  1. Re:Seems like they are doing their last game over on Simpsons Hit A Home(r) Run With GTA Clone? · · Score: 1

    Except that Crazy Taxi sucked ass compared to GTA3. I'm looking forward to this title, its going to be a nice filler until GTA4 (or 5 depending on what you call Vice City). I can't wait to be able to explore the city, I hope that its right thats all!?!

  2. The problem with web services... on Java Web Services in a Nutshell · · Score: 1

    I think web services are a great idea, but from my understanding of them, it really is an all or nothing concept... either everyone has to use them and supply them or they are (mostly) useless to the general public...

  3. conspiracy ? on Taiwan Under Cyber Attack from China · · Score: 1, Funny

    Sounds like a conspiracy to me! (*Cough cough* bullshit.)

  4. Re:Clear Labeling of CDs.. on Crippled CD Deemed Defective In France · · Score: 1

    I was talking about the 'average' consumer...

  5. Re:Clear Labeling of CDs.. on Crippled CD Deemed Defective In France · · Score: 4, Informative

    This act is hardly going to help though. If you buy a CD that is labeled, and then it doesn't work, you're not going to be able to return it, because you were warned before you purchased!!!

  6. Re:Sierra on Blizzard's Uncertain Future Probed · · Score: 1

    There were other aspects to Sierras Death. While they made some fantastic Dos games (Kings Quest 1-4, LLS, Quest For Glory, Space Quest), their later titles didn't convert well to the point and click interface, Lucasarts and their SCUMM interface (Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, Indiania Jones, etc) Blew Sierras method out of the water... I think that in this case Sierras 'inovation' just plain went in the wrong direction (what was up with KQ7?!?)

  7. Re:Sierra is just stupid on Blizzard's Uncertain Future Probed · · Score: 1

    But remember that in Software Development, just because it is 95% complete, doesn't mean there is only 5% of the work left to complete...

  8. Bah! 'Linux certified' on Finally A Major-Brand Desktop With Linux, Not Windows · · Score: 1

    That means about as much as saying a computer is 'Windows certified', or that my PlayStation is 'PlayStation certified'. What I want is to be able to buy custom built computers from Dell or HP/Compaq (not HP/Compaq they take too long to build your computer, it took nearly 4 weeks when I ordered a new computer from them last month. !), WITHOUT an OS, and WITHOUT all that extra AOL crap and whatever else they throw on/in with a preloaded computer. What ever happened to be being able to buy a computer without all that crap.

  9. PS2 Emulation... on PS3 Backwards Compatibility Confirmed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Very good news indeed. But will the PS1 emulation be run from the PS3 or the PS2 emulator (an emulator running inside an emulator)??? ;)

  10. Re:whaaaa?!?!? on Programming .NET Components · · Score: 1

    Fucking retard. You never heard of a batch file? Did you really individually rebuild each file?
