  1. Re:I have.... on Prepping For The 360 · · Score: 1

    What are you smoking? I built myself a PC 2 months ago [Athlon 64bit 3200+ (939), 2GB Corsair, 6800gt, new case, Antec 550W and a Dell 2005 FPW 20.1WS for 1200$]. Add a HDD and some bells and whistles for 200 more $. Where the hell did you come up with 1500$? The fact is i could have built a decent machine for 700-900$ but chose to go overboard (display cost me 392$).

    Dumbest thing you heard eh? I already feel sorry for you nerdling. Oh the power of an AC. *more ducking and running*

    You guys are all jealous because he gets to meet all the older chicks without having the Tom Hanks machine and stuff. *ducking and running*

  5. Re:Who cares? on Fatal Flaw Weakens RFID Passports · · Score: 1

    Neither funny nor troll. More like -5:Ignorant and if you keep persisting -5:Stupid. There is so much outside this country to go and absorb and experience. Remember, the rest of the world has had far advanced civilizations before white man had touched this land. Also, how old is American history? *cough* 300 years? *cough* 400 years? I am not trolling here - you have much to learn once you get outta your home, hometown, state, country, planet....blah.

  6. something like this eh... on Fatal Flaw Weakens RFID Passports · · Score: 1

    *engage dr.cool subtle mode*

    *whip out elite passport RFID reader*

    Elite hax0r formerly known as script kiddie: Hey that's a neat passport! Can i see it?

    Dumb user sans tin-foil armor: Wait don't you have one?

    Elite hax0r: Yeah but mine's from Greenland - look it's all purple and stuff

    Dumb user soon to be victim of a passport RFID theft: Oh ok here you go

    *scan scan scan*

    Seriously, how does this protect the passport when it's open or it gets opened while in a bag or someone opens it to check something or .... you get the idea?!

    I didn't upset anyone. Well maybe the nanny but that's a long story. Pssh.

  8. Re:The Real Reason on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    Why does this remind me of "Badger Badger Badger..."?

  9. Dude!! on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    Delete your paladin and roll a shaman. This is a little OT but seriously though, alliance are all pretty and stuff but they suck as a rule on most servers. This is because they are too busy admiring their female characters or because the horde are usually ex-alliance who know how to play the game.

    If i was a paladin, i'd put my shield on against all those flames that are gonna hit me but since i am not,
    /ducking

  10. Ha on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    I knew a guy named "Thatguythere". He was asked to have his name changed and Blizzard's GMs rejected 32 of his other choices and finally gave him the name "Thronwe". He said "WTF" and i said "WTF". I also saw a guild named "Fornicating Skulls" for a couple of months before they vanished.

    Bottomline: The GMs usually don't care unless someone reports your name or your guild name. Then they become all gungho because some idiot is being offended by something really non-offensive. Someone reported your name Taco. Reporting for some people is their way of "griefing". F**kers.

  11. Re:Your binary world ... on The H-1B Swindle · · Score: 1

    You are a moron. H1Bs are taxed. Worse yet, they cannot claim social security benefits.

  12. Re:Statist Musical Chairs on Senator Wants to Keep U.N. Away From the Internet · · Score: 1

    First, the first sentence is grammatically incorrect (did found?). Second the internet might have been born here but doesn't mean for a second that aliens (people from other countries) didn't pitch in. Stop using that freedom word so much - that sounds so familiar. The solution here is to let people from the rest of the world have a say in how things are run - getting that solution out is a totally different story. Enough of the "we created this - so we are going to tell you how to use it" stance.

  13. Re:If this kind if thing is a concern on Intel Slashes Computer Startup Times · · Score: 1

  16. Sigh on Microsoft Infected by Virus · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Can someone mod down the idiots who thought this was funny and posted "funny" stuff about Windows service packs and Outlook so that they can get some karma. Kids, please grow up. Mod me troll or whatever but this article is very much in bad taste. As for the morons, who thought this funny or saw this as a chance for karma-whoring, i feel sorry for your pathetic lives.

    You think that Solo would be mad if Canada went to war with Denmark over his island? What are the odds?

  20. well what about that post on slashdot... on Women Control the DVR · · Score: 1

  25. Re:alas on Unlocking the GeForce 6800 · · Score: 1

    I paid for using the card for an year. I paid 300$ for a card an year ago which costs about 120$ now *shrug* - the card saw hell in the last one year thanks to Farcry, HL2 and other eyecandy games. If i like something enough, i am willing to pay for it.
    An year from now, you will live one less year :) - doesn't mean the whole year didn't make a difference in your life.
