  1. IntelliJ IDEA!!! on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 1

    This is best refactoring IDE out there. Nuf said.

    And I must concure, VS is about as functional as textpad, dono what the fuss is about, no clue for the clueless.

    Ohh yeah, try IDEA!

    Still not convinced?

  2. Never to much main for the n00bs :) on AOL Builds New IE-Based Browser · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They thought that their ciustomers wern't in enought pain all ready?

    I smell a conspiracy, maybe its a favor getting returned for the AOL link on every desktop :P

  3. Bushshit in deede! on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    But you know what, the elections will probably be bushshit too! :)

    Spread the word!

  4. Ohh the irony on Ozone Hole Getting Smaller · · Score: 1

    The irony is of course that the US kept modifying the Kyoto Protocol, and once it was nicely messed up decided that it was not agreable. The reality is that it will effect the powers that be's investment portfolios.

    ohhh wait do I hear...

  6. Upgrade Guide on AMD 2500+ Socket A CPUs Compared · · Score: 3, Informative

    Its worth it for gaming modern games, but its not gona get you typing word any faster...

    I got my 2500+ over 6 months ago, OC'd it to the speed of a 3200+ and never looked back. If your getting a new system, go for 1Gb ram, makes a diff.

    Generaly when upgrading:

    Gaming PC
    * Graphics card first, then CPU+Ram, then monitor ;)

    Word/Browser PC
    * If its >1Ghz don't bother ;), for speed up try linux, or if your not that wild try win2k for a preformance boost ;P

    Server
    * If you do hard number crunching or heavly loading stuff, then try 64bit, but only if there is support for your app, as for gaming; its gona happen, just not yet, you won't get your bang for buck, but you will win any 'my d*cks bigger than yours' :)

  8. It's not a leaching network! on Kazaa Loses P2P Crown To Edonkey · · Score: 5, Interesting

    That would be because it's not a leaching network. You get back what you put in, if you want to leech your not welcome here.

    The clients have been designed for fairness and _sharing_ rather than grab as much as you can and then go offline.

    DC on the other hand is this mentality, you can keep your leaching corrupt network.

    And people ask me why I still use win2k!

    I knew there was something to mu hunch, I wonder if XP will be as stable when it reaches SP4?

    On another note, its obvous that if you fill a windowz box with crap its more likly to crap out than if you did a pure MS install with only basics, its not rocket science people!

  14. Please RTFA people! on University Bans Wireless Access Points · · Score: 1

    Here are the facts as far as I can asitane:

    * The AP's and the upstream link are the properly of the residents.
    * The AP does not connect to the university network.
    * The AP does not violate the ISP's contact.
    * The apartment residents are legal tenants.

    From the tenancy point of view, the FCC has ruled that landlords can not restrict the use of AP's by the tenant as long as it complies with the law. This applies even if the university is the landlord.

    The university can only restrict the use of AP's if the AP is illegally on the university properly (note that if the land is rented the university has no say, even if it's stated in the tenancy contact as the FCC has ruled this void) or the AP is connected to the university network (this would imply the first case).

    The only argument that the university has is that the tenants AP's are causing intentional jamming to the existing network. This would be a very thin argument as both the Universities as well as the tenants AP's work as intended. There is no intentional attempt to jam the universities AP's as a service is provided, it's just not the universities one.

    Basically the University is attempting to ban the tenants AP's because its users are switching to the tenants AP's when they get a stronger signal from them. Looking at it from a legal point of view the tenants could cite unauthorized use of their AP if they had taken steps to prevent this use. Technically this could be resolved by placing AP's on the outside of the building (if the university is the landlord) or placing AP's a close as legally possible to the building.

    Note that if the university attempts to enforce this is its regulations, this would be a case of indirection and again the FCC ruling would supersede it as the regulations are a contact between the students and the university.

  17. Very well writen on Labyrinthine 'EVE Online' Scam Recounted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wow, very well writen, this beats the scrips of all the movies released this year hands down :).

    I feel sorry for HardHead, if I had been Nightfreeze I would have given him all the isk's rather than give them to any old n00b, but then again I probably could not have gone through with it either.

    Ultimatly Nightfreeze encountered the biggest problem with RPG's, once you beat the system there is nothing left for you. You feel like a hollow shell, don't want to play it any more cause its pointless, you beat it but you have nothing else. It's a very deep low after the high of just having 0wned the system.

  18. Samari Sword & Napam :) on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    A freind of mine had a hell of a day getting a motherboard working again and eventually gave up and just got a new one, as for the fate of the dead mb? It was time to get revenge for the hours of frustration, well out came the trusted samari sword and it was time for some Kung-Fo stylez. Needless to say the result was some very exhausted nerds and a not so damaged mb. This was a bad ass sucker. So some home made napam was called for, needless to say the capacitors popped quite nicely.

    Burn mutherfucker, Burn! :)

    Sounds like they are looking to see who is willing to stick around and be happy to get screwed over and let the rest quit which is great for the bottom line. Basically it's a cheap ass way of making everyone take a pay cut.

    You have two options, stick to your guns and resignat yourself to going nowhere or start looking elsewhere. Looks like its time to dust off your CV and start looking for better opportunities than this one.

  21. Sounds like a different situation though on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 1

    His possition sounds different to yours, the company sounds like its going downhill and is more likely to fire your ass than give you a promotion. If you have been with a company for a long time and are one of its 'founding' members you will always be valued. This does not sound the case for him.

    My personal attitide is that unless I have a stake in the company, I'm not gona put in the extra effort, I've seen too many people get screewed over that way.

    Fast games do experience a need for resources, especially when it to the modern age, tanks vs calvalry, umm...

    But good point on the needing a continous design.

    One thing I always felt was lacking was the ability to 'suck up' to the other civs. ie. give em stuff and they will be more freindly and go into a military aliance more easily with u. It seemed like the only was for this was not to piss them off in the first instance.

    Civ3 had good diplomatic concepts, now they just need to fleshed out.

    As for polution, no one wants to play like George Bush, and if you do thats what Govoners and Fast Building option is for, with that set you can just go to war for the entier game.
