  1. Re:This from Gabe Newell? on Do Video Games Cost Too Much? · · Score: 1

    I think the fact that valve sells games at MSRP has to do with the fact that they don't want to price compete with the retailers.... they do still want to sell their valve games in the big box stores. And occasionally they do have really good sales... where else could I have got Bioshock for 5 bucks?

  2. Re:Computer Operations in Ohio on Tech's 10 Worst Entry-Level Jobs · · Score: 1

    I'm a software engineer in Columbus, OH and I'm posting this on my lunch break. There are plenty of tech jobs out there, you just have to know where to look. I wholeheartedly agree with this. Columbus and Ohio in general are short on true "tech" companies, but there are plenty of big regular corps looking for skilled developers and tech people in general.

    Some more options to add to your list:
  3. Re:GNU license? on 3D Self-Replicating Printer to be Released Under GNU License · · Score: 1

    Presumably there is some software behind the scenes running the machine. Perhaps that is what the article is referring to.

  4. Re:That last guy on Space Invaders on Have You Hit a Gaming Wall? · · Score: 1

    Yea, My brother always got it for me.

  5. Re:An Important Lesson on Sims the New Dolls? · · Score: 1

    It sounds more like off-campus student housing to me.

  6. Re:Bring back the Saturn rockets! on Lockheed Martin unveils Space Shuttle replacement · · Score: 1

    The blueprints for the Saturn V were not destroyed it is merely infeasable to build a 40 year old rocket design out of what we have availible today in terms of parts. A better article on the subject: http://www.space.com/news/spacehistory/saturn_five _000313.html

  7. Re:Welcome to the disposable age on Short Lifetimes of Optical Drives? · · Score: 1

    You must be doing something horrible with your hardware then. I've had 3 computers and along with 4 store bought hard drives that have all ran in excess of one year. (My four year old dell is still running with the original hard drive) The worst case i've had is my linksys router lasted only a year, but that was probably because it spent its time directly behind my computer's exhast.

  8. Re:Sigh... on 8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK · · Score: 2, Informative

    Britain has a population density roughly 8 times higher than the U.S. and only half that of South Korea.

  9. Re:I can think of another one... on A Liquid That Turns Solid When Heated · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ice only turns into a solid when heated in Soviet Russia
