  1. why is this different on Microsoft Kills Xbox One Phone-Home DRM · · Score: 1

  2. Re:An Understatement on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With New Free Time? · · Score: 2

    it is exactly how i feel, my every last moment is jammed packed, one second smashed up tightly against the next. Projects at work i have to put away for the projects i have to hit at home, and then the weekend its mostly just deciding in what environment im going to pound the shit out of my keyboard on the next project.

    Seriously i do not understand people who have technical training and abilities and not spasm out at the endless possibilities of things that need to be built immediately... i likely have less then a hundred years to live and im panicked at what i know will not get done.

    and then theres the family and relatives constantly coming over that need help with their laptop/website/wordpress...

    cant you all just leave me alone im busy

    amazing machines can be had in the 600-800 that give you hardware already outclassing xbox dumb. If your going to make the investment at all why half ass it? For that much more you open the world up, you can have any major title plus all the random shit people have put online, free mmos, games in beta, sales on steam, and you dodge out of the way of some crazy things that happen on consoles that nobody can do anything about (dont skyrim saves on ps3 crash out at some point?). Patches for games with problems can be instantly available. Mods for games can make something as old as morrowind still relevant and beautiful today. In fact most games you have played on a console look absolutely nothing like the pc version.

    PLUS, i really dont get the type of person that plays these games and not for a minute wants to see what they look like on the inside. Do you know want to open the tes editor once and poke around? Download the latest versions of UDK or Unity? Or check out the latest open sourced code from older games? Your xbox dumb going to give you that?

    Really if games dont matter to you that much why do you bother at all? I just dont get it. If you cant afford just THAT little bit more shouldn't you really be better off working a second job instead of sitting around just mindlessly wasting time?

    And what about ajax calls, firebug and chrome show send and receive in the console, does ie toolbar do that now? I'm not seeing it work still.

  5. Re:Makes sense on Browser Choice May Affect Your Job Prospects · · Score: 1

    "as effective as FireBug and the Chrome"

    okay so i never figured out how to track ajax activity with IE toolbar the way firebug and chrome does. there is also nothing available for the toolbar that works like firephp does with firebug and chrome. Is this still the case? The data management applications i work on are nothing but a div fed with a stream of content and interactions from the server fed through ajax so its kind of important.

    The last time i tried to use IE toolbar for this the most it would let me do is look at styling issues on the initial source loaded - that one div - and it was unaware of all the changes taking place in dom from minute to minute. Firebug and chrome are great for this sort of thing though i prefer firebug. But sometimes IE has quirks that i need to analyze. Would be nice if that toolbar could help.

    actually you don't have to do this anymore. at least not where i live. there is a hall you can go to just downtown and they give you food there for free. there is a shelter just two blocks down from there where you can sleep there on a cot. also three blocks in the other direction there is an underpass you can setup camp under for the night.

    It's so bad at this point you can pretty much just drool on the keyboard and you'll still be just fine "raiding".

    Weren't most people in the mmo community saying this about wow before it even launched?

    This game took the whole genre and brought it to this lowest common denominator drive thru window mentality.

    And millions have rewarded them for doing exactly this.

    So why is it NOW wow players would be complaining, every expansion is just a logical follow up to how the game was built 'dumbed down' in the first place?

  24. Re:Love on Company Unveils Personalized Anime Robot Girl · · Score: 5, Insightful

    For me the social awkward anti-social thing was over with when high school started, and i have had my fun and a few marriages.

    Now I'm in that age range where the girls I find interesting have plenty of other younger guys to go home with for the night. And the women who are my age or older and at the bars looking are.... eh.... not interesting. Those women are still looking at the world like its the 80s, they think facebook IS the internet, and physically most of them have lost what they used to have. And a one nighter means dodging the husband and kids.

    Escorting is no easy out either. Law enforcement has raided and shut down most of the local boards I liked. And regardless of how much you pay there is no force on earth that will spare you the inevitable drama most females bring with them. It is very hard to find a paid girl who is actually interested in pleasing and not in a hurry to move along. And the price alone does add up to the point where some other investment starts to make sense.

    But all that aside, having a relationship requires you give a damn. I strictly do not. I have been down that long road twice and when it comes to all the goals and directions I have to pursue in life, sitting around and listening to someone elses noise, and watching their tv shows, and adding their laundry into the pile, just doesn't fit my life.

    This robot thing in the video is about useless, but the direction it suggests is a nice idea. Someday I will be older and floppier and these machines will grow more enticing. And there is a power button. !!!

    And the best part. I actually KNOW their language.
