  1. Re:Clear violation of first amendment? on Bill Could Restrict Freedom of the Press · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'd rather have a few sunk ships than restrictions placed on my freedom...

    It's not a "lesser of two evils" issue, because any evil is too much. It's a "Freedom is good, this bill is evil" issue.

    I was talking about "candy bar"

    Actually, it's not an "American" thing, it's a cell phone company thing.

    That's just an common industry term.

    You prove you are a troll.

    Thank you for your time.

    Rental "companies"? My cousin owns the local movie rental place and they're no Blockbuster.

    So, if you actually knew what you were talking about that would be one thing.. but you're a fucking moron.

  6. Re:Unlucky! on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    I've been on Spirestone since it opened... it was a low pop server until Blizzard allowed transfers from a medium pop server. Now, because of the character creation stuff, my "low" pop server has a queue on it.

    It really sucks.

  7. Re:You think it's bad *now* on College Student Receives Email of the Lost · · Score: 1

    It's funny, I don't get much spam on my email address..

    although gMail's filters are pretty good.. and this actually forwards all the mail that gets past the spam filter to my adelphia email address that has it's own spam filter.. and that forwards back to a gmail account that is checked with a program that runs an updates spam filter..

    But, yeah... sexwithanimals@gmail.com is where all my email ends up, and while I do get some odd spam, it's no more than 5 unwanted messages a day.

    You're either a very stupid person, or a very smart troll.

    Does renting effect a publisher's income?

    "OMG BAN RENT ROFL!"

    Does PPV?

    "OMG BAN PPV ROFL!"

    Actually, if you weren't such a bleeding moron, you'd see that renting and PPV actually help out.

    I never expected to like Harry Potter, seeing as how I dislike children. Well, after watching it on PPV with my cousin, I've seen and plan on seeing all of them when they come out and buying the collectors edition.

    Same with LOTR.

    Noob.

  9. Re:No on The Current State of the Games Industry · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think that if done right, consumers would love a sequel. Diablo II, for example. A sequel that we all would enjoy is Starcraft 2.

    Like I said, if you make a great game it doesn't matter if it's a sequel or not.

  10. Re:For those of you just joining us on NBC To Live Stream Olympics Event · · Score: 1

    But the replies to the story pretty much prove that 15k is WAY too low of a guess.

    It works out to 15 streams per server (or somewhere around there).

  12. Re:Up-side-down People! on MPAA Files Lawsuits Targeting Major Torrent Sites · · Score: 1

    Actually, most people now think the RIAA/MPAA are GOVERNMENT AGENCIES!

    And the **AA's encourage that.

    People say things like "I hope the RIAA doesn't arrest me!" or "I don't want the MPAA to bust in and take my computer!"

    I bet the AA's love this crap.

  13. Suckers? on iTunes, One Billion Suckers Served? · · Score: 1

    Burn to CD using iTunes.
    Rip CD using any program that can do it to any format you want.

    You can now play the songs with any player that supports your format of choice.

    What's the issue here?

    "But I shouldn't have to!"

    Of course you shouldn't HAVE to. I shouldn't HAVE to find a no CD crack for a game I PAID for because the Copy Protection blows.

  14. Re:Didn't Understand the Hype on iPod Takes Japan by Storm · · Score: 1

    I've had a 4g since they were released, actually dumb luck got me one on THE day the first ones came in.. and the only problems I've had were because I was using outdated firmware.

    My 5g had the 1.1 video skipping issue, but I downgraded and it works fine. And that's a software issue, not hardware.

    I've dropped my 4g 5-6 times from eye level to hard tile floor while walking and it never had any problems related to physical damage..

    In my opinion, it's a sturdy well built thing.. and except for it looking like I keep it in my dryer with a steel wool pad, it's as good as new.

  15. Re:Might be useful for bikers on Flexible Body Armor · · Score: 1

    If you take Driver's Ed you're told what to do in certain situations.

    You can take a Defencive Driving course to learn a lot about keeping yourself and the drivers around you safe.

    Rule #1 is don't act like that Civic driver. Before you start changing lanes, make sure you won't hit anything.

  16. Re:Response to 9 Lessons on Lessons GMs Can Learn from World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Actually, it is. "Greifing" is against the ToU. And I'm on Spirestone (PvP).

    Anyone doing anything over and over to make your gameplay any less enjoyable is a reportable offence.

  17. Here's the deal. on Google Targeted By Anti-Censorship Movement · · Score: 1

    Google's "censorship" is only for the correct spellings of the banned words. Just like the DMCA filtering. Google links to a site that has the links they can't show you.

    Would you rather have google there, offering their search but blocking a small amount of stuff, or no Google and no access to anything?

    There should be no evil, but when there is, take the lesser of two.

    Corpse Camping is against the ToU, and if you report the guy doing it the GMs will take care of the problem.

    Wow, I watched that video.. and the Honda just locked up his brakes for no good reason.

  22. Re:Uwe Boll sucks on Uwe Boll Smash! · · Score: 1

    He said in an interview that he makes movies just like games. Action, explosions, and action. Which is why they fail.

    He'll go through entire teams of writers until they take his crappy advice on the script. There's a site about his firing of the writing team from House of the Dead and how he treated them floating around somewhere, check it out.

  23. Re:Looks fishy to me. on A Look Inside Newegg · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When you place your order, they say "If your billing and shipping addresses are different, there may be delays to your order." meaning that when you MOVE you need to let your BANK know so they can update that.
    If you don't, shit like that happens when people do their jobs correctly at places like NewEgg.

  24. Re:Batteries on MacBook Pros Upgraded and Shipped · · Score: 1

    My Inspiron 4150 with a new battery lasts almost 3.5 hours with wireless on, streaming music, and browsing the web/using chat programs. The Mac Book Pro does more than scale the processor clock down, it disables a full core. Nice try, but you forgot the "It takes me x to transfer a 17 meg file using my apple product" comment.
