  1. Re:Radical Spelling on Memorizing Language / Spelling Techniques? · · Score: 1

    Cant agree more as a native speaker. Understanding radical is a great way to learn. Not only radicals give you a hint as to the meaning behind the word, it sometimes give you hints as the the pronunciation.

  2. Re:IPV4 + RFC1918 != IPV6, NAT / Proxy saved IPV4 on (Almost) All You Need To Know About IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Why not just hide my whole country behind a NAT? Who is going to maintain that NAT? The government? Is that really a good idea?
  3. Re:Weird, but genius on Everybody Votes on the Wii · · Score: 1

    I think that blue light is a stroke of genius. It looks cool and grabs your attention without being annoying. It also let everyone in the household knows that something is up, even if s/he is not a gamer.

  4. Re:Local Gamestore Figures on Wii Launches, Sells Out Peacefully · · Score: 1

    To me, the most interesting thing is that not only the larger amount of consoles are all sold out, Nintendo is making profit for each console sold as well.

  5. Re:Resolutions on Wii Confirmed at 480p · · Score: 1

    You post gave me a very interesting thought. Think about the new Wii controller and how it will be used - you will be standing at a fair distance from the TV, so the resolution is actually not as important. Just pure speculation btw :)

    My thought as well, especially that it is more expensive in Australia.

    What band is this? Maybe I have to buy a CD from them just to keep them around :)

    Or Nitendog. I have not seen my DS since I bought that game for my wife. So much about sharing...

  9. Re:Felt guilty not playing WoW on World Of Warcraft Crushing PC Game Industry? · · Score: 1

    That is why I would not sign up on a MMORG. My schedule is too unpredictable to commit a fix number of hours to play - I rather meet up with family and friends. I also don't like the model of how you are to pay for the media and then monthly fee. Now if they have a pay-as-you-go system...

  13. Re:Australia is playing very good on Australia's Technological World Cup Advantage · · Score: 1

    I think Kewell is still not 100% fit, or least he does not trust himself to be. There was an instant he was released down the pitch. At his best, he could just out-ran the defenders. He was caught up and had to take a long shot. In the Japan game, he was creating space but not running into them.

  14. Re:Technology DID do it today... Nope on Australia's Technological World Cup Advantage · · Score: 1

    By your reasoning the US team should win since they rank higher than Italy. I am not saying USA is a bad team but FIFA ranking is a joke.

    I found the Americans a bit arrogant, especially the coach's comment how Australia is there to make up the numbers. Well, Australia has more points and a better goal difference.

  15. Re:Picking nits. on Australia's Technological World Cup Advantage · · Score: 1

    Not that I would put much faith into FIFA rankings, considering Mexico and USA are ranked 4th and 5th in the world, while Argentina ranks 9th and Italy is 13th.

  16. Re:12 days later... on The DS Lite U.S. Launch · · Score: 1

    I bought mine last week with the new Mario game. It was fun. I then bought Tetris and Nintendog: I have not been able to play it since - my wife would not give the DS back to me :(

  17. Re:Parent deserves a mod point. on Japanese Gamers' Post-E3 Reversal · · Score: 1

    I have to say I agree with you. The other perspective is Japaneses want something that they can play in small doses while they are on the train.

  18. I like the GameCube design on Revolution Horsepower Revealed · · Score: 1

    I have all 3 of the current generation (or is it last?) of consoles. The GameCube is definitely most fun to play with friends. Mario Kart, Mario Party and Smahs Bros. Hours of fun and anyone can join in because the games are easy to learn for non-gamers. I cannot see how improving the graphics in Mario Kart is going to increase the fun.

    The other thing is I really like the design of the GameCube itself - the distinctive purple colour and the multi-color controllers. And the handle for you to lug it around is a stroke of genius :)

    I agree to a certain degree. Think about the Three Gorges in China.

    Now I just have to push it to the other people in the company.

  21. Re:For all you 'Just organize the shelves' folks.. on Solving the Home Library Problem? · · Score: 1

    Excellent post. I collect manga/comic books but I also read JUMP or download the latest scans from the net. There is usually a 2 months difference between a comic is published in JUMP and the time it is published in the book form - more if you are looking for a translated version. It is quite common that I do not remember which volume I am up to when I am at the shops.
    I buy lots of DVD as well because I like to collect them and lend them to friends. However I am a cheap ass so I will wait to pick them up when they are on sale, so I can never be sure if I have bought a copy of a particualr title or not.

    I know I am being lazy :) but can you install and run both of them as Eclipse plugins? That way maybe you will screen out the false positives?

    Hey, this is the second time I hear about the FindBugs project today! Thanks, I will have to check out the Eclipse plugin.

    Exactly. And why are they sharing the same cache? Would it make more sense to have separate cache?

    RE: i would even like to see an fps without a health level indicator at all

    Check out Call of Duty 2. It does not have a health gauge. A fun game to play.

    I also like gauge that is part of the gun. It is close to where you are looking at anyway :)
