  1. Re:How about... on School District Drops 'D' Grades · · Score: 1

    For some reason it appears that my degree at my university is one of few (or the only) that accept a D grade for major courses. The rest of the degrees will not take D grades. I'm computer science, not psych or business (this is at a tech school, tool).

  2. Re:How about... on School District Drops 'D' Grades · · Score: 1

    Yup. It's always the kids that are doing extremely well yet need to ensure, for whatever reason, that they really are getting that A that they're already guaranteed to get. That said, I'm one of those who needs extra credit and totally doesn't do it out of laziness. I will be my own demise.

    That actually sounds like a pretty good place to live.

    DAWS.

  7. Re:Solution... on Tabnapping Scams Around the Corner? · · Score: 1

    If I'm doing research or looking up API, I can easily hit 30-40+ tabs. I'll open a bunch of search results in tabs and then filter them. I keep the best ones open, and then look up the next thing I need to know. Eventually I've got everything I need right there, and it's really easy to switch between them all.

    Because you're being a selfish prick.

  9. Re:Only the engine was released on Penumbra: Overture Goes Open Source · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's the point. Now go do something with the engine. If they released everything, including art assets, then they lose their entire money stream. You download the engine for your own projects, but you still buy the game to play their game. You're just as bad as pirates who expect games to be completely free.

  10. Re:Dear Nintendo, on Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D · · Score: 1

    Yeah, as long as they don't acquire a copy of it in the process, it should be alright. But of course, companies don't like you having legal backups of things you own as it is.

  11. Re:Dear Nintendo, on Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D · · Score: 1

    Or if the game got lost somehow, too. DS cartdridges are tiny and I seem to have lost Mario Kart DS somewhere between my home in Detroit and my apartments and the dorms in Chicago.

  12. Re:Dear Nintendo, on Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D · · Score: 1

    So, buy the real one like you do and instead of ripping it on your own, download the cracked one. I'm not sure if fair use law says you must make your own backup for it to be a vaid backup, but, personally, if I already own a copy or two of the game, I'll pirate the roms for those versions. Especially in cases where it'll cost too much to replace the disc if it's already broken/scratched, but I would really like to finish the game or something.

  14. Re:Using what video drivers? on More Evidence For Steam Games On Linux · · Score: 1

    Why do you assume the custom init scripts are for the drivers? Did I ever say that? No, learn some reading comprehension instead of jumping on points that have no relation. You know how piss easy it is to install nvidia drivers? Open whatever your package manager is, search for nvidia, install. JUST like Windows Update! That's called easy, my friend.

  15. Re:Using what video drivers? on More Evidence For Steam Games On Linux · · Score: 1

    So, what exactly is so eye-ball-pulling-out about nVidia on Linux? I've been doing it for several years and it's one of the EASIEST components of my machine to set up. I dread reformatting only because I have a ton of custom init scripts I would need to track down. Installing and updating the nvidia drivers is piss-easy on any modern distribution, and only mildly less so on older distros.

    I just bought ATT DSL and I got the "up to" 3mbps connection. There was NO bandwidth limit mentioned anywhere.

    but ALL of you go to /b/, some more often than others. You all troll Omegle, and you all have vandalized wikipedia at least once. Every single one of you have gone into chatroulette to flash your dick, and engaged in a flame war with the retards that post on youtube, or spent hours looking at gross things at rotten. Right.

    I did not know that it would keep the CSS intact and still be a fully usable ISO. I have every reason to use this method. I don't care about sharing. I don't need separate files or anything, just the iso. Mount it and play it.

    Valve has stated that should Steam cease to be a distribution platform and go under, they will release a patch to unlock all of the games you have bought and allow you to play them without logging into the dead steam servers. Problem Solved.
