  1. Re:Postponing an MMO's release to iron out bugs? on Champions Online Delayed Until September · · Score: 1

    WoW was missing the documented feature of the "Hero Class" until the most recent expansion.

  2. Re:Rehash... on Mac Tax, Dell Tax, HP Tax · · Score: 1

    The price on that laptop was already knocked down $400, it started at $2000, so it did include said deal.

  3. Re:CD Boot on Intel CPU Privilege Escalation Exploit · · Score: 1

    I'll reserve my judgement on this until I read more from someone that owns a clue.

    I think you mean powns a clue.

  4. Re:HUH? on UK To Mull High Video Game Taxes — To Fight Knife Crime · · Score: 1

    I in no way disagree with you, but that was not my point. I would like you to name a gun that has a use other than to kill a living being.

  5. Re:HUH? on UK To Mull High Video Game Taxes — To Fight Knife Crime · · Score: 1

    Bad analogy is bad. Knives have a lot of uses besides stabbing living beings. Guns do not have much utility outside of shooting living beings (unless you are Homer Simpson).

  6. Re:Enact the assault sword ban! on Man Robs Convenience Stores With Klingon "Batleth" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If that were the case the baddies would have had more than a box-cutter. If they let people carry, say guns on a plane, even if the hijackers used another passenger as a shield, and put a gun to their head, would another armed passenger try a shot? In a pressurized plane? Maybe the flight that crashed in PA wouldn't have crashed, but I do think weapons on planes would cause more injuries and deaths over time.

  7. Re:"and it will be rolled out free of charge. " on "Live Expansion" Announced for Warhammer Online · · Score: 1

    They're gouging the hell out of casual players. When was the last time they ever added anything for casuals, (read: those who don't have to "clock in" for a raid or arena)

    I haven't been paying attention for the last 14 months, but in the 3 years I played, the only and last one was Dire Maul.

    Also, if you've been playing since release and bought the expansions, you've paid $700 (50 mo x 15 + 50 x 2). Since when was $700 reasonable for a game?

    You can do every quest, instance and raid in the new xpac with 10 or less people. I feel I've gotten more than $700 worth from the game and I have rarely played more than 10 hours per week since the release of BC. I have saved hundreds by not buying console games that I knew I would not play because of WoW. If you are still buying other games, it probably isn't worth that much money.

  8. Re:Not that I condone piracy but on Trojan Hides In Pirated Copies of Apple iWork '09 · · Score: 1

    I have just made an app that can disable crappy techno on all kegen.exe programs. Note: it may disable all of your audio... And send me your credit card numbers.

  9. Re:Not that I condone piracy but on Trojan Hides In Pirated Copies of Apple iWork '09 · · Score: 1

    I've found some mac programs that may have a windows .exe to crack them. Better to infect my windows machine anyway, I'm a pro at cleaning that.

  10. Re:FiveThirtyEight on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    I would say that is not really a worry with the recent Supreme court decision. You will have plenty to cry about, but if the conservatives could not overturn Roe v Wade, I doubt the recent decision will be voided so soon.

  11. What does this mean on Steve Jobs Patents "The Dock" · · Score: 1

    for Rocket Dock?

  12. Re:Today is nice on RIAA Loses $222K Verdict · · Score: 1

    You use jelly?

  13. Re:That's just plain stupid on Has Google Redefined Beta? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Maybe Bush is running Google.

  14. Re:As long... on Windows 7 Trades Email and Photo Apps For Downloadable Ones · · Score: 1

    This has been my experience also. People who are less technical and tied to one computer gravitate toward a client since it can sit on their one machine. Techs who are always moving around want their email from anywhere.

  15. Re:ARR, time to be talkin' like a pirate on Today Is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! · · Score: 3, Funny

    I be thinkin you mean the ARRRRRIAA me matey.

  16. Re:I enjoyed them! on Microsoft To Announce Jerry Seinfeld Ads Cancelled · · Score: 1

    They let people know features of the OS, that it can run things like Microsoft Office and Windows, stuff some non-technical people may not know. The Microsoft ads hardly mentioned technology and gave no real features, unless Microsoft's next OS will turn your machine to cake. I'm not a mac fanboy, although I own one, but I'm a windows admin by trade. I think both have their place and do different things well. I don't use my mac at work (although I have - but mostly for using remote desktop) and I only use windows at home to game.

  17. Re:I enjoyed them! on Microsoft To Announce Jerry Seinfeld Ads Cancelled · · Score: 1

    I did think they were funny, but I was disappointed that they could not be funny AND tell me something about the product. Or at least start some drama by firing shots at apple. I find the I'm a PC and I'm a Mac ads funny and they tell me a little something about Apple's product, even if it is one sided.

  18. Foil on Criminals Remote-Wiping Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    The idea made me curious. I just wrapped my phone (mobile) in a rather large ball of aluminum foil. I then called it. Err... It still rang. I don't have any scientific evidence to say why, how, or all that but it rang. I obviously couldn't answer it.

    No no no, you have it wrong. You are supposed to wear the tin foil hat on YOUR head.

  19. Re:Hmmmm on Blizzard Beefs up World of Warcraft's Recruit-a-Friend · · Score: 1

    You can send the Zebra to any character, so most people would send it to their main, which likely did not level with triple xp.

  20. Re:Not Patriotism... Money on IOC Admits Internet Censorship Deal With China · · Score: 1

    This is America, money IS patriotic.

  21. Re:Yes, you hate George Bush ... on The Ridiculous LexisNexis Search that the Justice Department Used · · Score: 3, Informative

    The massive spending spree, the total ignoring of the constitution, lying to go to war, outing undercover agents (aka treason), just to name a few.

  22. Re:Yes, you hate George Bush ... on The Ridiculous LexisNexis Search that the Justice Department Used · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But the damage he's done will remain for much longer.

    If you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.

    So wait, you installed the illegal software, then called them yourself? Did your boss know that it was not legitimate software?
