    does the EFF have a limited budget?

    but adds in TV are really expensive.

  3. Re:Diablo II on Warcraft III V1.10 Patch Released · · Score: 1

    with this patch they went right from 1.06 to 1.10, so warcraft 3 didn't have as many patches as diablo

  4. Re:But... on Duke Nukem Forever FAQ Updated · · Score: 5, Interesting

    the reason 3DRealms is able to not produce anything for years is because they already foot the bill themself. DN3D was so succesful that they can still make money with their rights to it, and its characters
    if they would be funded by a publisher, they probably would have been forced to release something years ago

  5. Re:Why not make an ammendment to the MS EULA? on Microsoft Files 15 Lawsuits Against Spammers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    MS can do that if they want, but it definatly doesn't belong in the GPL.
    while spam is annoying and all, that is no reason to start limiting the uses of GPL software. also, when would you stop? how about forbiding warez, cause everybody besides warez monkeys hates warez, right?

    it is supported in phoenix. you when you set your homepage, you choose use bookmarks, and select some folder

  7. Re:I guess that's it for bytemonsoon on Mac OS X NWN Technology Demo Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    thats true, up to a limit. if too many people try to download from the same tracker, it will overload, and start dropping connection.
    in this case, the whole of bytemonsoon will probably be down shortly.

    also, there was a site for /. trackers. its down for maintenance right now, but i dont know for how long, so have a look:

  8. Re:Where's Starflight? MOM? Racing Destruction Set on Games That Should Be Remade · · Score: 1

    yes, i sure would like to see a remake of starflight. MoM i dont actually think it would really be needed, since it looked good enough, and still runs fine on my box.
    anyway, MoM might even get a sequel. well, then again im not sure if i want a sequel like MoO3

  9. how to get the stats.txt file on Impress Your Friends With Vice City Online Stats · · Score: 2, Informative

    incase anybody was looking for the file and couldn't find it, you have to load a game, view your stats, and press s to save them. that creates a stats.txt and a (horribly pink) stats.html in the folder your save games are in

  13. Re:Hotmail useless on Spammers Exploiting Hotmail Vulnerability · · Score: 5, Informative

    for all the people that obviosly didn't RTFA or even the summary, this is not about recieving spam on your hotmail account, but geting spam from hotmail accounts.
    basicly, before you spammers had to go through the slow web interface to send spam, now they can automate the process

  14. Re:What exactly *IS* a hostile takeover anyways? on Oracle's Hostile Takeover Bid For PeopleSoft · · Score: 3, Informative

    you offer to buy shares above the price they are traded on the open market.
    once you have more than 50% you control the company, so decided that it should merge with your company, or die, or whatever

  16. Re:20%? nothing...! on Motorola to Boost 0.13-micron PowerPCs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1 GHz might be enough for most things, but that wont help apple. the problem is that apple needs to offer fast computers, which actually sell. see, those people that only need 1 GHz computers probably already have one, so they really dont matter

    also, of course i can do everything with a 1 GHz cpu. however, i can do it faster with a 3 GHz one. true, i could just wait half an hour everytime i want to apply some complex filter in photoshop, but i dont want to

  17. Re:What could this lead to? on Online Auction Industry In A State Of Limbo · · Score: 2, Informative

    i guess to your defense you could argue that /. doesn't actually link to the patent. however, you really should know better than think the /. posting perfectly describes the patent.

    anyway, the abstract is obviously not the actual patent, just a quick overview of it. what actually was patented was more a way on how to manage a action site. its stuff like having bar codes at the product your storing, and being able get pictures and a description of it. true, still seems completly obvious, but not quite as bad. then again, if you read the whole patent, you'll also notice that it isn't just for the internet.

  19. warez? on Warcraft III Expansion Goes Gold, Due July 1st · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The press release describes "initial orders of over 2.5 million copies", which is even more impressive considering Warcraft III has 'only' sold "well over 3 million copies". are there really that many people buying the extension, or are there some people that have a pirated version that decided they like the game and now want to support blizzard?
