  1. Re:Eat your heart out on Jeff & Rob Visit Lucasfilm · · Score: 1

    and Sarah - you know exactly what for!

    Oh now I'm intrigued. If she had blue hair then this must have been Steve Jobs' house. I hear it has an iPod with a penny-sized 1TB SSD, and a unique Mac OS X that he can install out of the box on a standard PC. And topless dancers with blue hair. Blue hair!

    you idiot, you only hear the difference if you play the flac in a video tag (but NOT in ie9 because microsoft sucks and itll sound like an atari). HTML% FTW

  4. Trying not to step on Facebook's legal toes? on Twitter Discards Client UI Community · · Score: 1

    Says Sarver:

    For example, some developers display “comment”, “like”, or other terms with tweets instead of “follow, favorite, retweet, reply” - thus changing the core functions of a tweet.

    So clearly one of their fears, perhaps for legal reasons, is getting their functions and widgets confused with, say, Facebook's. We all know how often YouTube and Facebook get mentioned in the same breath as Twitter (heed the great prophet Conan) but they are very much separate companies, and if there's even a chance they're stepping on Facebook's or any other's proprietaryGoodness(TM)* with software patents, DMCA, ACTA and such then I'm not sure twttr will want to take it. It also makes me wonder if Amazon.com asked Facebook before they made their own liker.

    It all reminds me of, among other things, part of the Games for Windows Technical Requirements, a piece of terminology:

    Vibration Gameplay feedback produced by the controller motor. Do not use rumble.

    I definitely would not want to step on Nintendo's toes like that.** Last thing I want Mario to do is wear a black suit and hand me a C&D.

    *Forgive me; it's what living in a world with a group called "comScore" does to me.

    **My username aside, maybe.

    Right over there near the emergency Triple Play packages and emergency transfer caps.

  6. Re:What they know about me on What Data Mining Firms Know About You · · Score: 1

    I might not always be completely truthful in filling out web forms!

    Indeed. The truth is that you're actually a blood elf female over the age of consent who just happens to share Bill Gates's email address. Which means you've got a nice set of...ears and I would totally hit that.

    (I've considered opting out of those profile-cookie-things, but some of the demogs they've lumped me in are so horribly wrong, that from what Google et al. tell me opting out would probably bring them closer to knowing the real me. Something like this comment. So, meh.)

  10. Re:Flash? on Microsoft Adds Selective ActiveX Filtering to IE9 · · Score: 5, Informative

    For IE, it is. For others it's a NS plugin thingy. The plugin and control are separate downloads but otherwise work much the same way once installed (except maybe tech details like wmode or IE9 hardware surface support or such).

  11. Re:New on Australia Bans New Mortal Kombat · · Score: 1

    Hell, for at least the last few weeks I seriously forgot there even were games called Mortal Kombat, and I've played (to wildly varying extents) the original, II, like several versions of 3, and 4.

  16. Re:Search Wiki on Google Goes After Content Farms · · Score: 2

    Pretty much; I can't blame them for seeking marketshare, though.

    For a somewhat short while, Google search results each had squares with "X"es in them that would take them off the list when clicked (explained further in this post on BlogsDNA). I kinda wish they stayed so I could nuke the spammier results I find, but we all know downvotes are just as exploitable as raves and I have a feeling this Chrome thing will get used more nefariously than not.

    It's a new reality show where five businessmen live together in the same Beijing apartment and try to impress Hu Jintao (via boring MMO-esque tasks and videophone interviews) with their managerial acumen, all for a chance to stea^Wcreate and direct that country's version of Saturday Night Live and get screwed stupid by an ex-Disney starlet.

  22. Re:I wonder what the reaction will be... on Facebook To Make Facebook Credits Mandatory For Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Facebook doesn't delete your account, it 'deactivates' it.

    You can request to be "permanently deleted with no option for recovery". I had a FB acct but requested a perma-delete in 2009 (inspired by a Slashdot story, but before "dumb fucks"-gate). Two weeks later I got a mail saying that it was re-activated, but I think that was just the staff (or their scripts) logging in to make it final: the emails (school and non-school) I used are "not associated" with an acct as of today, and I couldn't find me in a search by name (a partial list 'cause I wasn't logged in).

    Still, Facebook being a big website, and Facebook being Facebook, their staff probably have an old backup anyway. :)

    I think MicroHP is totally insulting and rude to this low-level player anyway. The right term to use is HP-challenged.
