  1. Obligatory on Arizona Attempts To Make Trolling Illegal · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Gee, thanks. on Google Strikes Deal With Paramount · · Score: 1

    Par for the course? Absolutely not. I'm actually shocked to see that, for once, someone out there included Canada in the deals.

    I still haven't read anything about the OS/hardware requirements, however.

  3. Re:Auction House on The State of the Diablo 3 Beta (Two Videos) · · Score: 1

    I said they should not sell as (fixed) stacks, meaning you just tell the auction house how many units you want.

  4. Re:Auction House on The State of the Diablo 3 Beta (Two Videos) · · Score: 0

    I don't mind add-ons, but if one is REQUIRED to fix a FLAW in the game, the game needs to be fixed, period.

    Give me an example where going with stacks at the auction house makes any sense, let alone sorting prices per stacks (which is the price for the stack, not the price per unit).

    The fact that they seem to have fixed that in Diablo III only proves my point.

    Real life is limited by manufacturing costs, shipping and other factors. WoW is only a game.

  6. Re:Auction House on The State of the Diablo 3 Beta (Two Videos) · · Score: 1

    So what? Just enter "56" for the quantity you want to buy. I never said that buying should be limited to one unit at a time, that would be insane.

  7. Re:Auction House on The State of the Diablo 3 Beta (Two Videos) · · Score: 0

    So that part of the game is so utterly broken and hopeless that you need an external program to actually fix it? That makes sense to you?

    For a company the size of Blizzard, and the insane profits they make, they could afford to fix such a major flaw. Even the auction house in Final Fantasy XI was a bit better than WoW in that single/stack aspect.

  8. Auction House on The State of the Diablo 3 Beta (Two Videos) · · Score: 2

    I hope they don't repeat the same stupid useless feature of World of Warcraft's auction house: stacks.

    Why stacks are completely pointless:
    - People list dozens if not hundreds of 1-item listings in order to bury others who sell by stacks.
    - Sorting by price means you're sorting by stack price, which is pointless. Sorting by price should be based on the price per unit.
    - Selling items should never "stack". You have 56 items for sale, that's all there is to it.
    - If I want to only buy 8 units and you've got the lowest price per unit, then I buy 8 of those 56 units that you have for sale.
    - If people are selling at the same price as you, then items listed earlier have precedence.

    Whoever thought using stacks in the auction house was a good idea never actually used it.

  12. Re:The extraordinary conclusions? Only one move! on Rybka Solves the King's Gambit Chess Opening · · Score: 1

    It doesn't seem to apply to english, however.

  13. Cubes? on Self-Sculpting "Sand" Can Allow Spontaneous Formation of Tools · · Score: 2

    Is cube the best shape to use as far as manufacturing and self-assembly goes?

    They talk more or less about re-using blocs by dropping them into a box, but cubes never pack up neatly, no matter which size they are. Is there a geometric shape that stacks automatically in 3D?

    Also, I don't get why they keep writing "10mm" instead of just "1cm".

  14. Re:Murder Weapon on Self-Sculpting "Sand" Can Allow Spontaneous Formation of Tools · · Score: 1

    If there ever was a line to show how stupid "X is for people who have something to hide. What are you, a criminal?" is, this is it.

    All of these display a black area with the message "This video is currently unavailable".

    I could sit here all day long and give you a list of hundreds videos that give the same error message, these are not hand-picked videos, this problem is on nearly 50% of the videos on YouTube.

    And I never had a single problem on Vimeo.

    Ever tried to actually use YouTube with HTML5 only? Half the videos (those with ads) won't work.

  22. Re:Time to celebrate... on Adobe Releases Last Linux Version of Flash Player · · Score: 1

    If someone is still using Flash in 2012 to deliver videos on the Web, they're probably encoding into H.264, which is supported by HTML5. It doesn't matter what fairytale stories you read about WebM, H.264 won the fight before it even began, it's used everywhere in the production chain and in commercial products for the last five years or so.

    Windows, OS X, iOS and Android can all play H.264, most probably hardware-accelerated on top of that. It's not my fault if Firefox developers and Opera can't get their head around the concept of calling OS APIs to play the video.
