Discuss about Linux · · Score: 0, Troll

    Q: Can "The Linux" compete with Microsoft, Apple or Sun?
    A: Depends. On the desktop, no. On the server, rarely. Embedded in a microwave oven or something, yes.

    Q: Do "The Linux" so-called experts have an attitude problem?
    A: Watch how this is modded.

    Q: Will large "The Linux" users eventually get sued by some corporation for patent violations?
    A: Oh hell yes.

  21. Re:Nostalgic name, but that's it. on Commodore Returns with New Gaming PCs · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, I'm just wondering how far they'll carry the nostalgia.

    Will the system have a built in C64 emulator? Will they just toss in some Commodore desktop logos and screen-savers?

    I have no brand loyalty anymore for systems, I just got tired of building my own. If this is priced reasonably I'll buy it for the sticker.

    There is rumours that Vista will have the Flash-as-Swap(tm) ability built in.

    It's called readyboost. It's not the same as the swapfile, it's actually more optimized.

  24. Well, good luck on Are Exclusive Games GameStop's Secret Weapon? · · Score: 1

    Good luck GameStop, because your customer service SUCKS.

    My local store has 5 employees, yet there's always a line. Why is this? Well, yesterday it was because 4 of the employees were busy talking about their girlfriends and sorting thru a box of games instead of taking care of the customers.

    Maybe it's because the PC games consist of 3 racks, most of them in random order. Console games are not in much better shape.

    Maybe it's because they never have anything new in stock.

    Got the Command and Conquer 3 pre-order disc in? No. Want to reserve it anyway? Um, no, I actually wanted the disc, I'll go somewhere that actually keeps a stock.
