Back when Steam first came out, it was pretty obvious what a DRM job it was all in the name of the 'consumer'. I saw though your lies Valve, i saw how you were trying to fuck me over my previously purchased games and decided to never buy any of your products again. Well a few years down the line it looks like I did the right thing. All the fanboys where defending you then, shame on you, now your fucking them good, and they defend you again, shame on them.
I have no sympathy for the people who got screwed, its pretty obvious what Steam is, and you supported it...
ROFLMA... thank god someone with some sanity actually made a constructive comment on the issue:).
Seriously the entire issue has always smelt of ass.
The reason you are asked to turn of your cell phone is not because it might down the plane (statistically there should be crashes caused by this by now), its because the cellphone negatively impacts the network by rapid switching and denying use of frequencies over a large area.
If this really is such a large and potentially hazardous issue (which it isn't), why is the cabin not shielded?
They don't ban the electric razor? The most EM jamming device out of the lot?!
God dam it so annoys me when the ISP's bitch and moan about the customers actually using the bandwidth they have signed a contract, and paid for to use.
I have no sympathy for ISP that oversell their services and fail to invest profits in infrastructure.
Hear hear, AA is for pansies with too small penises^D^D^D^D^D^D monitors.
Honestly though, AA has always seemed pointless except for those games that max out the FPS no matter what the settings are (in which case a high texture pack seems to make much more of an impact anyway).
Why render at 1600x1200 and then display it at 640x480 when you can just display it at 1600x1200 (I know a rough analogy, but it still stands), its on of the features that should get bumped once all others are maxed (including resolution).
Cinemas recommend about 30 degrees FOV as ideal because past that people get disoriented and nauseated
Horse shit, guess you have never experienced the joy of a truly immersive home entertainment systems (50+ deg FOV), that 30 deg FOV is probably the minimum requirement or people get shitty cause the screen is to small.
And yes HDTV does look pathetic once you scale it up to 4m by 2m but then your brain forgets to notice and you really do start to enjoy it, and postprocessing tricks go a long way to help.
Honestly does IMAX make you want to puke? You realise they do 180 deg FOV? Take your FUD elsewhere.
Then again yeah, its some wanabe scripy kiddy flipping out cause he saw DoD in his logs, get a grip kid, the world is out to get you, just not in the way you think:P
You know some people have 192.168.0.254 as their gateway, theres no regulation saying it has to be the first ip, hell a university I worked for had an entier class B range set up that way (except for one f*cking department).
You perceived quite correctly. The US has quite successfully managed to cover itself with a lot of shit as of late. A pity really, but having a stupid puppet at the helm doesn't really help.
He he yeah, late one night I forgot to uncomment a throw in a catch section after doing some walk thought debugging, lets just say that 2 days spent cussing was enough to burn that lesson in for good:)
Everyone seems to miss the point of higher education qualifications.
* You go to school to learn the basics about life, social interaction, etc. * You go to university to learn how to learn. You learn how to ask the right questions, and how to get the answers.
The information and data acquired at university is mostly redundant on a non-academic life (how many conversations have I had about speculative cache-coherent locking synchronization primitives for large-scale cache-coherent multiprocessors? None), however it teaches one how to think, how to question, how to learn, skills difficult to teach directly.
This is the one significant difference I find with people who have attended university (does not imply completion) and those that have not.
As for people citing examples, there is always an exception to the rule and that fraction of a percentage of the population that you interact with has no bearing on the overall makeup.
Ha! Speak for yourself, the Windows ones are sheit. They are only marginally better than my memory which keeps forgetting no to by machines with intel graphics chip sets.

No, but you will have all of those niceties done to you on your departure and arrival in the land of the free.
Enjoy
They tell you not to drive while talking on the phone... ... common sense would tell you not to pilot while on the phone.
But I'm sure if they allowed phones on the planes, more people would be killed by air rage, than by plane crashes.

All I see is glare :P

I lost at "freeslots"... fuck you buddy, I want my time back since that was the only thing that was taken.
Shit I don't know what crappy USB enclosures you're using, but dam man, get something decent.
How the hell did that get past the spam filter, CmdrTaco?
We, as the slashdot collective request a full inquiry and subsequent marching of to the gallows, in par with the US due process.
"Macintosh Explorer" makes me want to poke eyes with sharp hot things.
As if there wasn't enought pain in the world, god it looks awful...
ROFLMAO!

Anybody else notice the date of this article? It even mentions a ruling to come out in March.
