  1. Re:Prior art. on Musical Wings Reduce Aircraft Stall Risk · · Score: 1

    Try this if your having problems

  2. Re:Region Codes on Lik-Sang.com Taken to Court By Sony · · Score: 1

    Intellectual Property is an obstruction to free trade and the free market, but you'll never hear any government body speak out against it.

  3. Re:Don't let the state nany, take some responsibil on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think it's fair to say both the Democrats and the Republicans are at the forefront of censorship. Ashcroft had the Spirit of Justice statue covered up because of a boobie for example which also costed $8000 for the curtain at tax payers expense.

  4. Re:Huh? on U.N. To Govern Internet? · · Score: 1

    The thing is the UN can't. They can try all they want for it, but there is nothing they can do if the US doesn't want to give up. They won't pass sancations against us, that would just hurt everyone so in the end unless the US cares to give it up, nothing is going to happen.

    UN: Give us control
    US: No
    UN: C'mon...please..
    US: How about....no!

  5. Re:Is a casual MMORPG even possible? on MMOGs Reaching For Casual Gamers · · Score: 1

    Blizzard is attempting to reach out to both casual and hardcore. Molten Core, Onyxia's Lair (Onyxia isn't as time consuming, but it requires group coordination), and the upcoming Blackwing's Lair are hardcore raid instances.

    They are also planning on debuting raids that can be done with about 20 people in a 3 hours the most. That I find casual or atleast more casual than the hardcore instances, and once people get it to an exact science it will be far quicker.

    What I like to see are soloable mini instances that maybe take an hour the most for someone to complete and have decent drops along the way.

    Blizzard is also changing the way PVP works for rewards. Rewards usuabilty are now going to be usable based on the highest rank achieved, not the players current rank. It should make people not have to feel they have to PVP every single moment to maintain their rewards. However, it will still take a lot of work to move up the ranks.

    I think WoW is the best MMORPG to balance both casual and hardcore elements. It's still a developing game and I think both aspects will continue to develop along.

  6. Re:Which way? on Justice O'Connor Retiring · · Score: 1

    Political affliations means little when it comes to the Supreme Court, voting record is more important, and you'll find that many of the decisions the the SC has made has not always gone the way of the ruling party.

  7. Re:death and taxes on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 1

    Looks like you won't be able to get a one up by having unpaid taxes on the government anymore by dying.

  8. Good ol' Poland on 164 Million Broadband Subscribers Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Poland was the first Eastern European country to join the 'million broadband lines' club.

    We almost forgot about them.

  9. Re:ARGH! on Windows XP N a Bust · · Score: 1

    Monopolies would not be much of an issue if we had a true free market, but if your are going to restrict the market with things such as copyright and patents then regulation is needed to deal with abuses of the system.

    Ron Paul (L-TX, well should be anyway, stupid ballot access laws), trys to recind big government laws but they always get shot down.

  11. Re:Maybe they can spend some of that money on 2 Million Azeroth Citizens · · Score: 1

    Are you totally sure you have 40 on both sides? If so it could be that people have themselves in line for one specific instance rather than any instance. If that's the case it won't start a third instance.

    Too bad it's the sad truth.

  13. Re:Now that China has WoW... on World of Warcraft Battlegrounds, Chinese Launch · · Score: 1

    Good tip to prevent "ninja looters" atleast for bosses who you know will drops blues, is to switch to master looter before you take the boss on, and then /random 1-100 for each item, and if someone rolls who clearly does not need it, can be ignored.

  14. Re:remember folks on 3.9 Million Citigroup Customers' Data Lost · · Score: 1

    I also seem to remember UPS misplacing the Stanley Cup in one of their warehouses. This event doesn't quite shock me, knowing the past history of it's carrier.

  15. Re:Brief synposis for a newbie? on WoW Reaches 1.5 Million Subscribers · · Score: 1

    WoW takes place I believe 5 years after the events of WC3.

  16. Re:More delays? 4 years running for this title... on Nintendo Dismisses October Zelda Launch · · Score: 1

    While it was good, it was pretty easy compared to past titles. I liked the storyline though, just wished it was a little more challenging.

  17. Re:It's not the end. on NASA Announces De-Orbit Mission For Hubble · · Score: 1

    The James Webb Space Telescope is not a replacement for the Hubble, as it only focuses on infrared while the Hubble covered many wavelengths.

  18. Re:I would rather see them dropping prices on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 1

    I don't know if they are still running the promotion or not, but if you lived in NY or NJ you could (or still can) have gotten 3.0/768k from Verizon for $29.99(plus the rape you in the ass fees) if you agreed to 1 year.

  19. Re:Been playing it on linux for almost a month... on World of Warcraft Shatters Sales Records · · Score: 1

    or get into large PVP battles. Yesterday, I was in Menithril and all of a sudden a huge group of horde come marching in about 50+. They ranged from lvl 14-60 and the delay that was cause by it was atleast 30 seconds. Blizzard did a fine job on this game, but this lag needs to be fixed, especially if they are planning these PVP battlegrounds.

  20. Good thing on Budget Issues Force Spy Satellites Into The Open · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've been wearing my tinfoil hat all these years, it's finally paid off!

  21. Re:As a Democrat... on Democrat Certified Winner in WA Governor Race · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Because you know the Republicans weren't telling the Democrats to shut their mouths when they were losing.

    The Byrd Amendment.

  23. Re:Cash purchases on Privacy Resolutions for the New Year · · Score: 1

    I tell them "No, I am not giving that info out." and it works just fine and if it doesn't then I leave the store and go somewhere else. Usually the stores that do ask are the stores that have the same inventory as 50 others.

  24. Re:Heh on Canada Quashes Copyright Tax on MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    I do think, though that these taxes are not a terrible idea, as it keeps the recording industry off of our backs for the most part.

    Yeah, it's like a geek paying the school bully his lunch money not to beat him up.

  25. Re:Great News on Hacker Sentenced To Longest US Sentence Yet · · Score: 1

    This wasn't an ordinary script kiddie, the person was trying to steal credit card information. While I'm against throwing most non-violent offenders in jail, this guy deserves to go to jail. Think of what could happen with this information, nothing good.
