  1. Re:Recaptcha on Looking To Spammers To Solve Hard AI Problems · · Score: 3, Informative

    You only have to get the word that OCR can recognize right. Just try guessing which of the two words OCR can't recognize and type some random gibberish instead of that word, it will let you through.

    Was it a Mars bar?

  3. Re:What "Skill" Really Means on Dealing With Fairness and Balance In Video Games · · Score: 1

    This is absolutely correct. The vast majority of player skill is based simply on the time put in to practice, nothing else. Top players simply have the work ethic and dedication required to excel. Also, they know how to learn and practice in order to get maximum benefit from it. They don't simply play the game to have fun, they play to improve themselves in the game. This in turn makes the game MORE fun, not less. Most games worth anything become very intricate and complicated at the top level and being able to play at that level is simply more fun. And this is why most handicap systems are bad for a game. If there is no incentive to improve yourself, the game can never reach it's full potential. This is also the reason why fiddling with the rules all the time is bad. If an overpowered strategy develops, it is usually better to wait for the gamers to find solutions to it, advancing the game, rather than just ban it because of the people, who aren't even trying to figure it out, whining.

  4. Re:Multiboxing, I have no sympathy for Blizzard. on Blizzard Wins Major Lawsuit Against Bot Developers · · Score: 1

    What, 1 character dying to 5 characters? Noo, that's unpossible. Multiboxing is not as easy as you make it sound, it doesn't give you any sort of an advantage(you're at a disadvantage controlling 5 characters against 5 characters that are controlled separately) and you are paying 5 subscriptions to do it. Why exactly should it not be allowed?

  5. Re:I mean... on Will Mars be a One-way Trip? · · Score: 1

    Surface gravity != mass.

  6. Re:This'll never win. on Tolkien Trust Sues New Line, May Kill "Hobbit" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lawyers are significantly more evil than the Nazgùl.

  7. Re:Not ready for the mainstream on Free Software FPS Games Compared · · Score: 1

    You're kidding, right?
