  1. Re:Bad tag on Review: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin · · Score: 1

    You forgot that no matter what you bind your keys to the "E" button always makes you exit the mech and there's no support for more than 3 mouse buttons which is really inexcusable because thumb buttons have been around since before the FIRST one came out.

  2. Re:Oh, that's all right then on Facebook Scrambles To Contain ToS Fallout · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's worse if they decide for some reason, which they will never tell you, to ban you. Your account will still be open and active and no amount of arguing with their support staff will convince them otherwise.

  3. Re:awww poor casinos on Casinos Warn iPhone Card-Counting App is Illegal · · Score: 1

    And then once I was so good that I was banned from every casino I would practice card tricks as well and ask for a job as a dealer.

    I don't care how artistic a game is, make it a movie or give it decent gameplay.

  5. Re:No on Spiraling Skyscraper Farms For a Future Manhattan · · Score: 1

    If we're in magic future land where we can build things like this and we're ignoring why the hell we'd waste time building things like this in said magic future land then we could just use magic future land's version of our current means of piping light around with fiber.

  6. Re:Newer sniper rifle patent on IBM Files Patent For Bullet-Dodging Bionic Armor · · Score: 1

    Soldiers expect to be facing death, even death by horrible torture. There is no training in the world that will withstand the threat of death by being punched in the cock.

    Cunt Punt.

  8. New sniper rifle patent on IBM Files Patent For Bullet-Dodging Bionic Armor · · Score: 2, Funny

    simulates projectiles in a manner which causes the aforementioned bullet-dodging armor to deliver stimulus which directs it's wearer to repeatedly and fatally strike him or herself in the genitals.

    I predict this to be added to the hague conventions in short order.

  9. Re:Violent games stopped me from playing on Study Finds Gamers Prefer Control, Competence Over Violence · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You're an idiot. Not because you dislike violence, but because you're ignoring the reality that killing off civilians really IS the most effective way to stop someone's production capacity and in the eras that AoE2 takes place in (and even AoE3) they actually DID do that. And because if it bothers you that much in age of freaking empires then you're having some serious issues telling the difference between fantasy and reality and I suggest you don't watch your 3 year old son play with his friends just in case you ever forget that cops and robbers isn't REALLY about stealing and murdering people.

    If you don't want to kill people don't play violent games, but don't insult everyone else's intelligence by claiming that the violence is "wrecking" the game.

    Firing a fully charged cannonball at a horde of enemies you've carefully lined up and leaving a bloody smear along the ground with chunks flying all over the place

  11. Re:Deer repellent/hot pepper spray (capsaicin) on How To Keep Rats From Eating My Cables? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Did that with our apartment. Between pepper+vinegar (seemed to work better than water) and boric acid we only get the occasional flying pest and spider and we're a ground floor apartment in central florida.

  12. Re:Deer repellent/hot pepper spray (capsaicin) on How To Keep Rats From Eating My Cables? · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was going to suggest. Just spray the whole damn thing through and put warnings saying it's coated in mace/pepperspray.

  13. What about on The Tech Behind Preventing Airplane Bird Strikes · · Score: 1

    just putting some titanium chicken wire over the front of the intake so that a bird can't get in?

  14. Re:I can't wait on Nvidia Is Trying To Make an x86 Chip · · Score: 1

    Yeah afaik the problem with Foxconn's always been leaky caps, have they finally managed to switch over to solid state or are they STILL using electrolytics?

  15. Re:Financial transactions aside... on Sacrificing Accuracy For Speed and Efficiency In Processors · · Score: 1

    Given the current state of difficulty settings and boss AI I'm not entirely sure players would notice the difference.

    Who in the US CAN'T score a sweet deal on corsair power supplies off of newegg? I don't think I've ever seen them without a sale or rebate going.

    Offtopic: Isn't foxconn also the current mobo supplier for macs?

  17. Re:I can't wait on Nvidia Is Trying To Make an x86 Chip · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nope. Foxconn easily is worse than MSI, and the worst by far is a group of power supply names behind Allied and Ultra (Deer is one of them).

    You could also just watch when I leave. Either way this is what german shepherds are for.

  19. Tell me again on Privacy Group Calls Google Latitude a Real 'Danger' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How someone knowing where I am is particularly dangerous for me if I'm not in the witness protection program? If they're going to do anything worse than a drive-by waterballoon then chances are they wouldn't bother with latitude and just WATCH ME.

    We've all said it before: obscurity is not security.

  20. Here's how it works on Charter Cable Capping Usage Nationwide This Month · · Score: 1

    I ignore that I pay for a 3mbit connection and don't complain that I am lucky to get 1.5mbit once in a while because in exchange for my tolerating poor quality of service you provide an unlimited quantity of that service.

    If I'm going to get a hard bandwidth cap I damn well want a built-in adblocker and guarantee of a minimum speed.

  21. Re:The opposite of what the EULA was invented for. on Will the FTC Target EULAs Next? · · Score: 1

    Even if congress somehow actually improved the situation rather than just making it worse I doubt most companies would care given that many of them already make so much money they can literally afford to break the law.

  22. Re:The opposite of what the EULA was invented for. on Will the FTC Target EULAs Next? · · Score: 1

    Either way i'd still like to see an end to the "If someone breaks into your house you must delete all of this stuff within 24hrs" levels of BS we see in EULAs.

    Some that people keep missing:

    1. Massive viewsway, no option to remove it.
    2. The oh so special "fire" doesn't light anything up
    3. Ass-odd FOV like hl2's singleplayer that makes many people very motion-sick (hint: there's a reason hl2 multiplayer games have an fov of 90 instead of 75).
    4. Yet another chop-it-off approach to widescreen
