  1. Where it really matters. on NNSA Supercomputer Breaks Computing Record · · Score: 1

    But more importantly, what's it 3dmark score?

  2. Re:Are they still going to rip-off old storylines? on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer · · Score: 1

    They do bring up the subject of elections later as well as the opposition party. Furthermore there is a 'terrorist' figure who does make most of the situation to gain supporters. Methinks you haven't watched it past the initial few episodes.

  3. Torrents on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sweet, I can soon return to my regular habit of downloading both BSG and 24 on Monday nights. I can't wait for it to start especially after that cliffhanger ending. I only hope that they can continue to make interesting episodes, and didn't blow their creative load all on the first season.

  4. Re:No performance benefits? on Pushing The 512MB Barrier On Video Cards · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you use uncompressed textures on Ultra setting, it tries to use 512 MB of video memory. I really doubt that the difference quality is really noticeable during actual gameplay. However, hardware review sites love to take screenshots and magnify them 1000x to analyze the lines on ceiling tiles, so I guess it will make them happy.

  5. Re:+5 informative for the .torrent on Chief of eBay's Indian Site Arrested, Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    Good idea. Oh wait....damn you!

  6. How about the rest of the world? on Everquest 2 vs. World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    "undisputed heavyweight MMO champ EverQuest" I guess they're ignoring the rest of the world where the number of people playing Lineage far surpasses that of those playing EQ and EQ 2 combined.

  7. Re:But is it enough? on Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Confirmed · · Score: 1

    It's almost a month's salary for me. If I could design maps I would personally find it a large enough incentive to do so.

  8. Re:the company being a Best Buy Co. or Circuit Cit on IGN/GameSpy Tries Hitpoints, Lusts Non-Gaming Market · · Score: 2, Funny

    I agree, walking to the store to buy a new game is the only time I have to walk outside and interact with the world these days...oh wait, I get them from Suprnova, nevermind.

  9. Sweet... on Seagate Rolls Out 400 GB SATA Drives · · Score: 0, Redundant

    More storage space for my ever growing collection of porn. I do no need 400GB...really!

  10. Re:Vehicle is stationary on Americas Army Releases Special Forces 2.1 Update · · Score: 1

    No actually the vehicle in the game IS stationary. As in it doesn't move. All you get to do is control the turret, which is still fun IMHO.

  11. Re:I got one of the "free" phones... on AT&T Wireless Phone "Upgrades" Aren't · · Score: 1

    You didn't even try it to ebay it? I'm impressed.

  12. Re:Outlook on Next Generation Mail Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Actually if you read the reviews on the linked site, there IS actually a review for Outlook. The parent just forgot to include it in the summary.

  13. Re:Star Wars on Star Wars Episode III Spoiler Photos · · Score: 3, Informative

    Although in all honesty I really didn't see a need for a spoiler alert. Since there really was no spoiler....

  14. Re:I continue to be impressed with OSS! on WineX 3.3 Out - Now Supports Steam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Windows doesn't actually come 'free' with the machine. The cost is passed on the manufacturer who include it somehow into the general price of the computer. Now an open-source OS on the other hand, may truly be a 'free' piece of software for the consumer.
