  1. IGDA on Developer Calls Amazon Appstore a 'Disaster' · · Score: 2
  2. Re:Some of those examples on Best and Worst Coding Standards? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Preferences -> Java\Editor\Save Actions -> Check "Format Source Code" Go around and smack people until they set that option and you'll never have to worry again. Anytime they do work, it will automatically format for them when they save.

  3. Re:TA on The Most Important Multiplayer Games Ever · · Score: 1

    10 years ago, TA let me select every unit on the map and move them all at once. Why does warcraft 3 still limit the number of units I can select?

  4. Re:Vote no to Starcraft MMO on WoW Expansion Sells 2.4 Million, New MMOG Planned · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think you're talking about 10six. It was shutdown, but revived as Project Visitor

  5. Re:Don't understand what the problem is here. on Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Finalized · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sometimes it's not a matter of the games you already own. I'll use myself as an example.

    Back when I had the choice between N64 and Playstation, I chose the N64. Then three years later, I had the choice between the GC, the PS2, and the Xbox. Since I didn't have a PS1, the PS2 was an extremely attractive option for me. Not only would I have the PS2 titles available at launch, I could go out and splurge on a huge number of PS1 classic "must-haves" that were selling for 10 bucks each.

    With the current launch of the 360, that list of cheap, classic xbox games that I can play right now is a lot smaller than I was hoping it would be. I might as well just wait and make sure that all of the games that I will want to play are made backwards compatible before buying. (There might even be a price drop on the console by the time that happens)

  6. Re:What data do gamers have? on Review: Monarch Computer's Nemesis FX-57 7800 SLI Gaming · · Score: 1

    Except for the ever-precious save game files that you sunk 40+ hours into

  7. Re:From the article on Movie Based MMO Updates · · Score: 1

    I would guess that the notice was posted on the 12th, and would take effect 3 days later

  8. Re:Help me out here on Reintroduce Megafauna to North America? · · Score: 2, Funny
    I had one mod point left a couple of hours ago and was going to use it to mod you "interesting" but apparently it just expired.

    Every single time I get mod points, what's left always expires right before I find something good to use 'em on...

  9. Re:*I* can't believe that so few caught THIS on Microsoft Testing Rival to Google's Start Page · · Score: 1
    From the MSN Sandbox: It is an experimental project that launched with start.com/1 in early March 2005. Start.com/2 launched a few weeks later and /3 on June 3.

    Poster is definitely trying too hard to hype up something that has apparently been sitting unnoticed for several months...

  10. Give me a paper book any day on Old-Fashioned DRM Protects Harry Potter Book · · Score: 1
    I have never bought an e-book, and I never will as long as there is the option of buying a paper book.

    I can't curl up on the sofa with my desktop. If I want to read a few pages before I go to bed, I don't want to have to get up and go to my computer. I know that there are probably handheld devices out there just for e-books, but...

    I don't have to worry about buying batteries to read or running out of juice in the middle of a chapter. I don't have to deal with glare when reading outside. If I drop my book, I might have a few bent pages, but it won't break like a piece of hardware can.

  11. Re:Soundtrack! on Total Annihilation Sequel Preview · · Score: 3, Informative

    Rejoice, for it has been confirmed that Jeremy Soule, who composed the music for TA, will be on board for SupCom

  12. Re:Great fun with satellite imaginery on Google Adds Satellite Imagery to Maps · · Score: 1

    Heh, heh. I just zoomed in to my house, and then followed my exact route to school. I should have left about two minutes ago, but hey, it's fun!

  13. Re:but TIE stands for ... on Another Star Wars RTS in the Works · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's called a TIE crawler because it looks like a TIE fighter crawling on the ground. Do a GIS for "tie crawler"
