  1. Re:Kids are overrated on World of Warcraft Gold Limit Reached, It's 2^31 · · Score: 1

    Hate to be your kid that's for sure. You decided to have him. He didn't have choice in being born. You hate having kids and he will know it no matter what your try. You can't fake it. He will be in therapy when he's older wishing he shot you when you were sleeping I bet.

  2. Re:PC technology, Mac prices on Intel Mac Performance Behind Hype · · Score: 1

    Let's see, since Apple doesn't pay retail for it's own software your $200 doesn't make sense. Apple isn't value based, doesn't mean it's a bad choice, just not the best value for the dollar.

  3. Re:They're Still in the DSLR business on Konica Minolta Quits Photography Market · · Score: 1

    You said a definative statment that wasn't true. Doesn't matter if they are "minor" players. Just pointing that out :)

    Wrong, Fuji and Kodak also make sensors. Please research before spreading false information.

  5. So wth is left now? on Monad Shell Removed From Vista · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ok we've been seen the reverse-feature creep so MS can release this late next year. At this point there sounds like there is little difference between XP and Vista besides cosmetics. Funny thing is you know the damm DRM will make the cut. Bastards...

  6. Re:Video card still underwhelming on New iBook and Apple mini · · Score: 1

    The Mini is a toy, nothing more. Fine if you just want to read email/surf. If you need to do anything serious, there's not enough horsepower there. Apple is just now trying to squeeze $$ out of the dumb zealot userbase. Save your coin, wait for Intel/superior performance and the future of Apple.

  7. Re:Sweet Spot on New iBook and Apple mini · · Score: 1

    Yup, another Apple fanboi. They don't realize that the Mini still can't price/performance compete with PCs. That's one of the big reasons Apple is going Intel isn't it? :) There's lots of options for virus/spyware protection that don't cost a dime that work great. Add using Firefox, you don't get anything. At least I never have. Face it, even with the Mac Mini, Apple is still overpriced for performance that you get. Try again Mac Zealots...

    "once gaming really takes off on the Mac?" You'll be waiting a LONG LONG time I think on that.

  9. Ya I know of this jackass on Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights · · Score: 2, Informative

    I had a domain name that I picked at random years ago. Never put a web server up like I had planned but kept the domain name around in case I had a change of heart. I receive this huge packet of fill-in-the-blank legal documents from him threatning me for this and that. After doing some searches online about this character, find out he represents himself in all cases. He's not an attorney, just a guy that knows how to play the system. He tries to drag out proceedings so the plantiff's finally settle out of court instead of drawn out legal fees. Funny thing is, it was a different word in this case (not Stealth) that he claimed to have owned. After doing searches, I found out this jackass had no registered uses of this name anywhere. Needless to say, I chucked the crap. I was supposed to get sued if I didn't reply in 14 days, guess what happened? Nada, what a suprise. He even has a fan site, where there's lots of companies/individuals also receiving the same junk mail. He's a leach, he has no products or services actually, he just tries to fear people to paying him through legal extortion. Hope this guy dies of some long and painful fight with cancer. I know lots of people would be partying that night.

  10. Re:Why No Mac Support? on Ask City of Heroes Lead Designer Jack Emmert · · Score: 1

    Let's see, Mac has less than 5% market share. Costs to port single player games are considerably less than MMORPG's I would guess. Mac's aren't worth the time financially to port most MMORPG's, that's why most aren't. Not hard to figure out.

  11. Re:Endgame on Ask City of Heroes Lead Designer Jack Emmert · · Score: 1

    I made 50 in this game and I agree. Even 40+ this game became a joke. There is zero high end content. I said the same as you. I'll be back when City of Villians comes out. You know what? I have lost complete interest now. It's been too long. You will do the same just like most...

  12. Re:Not that interesting anymore on An Exhaustive 16X DVD Burner Roundup · · Score: 1

    DVD media is dirt cheap. I think I paid like 28 cents per disk last time I bought some 8x DVD-R. If you think that's expensive...

  13. Re:Sirius better get a move on on XM Portable Satellite Radio Receiver with Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    If anything Sirius is the BetaMax of Satellite. They have a much much smaller customer base. Remember Sirius has to get an additional 1.3 million subscribers (from an AP Press article that I read) just to pay for Stern alone. Sirius is bleeding cash at a exponential rate (much worse than XM).

  14. Re:I am totally enamored with the Squeezebox. on Centrally-Controlled Home Music System on a Budget? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ok as a longtime Slimserver/Slimp3 user I'll address your points. a) Support more audio channels? You want support for surround audio? I don't think many people care about this feature. Not much content out there to hear anyways. b) Let's see, you can adjust the volume from the remote, the receiver that the Squeezebox is plugged into or via the web interface. No other solution gives you this many options. c) You get what you pay for. Nothing else out there comes even close to what a Slimserver/Squeezebox combo delivers.

    My last company was a Fortune 5 and we got 4, yes 4, holidays per year. That was for the whole company not just for specialy needed groups that needed to be on call etc. The vacaction time was comparable to everyone else.

  20. Re:hrm, I disagree. on Internet Job Boards a Bunch of Hype? · · Score: 1

    Well it probally has more to do with the saturated job market than how "perfect" you are for the job. No one is as special as they think they are. Believe me there are 100s if not 1000s of people with similar experience looking at the same jobs. Don't take it personally.
