  1. That silly embargo is still active?

    Sheesh, you'd think they'd be over the hole sugar thing by now.

  2. Never watched a single episode, and I'm still alive.

    WD are huge in the regular consumer market.
    Nearly everyone I know buys WD for storage disks.

    Quite sure the "school shooters" also frequented Facebook and McDonalds.

  6. Re:Is there a law? on Two Arrests In Denmark For Spreading Information About Popcorn Time · · Score: 1

    You mean like the numerous apps and websites dedicated to notifying drivers of where speedtraps are currently located, which are perfectly legal and are even advertised on public TV?

    And I can go on.

  8. Insert Coin on Satoru Iwata, Head of Nintendo, Has Died At 55 · · Score: 1

    Where is the coin slot?
    I'd like to insert some coins to avoid this "Game Over".

  9. Re:Broken Content on Warner Bros. Halts Sales of AAA Batman PC Game Over Technical Problems · · Score: 3, Informative

    Console version is fine actually, it's the crappy PC Ports that's suffering.

  10. Re:Dues it matter? on Sony Releasing New 1TB PlayStation 4 In July · · Score: 1

    You can say the same for laptops.
    So easily replaced, but laptops with larger drives costs more than what the drive would had cost by itself by quite a lot.

    In most cases it's cheaper to buy the laptop with the smallest HDD and replace it yourself with something larger or a SSD.

    Oh and to answer your question, it's a 2.5 inch drive in the PS4, though with a height limit of 9.5mm iirc.
    People have reported 4TB working fine.

  11. Re:I do not consent on FDA Bans Trans Fat · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Then you should also sign a card saying you are not entitled to medical care to treat potential illnesses caused that have direct links to the digestion of trans fats, unless you pay for it yourself.

    I'm all for "it's my body" and all that, I honestly am, but not at the expense of others.

  12. "block" on Australian ISPs Will Be Forced To Block (Some) Pirate Websites · · Score: 2

    Resolving the domain name to an internal warning page isn't "blocking".
    That's just a minor inconvenience while people just use a different DNS.

    Even if they decide to actively block the traffic originated to and from those IP addresses people will just use a tunnel.

    So by all means, "block" it and say you did to get the government of your back.
    In real life it has no meaning.

  13. Re: Like a dice on Does a Black Hole Have a Shape? · · Score: 1

    I wasn't sure if I should reply with the correct answer or "whoosh" myself.
    Kind of hard to tell if people feel the need to iterate a joke or are genuinely oblivious.

    I went with the former. My mistake I suppose.

  14. Re:Like a dice on Does a Black Hole Have a Shape? · · Score: 0

    "Die" is the singular form of "Dice".
    "Dice" is plural.

    Die.

  16. Use yourself as audience. on Why Some Developers Are Live-Streaming Their Coding Sessions · · Score: 2

    I talk to myself when I code by myself.
    Talking about what I'm about to do and the problems and potential consequences, out loud helps me process it and spot potential issues or better directions.

    Well, they ARE using it for a private network....of sorts.

  18. Re:Bunch of knobs on Xbox Live and PlayStation Networks Downed By Apparent Attack · · Score: 1

    I've played on my PS4 most of yesterday without a hitch.
    Sure, no multiplayer or any online functions, but my single player games worked fine.

  19. Re:Bunch of knobs on Xbox Live and PlayStation Networks Downed By Apparent Attack · · Score: 1

    If only the games for these systems didn't depend on Microsoft's and Sony's servers to be accessible for them to work. It's almost as if it's some kind of crazy DRM scheme.

    They don't.
    At least not any of those I have, they work just fine without PSN.

    Even installed a game from disc without PSN validation.

  20. Re:Bunch of knobs on Xbox Live and PlayStation Networks Downed By Apparent Attack · · Score: 1

    My PS4 games works fine without PSN connection.
    As with your Skyrim, I can't synchronize save data or trophies. It's saved local untill servers are up, and obviously can't play multiplayer, but beyond that my games works just fine.

    I even installed a new game without PSN connection, without any problems.

  21. Re:Bunch of knobs on Xbox Live and PlayStation Networks Downed By Apparent Attack · · Score: 1

    Do they need PSN to play those games?
    I've played both Tomb Raider and GTA:V yesterday just fine without PSN connection.

    Tell your friend to disable Motion Flow (whatever it's called on his brand of TV).

  23. Re:Sony needs to invest in their IT on Sony Hacks Continue: PlayStation Hit By Lizard Squad Attack · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Most electronics that connect to your wireless network has this vulnerability.
    Are you really bashing Sony for warning the users about this fact?

    I thought it'd be a good thing to warn the user, so they might secure it themselves.
