  1. tl;dr on White House Supports Claim Putin Directed US Election Hack (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    There has been no specific evidence shared publicly to confirm Mr Putin's role or knowledge of the hackings.

  2. "Driverless car went down a one way the wrong way," he wrote. "Driver had to turn car around."

    If the car has a driver, how is the car driverless? Fucking morons.

    FBI Investigating Russian Hack Of New York Times Reporters, Others

    FTFA:

    The FBI declined to comment and a spokesperson for The New York Times would not confirm the attacks or the investigation.

    Solid journalism.

  4. Re:hmm on The Changing Face of World of Warcraft · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Perspective I think. Spending 3 years playing four nights a week 6-11 in a computer game, equates to doing the same thing over and over again. Most won't understand the difference between doing MC four nights years ago a week or doing BT or whatever four nights a week now. I recognize the difference, but if you don't play you won't. The person who doesn't recognize the difference is no less of a person than the one who does. Are you a piece of shit because I drive a Jag and you drive a Hyundai? I would never think so. The flamebaiter seems to.

  5. This will be like SWG? on Lord of the Rings Online Impressions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I understand folks like having backstory and a world to be set in, but doesn't that make the world extremely static? SWG had Jedi dancing with Darth Vader set in the middle of EMpire Strikes Back. Kind of made the world/universe and story a joke.

    Wouldn't KOTOR style have been much better, giving the developers free rein over what happens, while being able to use the vast story materials.

    We already know what happens here, and we aren't going to change it. Too much like real life ;P

    Hey that's your first display of understanding.

    I knew I could get through to you, a little bit of understanding can go a long way to make the world a place where different people can co-exist.

  7. Re:one more comment on Low Earth Orbit Junk Yard Nearly Full · · Score: 1

    No, I don't understand. I don't know if it's your explanation, or the lack of correlation or evidence from my life to what you are saying. Perhaps someday that will change. It's possible when you have an open mind.

    Though, I will never take a stand that doesn't allow for the views of others, for any reason. That is always going to be the difference between the two of us. At least my world allows for an alternate view. I am truly sorry that yours doesn't. I do hope you enjoy the view from your world. Sorry that people such as myself are so offensive.

    I am the mud.

    My tower is made out of tinfoil, not ivory.

    So, if I don't change my views, are you going to kill me? Or is it ok for me to go on being the only single person in the world who lives a hypocrisy?

  8. Re:hey teenager on Low Earth Orbit Junk Yard Nearly Full · · Score: 1

    While I appreciate the free therapy and phsycology lesson, I disagreed with you blaming people not involved.

    That's all. I don't need to have faith in humanity to have a sense of justice and a desire to live, or a refusal to die as you would probably look at it.

    I wasn't replying to the original comment, just to yours. I have no opinion on the hope or hopelessness of the human race. They'll succeed or fail of their own will, and I gain nothing worrying about it. My faith is my own, but it does not include berating or blaming others for either my own short sighted failures or the short sighted failures of others.

    I respect your faithful view of hope, I don't share the same view myself, but I'm not hurting you and I think you have every right in the world to that view. I just took issue with indirectly being blamed for the mistakes made, and that apathy by the 'hopeless' was a cause. Obviously I have some type of vested interested either in myself or life. Thanks for the concern otherwise. =)

  9. Re:read the parent on Low Earth Orbit Junk Yard Nearly Full · · Score: 1

    I think I did. My point is that the faithless negatives weren't launching debris into space that could prevent our childrens and even our space exploration.

    It's not like you can quantify the damage of a faithless negative. We just abstain from helping. Life may be better if we participated, but you can't prove it, so to say that is damage is plain false.

    If you do think it's a loss, well people should try to be assholes less. But with a winner can do attitude, I doubt a faithless negative can be considered a loss.

  10. Re:Typical on Low Earth Orbit Junk Yard Nearly Full · · Score: 4, Funny

    Global warming. I burn all my garbage, vote republican and bought a fortress on a mountain.

    The sooner I get rid of you guys the better.

    Killing yourself is never the answer, killing everyone else is a better and less selfish solution.

    So NASA is a bunch of faithless negatives?

  12. Re:Used games are what keeps stores open on Web Retailer Bails on Games Industry, Hard · · Score: 1

    Uh, and who exactly is game quality a priority for?

    Certainly not the millions who buy Madden. Certainly not the publishers selling the drivel. Nor would a game store care, as it's in their best interest (and mine) to sell used games. Only an idiot buys new. If you can't wait a couple months for a games price to go down, you really should find something else to do.

    It's the only way to economically protest the shitware that gets sold as new games.

  13. Why didn't he ask MS for help? on 10 Years of Pushing For Linux — and Giving Up · · Score: 1

    MS is all about interoperability. Especially with Novell. No reason Evolution shouldn't work with exchange. Call your vendors.

  14. This is bullshit on Running Your Electric Meter Backwards · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They don't let you generate power like that. If your meter runs backwards they come change it so it stops doing that. If these people aren't full of shit, it's only a matter of time before NatGrid comes and fixes them real good.

  15. Re:What you mean ... on Games Industry Sees 12 Billion in Sales For 2006 · · Score: 1

    I think the point was that Sony has already shipped to meet demand. That's why PS3s are sitting on store shelves.

    Which is kind of silly, because as of last night there were a plethora of sub $600 PS3's with receipts for sale on ebay. Some for like 500 bucks. Not a bad deal.

  16. Is it going to be easy.. on Windows Home Server Details · · Score: 1

    To convince folks that when they go out and buy a new machine they really need 2?

    Sure, you can get it retail, but the product doesn't seemed designed or targeted at people who would install it themselves.

    I know burning data to DVDs is tough these days, but still, it doesn't seem like an easy sell...

    You fucking retard. South Carolina has a population of 4 million people. Tamil Nadu has 61 million people, with 30k civil servants.

    I'm sure they're very similar IT infrastructures. Really.

    Not to mention a few posts up from your extremely insightful post, the issue is discussed in comparison to the UK's government IT infrastructure/economy.

    Slashdot. News for Nerds, comments for retards.

  19. Been doing it since Windows XP came out... on Vista's EULA Product Activation Worries · · Score: 1

    So you'll be forgotten and ignored soon enough. No one cares.

  20. Untold Legends: The PSP Port? on Final PS3 Launch List Shows 13 Games For America · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Isn't the Untold Legends series a PSP series, which is a clone of CHampions of Norrath for the PS2?

    That's a bit underwhelming. It's too bad that there's 1-3 total new games on that list? I don't know about Gundam or Resistance, so that's why I ask if it's 1-3.

    Hopefully the games come out faster than BR movies.

  23. Re:Load Times? on Games Already Filling Blu-Ray Discs · · Score: 1

    Of course. One of the most important features of any next-gen console is to drasticly increase the load times and lag within the game. As long as it looks good while it's loading.

  24. Re:Definately out of order on Quantum Leaps in RPGs · · Score: 1

    Saying EQ had PvP is a pretty big stretch. PvPers in EQ were the bastard child customers. No regard to balance, how changes in the game would affect PvP servers, and large encounters were tuned to need every race/class so to do any PvE content, you had to be a cross teamer. Rumour has it that all changed with the later Zeks, but Tallon Vallon and Rallos suffered from the problems above. It was fun, but it still couldn't compare to any MUD that had a dedicated playerbase and dev team. I also don't know Realm. I was rather young when SIerra had it's Shadows of Yserbius online version, Realm was before that?
