  2. Re:you may want to google ProTools on Review: Nerdcore Hip-Hop Compilation CD Project · · Score: 1

    Are you a troll, or being serious? You have to be the most musically ignorant, closed-minded individual on the planet.

  3. Re:WorstBuy - Sales Method on What Do Geek Squad Technicians Actually Do? · · Score: 1
    "3.) GeekSquad, although is a new thing, is marketting, only marketting, nothing backing it up, other then the same A+ cert guy able to stick in a card in a motherboard and hope windows detects it. Remember Geek is Chic now, and BestBuy wants to look chic."

    Actually, only the supervisors are A+ certified for 'Geek Squad'. The techs need no qualifications / certification...

  4. Re:A disturbance in The Force? How stupid is this? on WGA Turning Off PCs in the Fall? · · Score: 1

    "er...xp is pretty much the best of breed operating system."

    Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahaha....

    That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

  5. Re:Spelling on Understanding OS X Kernel Internals · · Score: 1

    Yes, it pisses me off alot to.

  6. Re:Nintendo's Wii akin to Chevrolet's Nova? on Both Sides of Wii · · Score: 1

    I personally look forward to the ability to play with my Wii one-handed.

  7. Re:re on Computer Buying Experiences at B&M Stores · · Score: 1

    I was at my local Fry's Electronics in the HID aisle and two early-20s guys came in looking at mice. They picked up a "RF Wireless Notebook Mouse" and asked the clerk "Now, will this work in a desktop, too?". I was flabberghasted when the sales-monkey, without skipping a beat went "Oh no, that's just for laptops" and proceeded to try and sell them a Logitech MX1000 for triple the cost.... Real nice....

  8. Don't feed the troll... on On World of Warcraft's Network Issues · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Doesn't help fight terrorism on AT&T Seeks to Hide Spy Docs · · Score: 1

    No, no. You've got it all wrong. They hate FREEDOM!

  10. Re:Perfect... on RIAA Recommends Students Drop out of College · · Score: 1

    Except that 'c u next tuesday' isn't an acronym... but just as idiotic, yes.

  12. Re:Snow Crash on When Virtual Worlds Collide · · Score: 1

    Screw that, I want my Victorian house on tank treads, damnit.

  13. Re:*sigh* Gotta be Politically Correct in fantasy. on Blizzard CEO Lays Gay Guild Issue To Rest · · Score: 1

    Your comment of "No one wants to hear about the 20,000 women I've been with either." has nothing to do with the matter at hand. They weren't running around saying "HEY I FUCK A LOT OF OTHER MEN IN THE ASS!!!", they were advertising their guild for like-minded people. It was more along the lines of "Stonewall Champions, a GLBT-fiendly guild is looking for new members! PST for info!"... I don't possibly see how that could be construed as offensive to anyone. (And if you are SOOOOOO offended by what gets said in General chat, /leave General...)

    And yes, I play on the same server as The Stonewall Champions and The Spreading Taint, the two guilds in question.

  14. Re:Servers for "light players" ? on World of Warcraft Teaches the Wrong Things? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As a 'casual' player, the game is just as fun. You just need to detach from the 'OMG UBER PURPZ LOL LEARN2PLAY NOOB' mindset. My wife and I both have accounts and between work, university and all the other 'life stuff' out time to play is really limited. But we still have a blast when we do! We've just taken our time and play for fun, exploring and adventuring together.... not for 'PURPZ'. It all has to do with what's important for *you* in a game.

  15. Re:Dead Hacker on Acquittal of German Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    It wasn't the 'visibility' of the name that was the issue. His parents had trademaked his name/pseudonym and were planning to release a book about him.

  16. Re:Time to vote NO, but in what election? on Librarian Stands up to the Feds · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but if you've been shot in the head, that sort of negates the whole "you trying to get your child back"... unless you go for the "zombie abductor revenge from beyond the graaaave!!!" angle.

  17. Re:I am not surprised. on World of Warcraft AQ Gates Open! · · Score: 1

    By the time toon creation was halted on Mediveh, the queue was well over 1000 and GMs were teleporting all the level 1 alts that had been created and were camped by the gates back to their faction towns. So while toon creation was halted several days ago, *thousands* of new toons were rolled before *any* action was taken. So... dude... what the hell are *you* talking about?

  18. Re:Very nice of you to tell us on World of Warcraft AQ Gates Open! · · Score: 2, Funny

    And we all know that the best way to get away from those confounding acronyms is to read a tech news site, as there are absolutely none of those there, right?

  19. Re:He's already there... on Leo Laporte Returns to G4TV · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Random thoughts on Apple on Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    You're right. They don't put them on the drives... They put them on the keyboard where... you know... your fingers are most of the time.

  22. Worthington's Law on What is Mainframe Culture? · · Score: 1

    That's right, Bob. Listen to your friend, a person who makes more money than you is better than you, and therefore beyond criticism. This is called the Worthington Law [which reads "More Money = Better Than"] and it's used to gauge the value of human worth. Carl Espick, economist, and editor of Value Magazine. LINK

  23. Re:If the feature was hidden/accidental... on GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas · · Score: 1
    "The only doom being held over a companies head is that of the market. A store that chooses not to carry an Adult rated game is making a choice. The same choice as a store not carrying a pro Nazi or KKK game. Their customers would not like it"

    I know a lot more people that enjoy sex than I do people that enjoy bigotry and hate mongering

    "I find it amusing that "Adult" is often attributed things that are at best immature."

    Thank you for your opinion

  24. Re:Someone should patent blame deflection on Inventor of Proxy Firewall Blames Hackers · · Score: 1
    They're the ones who place their desire for fun ahead of everyone on earth's desire for peace and [the] right to privacy.

    Well, them and the Republicans.

  25. Re:Authenticate This! on Give Your DVD Player The Finger · · Score: 1

    The only way I can ever see mainstream America adopting this is if you tell them that it somehow foils terrorism. Hell, it's worked so far...
