  1. Re:CS:S 2 on Valve Announces Counter-Strike: Global Offensive · · Score: 1

    When they added the bullshit shields and those changes at the time I got sick of it. Bring back 1.4 you bastards!

  2. Re:TELL ME WHERE BARNEY CALHOUN WENT. on Valve Announces Counter-Strike: Global Offensive · · Score: 1

    Ravenholm was about the only survival horror in HL2. HL1 was as much adventure/puzzle as survival horror though

  3. Re:Does anyone actually listen to him on Carmack On 'Infinite Detail,' Integrated GPUs, and Future Gaming Tech · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it is real person not some quite likely fictional historic figure. What exactly is your point?

  4. Re:Stay Put on Ask Slashdot: Am I Too Old To Learn New Programming Languages? · · Score: 2

    So one who is the child of two Scottish people, and is born 1 mile from the border is not a Scotsman?

    Face it the Modern Conservative in America wants to spend government money making Defense contractors and large industrial farms richer. he also wants to remove any tax burden from the wealthy while using taxes to transfer more wealth to them.

    33mhz and 128MB of ram is now embedded?
    Sounds like you don't actually have to be very careful at all these days.

  6. Re:Stay Put on Ask Slashdot: Am I Too Old To Learn New Programming Languages? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No True Scotsman.

    Try not using an intentional logical fallacy.

    If you can't find a job you should fix number 2.

    You seem to be pricing yourself out of the market.

  8. Re:Permission-- for a secret process? WTF? on US Energy Panel Cautiously Endorses Fracking · · Score: 2

    Seems like I just found a cheap way to get rid of nuclear waste. I will just make it part of my new fracking formula.

  9. Re:Remaining anonymous obviously, but... on Ask Slashdot: Info On Upcoming Handhelds? · · Score: 1

    Then the tablet is not totally transparent. Then it has an opaque border.

  10. Re:Remaining anonymous obviously, but... on Ask Slashdot: Info On Upcoming Handhelds? · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Pretty much any phone with wifi can act as a wifi access point. A transparent tablet is just so much vaporware. First you need transparent wires, batteries and antennas.

  11. Re:Hmmm on New Serial ATA Standards Target SSDs, Tablets · · Score: 1

    When was the last time you killed an SSD that way?
    My laptop has one, and so far over the last 3 years I have seen no such issue. It even had a swap partition for quite a while.

  12. Re:Hmmm on New Serial ATA Standards Target SSDs, Tablets · · Score: 1

    I would like mine to turn on instantly and not totally stall out when I run out of ram or have to hit the disk for some reason.

    Get a cheap SSD and boot from that. I used to leave my desktop on all the time, now it boots faster than it used to recover from sleep/standby.

  13. Re:Come again? on New Serial ATA Standards Target SSDs, Tablets · · Score: 1

    Yes some drives are that good. Even the $100 SSD I bought can soak the SATA 3.0Gbps lane I have it connected too.

    For more storage I use spinning disks in another machine, but I like my desktop to be quiet and fast.

  14. Re:Browsers aren't magic on Browser Wars Redux: This Time It's the Apps · · Score: 1

    Not for any app more complicated than "Hello World". Java is write once debug everywhere.

    Change the User id. Not sure how easy that is to do on an iPhone but I do it on my Droid running CM7 all the time for these broken websites.

    Yeah, it improved the experience using it in Wine/Crossover too.

    I don't make software for users. I don't ever see users.
    I don't get paid by users.

    This is why I can have that opinion.

    How do you get overseas?
    I normally do it by plane. Meaning I might want to buy a game just before the return leg.

  19. Re:The suit is one thing... on Iron Man-like Exoskeleton Nears Production · · Score: 1

    That would need you need lots of fuel. It would also be loud, have a dangerous fuel and be totally useless in many possible applications.

    The numbers seem a bit off, so I am asking. Looks like you left off some wars or something.

    I have lots of fiction books, are those not imaginary?

    This is not trolling it is a statement of fact. No different than saying unicorns are not something you should kill people over.

    Your kind being ACs are generally not who I waste my time on.

    No, they are not. Want to see prohibitively expensive, go check what a US university education costs. Mine was damn near 6 figures.

  24. Re:It'll never make it through FDA trials on Cancer Cured By HIV · · Score: 1

    Like hunger the problems of eradicating Polio are largely political. When you have people preventing UNICEF from delivering food to starving kids what makes anyone think they would allow these kids to get vaccinations?

  25. Re:Proof of God on Cancer Cured By HIV · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No it shows that your kind would kill their own children for their imaginary friend.
