  1. Re:Offtopic tag rant on Google Profiling Social Network Users · · Score: 1

    "story" is a system tag, its added automatically and probably used to further categorize information in the database.

  2. No need to ask on LHC Success! · · Score: 1

    Yes, it runs Linux.

  3. Hurray! on Classic Shooters Heretic and Hexen Released Under GPL · · Score: -1, Troll

    Mr. Buzz Kill, is that you?

  6. Re:Well then... on Miyamoto 'Banned' From Talking About Hobbies · · Score: 1

    Ah, gotcha. That makes a little bit more sense, because regardless of how well you may know the developer, the rest of the population has no idea nor do they care who made it as long as its fun.

    Curious why my previous post was modded troll? I love the games he makes, and practically all Mario games. You still can't deny almost every single game he comes up with stars Mario in some form or another.

    Seriously, how many people, honestly, could make games as popular as his, on these subject matters. The key factor is the creator, not the theme, I suspect.

  8. Re:Well then... on Miyamoto 'Banned' From Talking About Hobbies · · Score: 0, Troll

    Most casual gamers have no idea who the hell Miamoto is, I can assure you if the game is popular.. it isn't because Miamoto visioned it, its because the games he envision star Mario.

  9. How Convenient. on "Clear" Laptop Found, In the Same Locked Office · · Score: 1

    They catch bad press and all of a sudden the laptop just.. turns up in the same room it was lost? Please.

  10. Wow, just seems like it was yesterday... on "Clear" Air-Travel Pass Data Stolen From SFO · · Score: 1

    ..that something similar happened, and yet again these companies get off with a "my bad" letter.

  11. Hurray! on NASA Announces Water Found On Mars · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Now what?

  12. I bet this will be fixed.. on Dual Boot Not Trusted, Rejected By Vista SP1 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ..in Mojave.

  13. 2 player pong? on Two-Player Pong Homebrew Arrives On PS3 · · Score: 1

    As apposed to what? 1 player pong?

  14. Solution.. on Did E3 Just Gasp Its Last Breath? · · Score: 1

    ..just make it the way it was. Nothing wrong with booth babes, plus, it'll attract more people and get more coverage. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  15. Um.. on SCO's Lawsuit Gets Even Crazier · · Score: 1

    ..SCO is still around? Good God.

  16. Pure Marketing on World's First 2GB Graphics Card Is Here · · Score: 1

    Whats the point of a 2GB 4850? 4870X2 sure, but a single 4850? Marketing at its best.

  17. Re:Totally Boss! on Yahoo's Build Your Own Search Service · · Score: 1

    Clicking "Advanced Search" is a pain?

  18. Re:The Ends Justify the Means on Hans Reiser Leads Police To Nina's Body · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He did some odd things after the murder that didn't really help his case, and its now obvious why he did those things. The lesson isn't what you said, its this: don't murder your wife.

  19. Re:Another day, another data leak. on German Survey Company Loses 41,000 Survey Records · · Score: 1

    A large fine might help a bit with their security practices and prevent some of these incidents. Sure, there will still be accidents like these, but they may be further apart and less severe. Its pretty common to read about some employee losing a laptop, or tape drives containing large amounts of private information.

    If they had stricter policies about data leaving the compound, or at least encrypting whatever media its on, a lot of this stuff could be avoided. There is no reason for companies to take this too seriously since they can just say "my bad" and its business as usual again.

    Imagine if the company had to pay a fine of $5,000 or more, per customer involved in the data loss. My guess is they would be a bit more careful.

  20. Another day, another data leak. on German Survey Company Loses 41,000 Survey Records · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When are these companies going to start getting fined for data leaks? I'd bet this sort of thing would be a lot less common if there was a huge price to pay, other than a useless apology note.

  21. Re:First Post on In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped · · Score: 4, Funny

    It must be this guy.

  22. Re:Log information, find out who they are. on Best Way To Get Back a Stolen Computer? · · Score: 1

    Possibly, but if he/she can find out the thief's name and address he can go to the police/FBI with that. I'm sure if he tells the police that he knows where the stolen hardware is, they may be a little more helpful.

  23. Re:M$ IS TEH CANCER on Staying Current In a Small Office Environment? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  25. Yeah because I want TWO.. on Details for Guitar Hero 4 Released · · Score: 1

    ..of these big ass plastic drum sets sitting in my living room. I really hope the makers of Rock Band find a way to make use of GH4's drum set (or vise versa). I just can't picture two of these things taking up space, and I'm sure as hell too lazy to drag it out from a closet every time I feel like banging away on a fake drum set.
