  1. Re:Hey guys... on AT&T Makes Its Terms of Service Even Worse, To Discourage Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    There's the confusion. I agree the wireless site is missing a time stamp. The one I was looking at was the above linked one for broadband. For wireless, I did a search for TOS, and the support post mentions that the TOS was updated back in 2007. It's all too shady.

  2. Re:Hey guys... on AT&T Makes Its Terms of Service Even Worse, To Discourage Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Also if you go on the site there is no date stamp telling you when the contract was last updated. The date stamp leaves me rather displeased with ATT though as i should not have to guess when it was last updated

    It's at the bottom, reading "Last Updated: June 14, 2009"

  3. New Cliche? on The Squid's Beak May Revolutionize Engineering · · Score: 1

    "The best thing since the Squid's Beak!"

  4. Hmm, missed this opportunity too on Sun Turns to Lasers to Speed Up Computer Chips · · Score: 0

    Back in High School, a friend named Tom had this crazy idea to use light to transmit information between components in a computer. Back in the mid-to-late 90's, I wonder if anyone else thought of this.

  5. Funny on Sony Blu-ray Under Patent Infringement Probe · · Score: 1

    I love it how this story comes to light AFTER the format war is ended (Thanks Toshiba! :) ) It's as if she sat at her computer every day, reading SlashDot, and waited for the end. Blu-Ray loses -> "Aww, I'm out millions and billions" Blu-Ray wins -> "Yay, mucho dinero por favor." Anyone want a CowPie?

  6. My 1-line for the day on Unreal Creator Proclaims PCs are Not For Gaming · · Score: 1

    Tim Sweeney: Shut up. UT3 sucks, and blaming the PC for it will get you nowhere.

  7. Dont early adopters on Samsung Sued Over "Defective" Blu-ray Player · · Score: 1

    Don't early adopters always get burned? That's the price you pay to be first.

  8. Re:S.E.T.I on Is SETI Worth It? · · Score: 1

    SETI is looking in the wrong places. They're looking for radio signals. Everyone knows aliens talk with their minds.

  9. Re:Sorry... on FEMA Sorry for Faking News Briefing · · Score: 1

    They're screwed either way. They claim that their response was better than Katrina. Now wait for the outrage from the blac/southern community that its because its helping rich white folk.
    If the response wasn't better, they'd get crap for not improving since Katrina.

  10. Re:no patience for this on EA Denies DRM Problems With Sims 2 · · Score: 1

    I, too, have given up on EA. Their games are lackluster and are often too similar to the one before it. After buying a Booster Pack for BF2, and waiting 2 days to play it as EA requires the purchaser to go to a non-existent website and get redirected into an endless loop of log-in and enter your key, I swore off buying another EA game again. Although we have different reasons, it seems common ground that EA just wants to make money any means possible while further shiatting on the purchasers.

  11. Re:So... on Dell Refuses to Sell Ubuntu to Business · · Score: 1

    I agree with the "Buy Elsewhere" point. My Toshiba laptop, bought at Best Buy, came with Vista premium (but runs Ubuntu 7.04 full time now) cost $600. A Dell laptop with the same exact internals as my machine costs $894 and only comes with a free OS. You do the math.

  12. Re:Voices not what you expect on Voice Chat Can Really Kill the Mood · · Score: 1

    I agree with you here. I have a team mate in BF2142 from England, and I find him more pleasant to chat with over TeamSpeak than anyone else on the team. There are 2 people from Canada that I cannot stand when they talk because one talks too much and the other bitches about getting pwned too much. I also find that if I don't talk on it myself, I play better than usual. It's a different path than the OP suggests but clearly suggestive that maybe VOIP (used loosely here) may be counter-productive.

  13. What? on Optimus Keyboard Pre-Orders In Mere Hours · · Score: 1

    Ok. Its a keyboard. Say that over and over until you realize that's all it is.

  14. Wanna see what friends are playing what? on Microsoft is Screwing Up Live on Vista · · Score: 1

    Get xFire. Free, does the same thing, and it can patch your games for you. Who needs a scoreboard when companies like EA do it for free and make the info publicly available.

  15. Original Name? on Call of Duty 4 Announced · · Score: 1

    Isn't Battlefield 2 a :Modern Combat titled game too?

  16. Nice on Surprise, Windows Listed as Most Secure OS · · Score: 1

    Its about time Microsoft get recognized for this, especially since they skipped their last Patch Tuesday and all. Doing that didn't skew the numbers at all, I'm sure.

  17. "WhatEv" on Spore Dev Down On the Wii · · Score: 2, Funny

    He's just mad because they're selling like hotcakes and he can't make a game work on it.

  19. No complaints here on Wiimote Straps Result in Class Action Suit · · Score: 1

    Nintendo can keep my share of the class action lawsuit money (if there is some).

    No issues here. Remote only slipped once from my hand, and original strap held its ground.

    I've never been happier about a gaming system like the Wii. The games are great, the interactivity is great, and getting a party of friends to all play together on the system is so much easier - granted none of my friends are hidden idiots and don't get buck wild with the remote.

    Only way I personally can see this remote being a problem is people using the remote like a fast-pitched underhand thrown softball while playing bowling. Obviously there are retards out there who do it.

  20. When can I buy the software, not lease it? on Why Does Everyone Hate Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Motivation for this thought comes from here.

  21. Bullshiat! on RIAA Wants Artist Royalties Lowered · · Score: 1

    And I repeat, Bullshiat. Ringtones cost more than a full song from iTunes (Cingular = $2.49, iTunes = $.99). As a matter of fact, a story from February, 2006 states:

    "Record labels love it when fans buy a ring tone of a song they already own -- the industry claims $4 billion in ring-tone sales to date. But in fairness, you shouldn't have to pay separately just to hear your CD tracks or legally acquired MP3s as ring tones."

    I say give that money to the artists. They're not swimming in extra money from lawsuits and they're the actual creators of the music. Stop dicking them over!

  22. Be just like him on Warner CEO Admits His Kids Stole Music · · Score: 1

    What if I give my kids (if I had any) a stern talking to? Does that save me from paying millions of dollars?

  23. Bookmarked for Future ownage! on Windows Chief Suggests Vista Won't Need Antivirus · · Score: 1

    Never say never. XP was supposed to be more secure (just read the screens as it installs).
    The only way you can honestly say ANY OS can be locked down from a Virus is if you take away the internet and don't allow someone with a disc the ability to install one.

    It's all about user base. Vista will be preinstalled on new OEM machines, and that alone will have a large user base of mostly non-tech-junky people. Prime grounds for virus/virii and malware.
