  1. Re:Uhhh ... parental security features? on Christian Group Prepares To Mark Wii as 'Porn Portal' · · Score: 1

    The best preventive feature is the download time. It took me over 2 hours to grab the'Trial version' of opera. No kid has that patience. I kid i kid. Though i'm not sure why marketplace downloads are so slow. Or why they call opera, a trial version when there is no expire date. Or why wariorware is so damn addicting.

  2. Re:Clarification on Golfer Sues Over Vandalized Wikipedia Entry · · Score: 1

    So he sues John Does since he doesn't know who the person is. Whats the point of bringing civil litigation against an unknown person? Can you actually go to court and win a case against an unknown person?

  3. Re:Yes. on The Wii - Is the Magic Gone? · · Score: 1

    Did you read in my post where i said gamecube controllers don't work well. Gamecube doesn't have six button on the right hand side.

    Who have they sued for patent infringement?

  5. Re:Yes. on The Wii - Is the Magic Gone? · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if wiisports or wiiplay supported online play. Nintendo also needs to make a N64 style controller for their back catalog, gamecube controllers really don't work well. I gave up on Mario64 after 10 minutes.

  6. Re:An even bigger hole... on "Very Severe Hole" In Vista UAC Design · · Score: -1, Troll

    Upgrade your software. Old software does stupid stuff which causes prompts, thats not vistas fault.

  7. Re:My accounts are cancelled on EVE Devs Admit To Misconduct · · Score: 1

    Can i have your stuff?

  8. Re:It's not the 'out of game' issues, it's the dev on CCP Speaks on Allegations of Misconduct in Eve · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Where's the evidence that CCP employees were cheating? I've seen one case where a GM had spawned rattlesnake(epic battleship) with 20 billion isk($2000 if you bought the isk with real money) of modules, he was caught and fired.

    Real tragedy is the poor the dev that remained anonymous until some jackass hacked an alliance forum and ran all the IPs on the posts through an arin whois lookup. Requirement for devs who play eve is that if their identity is compromised, they lose the account. The hacker/jackass found couple posts that had an Ip originating from CCP HQ and petitioned player. The dev lost a character that he had worked on for 3 years.

  9. Tivo isn't hacker friendly on TiVo Selling Data on Users' Watching Habits · · Score: 1

    Using hardware protection(Soldered prom) so you can't patch the tivoapp application. Nothing like a little hardware drm to say hacker friendly.

    I can cancel your order and issue you a refund

    They offered to refund people's money. Is that not an acceptable response for a product that doesn't work?

  11. Re:You're missing the whole story... on Should MMOG 'Play' Be Confined? · · Score: 1
    Where in the post stuff posted on the hacker's forum did it say that the dev rigged the t2 lottery. Oh noes he has 8 t2 blueprints. 6 of them are ammo which are 1 billion to 4 billion. For people who don't play eve, a 6 months old mining alt can mine 1 billion isk in a weekend. There's one guy who's calls his himself the king of tech 2 bpos, he has 10+ ship bpos, 20+ module bpos. I guess he hacks.

    Btw, all the devs play eve. I wonder how many are in LV, D2 or ISS. There were a couple in ascn. EveTv they talked about it, its no secret that the devs play eve.

  13. Re:Cingular needs all the help it can get... on Verizon Rejected iPhone Deal · · Score: 1

    If you think verizon sucks, go try out cingular/att. Verizon has the best coverage of any carrier and better customer support than Att(good luck talking to a real person).

  14. Re:A Way to get the Real ID Act to Fail on Maine Rejects Federally Mandated ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Congress won't repealit because it will be used against the congressmen in upcoming elections. They portrayed as weak on terror. Only thing we can hope for is that is that congress doesn't fund the program which kills it. Or even better, its goes to court and found unconstitutional.

  15. Re:The trampling of the constitution.... on US Attorney General Questions Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    Of course the constitution is a living document. Back when it was written, there weren't nuclear weapons and assault weapons. Just flintlock breach loading musckets. If it wasn't living document, i should have every right to own a nuclear weapons and a m60 machine gun.

  16. Re:Replace tomahawk? on Navy Gets 8-Megajoule Rail Gun Working · · Score: 1

    Arcing a 5" projectile, you going to lose most of the kinetic energy. I can't see how arcing a 5" projectile can compare to 1000lb warhead on a tomahawk missile.

  17. Replace tomahawk? on Navy Gets 8-Megajoule Rail Gun Working · · Score: -1, Redundant

    So how would a railgun replace a cruise missile? A cruise missile can go hundreds of miles, a railgun is line of fire/sight. It fires a small projectile so can't exactly arc it to the destination.

    Cisco would love that. Its free money. Someone asks for iphone in bestbuy and are shown an apple phone, thats free money for cisco. Just like if you ask for a coke and are given a pepsi, coke makes money off resteraunts who make that mistake.

  22. Re:Bad assumptions on sony's part on Gates Pegs Nintendo, Not Sony, as Toughest Competition · · Score: 1
    Oh how quickly people forget. Remember the 360 launch? It sucked. Hard.

    By sucking hard, you mean it was sold out and not on stores shelves till early summer/late spring 06. I can go down to the bestbuy and buy a ps3 right now. I tried to buy wii, and they told me good luck even though they get a shipment in every week. Scalpers camp the retailers and ebay the wiis for double the price. You can get a ps3 at cost on ebay.

  23. Re:Imagine if this malnfunctioned on the freeway on Toyota Creating In-Vehicle Alcohol Detection System · · Score: 1

    That stat is deceptive, its fatalites where alcohol was involved. It includes accidents were driver wasn't legally intoxicated(under 0.08) and fatalities were the drunk driver killed themselves. I don't condone drunk driving and think 1 death is too many when it comes to drunk driving, i just like honesty in statistics.

  24. Re:Three things to consider (from WSJ) on Clearing Up Holiday Sales Rumours · · Score: 1
    And what good games does Wii have? Zelda? Anything else? I do agree that wii probably sold the most controllers. But for games, there's only one decent game.

    I am personally looking forward to a tennis game that actually cares how you hold the remote, since the technology is there.

    I'm interested in a tennis game that when controller slips out of my hand, the player mimics a mcenroe type outburst by smashing his racket into the ground.
