  1. Re:Brainstorm on Microsoft Not Worried about FireFox · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hey you forgot...

    4) OS-Bundle-Technology - the browser needs to be locked into the OS permanently thru a billion registry keys. This way it will prevent competing no-good browsers to install.

  2. Re:Stupid is as stupid does on GTA Blamed for Graffiti · · Score: 1

    News like this should not get any publicity. It's best for the video game community and media to keep this one quiet.

    Simply it's the act of one stupid kid who's too afraid to blame his parent cause they'll beat the shit out of him. So he blames GTA. So many dysfunctinoal family in this damn country, and the media is capitalizing on them.

  3. Re:Oh Damn! on The Coming Atlantic Mega-Tsunami · · Score: 1

    Hey the only thing that matters is we have slashdot in case of a global disaster.

  4. Re:well on eBay Retires MS Passport Sign-In · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Man I had a .net account. I always frequently login. Out of the blues one day, my password just locked me out. I emailed the M$ support folks, and not a single person replied. My account was just gone basically, and no one gave a shit.

    What picture? It's pitch dark to me.

  6. Re:Bwahaha. on Top Ten Things About the Sony PSP · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    People need to stop bashing the battery issue. You want to hear about battery issues? Look at the iPod's internal battery. Once that thing fries you can't recharge it, and you have to pay $99 to have Apple replace it for you. The PSP is nowhere close to that bad. If iPod can have a monopoly, so can the PSP.

  7. Failed Pentium on More Analysis Of Pentium M Desktops · · Score: 5, Funny

    So is Pentium M just a bunch of failed Pentium processors that didn't fare well in the assembly line? Sort of like Celeron... cough cough.

  8. Re:Free? on Texas State Parks Offer Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    At that price I don't really need the Internet that bad.

  9. Re:Really? on India Quietly Introduces Software Patents · · Score: 1

    I hate it when people assume China is so corrupted that patents can't even be created.

    You better check this list. As of 2004 China is no where close to Haiti and Bangledesh, which is bottom of the global corruption list every year.

  10. Re:They do it because there are no reprecusions. on Player vs. Player Play Examined · · Score: 1

    Bleeders are people who damage you 99%, leaving you with 1% health so someone else can finish you off.

    Yeah I did leave out 7.

  11. Re:Excellent! on First ZSNES Release In ~2.5 Years · · Score: 1

    Try this link out. This is one of the FEW weblinks that still offer really good roms. And I do mean good... from SegaCD to SNes etc, all working. Someone from slashdot recommended this to me way back.

  12. Re:They do it because there are no reprecusions. on Player vs. Player Play Examined · · Score: 1

    This is how I rank the list from worst being number 1. The industry has no answer. I don't care how much you pay monthly.

    1.) Cheaters

    2.) TKers

    3.) Griefers

    4.) Bleeders

    5.) Idler / Laggers

    6.) Script Modders (people who modify scripts to do ridiculous things at the press of a single button. Example: duck, shoot, reload.)

    8.) Recruiters

    9.) Spammers

    10.) Racist offensive players

  13. Re:Isolating your development... on Torvalds on Opening Solaris · · Score: 1

    That's an aweful example. Of course Sun is going to know how to handle Sun hardware better.

    Only thing Solaris is better at, is the need to never recompile the kernel.

    Above all, I am sick and tired of people using Solaris as a comparison. I think Linux is good enough now that the community should use AIX as a comparison.

  14. Re:Appeal? on Valve Bans Another 30,000 Steam Users · · Score: 1

    I know of someone whose computer has fried. So obviously he hasn't been playing HL2. Yet he was banned somehow. He's trying to contact Valve to see how in the world this could happen.

  15. Re:Yes that right on China Closes 1,129 Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Damn, this might have been the best post I have ever read on slashdot. No sarcasim here.

    We Americans are swimming in so much corporate and government abuse that we don't even know it.

  16. Re:Sequels on The Year in Gaming · · Score: 1

    I wish the industry would stop calling games by sequel numbers. Doom 3 didn't have to be called Doom 3. It could have been Doom 2004 or Doom Mars in Hell, etc.

    As soon as marketing gets lazy and start naming games 1,2,3 people complain about too many sequels. If sports titles did this, there would be a million sequels.

  17. Playstation2 on 2004 Year-End Google Zeitgeist · · Score: 1

    Playstation 2 would have been ahead of xbox if it wasn't also known as PS2. The searches for PS2 + playstation2 would have been ahead of xbox.

  18. Re:Britney on 2004 Year-End Google Zeitgeist · · Score: 3, Funny

    There is actually a mistake. She was also supposed to be on the sports list.

  19. Hotmail on Mozilla Lightning to Challenge Outlook · · Score: 1

    The biggest complain about Outlook is the lack of multiple hotmail account support. Even the latest and greatest Outlook version can only have 1 hotmail account per login. Anyone know if Lightning can do better? I already dumped IE for firefox, maybe this is next.

  20. Re:They should make a law against this. on NBA Rejects EA Deal · · Score: 1

    The goal is NOT to make better games. The goal is to stall as many years as possible with the same game engine.

    The EA sport divisions are burning out with some serious unpaid overtime. The company can't afford to pay these employees... just read the latest issue of GameInformer magazine. So they have to use last years football game engine for 2005-2010. Update the roster, ship with a new athlete cover and call it a new game.

  21. Re:Contrinutions on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    This year I couldn't help but went on a spending spree on video games. I easily topped $300 myself, not including hardware accessories.

    I am worried, because 2004 rode so high with so many good games. How in the hell is 2005 going to top that?! I think Gran Turismo is the only thing left in 2005.

    You'll know it is completed when the IRS is at your frontdoor. "Mr. developer your excellent opensourced software made millions. I don't know where the money went, but you still owe us anyways."

  23. Re:Buy an nvidia card on ATi Drivers for Linux that Work? · · Score: 1

    ATI cards are horrible. I say it again. It's absolutely trash! I have fried 3 ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB this year due to the fan just dying. That's a record. I run open cased, no overclocking with a 600-watt powersupply. If it wasn't for the RMAs and double warranty, I would have lost $$$. Again, go Nvidia. I had a Geforce2 which lasted 3 years. ATI needs to learn how to NOT bundle a $300 card with a $2 plastic fan.

  24. Re:PSP defects? on Defect in PSPs Turns Disks Into Throwing Stars · · Score: 1

    I swear it's a conspiracy against Sony to keep the Nintendo handheld monopoly intact. There is no way we can average a new defect article every freaking day.

    I personally saw the DS at EBgames, and tried it out. Depending on how abusive you are, these types of articles can easily be written. Oh I pressed the button too hard. Now DS automatically have bad defective buttons. See how easy it is to make garbage news!

    That's why I was looking for the top 10 science honor list from like 1999 or 2003. I wanted to compare where older lists have gone. I couldn't find squat!
