  1. Re:3g? on DoCoMo to Use Linux on Phones · · Score: 0

    I think it means 'generation', and really only indicates that the network spped got faster/bettter than the last one. I think.

  2. Re:Busting Brad on China to Have Over 100 Eyes in the Sky · · Score: -1, Troll

    Wow, the trolls are trying pretty hard today!

    Well done everyone for getting the joke there...

  4. Re:hmm on Microsoft's Upcoming Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1
    The only thing I wish it could do (aha! One of the limitations) is open the folder that that email is in (or at least, tell me which folder it is). I can forward the email without knowing that, but I can't include a copy of the email in another email (as an attachment, that is) without knowing the folder it's in so I can drag-and-drop it.

    Can't you right click->copy url/location? I've not got it here to test, but iirc the result's page is just links to the files and the windows shell handles opening them. I could be wrong though.

  5. Re:Dollars and cents on Interview with EA Attorney · · Score: 1

    How can you guarnatee that profits will shrink?
    If they pay fairly, but work the devs fairly, they'll pay 40 people for 40-50 hrs of work a week, instead of 40 people the same for 80-100 hrs a week, but you can guarantee that the dev's will work better, get more done and in general be happier. more hours != more work. Bad press would really be the only source of profit loss.

  6. Re:This stuff is cool but... on Wi-Fi Toys · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Tesla had a flourecent light bulb with nothing attached to it that he could just carry around his lab because he had a mini electricity broadcaster rigged up

    If you've got a spare flourescent tube light or similar you can do this yourself too. Ideally, make sure it's dark, then take your light, and a friend with one, and go stand under one of the mega-pylons/electricty wires with 5 bajillion* volts running through it. As if by magic the light will light up; now you and your friend can have lightsaber battles without pesky wires!
    Although if you *actually* hit each other hard you wont get a clean cut. You're more likely to actually smash the bulb and cut each other with the shards of glass.

    But hey, no pain no gain, right?

    saifu = wallet, keitai = mobile phone, So it means, "wallet-phone"

    Looks that way, maybe troll and funny are synonomous nowadays?

    You'll get your copy of Go, if you wait a couple of months I'm pretty sure you'll have at least 6 versions to choose from.

    The DS is coming fom Japan!
    If it has nothing else you can guarantee it will have: Go, Mahjonng, a really long RPG about avenging your father's death, and some sort of anime strip poker game or possibly anime strip mahjongg.

  11. Whats with Squenix? on FFXI / ISP Incompatibility Shuts Users Out · · Score: 0
    Why do all the fanboys insist on calling Square-Enix 'Squenix'?

    Did I miss when they changed their name after the merger? I had a quick scout on google but couldn't see anything official to that note.

    I only really want to know because 'Squenix' sounds bloody stupid if you ask me.

  12. Re:hmm on Sony to PSP Coders: Battery Life Your Problem · · Score: 0
    On the other hand, Sony is well known for pushing original titles on the PS2.
    /sarcasm

    I doubt they'll change their tune for what is essentially a slightly less powerful, scaled down portable PS2.
    Although it'b be nice if they at least allow developers the freedom of choice to make things like 2D games should they wish.
    (afaik Sony* doesn't allow (official games) to be in 2D anymore, no matter how good the gameplay)

    *Sony of America(again afaik)

  13. Re:Nope on Camera that Sees through Smoke and Fog Underway · · Score: 0
    That's a form of exposure, erm 'hacking' i suppose (don't know what it's called really).

    This uses a different method based on the phase of light, there's enough posts already explaining it better than I could, so i won't bother:)

  14. Re:A few quotes from the article - on MPAA Sends Linux Australia Dubious Takedown Notice · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Offtopic - what movies were named "Twisted" or "Grind"? Anybody? I believe the answer is in the question there:)

  15. Re:Huh? on Ico Sequel Revealed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    most of those screenshots are admittedly not very good. look for ico screenshots. its either the same or a similar engine, much better shots that way. Didn't look like there were many weapons. Lame character model. Every game needs lots of weapons? Believable character model.

    Nor does it sound like someones copied and pasted the entire 'geek' section of the advertising blurb and posted it to be news.

    If you're a guy and you're hugging your other male friends, you're either gay or a sad example of masculinity.

    Do you go outside? In the real world?
    guys hug each other all the time, maybe not as often as girls hug girls, but thats not the point.
    Have you ever watched a team sport, you know what happens when one team scores a point?

    Uh-Oh! all those men are huging! quick do something! they're having a gay orgy, aaaaaaarh!!

    Although i'm from the uk, where we play femine games like football(soccer) and rugby, so maybe the rest of the world is different.
