  1. Re:Trailer Story FAIL on First Trek Film Footage Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Didn't number 10 screw that rule up? I haven't bothered with seeing it.

  2. Re:Like to see this replicated on German Doctor Cures an HIV Patient With a Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 1

    Yeah, or at least give the screen a blank stare before running out of Wilson's office.

  3. Re:spore? on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 1

    In fallout's defense, SecuROM is only used for the disc check. There are no other limitations (e.g. # of installs). Also, it is awesome.

  4. Re:Washington, DC on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the making of DVD they talk about how in the 1950s, the fallout universe split from our own. Which they promptly invoke as a reason why things aren't exactly the same between the real world and their version. Going down into the Metro and seeing the vaulted ceilings and mezzanine levels was nice though.

  5. Re:Chrome for me? on Chrome Helping Other Browsers Out, Says Opera CEO · · Score: 1

    It makes you a novice C user. Yeah yeah , I'm picking nits.

    eh people are probably just showing up to work and their caffeine hasn't percolated through their blood stream yet.

    Not yet, I don't think the merger has completed, but yeah eventually they will be.

  8. Re:3 separate games? on Starcraft 2 To Be a Trilogy · · Score: 1

    $39.99? They'll probably charge the $59.99 that console games have gone to.

  10. Re:First post on Steve Wozniak Predicts Death of the IPod · · Score: 1

    That's true, but its only been within the last year and a half or so that cell phones have gotten decent at playing music. Hell, the first phone I bought with a 3.5mm jack was in February. That's why Apple made the iPhone. The iPod is going to hold out for a few more years, but eventually, we'll all have one convergent device. I know people have been predicting it for years, but we're just now (in the US at least) getting phones that do all the convergent stuff semi-well. Another few years and they'll do them well enough to outweigh carrying a second device.

  11. Re:Biomods on First Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    I never played DX2, but there's a line in the first one that the technology is just now hitting the market and is therefore pretty rare. It could be that you just didn't find this stuff.

  12. Re:How does US registration work? on Voters In Many States Must Register By October 6 · · Score: 1

    Yes, in many states one must make an affirmative action prior to the election to be allowed to vote. This is usually a one time process (at least it is in Indiana, one of the states listed in the summary) and only needs repeated if one changes addresses. Its not difficult to get registered, it just takes enough knowledge to go and do so before the deadline. I believe there's only one state that does not require registration, and some states allow for provisional voting and registration on the same day as the election.

    you sir, win the internet.

  14. Re:Does that mean it can run on BIOdiesel? on Ford's 65MPG Due In November, But Not In the US · · Score: 1

    I didn't think the volt was supposed to have a diesel in it? If so, I want one even more.

  15. Re:But is it like WoW? on A WoW Player's Guide To Warhammer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you didn't like WoW's battlegrounds and/or Arena, probably not. The PvE side of the game is fun, but definitely not the focus. I'd argue that the PvE side of WAR is even more grindy than WoW's since it has a definite end. WAR is really the PvP lover's WoW in a lot of ways.

    That said, I think its a blast.

    Or there are multiple Big Mistakes

  17. Re:All too common tale on AT&T Slaps Family With a $19,370 Cell Phone Bill · · Score: 1

    I'd imagine that there's a difference between phones and data cards, slick.

  18. Oh Noes! on AT&T Slaps Family With a $19,370 Cell Phone Bill · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You charged me exactly what it said in the contract I signed said you would! How dare you.

    I would think that in the interests of PR, AT&T might send you a text or something when you go international roaming and pass some threshold of use, just to warn you. But really, if you pay extra to call Canada long distance, don't you think your cell phone/data card would work the same way?

  19. Re:Tigerdirect - avoid on Which Vendors Do You Trust For PC Parts? · · Score: 1

    Newegg isn't always the cheapest, but god-damned if they don't just work. And that's worth paying for if you ask me.

  20. Re:The problem is... on Redesigned, Bulkier Honda Insight to Challenge Prius · · Score: 1

    Really, every time I think about getting a motorcycle, it fucking RAINS and I'll be god-damned if I'm going to ride around in that.

  21. Re:Computers are like TVs now. on Abit To Bow Out of Mainboard Market · · Score: 1

    Sony still makes their own screens. RCA is owned by the Chinese now. I'm pretty sure you're right about GE though.

  22. Re:Only games? on Amazon Rolls Out Release-Day Game Delivery · · Score: 1

    I know they've done it with the Harry Potter books.

    To me, its not worth 6 bucks, you'd spend less than that in gas to pick something up at a store, probably.
