  1. Monopoly on Court Rules Dungeons and Dragons Threatens Prison Security · · Score: 0

    In that case they can't play monopoly either since the banker would fill a similar role.

  2. Evil Geniuses Unite! on Scalable Nonblocking Data Structures · · Score: 0

    With an army of 768 atomic powered, logically replicated finite state machines, I would rule the world!

  3. New Coke! on VBA Will Return To Mac Office · · Score: 0

    Let me guess, when this comes back it won't just be VBA, it will be something vb.net-ish? This is just like when Coke introduced New Coke then returned with "Classic Coke" but used corn surup instead of sugar!

  4. Re:Why switch? on Little Demand Yet For Silverlight Developers · · Score: 1

    I think video sync issues are universal. Right now I am watching the iPhone sdk announcement. This is in quicktime format directly from Apple, the creators of quicktime. It is descynced. I have far fewer descync problems on Youtube, and if I do it is a per-video issue. That means it is more likely a transcoding problem (or just broken original videos). I don't think that having it built into the browser is going make it go away. Speaking as a developer using "Ajax" every day, I pray that the future isn't MORE javascript. Silverlight allows developers to code in managed C#.

    Yes I was pointing out the absurdity of saying "Flash use is going down" then saying "It is good for video and games" in a tongue-and-cheek manner. Both of those uses have skyrocketed Flash use. Chill out Mr. Anonymous.

  6. Re:Why switch? on Little Demand Yet For Silverlight Developers · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That's right! Wow people still use Flash? Streaming games and videos on the internet? Who would ever want that!?! Yes, also I prefer my videos and games the old fashion way: slowly downloaded to my PC in very platform specific formats. Those young kids and their crazy Youtube, when will they ever learn that it's all just a fad! ;)

  7. Re:Cameras don't deter criminals. on 10,000 Cameras Ineffective At Deterring Crime · · Score: 1

    Like CAPTCHA, but for your face.

  8. Re:The Ironforge Death Trap on Ask Questions of the World of Warcraft Team · · Score: 1

    It exists as a place for horde rogues to go when they don't want to be seen.
