  1. Re:Chart link is an excel document on The RIAA Hit List - A Pattern Emerges? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that now that I've rebooted into linux, I can't get the file.

  2. Re:Cost two million jobs... on Telemarketers Sue Over "Do Not Call" List · · Score: 1
    The government is not killing off anything. They are offering a service. Nobody is forcing people to add their names to the list.

    If many people are not bothered by telemarketers, they won't sign up for this service and the telemarketers will live happily ever after.

    Not even the owner of the computer. If I have a home network and the account is in my name, it seems I'm responsable. I guess a lot of home users should learn to be network admins really quick.

    I don't know, game development, maybe?

    You wouldn't notice by some of the games released recently, but I'm sure a little bit of testing going on also.

    Talk to one of the Alicebots for a few minutes, You won't worry about intelligent machines taking over any time soon.

  9. Re:I hope this doesn't become a "fad" on Meditation in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Of course it will just be a passing fad. Once the management figures out that their people can't be working and doing yoga at the same time, it's all over. If this doesn't happen, they will lose interest in a few weeks and everything will go back to normal.

  15. Re:They just now figured this out? on Record Labels Looking for a Cut of Tour Revenues · · Score: 1
    Yes, they need to change there business model. The problem seems to be that they have one successful band from an area, then they sign every other band in the area and hope one floats to the top. This is where all the money is going.

    Good bands will succeed with a little radio airplay, real good bands don't even need that.

    If it was optional, it wouldn't be a problem.

    I want my $0.36 an hour. I worked for it, I shouldn't be forced to give it to some scumbag who doesn't want to work, or feels he is too good for the jobs that are available to him.

    Microsoft, on the other hand, got slammed because they wouldn't let other companies who were legally allowed to sell the hardware use another OS or sell it without an OS. -That's- illegal.

    These companies wanted to play ball with Microsoft. Nobody forced them to do so.

  20. Re:Since when is gaming a skill? on Profile of a Hard-Core Gamer · · Score: 1
    How much time have you spent over the years practicing, to be able to frag like the best of them? If you spent that much time playing basketball, would you be near the skill level of an NBA player?

    Does using the keyboard and mouse for non-gaming functions help with gaming? Since you are using a keyboard and mouse for most games, does playing a racing game help improve your performance in a shooter? If this is the case then some kids spend a lot of time practicing. I imagine that if someone practiced a sport for a few hours a day, longer on weekends, they would master that sport as well.

    I can't begin to calculate the amount of time I've wasted playing video games over the last twenty or so years. Way too much I imagine. Games should be a temporary distraction, not a way of life. If someone has mastered video games by twelve, they have probably neglected some other aspect of life that is more important.

  21. Re:Since when is gaming a skill? on Profile of a Hard-Core Gamer · · Score: 1

    Playing a video game is no more or less a skill than any sport. Any twelve year old should be able to throw a basketball into the hoop, be able to hit a baseball with a bat. If you don't consider video games a skill, you can't consider playing any games a skill, without being a hypocrite.

  22. Re:Did they... on BSA Creates Piracy Statistics · · Score: 1

    They probably wouldn't care. The car was not stolen from them. You stole it from someone who bought it from them. The car you bought was used, if it was just like the one you stole two years before. Try to get a real analogy next time.

    No, it's like watching a amateur football game and whining like a fucking baby because they're not as good as the pros. It has nothing to do with PC, it's about not being such an asshole that you have to point out someone's flaws just because they took the time to write a review and asked for nothing in return.

    And because you've been such an asshole, I'll point out that its is the plural of it. Perhaps you should have done your English homework last night.

  24. Re:Does that excuse bad writing on First Look at YellowTAB's Zeta · · Score: 1
    No, it doesn't. But you couldn't be bothered to read the name of the person you're criticising.

    She is not a professional writer, and English is not her native language.

    I was able to understand the points she was trying to make, and the information that was provided. Even if it was not up to your standards of writing, it was still informative.

    I am not a professional writer either, so if you have a problem with my writing skills, get over it, because I don't care.
