  1. Re:I've always wondered how the holodeck worked. on VirtuSphere Immersive Virtual Reality · · Score: 1

    Kinda, there still is a problem when you have more then one physical person inside the holodeck. Those two bodies can be over 10 meters in distance.

  2. Re:Start a venture! on Pre-Selling Domain Names? · · Score: 1

    Domains can have multiple contesting parties, they will be listed in order of the last owner.

    And yea, DNS goes against everything that is internet. Fixit.

  3. Re:Dam that is some plague..... on World of Warcraft is Infectious · · Score: 1

    Maybe after extreme excercise the warrior would be more vulnerable but I can't belive overall that the CPA has a better immune system then a physically fit brute.

  4. Start a venture! on Pre-Selling Domain Names? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Develop a browser plugin that when entering a domain it will check the history of ownership for that domain. If the domain is under dispute, give the user the option to choose with which owner they wish to view, the current or previous. You control the database of what owners are fighting over what and technically it sounds as simple as modifying the hosts file.

    The trick is to get it popular enough. The goal here is not to propigate this function on your own but get microsoft excited enough to steal the whole concept and wrap it in their latest browser. Now that tabbed browsing is finally being included who knows what comes next?

  5. Gun control. on RIAA Says P2P Encourages Illegal Downloads · · Score: 1

    Comparing the warcraft patch downloader to edonkey is like comparing a hunting riffle to an assault weapon. Trying to say they are one and the same is not helping anybody. If you defend your edonkey with the shield of patch downloaders then you should lose your patch downloaders.

  6. I didn't belive it. on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    I felt like a fool when I first saw it I stopped eating and almost laughed. But then, 1up spoofing this time of year? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

    No seriously, I was sure it was a joke.

  7. What is this sparkle crap? on Flash, Meet Sparkle · · Score: 1

    Isn't this known as WPF now? I was just on channel 9 earlier today and they bleeped out "sparkle" like it was a swear word.

  8. Re:Dawn of War on Extending Games With Lua · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pure genious, the download page has background music. The only page that has links to pop up videos... with sound... so you can hear the background music, and the video.. at the same time. Too smart for this world is what that is. Oh and the video just ended with the progress bar at %30. Is this game really playable? Looks nice, but what i've seen so far the only war is in the web development team.

  9. Re:Hmm on Hilton Hacker Gets 11 Months · · Score: 1

    The real hackers are out there sharing their exploits. Writing "howto's" so they can get their name out and share their knowlege, with any halfwit.with.a.computer.

  10. photoshop is nice. on A Simple Tool for Tracking Switch Ports? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe you should try fireworks, the vector drawing in that seems like it should be easier then what you are using. But if you really want it done right get a camera and use windows movie maker where you can narriate the function of each switch.

  11. Re:Only 100 exceptions? on Free Web-Based Exception Reporting · · Score: 1

    So the service can have 99% of their resources boggged down by .1% of their clients who think they need 50,000 exceptions to find out whats going wrong?

    Thats good to know. But i'm actually interested in how old the kid is and what games you like to play. Also whats your favorite breed of dog?

  15. how... who... what? on First UMD Movie/Game Combo · · Score: 1

    Whats the point to this? Take a bomb movie and try something risky with it? I guess they just dont expect anything to happen but i'd be pissed if I was the guy who said "lets make a movie/video game combo!" and hear that the package was "stealth" jeez.

  16. What is the point of this article? on Making Ice Without Electricity · · Score: 1

    Are we to really discuss how silly his idea is?

    Are we to talk about how any science project makes it in to the standard news media if their lies are convincing enough?

    Is it an observation that the next generation of genius is an excellent scam artist?

    What? vortex heat pump for underdeveloped countries? what is this tripe...

  18. Re:Spanish on FFVII Advent Children Leaked · · Score: 1

    Lets think about the delicate differences of well and good. When you ask a mexican how they are doing, they will often say "bien". Damnit, we usually respond "good" aparently they are responding "well" so whats up? Are the mexicans good? or mearly well?

    I dont know why you said well over good. What confusion to cause, to say that bein means good as opposed to well (wich in this topic has already been established as a positive afformatio)" is to add more confusion. Now when Lassi takes a trip south of the border, she will come barkup up about some crap of how good timmy is doing, when really he's slowing suffocating from his crushed chest after falling in the well that you so much favor to call: Bien.

    I hope your happy you sick freak.

  19. Re:What's wrong? on The Rise Of Limited Edition Games · · Score: 1

    The sale price of a video game has no relation to its production cost.

  20. Re:Expansions vs. patch content on WoW Expansion At BlizzCon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Soo easy to forget the honor system and battlegrounds were all a part of playing catchup.

    These new features were in the game manual. Printed. As a feature that was expected to be available when it was released.

    From what they have taken in they have also taken out. Civilian dishonor takes the whole city raid elements out of the game.

  21. Re:Transaction Costs on PayPal to Offer Micropayments · · Score: 1

    How long do you think the sites will leave their money sitting on PayPal, though?


    The same amount of time as they did when they were selling $30 items on ebay.

    Actually less so, I bet there will be more $8 accounts out there then before. Which is handy, if they never come back to get it.

  22. your 24 years old now... on Are Games Getting Easier? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you really feeling that excitment from bowser? Or just your 12 year old self from the past.

  23. Re:Development plans on Blizzard's Warcraft Booty · · Score: 1

    If they could create another development team that could take a manageable portion of the wow game, and recreate another genre game it would make sense for the blizzard style of small teams working to create big projects.

    If players could play both games for a heavy discount they could keep the game from cannibalizing itself.

    If they could just fix the PVP system so people could actually find a battleground easier then guildwars. Maybe they wouldn't find themselves developing an industry with a hunger they can't fullfill and watching them flock to inferior games that deliver what was expected. Mr ultima said this a while ago, and I see it more and more.

  24. Re:Wow PvP? Guild Wars PvP? on World of Warcraft Continues To Grow · · Score: 1

    Guild wars servers are broken up into districts that take 45 seconds to switch. Warcraft servers are broken in general and once you pick a server you are stuck with it.

    Thus I pay $15 a month for the ability to play with a fraction of the playerbase available do to poor planning. VS guildwars one time fee and unlimited play, that you can actually play. But, its just not as fun.

  25. Re:Rushed? on WinFS Beta 1 Released Early · · Score: 1

    How is it ahead of schedule?

    WinFS was going to be released with longhorn. So you push something back, push it back again, then release a beta, and your suddenly ahead of schedule?

    And at the same time I think your right. They rushed it out the door and its going to be absolutely terrible.
