  1. Re:Could be worse. on Brazil Demands Repatriation of UK Hazardous Waste · · Score: 1

    Brits eat waste?

  2. Re:You're doing it wrong. on Why Game Developers Should Shut Up About Used Games · · Score: 1

    If the game does not have any replayability and can be
    completed in 20 hours, why would I pay $60 for it
    instead of $30? And if I pay $60 for the game what would
    be my incentive of not selling the game to someone else
    and get at least some of my money back?

  3. Re:Ever heard of WW2? on British Men Jailed For Online Hate Crimes · · Score: 1

    In europe it is forbidden to be a member of a nazi group.

    I think this applies to only Germany.

  4. Re:Might read this again on The Technology of Neuromancer After 25 Years · · Score: 1

    Well, you are quite right but *I* have considered them as a single work.

  5. Re:Might read this again on The Technology of Neuromancer After 25 Years · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a trilogy so yes you should read them all. And I would suggest reading Johnny Mnemonic as well. I really cannot say which one is the best as I've always thought about it as one work.

  6. Re:Nothing to do with sex... on Daily Sex Helps Improve Fertility · · Score: 1

    No, that helps keeping the prostate clean. I had prostate problems
    about six month ago and my doctor suggested ejaculation as a cure:
    sex (yes, I have a wife) or masturbation. The alternative was to
    eat alfa-blockers (Tamsulosin) which reduce blood pressure but in
    my case BP was getting way too low and causing a lot of problems.

    So a lot of ejaculations will keep your prostate in good shape.

  7. Re:Wiimote = sword? on Sega Not Giving Up On Mature Wii Games · · Score: 1

    Well, that might be ok but I was thinking more like fantasy type of game or Conan (Barbarian, not O'Brien)

  8. Wiimote = sword? on Sega Not Giving Up On Mature Wii Games · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Some sort of hack and slash type game might be great with wiimote.

  9. Damn! on WHO Declares H1N1's Spread Officially a Pandemic · · Score: 1

    This means I have to get the goddamn vaccine shot on Monday when my vacation ends as I work as a nurse.

  10. Re:I've got one already... on 7-inch Android Netbook From GNB · · Score: 1

    Very interesting looking device and they also offer all source code on their website.

    It seems you have the MIPS version of the device, I wonder if the ARM based is any
    different (faster etc.) as they don't seem the provide complete specs for the actual
    CPUs they use.

  11. And the inevitable problems on Ubuntu 9.04 For the Windows Power User · · Score: 0

    Printer won't work, "where's Live Messenger?", "how come my games won't work?"

  12. Re:Who Cares? on MS, Intel "Goofed Up" Win 7 XP Virtualization · · Score: 1

    The big deal is that with this move Microsoft may have ensured that those enterprises will upgrade to Windows 7.

  13. Re:Great service from Blizzard! on StarCraft II Beta Signups Open · · Score: 1

    Just register a Battle.net account. There you can enter the cd-key and get a download link.

  14. Great service from Blizzard! on StarCraft II Beta Signups Open · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I registered my old Starcraft cd-key from 1998 for the first time and was really surprised when a) it actually worked b) I could download a whole new installer with Brood War included. I had a similar surprise when I registered my old Half-Life cd-key with Steam and got all the HL1 based games for free.

  15. Windows XP Mode on Microsoft Suffers Leaks, Lagging Sales Numbers As They Look Forward To Windows 8 · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think the most interesting new feature will the new Windows XP Mode which is
    basically Virtual PC running Windows XP client seamlessly on the desktop. Most
    likely it will gain interest in enterprises planning to upgrade XP installations.

  16. E-book reader on First Android-Based Netbook, Set-Top Box · · Score: 1

    I think these upcoming ARM based devices would be the thing
    to get a decent e-book reader which can be used for something
    else as well.

    I wish I had one of these few of months ago when I had to
    stay a couple of nights at a hospital. Xvids, e-books and mp3
    collection.

    This is what the netbooks should be: really cheap, small form
    and great battery life.

  17. IPTV on Time Warner To Offer Unlimited Bandwidth For $150 · · Score: 1

    So no IPTV for Time Warner customers, eh?

  18. Rapid CRP on Believing In Medical Treatments That Don't Work · · Score: 3, Interesting

    At least here in Finland it is common practice to take a rapid CRP test from patients when they show symptoms of for example sinusitis. If the result is less than 10 sinusitis is most likely caused by a viral infection so no antibiotics will do the patient any good.

  19. Re:see sig... on 17 Million People Stopped Buying CDs In 2008 · · Score: 1

    I've bought maybe 20 new CD's after Tool released Ænima, which was 1996, when I was 22. Maybe 10,000 Days was a similar event for you, after that most of new music has been just crap.

  20. Re:"With price not being much of a concern..." on Solar Power Pre-Deployment To Afghanistan? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And gives a really nice target for enemy snipers.

  21. Re:One thing I wish they'd fucking fix on Windows 7 To Skip Straight To a Release Candidate · · Score: 1

    I had to use a key from Technet to get the "Send Feedback" thing working.

  22. Re:...And nominated for the Wile E. Coyote Award.. on Fallout 3 DLC and Games For Windows Live Woes · · Score: 1

    Thanks!

  23. Re:How to play Operation: Anchorage without Live on Fallout 3 DLC and Games For Windows Live Woes · · Score: 1

    I don't think you can. Too bad as I detest Windows Live but I bought it anyway.

  24. Re:How to play Operation: Anchorage without Live on Fallout 3 DLC and Games For Windows Live Woes · · Score: 1

    I've had no problems with the launcher and thanks for the links!
