    Jesus, /., you're not even pretending anymore. Suck a little harder, I don't think you've quite earned your paycheck for this particular slashvertisement.

    The 5xx, or at least the 550 I'm still using, is pretty bad in that regard, too. It's a beast at its job, for sure, but I could use it to keep my coffee warm, if it could withstand the weight...

  5. Re:"It's 2012" on Thousands of Muslims Protest 'Age of Mockery' At Google's London Headquarters · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The Christian West has had over 500 years of development since then and Islam has a lot of catching up to do

    Looks to me like they're catching up just fine. They've done an admirable job of mimicking the "Hurting our widdle feelings is tewowwism" whine.

    Indeed, the only thing sold in the US in metric sizes is soft drinks (nuts and bolts not withstanding)!

    Actually, even in the "You'll pry our imperial measurements from our cold, dead hands" States of America, soda is, in fact, sold in 1, 2, and (though I haven't seen them in a few years) 3 liter bottles.

    I don't know the exact wording of the law, but in business law in college I was taught that you can't discriminate against people for engaging in legal practices that do not directly affect the job.

    When was this? They've been doing that for years now, and they've generally been upheld in court. You can discriminate against people for anything not explicitly protected these days.

  15. Re:Diablo 3 is fine. on Game Review: Torchlight 2 · · Score: 1

    Who cares? The game isn't, and was never intended to be, "balanced," and this idiotic flagging crap was done as an attempt to appease the anti-modding crybabies who've spammed the forums non-stop without actually impacting any of the other players (the "well-intentioned").

    That it's trivial to work around and, thus, useless is only one half of the "mistake" part: the other being that the aforementioned crybabies did not, of course, shut up, and are still demanding more and more "inches" on top of the unproductive miles they've already been given.

  17. Re:Fate on Game Review: Torchlight 2 · · Score: 2

    Not sure if trolling or just uninformed...

    Giving you the benefit of the doubt: The "need" for this game is that it's the game that Fate could have been, had WT not shat all over it.

    You see, "Fate's" designer, Travis Baldree, is one of the three people who formed Runic.

  18. Re:Potion of Respec on Game Review: Torchlight 2 · · Score: 1

    There's also a respec potion in TL2. Until the mod kit comes out, you still need to use the console to spawn it, true, but you can spawn it on a scratch character and put it in the stash.

  19. Re:Diablo 3 is fine. on Game Review: Torchlight 2 · · Score: 1

    Easier: Create a throwaway character and spawn the RESPECPOTION item. Put the item in the shared stash and delete the flagged throwaway. You get your respec, and no flag.

    The flag was, as someone else on the Runic forums put it, a "well-intentioned mistake."

  20. Re:Buyer Beware on Game Review: Torchlight 2 · · Score: 1

    Oh look. Another whiny D2JSP closed-server troll getting his little bot-farming panties in a twist that TL2 wasn't designed for them to be able to spam their little "black market" crap.

    At least they're hitting /. now, instead of focus-fire on the Runic forums...

  21. Re:Linux support on Game Review: Torchlight 2 · · Score: 1

    I also suspect prior to the Humble Bundle very few copies of the Linux version were sold.

    I'm pretty sure that the HB marked the debut of the Linux version of Torchlight, in fact.

  22. Re:The future of operating systems on Shuttleworth: Trust Us, We're Trying to Make Shopping Better · · Score: 1

    There is a pretty good rationale for resolvconf on the developer website, if you actually really care about the why.

    In fact, I DO care about the why. But, since my posts are discussing the context of *servers*, the rationale is not, as you put it "pretty good." It's centered entirely around "mobile computing," which makes putting the change into the server versions foolish. That was my original point.

    I'm only sad to hear that it's not an Ubuntu thing, so switching to debian on the servers isn't a fix.

    Is the family understanding based on the highest, lowest, average or median understanding of individuals?

    It's a complicated function involving a quantitative difference between the most and least technically savvy members of the family, cell phone and gasoline prices, an the integral of the number of times family members can be conned into coming over to look at the computer under the pretense of "a family dinner." :)
