  1. Re:translation on Revolution Worldwide Launch Possible · · Score: 1

    I don't know why that would be difficult. PC games are translated in practically no time and the firmware of even the first DS sold in Japan had options for all the languages the European version has.

  2. Re:It boils down to this on Britannica Attacks - Nature Returns Fire · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now all Wikipedia needs to do is to put the words "Don't Panic!" in large, friendly letters on the cover and they are going to completely trash Britannica.

  3. Um, what? on Britannica Attacks - Nature Returns Fire · · Score: 5, Funny

    Did Britain reestablish the Empire, increase their greenhouse gas production and get wiped out by a natural desaster? Are two hacker groups accusing each other? Is this some Ultima fan-fiction? What the hell is this story about?

  4. Re:Tricky Web Page on Download-only Single Becomes UK Number One · · Score: 1

    It's not a bug, it's an option and in any sane browser it can be disabled. F12 -> uncheck "enable sound in Webpages" in case of Opera, for example.

    Space Express 999 or something like that?

    Those wouldn't be the remote-operated kind. I mean, how often do you need to remove the wings and attach them somewhere else?

  7. Re:Security on Super-ATMs Being Rolled Out · · Score: 1

    Not sure if it's in ATMs but I've seen a maintenance worker work with a transfer terminal and when he rebooted it there really was a Windows ME boot logo. At least it explains why the things are so unresponsive. Okay, that was a while ago but the responsiveness hasn't gotten better.

    No, the one who gets the red half dies and is put into a glass coffin.

  9. Re:Security on Super-ATMs Being Rolled Out · · Score: 1

    I don't want a media center running on the latest and greatest OS - with the latest exploits included (free of charge)

    Oh, don't worry about that, they're running Windows ME. I mean, that's tried and tested, right?

  10. Re:Super-ATM? It exists for ages on Super-ATMs Being Rolled Out · · Score: 1

    I had to pay my tuition bill with a cheque (since the university is not willing to pay the transaction fees involved in debit card or bank transfer payments)

    I think there we've got the culprit, transaction fees are usually less than 20 cents, free for some account types and paid by the sender here in Germany. I.e. they wouldn't have to pay anything to receive your money.

  11. Re:Super-ATM? It exists for ages on Super-ATMs Being Rolled Out · · Score: 2, Informative

    Depends on your account, some banks have accounts where you have to pay a few cents for making transactions on these machines.

    BTW, the transaction systems 'round here run on Windows ME.

  12. Re:Literal Identity Theft on Super-ATMs Being Rolled Out · · Score: 1

    Do ATMs really store any of that data on the harddrive?

    Noone coined it before but using long, fancy words to describe mundane situations sounds so much like Sam.

  14. Re:Lemme just say... on Gamespot Previews World of Starcraft · · Score: 1

    I'd bet on a preemptive registration to prevent domain squatters from stealing that address so if they decide to make the game they won't have too deal with those parasites.

    You just like saying "pre-adolescent girlyness" don't you?

  16. Re:Butterfly Island on FORGET DRAGONS! TIME FOR PONIES!!!1! · · Score: 1

    My daughter is about to turn twentysix, and I'm still wasting brain cells remembering about Rainbow Brite and the Sphere of Fucking Light.

    And here I was thinking that it couldn't get worse than tentacle rape...

    Those who have worked with him say that he changes his mind every five minutes and unfortunately tells the press everything he's currently thinking about instead of the things that have been agreed upon already.

  18. Re:Light sabers are not hot on How Hot Would a Light Saber Really Be? · · Score: 1

    You could use that to refill the weapon's energy cells... After all, breaking the strong bonds takes a shitload of energy and there's a limit to what can feasibly fit into such a small device.

    Don't worry, just paddle three miles away from the coast and start lasering. Arrrrrrr!

    It glows, wouldn't that glow feel like heat?

  21. Re:As a DS owner... on PSP Vs. DS One Year Later · · Score: 1

    if you need to play a handheld for more than four/five hours at a time you should just plug it in; youre obviously not outside.

    It's not necessarily one sitting, could be spread out over the day or even longer. Long train trips can leave you without an outlet for hours.

    In other words, they are not allowed to leave the disc spinning.

    A dev from Rockstar told me that leaving it spinning isn't a problem, the spinup drains all the power. Why any game spins it down I don't know.

  23. Re:Think on First HD-DVD Player Goes On Sale · · Score: 1

    And it'll be made in significantly larger numbers (millions as opposed to tens or hundreds of thousands) which reduces the price right there.

    Even if the PS3 won't be sold at loss, this thing has a big profit margin added. The PS3 won't.

  24. Re:It's Not the Innovation That's Being Stifled on Eolas COO Says IE Changes A Shame · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Depends on what you're talking about. Cookies were invented to hold user information, reading that user information instead of asking for it again in order to sell something shouldn't be considered non-obvious in any way. Perhaps the only reason it's not obvious is because everyone else would add a confirmation before a sales contreact is established to prevent accidental orders.

  25. Re:Morrowind feels like GTA to me, yes. on The Oblivion of Western RPGs · · Score: 1

    all the ones I'd tried were Japanese-style "repetitive turn-based strategy games interspersed by some wandering around and a whole lot of cutscenes"

    Might want to try a game like Tales of (Eternia|Phantasia|Symphonia). Realtime combat makes the games much more fun.
