    This is America. If you can't measure up to the standards then we lower the standards so no one's feelings get hurt.

    "Regardless of how Fable 2 will come out, it's being made by Lionhead. I have yet to play a game from them that I did not like."

    Apparently you did not play the original Black and White.

    I guess I needed to add the tags around my comment to convey the true meaning. Thanks for playing though.

    But how will I browse to google.com if I'm not running MS Windows and Internet Explorer?

  6. Re:$265? on Halo 2 Retail Date Broken in Midwest · · Score: 1

    Hey, hey!! Thanks for pointing out the fact that I typed in the incorrect tense of the verb vote and didn't bother to review my post. Perhaps you could occupy some time by creating an account instead of posting as AC.

    Well they've all finished voted for Bush so now they need something to occupy their time.

  8. Re:Crafty buggers on Massive Online ID Fraud Ring Busted · · Score: 1

    "Dubbed Operation Firewall, the Secret Service identified a group of people who stole over 1.7 million credit card numbers as well as a passport-forging facility in Bulgaria."

    In the sentence above, "a group of people" is the direct object of the verb "identified". The phrase "who stole over 1.7 million credit card numbers" is the object complement of the direct object "a group of people". With the inclusion of the phrase "as well as" the author includes a second direct object, "passport-forging facility", to the verb "identified".

    So the sentence correctly states that the US Secret Service identified a group of people and a passport-forging facility.

  9. Is Nokia the mobile Microsoft? on Nokia Admits Multiple Bluetooth Security Holes · · Score: 2, Funny
    From the article: Nokia will not be releasing a fix for the devices in the near future because it said the attacks are limited to "only a few models" and it does not expect them to "happen at large".

    Doesn't seem smart to me. Admit there is a vulnerability then say you aren't going to fix it. I'm surprised they didn't say the "fix" would be released in the next versions of the affected phones and customers would need to upgrade following their easy and costly upgrade path.

    Of course a bulk enterprise license would cover any future upgrades but you would still have to buy a license for each phone call you make with the new phone.

  10. Re:Check out Austin wireless on Wireless APs in Homebrew Coffee Shops? · · Score: 1

    What if you just require a minimum purchase amount for the free use of your wireless internet connection? You could set up a tier program or something. Say 1hr for min $5 purchase, 2hr for $9, etc...

  11. Re:Little late... on The Matrix Trailers, Reloaded and Re-Encoded · · Score: 1

    I think it loses meaning due to the fact that 2/3 of the movies stink.
