  1. Re:okay, so? on Former Red Octane Staff Prohibited from Music Games · · Score: 0

    I find remuneration to be the best way to retain well trained employees.

  2. Re:Simple! on Despite Aging Design, x86 Still in Charge · · Score: 0

    Well, there's the wankle/rotary engine, but it tends to loose fuel at high revs. That said, if they fix that, there's no reason why you can't retro-fit wankel engines into existing cars. Try stuffing a powerpc chip into an ATX motherboard (hint: might require a mallet)

  3. Wasn't "skipstone" the first tabbed browser? on Mozilla Foundation Sues Microsoft Over Tabbed Browsing · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Not that this story is true anyway

  4. Re:Not realy accurate statement. on How To Request Better ATI Linux Support · · Score: 1

    silly me.. you know.. that thought never occurred to me. Even so.. intel cards do half of their 3D stuff in CPU-land. And the shader language isn't just limited.. it's non-existent. Shit doesn't happen on those half-arsed cards that intel make.

    > They are quite fast enough for 3D desktop

    Are they fuck. Ever tried playing doom on one? hahaha.

  6. And yet again.. on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 1

    Another US-centric "top ten games of all time" which misses out what was happening everywhere else. How can a list like this exist without Elite? Last Ninja? Pole Position? And the "physical" games - Dance Dance Revolution! Could go on all night..

  7. Re:WarCraft vs StarCraft on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 1

    Surely Dune II was based on "Cannon Fodder"? Ok, you only got to control 4 units in cannon fodder, but I doubt Dune II would've arrived without it :-)

  8. Re:Tough sell on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    Yeah.. the continuing trend of sovietisation of all our culture is destroying our heritage. You can't go anywhere now without seeing a drive-thru McKiev "restaurant". Our football teams are all being bought up by russian millionaires! (wait.. that one's true..)

  9. Introducing.. on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    Captain Wales! Fighting evil and supervillians in the valleys!

  10. Slightly OT... on $100k For Kenobi's Cloak · · Score: 1

    A relative died the same week as Alec Guinness, and they happened to be in the same morgue. I saw Alec Guinness's corpse. Does that count as a star spot?

  11. Re:Well, after your government has taken their sha on $100k For Kenobi's Cloak · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sorry, I didn't realise this was a nationalist forum for paranoid fox news watchers.

  12. £54,000, which is about $103,923.... on $100k For Kenobi's Cloak · · Score: 1

    That reminds me.. I should must get a few quid out and book a flight to New York, so I can come over and buy all of your stuff :-)

  13. Re:What do you expect? on Avoiding the Word "Evolution" · · Score: 1

    I was perfectly content in the eternity that existed before I was born, and I imagine that in the abscence of an afterlife, I'll be perfectly contented and painfree in the eternity that exists after my death. "deep down", I believe that when I die, that's it.

  14. Re:What do you expect? on Avoiding the Word "Evolution" · · Score: 1

    You should put "it is easier for rope to pass through the eye of the needle" - "camel" was a mistranslation.. but don't expect a bible basher to believe factual evidence about their own book.

  15. Religeous ownership on Old Islamic Tile Patterns Show Modern Math Insight · · Score: 1

    I am an atheist, but I live in a predominantly Christian country. If I invent something, it does NOT belong to Christianity. It belongs to me, an individual.
