  1. Maybe I should RTFA, but... on Microsoft Messenger Architect On The Future Of IM · · Score: 2, Redundant

    What's the difference between SIP and XMPP?

  2. What ever happened to...? on Sword Of Mana - Another Square Enix GBA Success? · · Score: 0

    ...that Star Ocean game they were developing for the GBA? I know I loved the PS game and that it has quite a cult. Why is news so slow?

  3. Re:User friendliness on Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik Responds · · Score: 0

    Try Mandrake. Pop in the CD and everything *just works*, no common sense required.

  4. Re:GameCube Deals on Bargain Videogame Tips For Holidays? · · Score: 0

    TimeSplitters 2 is now on the bargain pile and is an assload of fun for my Gamecube. Too bad is doesn't have online play for the cube, though.

  5. Re:That's great and all on America's Army - Special Forces Released · · Score: 0

    Those weren't ads, merely a browser plugin bug. icculus is responsible for Mac and Linux releases. He's usually lagging behind about a month, but he makes good ports.

  6. Re:xbox silliness on GameCube - Doubles U.S Share, UK Status, Zelda Bundle · · Score: 0

    and Perfect Dark, Turok 3, Turok Rage Wars, Rogue Squadron, not Ocarina of Time, however. I'm sure there's more that it works with...

  7. Looks like you're screwed on What to Do When Your ISP Steals Your Domain? · · Score: 0

    The ISP is the one who actually owns the domain is what it sounds like. Since you're just renting it from them it looks like you can't get it from someone else for now. However, perhaps a solution to this is going ahead and getting a new domain and making the old one link to the new one for a month or two, then switch.

  8. Re:It's been done... on Wireless Audience Response Systems? · · Score: 0

    Perhaps the response system should have an input for clap or no clap, and how many. Maybe even an input for hollering and if so, how many decibels.

  9. Re:This surprises me on Few Takers For RIAA's "Clean Slate" · · Score: 0

    So...did you sign up for it? :-) No trolling intended.

  10. Re:SW ref on New Moon System Around Uranus · · Score: 0

    ...starbases!

  11. Flaming wreck on Ukrainian Computer Destruction Championship · · Score: 0

    Is it possible to overclock a processor until it actually cooks and potentially bursts into flames? I've heard of a case where a guy's RAM was fused together, but never saw any proof. Any thoughts?

  12. But... on Splinter Cell Developers Defect, Ubisoft Objects · · Score: 0

    They signed into it, so why shouldn't they be expecting lawsuits? It's their own fault for signing what they should have read. Don't sign what you don't agree with.

  13. Oh boy on Biofeedback Game Soothes Minds · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Think of the uses in the porn industry... :-)

  14. Re:This is a bitch on Resolving Everything: VeriSign Adds Wildcards · · Score: 1, Informative

    Add to /etc/hosts.deny 64.94.110.11 Problem solved.

  15. But there's just one problem... on Does C# Measure Up? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ...VB only works on Windows.

  16. Whoa whoa whoa! on Does C# Measure Up? · · Score: 1

    There's a D? What's next? Eb? Technology is moving at an incredible rate, indeed!

  17. Re:Don't need to get negative mods, so AC it is. on 25 Most Overrated Games of All Time? · · Score: 1

    Fallout? You forget Fallout 2, sequel to the best RPG ever. It was just as good, with even more stuff and bigger cities, although some of the side quests left off without finishing and some of the completed side quests weren't as satisfying. And when you mention Deus Ex, never, EVER forget to mention System Shock and System Shock 2 as well, since they're almost the same concept as Deus Ex and are loads of scare-the-shit-out-of-you fun.

  18. Doom 2 on 25 Most Overrated Games of All Time? · · Score: 1

    How about Doom 2? That game was just more Doom. Yeah, Doom was great in its day, and so was the sequel. Come on though, do you really need to go out and buy more levels of that instead of just getting a bunch of fan-made levels?

  19. After entering my CD key... on Valve Releases, Tries To License Steam · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This sure ain't the beta...I put in my CD key from this shit Blue-Shift I have and it tells me I'm entitled to a 1 month subscription...to a game I PAID FOR (Opposing Force comes with BS) just to use their meta-server! I doubt anybody will pay to play a 5 year old game online...at least, I hope not.

  20. Re:Mods/Skinz, valve is screwing them over... on Valve Releases, Tries To License Steam · · Score: 0

    Actually, it says the new version will let you use skins. It also says something about a conversion wizard about using existing content, but I don't know what that means.

  21. CD key? on Valve Releases, Tries To License Steam · · Score: 0

    I downloaded Steam by itself about a month ago without having HL before. I got HL, CS, OP4 and the like for free. Is it any different now?

  22. Re:amen on Exposing Personal Information in the Whois Database · · Score: 0

    Yes...I understand you much more now. Even so, you still gotta know alot about computers in order to even know what a whois database is; as for me, I'm the only one I know personally that knows what one is! I figure that if you know what a whois is, you probably know (or have potential to learn) many other, more effective data mining methods or hacking techniques to either harm your target or find out more about him.

  23. Re:amen on Exposing Personal Information in the Whois Database · · Score: 0

    Internet surfing really isn't very anonymous or secure, and I don't think the internet itself was ever meant to be. Maybe you should try Freenet.

  24. Re:This will kill CS on Half-Life Games Make Steam Compulsory · · Score: 0

    Actually, Steam and all the games on it (right now) are free. I got CS, HL, and OP4 all for free with a reasonably fast downoad. Mods work on it, too.

  25. Re:cd's are bad on Australian Court Doubles CD Importers' Fines · · Score: 0

    On a similar note, I haven't bought any music for myself recorded after 1987 or so (not counting remastered recordings), for the same reasons.
