    Yeah, he's a real dope. No intelligence at all. Hummm... kinda remains me of you. ::rolls eyes::

  2. Hex Games on Developing Games with Perl and SDL · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Are there any good development tools out there for developing hex-based games?

    Don't care about the platform or the language.

    So that's what you call it.

  4. Re:Why is NAT so bad? on How Things Will Change Under IPv6 · · Score: 1

    I agree but if someone has comprised one of your machines inside your NAT then it still doesn't matter if they know your IP address.

  5. Re:Why is NAT so bad? on How Things Will Change Under IPv6 · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about?

    It doesn't matter if you know the internal ip address of someone behind a NAT router you still can't get there from the outside.

    Your right, everyone at Microsoft is a complete idiot. ::rolls eyes::

    So glad you are here to clear that up, oh ye of such intelligence!

  7. Re:Arrays and Pointers on Arrays vs Pointers in C? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I would guess that most don't know this.

  8. Re:We Vote For these People? on States Planning to Require License to Sell on EBay · · Score: 1

    You do know that most Americans never do a budget correct?

    I believe they should but that is another story.

  9. Arrays and Pointers on Arrays vs Pointers in C? · · Score: 1

    Quick code:
    main() {

            int z;
            int x[2] = {1,8};
            z = 1;
            printf("Value of array: %d\n", z[x]);

    }

    What happens?

  10. Re:So stupid... on Creators of Massive Botnet Arrested · · Score: 1

    I believe some studies have shown that criminals have self-esteem problems.

    Instead of thinking they are not good enough they think they are simply smarter and more important than anyone else.

    I would guess they never dreamed they would be caught.

  11. Re:Environmentalists: shut up. on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 1

    Are you serious? You are really going to go a tree-spiking adventure?

    Why? What is the reasoning? What do you hope to accomplish?

  12. Re:What about the rest of the world? on Google Maps Graduates · · Score: 1

    Well, you are being rude and quite selfish.

    Because you are saying that an American company should not release any software unless the whole world is mapped?

    That's alot of data and alot of time needed to collect it all.

    I can't believe you want no one to have Google local because you don't have it.

  13. What about users that have a choice? on Firefox Momentum Slows · · Score: 1

    I would be curious to know how the % would rise when there was a reasonable choice involved.

    For instance many people have to use a certain browser at work, or with a certain ISP(thinking AOL, ok I know you don't have to but few aol users realize this)

    I would think subtracting these users out of the equation would yield different results. Though I doubt these number would be easy to come by.

    Ever heard the phrase 'never look a gift horse in the mouth' ?

    Going along with that I understand the engineering side of sony has been frustrated by the media side sony limiting them.

  16. Re:Cordless drill on What's On Your Tech Bench? · · Score: 1

    You must have a clutch and the smaller and lighter the better.

    I had a cheap little cordless drill that worked great. Battery lasted, easy to work with, and easy on the arms.

  17. Re:Single player Mods? on Dystopia Mod Released for HL2 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Most of the mods are still being worked on.

    Here is a list I have found

  18. Re:The new Tamagotchi? on Nintendogs Sells Quarter of a Millions Units · · Score: 1

    I believe so.

    But it is much better done from the reviews.

    You can 'pet' the dog with the touch screen.

    He will get sick and look ragged if you don't take care of him etc.

    I think a lot of nice touches have been added to the game.

    While I don't have a DS and probably never will, I find the concept of the game silly and fascinating all at the smae time.

    Maybe I find it fascinating that people find the game fascinating.

    Nevertheless, I enjoy seeing interesting games like this even if I never play them.

  19. Re:Cash CoW indeed on Blizzard's Warcraft Booty · · Score: 1

    Never ran a business huh?

    Just because they received $50,000 it will cost the company 50-100 % extra for each employee.

    Taxes, health insurance, etc.

    I am not saying that Blizzard is not making a lotsa cash, but up the 25 million to 50 million.

    I also think an average of 50K is low. So I would once again up the 50 million to 75 million.

    Yeah, that's great. But when you send your mother a word doc it is best to stick with zip files.

  21. Re:Electricity, Plumbing, Internet on Small Town USA Competing With India · · Score: 1

    You haven't been to Chicago have you?

    Mind it's a different kind of racism and it goes both ways.

    The racism found in West Virginia was mostly out of ignorance and harmless.

    The racism in Chicago was based on the experience.

    i.e. a friend of mine was the only white girl on the girls basketball team.

    After one season of being harassed teased and everything else.

    She quickly came to dislike blacks and their culture.

    She did have some friends that were black but overall she was bitter.

    She was not the only one.

    No, it doesn't.

    Most people know "begs the question" means "raises the question."
