  1. Re:Disproven in minutes on PS3 GPU Less Powerful Than GeForce 7800? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am glad you got 1st post on this. Expect alot more xbox false propaganda to come on slashdot and beyond. This is hurting M$ xbox reputation more than helping.

  2. Re:Hrm, that's funny on EU/UK Retailers Gear Up For PSP Launch · · Score: 1

    What's funny is that the PSP articles in slashdot uses a Gameboy icon. PSP gets that little respect outside Japan.

  3. Re:No the didn't on New Algorithm for Learning Languages · · Score: 4, Informative

    Try this free website out. http://www.freetranslation.com/

    I know it is fairly accurate because I have fooled my spanish speaking friends once in an IM conversation. I told them I learned spanish via hypnosis and basically just copy/pasted everything spanish into IM. The conversation went on for like 15 minutes full spanish before I told them I was using the website. They were pissing their pants.

  4. Re:What about... on My Life As An Online Gamer · · Score: 1

    About that reflex thing, when I was at the peak of pumping insane hours into Wolfenstein Enemy Territory my reflex was unbelieveable too. Feels like you are in speed mode all day.

    I hardly play any FPS nowadays, and my reaction time feel really slow. I keep telling my relatives there is something to gain when you play 40 hrs of RTCW. But no one believe me.

  5. Re:Fake moon landing! on Walk on the Moon in IMAX 3D · · Score: 0

    First US moon landing has already been faked once on national TV. Read the "70 Greatest Conspiracies of all Time". The evidences in this book are overwhelming.

  6. Re:Wrong Way on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 4, Funny

    Unless I can change the microsoft flag to the firefox icon I am not interested. Oh wait, I already have firefox.

  7. Re:A quick (perhaps flawed) analysis.... on Activision Accused Of Trying To Kill Off Indie Studio · · Score: 1

    After buying/playing united offensive, I still have a bad after taste from the expansion pack.

  8. Re:Whatever happened to Kyro on Building a $1K Gaming Rig · · Score: 1

    I truely missed Matrox. Their classic G200 had 2D performance that were superior for desktops workstation for years. There was no fans, it never overheated. G200s lasted an eternity in a closed case PC. You can even upgrade the memory in a memory slot on the graphics card. To upgrade memory nowadays, you would have to basically buy a new Nvidia/ATI.

  9. Re:Possible Title on Capcom May Be Prepping Street Fighter 4 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I told you people to stop buying EA games. Marvel granted EA the exclusive rights as worldwide licensing agent Marvel heroes product as of early 2004. To sum it up, you'll never see another Marvel vs Capcom title ever again.

    Want to here something top secret? EA lawyers are busy trying to license all genuine military weapons manufactured in the US. There might not be any more FPS with real guns besides the Battlefield series in the future. Sounds crazy now, but watch...

  10. Re:Last Ninja 4! on The Heartbreak of Canceled Games · · Score: 1

    I went over a buddies house to try Ninja Gaiden out and it was impossible to frustrating. If this was any other ninja game without the "Ninja Gaiden" label, I really wonder if people would actually enjoy it.

    This is at least 4x harder than the hardest NG game from the NES era. And that's being generous.

  11. What about Mods on The Crowbar Returns - HL2 Aftermath · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have practically downloaded every free mod available for HL2. So far they all feel very beta-ish. Plan of Attack, Garry's physics mod, strider mod, you name it... it seems like the HL1 mods were much more fun.

  12. Re:Certification saves the highers butt. on What's the Point of IT Certifications? · · Score: 1

    Certification can also back fire. I have seen people happily get a fulltime position with their certification.

    Then management/HR decides over the years to decline raises and bonuses. Based on the fact that these people were hired on certifcations and that their skills/cert have expired. Some cruel things out there.

  13. Re:Bundles price isn't a big deal on A Look Back At Expensive System Launches · · Score: 1

    The FTC classify "Switch and Bait" as refusing to sell you something that is available in the Ad. What the stores can do is have only 1 xbox360 core, and have it purposely sold out.

    They can legally then say they ran out of supplies and sucker you into paying for the expensive bundle. Which they will probably stock 50+ units of. It's too early to make a judgment we don't know how they are boxed.

  14. Re:Nice review! on OpenOffice 2.0 vs. MS Office Review · · Score: 1

    I have tried OpenOffice and cannot believe the distance it has gone the past couple years. In fairness I still think it needs to bundle an email client as good as outlook to top it off.

  15. Tilt has been done on Rumour Control on the Revolution Controller · · Score: 1, Informative

    The M$ sidewinder freestyle pro already has tilt control. That came out ages ago. And the tilt thing is overrated.

    Just buy this controller and try the tilt feature at home. You'll go back to the control pad after a week tops.

  16. Re:Here we go again.. on Gaming's Greatest Generation · · Score: 1

    Games nowadays are harder and more frustrating at times... but overall there are a ton of quality games to buy.

    I remember in the early/mid 90s when Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter was the best in store. That was it, I wasn't interested in anything else. It was sad thinking these were the last 2 games I would ever play.

  17. Re:... look around more :) on Report Claims Men More Intelligent Than Women · · Score: 1

    Ok I was just reading a few posts here there were 100 posts. I did a refresh in like 30 seconds, and it was already at 200 posts.

  18. Re:On the other hand... on Uneducated IT Managers, and How to Deal? · · Score: 1

    When they give out raises he might have the advantage.

  19. Re:Shenmue III on 10 Next-Generation Franchise Comebacks · · Score: 1

    That game put sega over the budget single handedly. It costed them millions to make Shenmue.

    Yet only a small handful or people even played it. The shenmue mp3 available on overclock remix is great. If they released a 12 chapter, I'll be interested even for the actual game music alone.

  20. Re:No it's 75 on Intel Branding Media Center PCs as "Viiv" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bestbuy employee: Good day sir!

    Customer: Hi, Do you know where I can find the VIIV.

    Bestbuy employee: Yes sir, just go down the hall, take a left. The bathroom is right around the corner.

  21. Re:Movie Theaters are Obsolete on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    I have so many stories just like yours. There should be a screen dedicated to just teenagers. That pack can't sit with regular adults and kids under 10.

  22. Re:About Time. on Intel and Laptop RAID? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The title really should be HARDWARE RAID. Software RAID has always been possible on laptops.

  23. First Christmas on PSP Usage Lower Than Expected · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wait till after first christmas. The PSP was launched way earlier than it needed to be.

  24. Re:Real Bigness on Chinese Websites Used As Launchpads For Cracking · · Score: 1

    You have got to kidding. GWB has created more hate-propaganda than any other president of the recent eras. Yes even more than Bush senior. He's setting up the next president as a disaster who would most likely be democratic.

  25. Re:What's so special ... on Terabyte DVD Recorder Available Next Month · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Since PCs only have so many IDE/SATA buses, you want to squeeze into as little number of drives as possible. Really I miss the days of SCSI and 10+ devices daisy chain.
