  1. Re:That's why you'll be alone tonight... on LiveJournal Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    Oh, whatever. What I'm saying is you get the subdomains for free on Blogger... on LiveJournal you have to pay to get them I'm sure.

  2. This is why I use Blogger.... on LiveJournal Servers Go Down · · Score: 1
    1. Hasn't never gone down due to a "power outage"

    2. Not filled with teenage girls and emo boys. Depsite the fact I like emo...a bit...

    3. OK, so maybe there are teenage girls on Blogger but they don't go "OMFG LYK i GoT kIsSeD bY jOhN tOdAy!!!111"

    4. You get a subdomain, not some crappy /users/nickname/

    5. It can be exported to sites.

    6. It never went throught a temporary phase in which you had to buy a damn "invite code" or one from a fucking friend.

    Also according to Wikipedia:
    As of December 2004, nearly five and a half million accounts had been created, of which approximately 1.4 million had been updated at some point in the last 30 days [1] (http://www.livejournal.com/stats.bml). Of those users who provided their date of birth, the vast majority were in the 15-23 age group. Of those who specified a gender, more than two thirds were female.
  3. Re:Don't bother trying on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Well, I'm a member of HL2Fallout.com, so Gabe pretty informed us first, then it was relayed to a bunch of sites. So I was on the first ones to get it.

  4. Re:Over 10,000 public CCTV cameras in LONDON alone on 1984 Comes To Boston · · Score: 1

    Heh. Oh well. I ride "the T" all the time. Hopefully, these cameras should stop all the murders at some of these stations.

  5. New Blogger Toolbar. on Google Acquires Picasa, Improves Blogging Tools · · Score: 1

    Well like the article title says, it's improve it's Blogging tools, but yet there is no mention of it. I acutally just noticed the update yesterday, becuase the old toolbar wasn't showing becuase I had way too many Windows open. Instead I refreshed and there was the new toolbar. It's pretty strange though that they've already accquired Picasa, when they just started offering the service on Blogger back in May, in a whole diffrent agreement, unless accquiring Picasa was part of it. Hmmm, maybe they might make a part of the Google Image search. Of course, for some reason, I can't access hello!, the Photo IM service that can be used to send photos to my blogs. Unless they're planning on rebranding it as Photoblogger.

  6. Re:How can they accurately measure it? on BitTorrent Beats Kazaa In Traffic Numbers · · Score: 0

    Well, if you look at the bottom of Kazaa Lite K++ or KLR.. it will say how many files are being traded and how many users are on.

  7. I'd rather wait for HL2 on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 0

    I'm still gonna wait for HL2.

  8. Re:What about Polybius? on Rare East German Arcade Game Unearthed · · Score: 0

    Pretty good hypothesis... I also want to find it. Maybe it was real, maybe it wasn't.. who knows... maybe it was some Tetris mod combined with other weird shit.

  9. In Communist Russia.... on Rare East German Arcade Game Unearthed · · Score: -1, Troll

    The games play you! Hmmmmmmmm.... I want to play Hare and Wolf it looks like a widescreen edition of Pac-Man... Also, this pretty intresting, one of games is Ms. Pac-Man... However, it's in a Pac-Man cabinet and the game is called 'Pac-Gal'. Early beta perhaps?

  10. What about Polybius? on Rare East German Arcade Game Unearthed · · Score: 0

    I mean they should have a version of Polybius, becasue Sinnesloschen is German for "sense delete" or "senseless." And the game is called Poly Play.. Well I'm sure the German and Russian came out with good arcade games.

  11. Re:One area Wikipedia seems to lack on Ask Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales About Online Collaboration · · Score: 0

  12. Re:What Star Trek needs on Babylon 5 Creator Pitches Trek · · Score: 0

    Yes. I loved TNG too and TOS, haven't really watched DS9 or Voyager that much though. And I watched maybe the first few episodes of Enterprise then stopped watching. But, hopefully this should do good. But, what I think Star Trek needs is a series set in another galaxy, specifically Andromeda. All of the other series have all taken place in the Milky Way and have pretty much covered it all and in diffrent times. I think what we need is a fresh new galaxy and what better then our cloest cousin Andromeda!! Either that or have a series based on the USS Relativity.

  13. Re:From "The Matrix" on Torrentocracy = RSS + Bit Torrent + Your TV · · Score: 1

    I'm sitting on the floor laughing my ass off... Now I'll be repeating that all day long and tell my friends...

  14. Re:Stunning on Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites) · · Score: 1

    To back my last comment, this is taken from the MSN Hotmail website... You can use your Hotmail or MSN e-mail address and password to sign in to all .NET Passport participating sites and services.

  15. Re:Stunning on Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites) · · Score: 1

    the same goes with MSN... any @msn.com account is pretty much just a @hotmail.com account. I have one myself, and it's full of spam and doesn't have that great big 1000 mb storage like Gmail. However, I sent my friend an invite a few days ago and she recieved it perfectly fine with no missing email. So I'd say I'm lucky. Also, I'd say that MSN and Yahoo! are just afraid of losing customers from their services, which seems weird to me becuase most of them are free and small percentage are paid for or are provided as part of an dial-up or broadband plan.

  16. Re:Question on SpaceShipOne Flight Completed Successfully · · Score: 0

    I agree entirely JabberWokky. It's great to see that something has brought the aerospace industury into spotlight again after almost a year and a half of no activity since Columbia disintegrated. Ironically, the entire project was funded by Paul Allen, and this used just a simple desgin and controls to get into space and not a version of the latest Longhorn beta controlling it. Imagine the humanity that would have happened if it was running Windows, it might have just crashed and burn! Well, maybe not. But still, I find it funny that Microsoft is invovled in spaceships now.
