  1. Re:Another game another bug on AoC Bug Penalizes Female Characters? · · Score: 2

    This might because AoC was touted as "the" WoW killer and has been a)buggy and b) disappointing. Personally i was wholly disappointed and the unpolished feel from issues such as the one mentioned certainly didn't help.

  2. Re:People don't learn from history on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 1

    Cite examples of how Hillary would be more effective as a Vice President than as a Senator.

  3. Re:Indeed, Scientific Zealotry Hurts the Cause ... on Ben Stein's 'Expelled' - Evolution, Academia and Conformity · · Score: 1

    It is more complex that being persecuted for believing ID, but wikipedia has an okay version of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternberg_peer_review_controversy

  4. Re:Lied to congress...? on FBI Lied To Support Need For PATRIOT Act Expansion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think you can still technically get a ticket for jaywalking...

  5. Or better yet on Proposed CA Bill Would Create Domestic Offender Database · · Score: 2, Interesting

    'If you're online, Googling and looking for information on someone you met in a bar or on MySpace, this would provide a tool for people to go and look to see if someone who is suspicious and a little creepy has a history of violence.' You could act like an adult, make an informed decision based on the information you have, and its a done deal. No legislation required to prevent bad things from happening to stupid people!
  6. Re:Encryption... on AT&T's Plan to Play Internet Cop · · Score: 1

    You missed the point of his, which obvously wasn't a technical solution. Instead it was the assumption that people will find a way, as they always have, as they always will.

  7. Re:Fuck you America on Interview With Pirate Party Leader Rick Falkvinge · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think you pasted the wrong troll rant. This is a copyright article, so you use the one about owning a family friendly record store. Use the anti-America one for YRO and politics.

  8. Re:By that logic.... on McDonald's UK CEO Blames Video Games for Childhood Obesity · · Score: 1

    540 Calories. Not that makes it ok, nor negates your point any. Now add French Fries 570(LG Fry), and a large Coke , 310, and then you're well over 1000. Throw in a deluxe breakfast(1200) and you're at your calories for the day (2000-2500). Source: http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.index1.html

  9. Re:I've been using FF for quite a while now. on Firefox Struggling to Compete as Corporate Browser · · Score: 1

    Repeat after me, "I am not a corporate end-user". Good. Now, here is the thing. If something goes wrong users are going to call the help desk. They are not going to tinker. They are not going to google. They are not going to go to support forums. It isn't their job, and it isn't what they're told to do either. I'm glad you use FF, and personally I think its a great app, but as far as deploying, managing, and supprting it in an enterprise environment, it isn't quite there yet.

  10. Re:Paying the Rant! on Will ISP Web Content Filtering Continue To Grow? · · Score: 1

    I bet when he's not hating on Americans he's running a down and out family music store...

  11. Re:The Third Age of Video Games!? on Sony's Phil Harrison To Give GDC Speech · · Score: 1

    Maybe he means it differently than "third generation".

    Maybe he means:

    First Age: 2D, Blocky
    Second Age: 3D, Whatever
    Third Age: Whatever he makes up in his speech.

  12. My Mistake on Universal Wants a Slice of Apple's iPod Pie · · Score: 1

    I thought UMG was included in the 2004 deal, but according to Wikipedia its wholly owned by Vivendi still. Damn French.

  13. Re:ah the french on Universal Wants a Slice of Apple's iPod Pie · · Score: 1

    GE owns 80% of NBC Universal, while Vivendi owns less than 20%. Not sure this is the French doing something stupid(alone atleast).

  14. Re:Movie wasn't that great on HBO's Hacking Democracy Available Online · · Score: 1

    What is more important is that despite the fact that she is probably annoying as all hell in real life, she is a NORMAL AVERAGE American. She was just a run of the mill average joe, and she's concerned. That's a good thing, because it may indicate a change where people are getting fed up and taking notice.

  15. Re:What "launch window titles" really means on PS3 Details From Sony Game Day · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that the controller cables on the dualshock weren't made from technology that was known to lose its ability to hold a charge over time, so i don't think this particular comparison works. But otherwise, carry on.

  16. Re:Slightly OT: Yellow Dog Linux for PS3? on PS3 Details From Sony Game Day · · Score: 1
    Thats because it was posted on Monday Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 for PS3 Announced

    On a side note, OMG Zonk didn't post a dupe.

  17. Re:SeventhStar needs a dictionary on Next-Gen Console Exclusives Explored · · Score: 1

    You make a good point, as of right now the PS3 has 0 games, and 0 of them are exclusive. You've got a good head on your shoulders.

  18. Re:Why Not a Giant Padlock on DVDs w/ Built in USB Ports for Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Do you think thats unobtrusive enough? I mean how could having to plug and unplug your discs into usb slots possibly be comparably restrictive? BTW, there is about a zero percent chance of me buying or keeping any products that use this crap. Thanks for trying though.

  19. Re:We're buying "potential" on PS3 Problems Cause Sony Stocks to Slide · · Score: 1

    When they hit rock bottom and start digging?

  20. Competition from Virtual Console(?) and Arcade on The Manifesto on the Evils of GameTap · · Score: 1

    Would someone whose sole business is the rental of old video games start to see increased competition from services like Nintendo's Virtual console and microsofts arcade? Seems t me that these would be a far bigger risk to revenue for Gametap than anything, as its direct competition from people who hold more more cards in this game. Just a thought...

  21. Re:Rumble defeats tilt sensing? on PS3's Lack of Rumble May Disappoint · · Score: 1

    But wouldn't the rumbling actually add to the experience of the game? If some giant monster on screen is walking toward me and the pack rumbles to reflect this, wouldn't i in theory be less stable on the ground within the game? The thus rumbling affecting the gyros is actually producing the realist effect of being unstable.

  22. Re:Article raises a good point on Consumer Electronics Causing 'Death of Childhood'? · · Score: 1

    The television has been in homes for 50 years. TVs started becoming common in homes in the US in the 1950s, so there has certainly been enough time to see if any changes have ttaken place(and they have).

  23. Re:Free credit monitoring on Chase Data for 2.6 Million Ends up in Landfill · · Score: 3, Informative

    As i recall you're allowed 1 free credit report a year every year anyway. Wasn't there a piece of legislation passed that said that?

  24. Re:Old Idea on Wi-Fi Fingerprints -- the End of MAC Spoofing? · · Score: 2, Funny

    1) Take old idea
    2) Apply to new technology
    3) Patent (Optional)
    4) Profit!

    Sheesh, aren't even any unknowns in this one. Where are you confused?

  25. Re:FWIW on $600 PS3 Ships Without HDMI Cable · · Score: 1

    The Super Nintendo shipped with both an RF switch and a composite cable.
