  1. Re:She did great! on Forbes Now Thinks Carly Saved HP · · Score: 1

    He did include the DL380 specifically, as well as the entire DL line, my anonymous friend. Read his post again.

  2. Re:What a crock... on Games For the 360's Japanese Comeback · · Score: 1

    You see it all over in popular usage, but if you think about it for a minute you see it doesn't really make sense. Your example is more accurately described as a "come from behind" victory.

  3. Re:So let me get this straight... on AP Looks at Piracy, Misses the Point · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, I'm still confused...is this not just an extremely long-winded way to try to assert that people have a fundamental right to break copyright protection?

  4. Re:Thank goodness! on Using Agile Methodologies To Make Games? · · Score: 1

    Well...don't I feel like a nerd!

    Thank goodness!

    Now I can finally use that +20 agility enchant!

    It's also causing random typos! No one is safe!

    Oh noes! I'm caught is a temporal causality loot caused by the black hole in the parent post!

    You might want to check with your sources on that, dude.

  9. Re:For consoles perhaps on Activision's Kotick Discounts Downloadable Games · · Score: 1
    Paper manuals are pretty sweet.

    Of course, manuals worth a crap are few and far between in boxed games these days.

  10. Re:malware safeguards on Details on Refining Vista's User Control · · Score: 1, Funny

    You remind me of one of those creeps on Stormfrot or similar that can turn any news story into a rant about Jews.

  11. Incorrect on Jack Thompson's Game Bill Moves Forward · · Score: 1

    For a game to run afoul of this statute all three provisions must be met, not just one.

    Not in LA. Welcome to God's country!

  13. Re:What the hell do you want?! on 20 Things You Won't Like About Vista · · Score: 1

    What's good for cleaning spewed coffee off a LCD?

  14. Re:Privately Run? on Student Faces Expulsion for Blog Post · · Score: 2, Insightful
    There's also even less constitutional protection. As people so frequently need to be reminded, the First Amendment does not restrict private institutions from restricting free speech within their auspices.

    It would be interesting to see if that changes if a national voucher system is ever put into play, and the federal money starts pouring in.

  15. Re:CDV shit on your head, thank them for the hat on CDV Officially Drops Starforce Copy Protection · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I'm sure "consumer demand" would entail free games and a pony.

    I'll take dropping Starforce, thanks.

  16. Re:Oblig. Terri Schiavo comment. on Drug Found to Aid Vegetative Patients · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They did do a CAT scan in '02 that showed severe cerebral atrophy.

  17. That was fast! on Sony Rootkit Settlement Gets Judge's Approval · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As scandals go, it seems like it took no time at all to go from exposure to out of court settlement. What do people make of that?

  18. Re:Choice... on TiVo from AdZapper to Advertiser's New Best Friend · · Score: 1
    I don't think you understand how this model works. The money you're paying isn't for the production of the entertainment you watching, it's for the delivery. You pay a premium on top of that for HBO and advertising free content.

    Hell, half the cable channels out there pay the cable company to put their channels on the service; they're certainly not making money from your cable bill.

  19. It's quite simple... on People Suck at Spotting Phishing · · Score: 5, Funny

    Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

  20. Re:What is he talking about? on Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry...did you just say Linux is superior to Windows for finding and managing dependencies? ... Are you high?

  21. Re:He's sorta right, but mostly off target on Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? · · Score: 1

    Let's see...acerbic personality...can't seem to help without insulting the other person's intelligence... Are you a Linux user?

  22. Dupe? on Korea Unveils World's Second Android · · Score: 1

    Is this a dupe, or did it just take a while to make /.? I know I've seen this already, pics and all.

  23. Re:Does anyone know the background? on More Oblivion Re-Rating Fallout · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My understanding is it's the male bare chested texture laid on the female mesh.

  24. Re:No no no - wrong conclusion on Financials Indicate Microsoft Prepping for War · · Score: 1

    Not a wrong conclusion at all...merely a premature one.

  25. Re:They need to be listed as a Service. on On World of Warcraft's Network Issues · · Score: 2, Informative

    IIRC, they did exactly this 1-2 months after launch. A couple of weeks later, they declared their problems solved.
