  1. Re:Punchline: on The Problems With Porting Games · · Score: 1

    And we haven't heard anything about them since they were bought by Intel a couple of years ago.

  2. Re:SC2 will require internet to install on StarCraft II Single-Player Details Revealed · · Score: 1

    Since you say you think this game is crappy you wouldn't have bought it anyway, so they didn't lose a sale.

  3. Re:That's only 20 Amps at 115V on NASA Developing Nuclear Reactor For Moon and Mars · · Score: 1

    They are talking about a moon base, not a moon colony. In that case most of the food would come from Earth.

  4. Re:HD Youtube link to trailer on Mac, Linux Support For Quake Live, Preview of Rage · · Score: 1

    The original link works fine outside the US.

  5. Re:Because 12'' screens are counterproductive on Is Intel Killing 12-Inch Displays On Netbooks? · · Score: 1

    Not everybody chooses netbooks for their size. I picked mine mainly for the price and battery life. If 12" netbooks were available I would have prefered that to my 10".

  6. Re:When's the Yakuza 3 / Ryo go Gotoku 3 NA relea on Sony Producing New PS3 Hardware, Slim Appears Likely · · Score: 1

    Then you'll be waiting for a long time. With the poor sales of the previous Yakuza games in NA I doubt they'll bother to release this version.

  7. Re:Needs Backwards Compatibility. on Sony Producing New PS3 Hardware, Slim Appears Likely · · Score: 3, Informative

    The only PS3s that have full PS2 BC are the original 20GB and 60GB. Some of the early 80GB versions had partial BC (they had the GPU in hardware but the CPU was emulated in software) but they didn't last long.

  8. Re:Do not want!! on Sony Producing New PS3 Hardware, Slim Appears Likely · · Score: 2, Informative

    Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't coming out on the 360.

  9. Re:so stop using ad blockers on Will Mainstream Media Embrace Adblockers? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm sorry but 2 or 3 animated flash ads are not unobtrusive. They make the page load slowly and take huge resources to run all the flash player instances. Some websites bring low performance machines (like netbooks) to a halt if you don't use adblock.

  10. Re:making progress on KDE 4.3 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'd recommend Pardus, Mandriva or Arch Linux.

  11. Re:making progress on KDE 4.3 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Your problem is not KDE, it's Kubuntu. One of the worst KDE distros I've every tried.

  12. Re:Size on 11.6" Netbooks Face Off · · Score: 1

    Everyone has their own definition. To some it's the price, others the size or the battery life or the lack of an optical drive or a combination of all or some of those things.

  13. Re:4chan on Even More Restriction For German Internet · · Score: 1

    If your country starts World War II, your government gets put on trial and you get your constitution rewritten by outsiders.

    Only if you lose the war.

  14. Re:Windows 7 should be 64 Bit on Windows 7 vs. Windows XP On a Netbook · · Score: 1

    Because you can just go out and grab a $300 netbook with 6GB of RAM, right? Even if you could, not all of the Atom processors support EMT64, though the most-popular ones do.

    You probably meant the most popular ones don't. Only the desktop versions of Atom (230 and 330) support 64bits and those are very rare. The most popular are the N and Z series which you find in most if not all netbooks and UMPCs and those are 32bits only.

  15. Re:Yes, and it's a good thing on Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man · · Score: 1

    Right next to the 'any' key.

  16. Re:How about "Robots Only" on White House Panel Seeks Input On Spaceflight Plans · · Score: 1

    Mars still has an atmosphere.

  17. Re:Please leave the landing sites alone! on Solar-Powered Moon Rover To Explore Apollo Landing · · Score: 1

    What does NASA have to do with this? It's a private team who's building and launching this rover.

  18. Re:No on Solar-Powered Moon Rover To Explore Apollo Landing · · Score: 1

    Yeah except this has nothing to do with NASA.

  19. Re:Video games are an entertainment medium. on What's the Importance of Graphics In Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Good is subjective.

  20. Re:Video games are an entertainment medium. on What's the Importance of Graphics In Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Some people were disappointed in Doom 3 because it didn't turn out to be what they expected, but a lot of people liked it. In fact, Doom 3 is id software's best selling game so that proves that good graphics sell.

  21. Re:Graphics enchance immersion! on What's the Importance of Graphics In Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Well those games you cited (Wolfenstein 3d and Doom) had state of the art graphics when they were released. It's those graphics and "realism" (yeah I thought nothing could ever be more realistic than Wolfenstein 3d when I first played it, what can I say I was young and very impressionable) were very important to the success of the games.

  22. Re:A good combination of a storyline and graphics. on What's the Importance of Graphics In Video Games? · · Score: 1

    It's not the processor that matters in 3d games but the graphics card, and I'm pretty sure your Dell laptop has some crappy Intel integrated graphics chip.

  23. Re:God dammit on Images of Apollo Landing Sites Soon Available · · Score: 1

    What makes you think the deniers will accept pictures as proof? They'll just cry that they are photoshopped.

  24. Re:Disappointing on Blizzard Confirms No LAN Support For Starcraft 2 · · Score: 1

    But that will only apply when you connect to bnet. Once connected it's P2P with your opponent, so if he's on your LAN you get LAN speeds and latencies.

  25. Re:I always maintained blue ray was moot on Blu-ray Adoption Soft, More Still Own HD DVD · · Score: 4, Insightful

    People who have broadband and no caps, have their PC connected to their TV and are generally computer savvy can just download stuff in any format.

    There. Fixed it for you.
