  1. Re:How few? on Major Security Hole Found In Rails · · Score: 1

    Melodeo's podcast site runs on rails.

  2. Oblig. Simpsons on Garriotts See Shakeup To MMOG Industry Coming · · Score: 1

    Well, sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, don't touch it, but I predict that within 100 years, computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.

  3. More info would be nice... on 2005 Moddb Award Results · · Score: 1
    This article might be a good rundown of the best mods of the year for someone in the modding community, but for me as an outsider, this was terrible. Some of the descriptions of the mods were decent, however I found most to be useless.

    For example:

    Most mods struggle to introduce a few new guns, models, maps etc... This isn't surprising either, to add one model you have to make it, skin it, add sounds, sprites, animate it and then code it in..... christ almighty!! Forgotten Hope hasn't just added a few toys to play with either, they've added __250__ new things from guns to tanks to planes to people. That is one hell of an effort and this is one hell of a mod. Hats off to this team for a fantastic job. Play IT.

    Such information as, say, what game this is a mod for and what exactly the mod does would have been nice. What they provide is a good indication of what sets this mod apart from others, but not much else.

  4. Re:Morrowind was amazing, and crap on Elder Scrolls IV Will Fit On One Disc · · Score: 1
    The Knights of the Old Republic series is the best paced, best balanced series I know that is broken up into definable levels but still feels open-ended since you can do them in any order and must occasionally revisit them.
    This is exactly opposite how I felt about KOTOR. I thought it was a fun game that was definitely entertaining, but I, a huge Star Wars fan, lost interest because it felt to me like one of those Final Fantasy-ish console RPGs. Everyone talks about how open-ended the game was when I thought it suffered too much from the "go here to get the red key which lets you get the blue key which leads to the green key..." formula.
  5. Since the original has 15 pages... on 10 Failed Technology Trends of 2005 · · Score: 1

    Link to the "print" version.

  6. Re:cheap? on Nanotech Brings Cheap Flat TVs From Diamond Dust · · Score: 1

    This will become obsolete once I unveil my solid gold LCD technology!

    And you can't smoke dohja at a cyber cafe.

  8. Re:The real reason it's not a threat on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 1

    I concur. Someone came over to my house the other day and wanted to use my computer to look something up on the internet, and I told him to use firefox. His reply: "Oh, is that your internet explorer?"

  9. Re:Who will notice? on Mozilla Releases Firefox 1.0 RC1 · · Score: 1

  10. I can't wait... on C++ In The Linux kernel · · Score: 1

    until the kernel supports java.

  11. Re:missing adblock on Building a Better Mozilla With Plugins · · Score: 1

    I used those filters for a while, but I found them too far-reaching. For example, using those filters, some of the content from The Onion and LiveJournal get blocked.

  12. Wireless Forums? on Pushing Wi-Fi's Limits: Problems and Solutions · · Score: 1

    I've recently been having trouble with some wireless hardware. After exhausting the hardware manufacturer's support options, I looked for general wireless support forums, and didn't seem to find very many. Can anyone recommend a good place to get support for wireless hardware?

  13. Hotmail Premium on Hotmail, Others Follow Gmail's Storage Boost · · Score: 1

    I'm stuck using Hotmail for a while, even though I have plenty of newer, easier to use email addresses because hotmail doesn't allow automatic email forwarding. I don't care much about storage space, but I would pay for hotmail premium if it would let me access my hotmail with POP3.

  14. Re:Very clean! on Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 Release Candidates Out · · Score: 5, Funny

    This could provide a refreshing break from your porn links as you peruse his.

  15. Games on What Keeps You Off of Windows? · · Score: 1

    When Windows can play all the latest 3D games, then I'll make the switch; the linux emulators just don't give me good framerates.

  18. Re:A drawer! on Creative Uses for 5.25" Drive Bays? · · Score: 1

    To answer my own question, I just found one place that sells these things: Inferno Technologies.

    Here's the direct link: Superbox.

    Here's the companies' page with a little info: Senfu's Superbox page.

  19. Re:A drawer! on Creative Uses for 5.25" Drive Bays? · · Score: 1

    Does anybody know where to buy one of these things? I've been trying to find a store that sells them and all I find on google is reviews. Any help?
