  1. Re:This should change on New Xeon CPU Hot and Underpowered · · Score: 1

    Rate != latency. And with latency, the less the better.

  2. Re:Nuclear Power on UK's Chief Scientist Backs Nuclear Power Revival · · Score: 1

    There are currently no good ways to store that power, so it's a wash.

    Not necessarily.

    In older Epic games he was called Cliff. Cliffy sounds like an MS Office mascot.

  5. Re:Pretty Impressive in Europe on PSP Hits 10 Million Units · · Score: 1

    That's shipped. Sure, it's still impressive that retailers bought that many of 'em but most of them are probably lying around in a warehouse or a shop noone cares about.

  6. Re:Let me know when the price cut hits on PSP Hits 10 Million Units · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a bad idea. GTA will most likely update your firmware to a version that won't run homebrew. Sure, there might be another exploit in there but better don't buy before you have confirmed homebrew compatibility. Or is GTA enough to keep you happy?

    Allowed? Yes. Able to? Since he didn't use it I doubt the Firmware is up to date.

    Except they aren't, the last leak is at most a month old.

  9. Re:F.E.A.R. on Who's Afraid of Shinra Tower? · · Score: 1

    You should try the Fatal Frame/Project Zero games for some good horror as well. It has that ring-girl as well but the scare comes mostly from the enemies which are invisible most of the time and you only hear them coming. Sure, they become visible before they hit you but to kill them you need to aim at them for quite some time and preferrably hit them just a moment before they hit you. There's a difference between "cut scene" scares that just happen but don't hurt you and actual enemies that are hard to track as part of their attack pattern.

  10. Re:Combo pack on PSP Hits 10 Million Units · · Score: 1

    There is an official Tamagochi game for the DS, the sad part is it actually sells pretty well in Japan.

    If that really was a problem you wouldn't see countries implement it successfully.

  13. Re:Freedom does not mean lack of accountability on Hidden Codes in Printers Cracked · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you but I always considered "far left" to be communism. Liberalism is more slanted to the right, nationalism. Generally the left cares more about the poor and the right cares more about the rich.

  14. Re:What I'd REALLY like to know on IGN Talks Games Industry Salaries · · Score: 1

    In most companies you'll work average (40-50?) hours for years and those 60-80 hours only happen towards the end, for a few weeks. If they're constantly doing overtime you should quit immediately and search for a better employer because there are enough of 'em. Some teams even avoid crunch time completely but that's rare. Fortunately, teams that do crunch time for many months or even years are rare, too. That's because it's not sustainable and working like that for prolonged periods (more than one or two weeks, IIRC) reduces your productivity.

  15. Re:And that $60k goes a long way... on IGN Talks Games Industry Salaries · · Score: 1

    No, that'd be because a veteran will stand up and tell the guy who ordered him to work 80 hours a week to go fornicate himself.

  16. Re:Tin foil hat time? on Florida DUI Law and Open Source · · Score: 1

    Well, the gov could insist that the manufacturer sign a declaration that the code released is indeed identical to the code used on the device and that the device may not be used (or admitted in court) if such a declaration hasn't been signed.

  17. Re:Should all government software be open source? on Florida DUI Law and Open Source · · Score: 1

    Ridiculously low?!? Most countries have a limit of zero, .8 permille (I assume your number is percent since other posters said 2-3 beer) is very high.

  18. Re:Guess Jack is learning an important lesson... on Jack Thompson Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    He doesn't think that through. Claiming that a former soldier with an expert rating for M16 accuracy was trained to kill by a videogame he played later clearly shows that Thompson can't have thought even for a second about that. Considering that his complaints about The Sims were "I heard there are genitals in that game" I expect his reseach into violent games to be of comparable quality. You could probably show him a screenshot of GTA 3 and he couldn't identify the game.

  19. Re:Disgusting on Florida DUI Law and Open Source · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking anything over zero is too high a limit because then people start to calculate "did I drink too much yet?". Zero is the only number you can be confident in, anything else is estimation and if people didn't estimate so badly in their favour there'd be many fewer accidents. Someone overestimates his skill and drives over the speed limit, someone underestimates the mass of his car and hits a kid, someone thinks he can handle that weather at full speed and ends dead in the gutter. Most people are bad drivers, even (or especially) those who say they are good ones and can handle their car just fine and it's the others who endanger them. It doesn't matter if it's you or that other guy causing the accident, if you could have prevented it (by driving slower or keeping a greater distance or whathaveyou) why didn't you do so?

  21. Re:Sexual Assault??! on CA Officials Respond To Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Not all of them. Some are takes on various genres. There's the Battle Raper series (apparently a big seller, a crappy fighting game) and on SA they reviewed a hentai shmup. I'm sure there are alot more, I didn't really research that.

    That's what happens when the manufacturer cannot rely on the money from licensees (i.e. game developers) like Nintendo or Sony do to keep the price low.

    Copyright only applies to the exact "wording", if you look at how it's done and implement that yourself they'd need a patent to stop you.
