  1. Re:The only prudent thing to do with these things. on Time Warner Cable Modems Expose Users · · Score: 1

    Depending on your physical layout, couldn't you run a cable from the STB directly to the Verizon router?

    Unrelated, I have FIOS and it was interesting running a scan of the machines/port/services on the network. Granted, most of it meant nothing to me, but here was the return:

    PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
    7501/tcp open unknown
    8082/tcp open http gSOAP httpd 2.7
    21303/tcp open ssl/tcpwrapped

    Wait. Are we talking about the lap dances or merger talks with Microsoft?

    Or people who RTFA.

  6. Re:Looks full of fail on Dev Discusses Upcoming Spy-MMO, The Agency · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm trying to figure out from the videos if it's first-person or third-. They keep calling it an FPS, but is that just in comparing it conceptually to one, or is that really the camera angle?

    No, but the Horde would probably pay well :)

  8. Re:The game on Free-To-Play Switch Going Well For D&D Online · · Score: 1

    It's no different in something like WoW with shouts of "Gear check" when there's a raid run. The biggest benefit to a RAID PUG is to get new, better equipment. The only way to get better equipment is to have sufficiently good equipment to get into a group that's going after better equipment. It's very much a circular course of trying to get/be the best (ditto in Wow PVP. I'm assuming in other games, as well, but WoW is the only MMORPG that I tried.) Setting aside the monetary aspect of the addiction-like behavior referenced above (spending ~$100/month for insta-builds, etc.) it's the same mindset.

  9. Irony on Yet Another Premature Declaration of Email's Death · · Score: 1

    The guy probably emailed the story in to his editors.

    True. The damn things would probably still taste the same.

    Yeah, that'll happen right after the Big Mac that I order ends up looking just like the one in the commercial.

  17. As is often the case with these types of stories on Canadian Minister Lies On Net Surveillance Claims · · Score: 1

    So what? Is he going to not get re-elected? Go to prison? Get a slap on the wrist? Nothing will happen to him and he'll most likely do it again. Most people won't understand what he did. All they'll care about is a bad guy was caught and someone said it was because of the Innerwebs were being closely watched, therefore, we need to keep watching for bad guys. I'm not meaning this to be a troll or flamebait post, but these stories generally accomplish only one thing: They piss off /. readers. I know it had that effect on me.

  18. Re:I know the bathroom is here somewhere on Google Wants to Map Indoors, Too · · Score: 1

    Well, thanks to Google's commentrank technology, the more comments marked "funny" that spawn off of this one will increase the parent's "funny" ranking, allowing context-sensitive ads like "Kdawson post" or "YRO" or even "citation needed" to appear.
