  1. Re:My theory on Windows 8 Killing PC Sales · · Score: 1

    I run Windows 7 on my home PC and Windows 8 on my laptop and work PC, on the Win8 machines I installed "Classicshell" to retain the normal start menu because I despise the Metro Tiles, they are crap crap crap.

    Classicshell is opensource, bonus :)

    With a big name like Simcity, it could have turned around the company quite a bit I think.

    And how about not being restricted to the Apple Walled Garden Appstore, the freedom Android gives me is quite a plus in my book :)

  4. Re:Until it doesn't on Official: Playstation 4 Will Play Used Games · · Score: 1

    Almost correct, in the beginning not all games were playable on the PS3, they would add more compatibility packs in time, but I haven't seen much of that activity from them. I believe this is more accurate.

    Don't forget the destruction of Lik-Sang

    Personally I think Valve is doing fine with Steam, however it doesn't hurt to stay watchful and vocal just to make sure they stay on the path we want them to stay on.

  7. It's hilarious that some people look down on DnD but they thoroughly enjoy their fantasy football leagues. hmmmmm.

  8. Re:Kudos on Anonymous Hacks Westboro Baptist Church · · Score: 1

    I totally agree, but with their hatespewing they shouldn't be surprised if someone decides to take them out.
    Personally, I wouldn't miss them.

    Awwww the humanity, the horrible horrible harm that those dogs are doing to eachother, give them a cuddle for me :)

    Well in this thread alone (from what I read so far) you have already hurt 14 puppies, so maybe you are ;)

  11. Re:Different universe on Neil deGrasse Tyson Pinpoints Superman's Home Star System · · Score: 2

    What if the flying is explained by properly timed superfarts?
    Superman can do anything, so full control of his sphincter isn't beyond the realm of possibilities.
    It would also explain why the cape always flutters while he is "floating" in midair.

    Now now, respect his opinion even if you do disagree with it.
    I am dutch and I am very interested in what happens, especially since it will influence the rest of the world as well and because it might give Jon Stewart and Colbert some great jokes which I will enjoy very much :)
    Latest poll who people in the Netherlands would vote for this week was over 90% for Obama, that was funny to read as well :)

  14. Re:Best online stream? on US Presidential Debate #2 Tonight: Discuss Here · · Score: 2

    I am from the Netherlands, but I have had a great interest in US politics for a while now.
    1. It is funny to watch, especially through Jon Stewart and Colbert's glasses
    2. I am aghast with all the hypocrisy
    3. Since the US has a big impact on the world (thanks for that banking crisis btw), it is also important to know what kind of political and financial ripples come over from across the pond.

    You know, this is the only reason I can see that would make me think about this practice being reasonable.

    You may not be a lawyer, but I like the way you think good sir :)
    Too bad I can't answer your question though, since I live in the Netherlands.

  18. Re:Bethesda is just incompentant on Bethesda: We Can't Make Dawnguard Work On the PS3 · · Score: 1

    I love my Skyrim and Fallouts, but in all honesty, Bethesda's reputation for bugs is well known and sorrily enough well deserved.

    Oh please, don't read apple-hate in what was written, I prefer e-ink than an lcd to read as well and I don't hate apple at all.
    the ipad might be fine for pdf's, but for epubs etc, I prefer my e-reader above all else, right now I am rereading the complete Wheel of Time series on it, before that I read all the Game of Thrones and Robin Hobb's latest book (sucky ending, have to wait for the sequel again).

    As I am in the market for a new NAS myself, I will definitely take a look at these :)

  24. Re:Why host internally? Move data into the cloud. on Ask Slashdot: Stepping Down From an Office Server To NAS-Only? · · Score: 1

    Not just that, but I just read a short news article about Microsoft having their staff snoop through private files of their Skydriver users.
    Their explanation is that every file is scanned and the ones that get flagged get a manual inspection.
    A user of the Tweakers.net website got his Skydrive blocked because he had 1 or more nude pictures on it and MS doesn't like nudity it seems.
    I'll never cloudify my "personal" pictures like that. That user now has a windows smartphone with very limited functionality because of this taurus excrementus.

    Network Attached Storage

    I use it myself and am quite happy with it, I have an old Netgear with 4x2TB drives in Raid 5, good enough to hold my media and music and all the important files in backup. It's fast enough for streaming to my XBMC HTPC as well. :)
