  1. Re:Raises questions? on Pharmacare, Harvard Try To Shut Down Security Hole · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am not sure which is worse. A single social security number containing too much info about me. Or the need for a million different username and passwords for everything.

  2. Re:Can't Final Fantasy die already? on Ten Most Anticipated Games of 2005 · · Score: 1

    While I liked Final Fantasy X, the gameplay was nothing compared to Final Fantasy 7. Square games seem so downhill nowadays. They look better and better, but the gameplay gets shallower by the version.

  3. Re:EA is a plague on In Depth Reactions to EA / ESPN Deal · · Score: 1

    I have already boycotted purchasing ANY EA games. I damn well hope others do the same.

    Ever since they ate up Westwood Studios, I couldn't find anything that equaled the original RedAlert.

    I clap with joy to know Sims online was a disaster for the EA dictators.

  4. Re:Wow Marketing Director's are amazing! on NVIDIA Interview on the PS3 · · Score: 1

    No kidding, it's the same garbage you hear all the time. I'd like to see Nvidia or ATi put their manufacturing where their mouth is at.

    Their cards are always so impossible to find in stores. Both have seriously bad manufacturing delay records.

  5. Re:Superior format on Sony Admits MP3 Error · · Score: 1

    AllofMp3 is not illegal. It's legit in Russia.

    "All the materials in the MediaServices projects are available for distribution through Internet according to license # LS-3-03-79 of the Russian Multimedia and Internet Society."

    How do you know it's pirated? Do you work there? Maybe 2 cents in USD equates to something in Russian dollars. Brick & Mortar stores are the same price as Apple iTunes.

    $0.99 per song x 15 = $15 a CD.

    It's ok for people to buy a coat in Russia at bargain price. It's not ok for people to buy music in Russia at bargain price. WTF.

  6. Re:Superior format on Sony Admits MP3 Error · · Score: 1

    I almost wished Allofmp3.com did something out of the way to improve american customer base. I'd like iTunes to get some real competition and lower the price. Walmart 88 cents isn't good enough.

  7. Re:Meanwhile, in mom's basement. on Ex-Lover Deletes MMOG Character · · Score: 1

    You just got to find a really stupid one. One that can't even login. Then you are safe. You can also explain that your MMORPG is vpning to your work place, that's why you have to work so many hours.

  8. Re:level of interest on Games Better Than Books? · · Score: 1

    Yah I loved Oregon Trail. I learned so much about the trails and geography in general from that game. I also learned how to effectively shoot buffalos.

  9. Re:i should have on What You'll Wish You'd Known · · Score: 1

    not wasted so much money on an expensive college, when a cheaper one with the same education would do.

  10. In other news on Sony PSP Sales Way Up · · Score: 2, Funny

    - Nintendo talks about its long battery life superiority.

    - The DS will feature a brand new series in 2005: Mario DS, Metroid DS, Zelda DS. Followed by 2006 series of Mario 64 DS, Metroid DS, Zelda DS.

    - In 2008, Nintendo plans on releasing DS-more-color and DS advanced.

  11. Re:Trade secrets on Think Secret Gets Lawyer · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Pfff this whole thing is retarded. Apple was trying to accomplish 2 things.

    1.) Quick profit! from ThinkSecret.
    2.) Get some more publicity for the Tiny Mac Mini whatever.

  12. Re:Reply to my own question: Hymn on Apple and Pepsi Do it Again · · Score: 1

    If it was not for Hymn, I probably would never buy from iTunes knowing the file is permanently stuck to m4p format.

    I'd have to settle for allofmp3.com or something. Speaking of which, has anyone in the U.S found a way to buy from this site using non-credit card methods? I believe they discontinued paypal. And webmoney is russian.

  13. Re:Oppsie on LiveJournal Blackout Analysis Online · · Score: 1

    You mean that Staples commercial with the big EASY button is not a real product? I was waiting for it to go on sale.

  14. Re:Supernodes? on An Analysis of the Skype Protocol · · Score: 1

    Yeah I wish there was some noobish tutorial for Skype(tm) clients behind NAT firewall/router. It's one thing to explain mechanics, it's another to see it step by step.

  15. Re:Free email on Microsoft to Sell Outlook Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Most people would like a gmail account, except it's invite only. Any bum can get a hotmail account.

    Until gmail is wide open to the public, hotmail will always have the more popular appeal.

  16. Re:Contracts are part of the Laws too on Stan Lee to be Paid Millions for Spidey · · Score: 1

    I am just pissed at Stan Lee/Marvel in general cause there is still no sign of the uncanny X-men cartoon on any dvd box set. Well that's a different story altogether.

  17. Re:Why start now? on What Do You Do When Outsourcing Goes Bad? · · Score: 1

    When outsourcing really goes bad. You mind as well close shop.

    It's virtually impossible to rejustify to management that you need to bring whatever service back to the U.S at 10X the expense.

  18. Re:2 Years On, On LCD on Monitor Basics - LCD vs. CRT · · Score: 1

    I have a 19-inch CRT that has lasted thru some of the worst abuse, and I do mean abuse. Every one of my relatives with a LCD screen is already showing signs of problems after a year.

  19. Re:Linux is open-source on IBM Ordered to Show More Code to SCO · · Score: 1

    Seemed normal and
    Caught in
    Opensource

  20. Re:A Language or an API ? on Microsoft Research's C-Omega · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Well in M$ land visual basic is considered a language. Even though it's technically a bloated API on top of regular basic.

  21. Re:Nothing on PC Competition for the Mac mini? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I always found it ironic that people who NEED a processor as powerful as the G5 are clapping their hands over the space saved by Mac mini. If you really NEED power, then space shouldn't be an issue. In that case, I'd buy a PC many times more powerful at the price of a G5.

  22. Re:Not at all on No More Players for World of Warcraft - For Now · · Score: 1

    I was ready to try this game until my friend said he lost 2 hrs of progress via a database roll. I thought he was kidding until I read these articles.

  23. Re:Gillian Anderson? on Duchovny Says X-Files Sequel in Works · · Score: 1

    The Brady bunch reunion was short one of the Bradys. I see no reason why Gillian Anderson or David Duchovny is even needed. Especially when the original x-files movie had the characters feeling nothing like the tv show characters. They mind as well use Arnold Schwarhneger and Mini Driver. Pardon the spelling...

  24. Re:Marvel's just mad... on Marvel / NCSoft Litigation Update · · Score: 1

    Marvel have standalone RPG now in "X-men legends", I'll admit it's pretty damn good.

    Anyways, an imaginary character that looks identical to Wolverine but have an extra claw, is that really Wolverine? Or Peter Parker with a mustache?!

  25. Re:It doesn't use MLB branding? on Take Two in Talks with Major League Baseball · · Score: 1

    The deal hasn't gone thru completely yet. I hate to see Take Two against the wall. They're not going to win this way.

    The only way they'll win is if they made a football game engine so superior even the lack of real players wouldn't matter.
