  1. Re:Hard to be at the top on World of Warcraft Suffers More Downtime · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what the launch was like for Final Fantasy XI (being in Japan and all) but I agree. Being the best is rough. We have SCHEDULED downtimes and very few other outages. Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

  2. Re:As long as you are at it... on Gran Turismo 4 JP Launch · · Score: 1

    Whueqre the hqell are my siqlent q's?

  3. IT'S FUNNY. LAUGH. on HardOCP Declares Win vs. Infinium Labs · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    potsmokin mods...

  4. Re:Best? on First ZSNES Release In ~2.5 Years · · Score: 1

    Their download page also seems to feature dead links and pop up ads. Nice job, SNES9X team!

  5. Re:Communicator on 'Metal Gear' Symbian OS Trojan Disables Anti-Virus · · Score: 1

    How is that viable? If you know you have a worm it's better to disable the network connection on your PC. Why disturb other devices on your network because of one infected device?

    Turning off bluetooth is a good idea if you know you're not gonna use it. Mod grandparent up.

  6. Re:SP only? on Nintendo to Counter PSP Media Features · · Score: 1

    I'm kinda glad that games cant detect that, actually. If they could, my Afterburner would screw up the colors.

  7. TFA on Nintendo to Counter PSP Media Features · · Score: 1

    Play-yan will run on the GBA SP, but it won't be compliant with the standard GBA.

    It's compliant with the DS and the SP. It's not compliant with the regular GBA.

  8. SP only? on Nintendo to Counter PSP Media Features · · Score: 1

    Any GBA junkies out there have any idea why this would only work on the SP? What's the difference in hardware between it and the regular GBA?

  9. Re:OpenSource Voice recognition projects? on Are You Talking to Your PC Yet? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sphinx is a great project. I definitely recommend it.

  10. Re:People really DDR at home? on Beatbox Studio Announced for PSP/PS2 · · Score: 1
    Playing DDR at home has so many advantages!
    • No annoying people at arcades and no lines
    • More song choices (especially with Stepmania and other simulators)
    • Broken pads are your responsibility, not some arcade manager who's too worried about his bottom line
    • No more quarters!
    The list goes on. If you love DDR, play it at home!
  11. So, by that logic... on SimCity Trains Bad Urban Planners · · Score: 5, Funny

    Halo doesn't properly instruct future supersoldiers
    Half-Life shows an unrealistic picture of the profession of a physics Ph.D.
    Battlefield 1942 misrepresents the look and feel of Wake Island

    I could go on.

  12. The game of Slashdot on Does Anyone Still Play-by-Mail? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Well, I've bascially been playing slashdot that way for years now. I hear the last boss is a pisser.

  13. Re:Oh Canada! on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    All I know is that I want nothing -- nothing -- to do with any of the red states.

    Way to not be willfully ignorant.

  14. Re:Gee, is that 'all' we have to do? on Supreme Court Rejects RIAA Appeal · · Score: 1

    Decide whether or not you want to obey the law, then start discussing this issue. You make it sound like it's okay to keep stealing music as long as there isn't a legitimate alternative. It's not. Stop it.

  15. Re:Not to quote Van Halen songs, but on Supreme Court Rejects RIAA Appeal · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing you didn't quote a Van Halen song then. That was a cover.

  16. By the way, if you've never heard of Hibernate... on Hibernate in Action · · Score: 4, Informative

    I really wish the story submitter would have taken a moment and put a one or two sentence explanation of what Hibernate is. It's not exactly a descriptive name, which I'll concede is common in our industry.

    Hibernate is an API for Java that uses Java Beans (get() and set() methods for all properties) to create, read, update and delete rows from a database. It's really cool. It's sometimes called JDO (Java Data Objects) but it's a dangerous association because of the Sun Reference Implementation of JDO, which is its own specification. Hibernate is different.

  17. Re:Learn to write? on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 1

    I've learned to blame nobody for the silly versioning Sun does for Java. Java 2 is a pretty strange moniker for a language platform with version numbers in the 1.5 range, and then calling 1.5 JDK 5.0 is just darnright batty.

    But hey, we get autoboxing! See ya later longValue()!

  18. Re:APIs on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 4, Informative

    XML Parser

    You mean like JAXP and JAXB?

  19. Learn to write? on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've never seen so many grammatical errors. You win.

  20. Isn't it obvious? on Hping3 vs. Nmap · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hping3 vs. Nmap, the names say it all. I think the victor is quite clear.

  21. Re:JibJab is Boring and Overrated on Jib-Jab Releases New Bush and Kerry Parody · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It doesn't offend me.
    It doesn't make me laugh.
    It just wasted some of my time.


    Your post made me feel the same way.

  22. Ginormous on There's a Fungus Among Us · · Score: 2, Funny

    35 football pitches

    Jeez, thats huge. I wonder how many hogs heads that is...

  23. Technology is improving every day on World Record: Four-Centimeter-Long Carbon Nanotube · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hydrocoptic marselvanes here we come! What's next, prefamulated amulite?

  24. Re:This is a good thing for IT managers on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    So from my mind, this is a Good Thing, and I'd like to see it on my OS X/Linux machines as well.

    # rmmod usbcore
    # rm usbcore.o

    That's the basic idea, right? For Linux at least.

  25. Re:Yes... on Should Star Trek Die? · · Score: 1

    Please turn in your account for misquoting Star Trek.

    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
