  1. No wait they made a mistake with the headline. on Why Computer RPGs Waste Your Time · · Score: 1

    It should have just said 'RPGs - Complete and utter waste of time'. end of story, no comment section just a big flashing GIF for the headline. I loathe RPG's. I'd rather have a heroin addiction.

    I'm all for science, don't get me wrong, but don't slander the believers because you don't.

  8. I do this everyday in my job. on Repair Computer, Repurchase OS? · · Score: 1

    You call up Microsoft's activation center when the internet activation won't let you activate the key (due to too many activations). You explain to them that it is in fact only installed on THIS ONE machine and that you had to REPLACE the motherboard as the old one died. They will issue you with your 42 digit confirmation code and BAM you are activated with your original key.

  9. Re:To the Retard who Posted this Story on New Ice Age Theory · · Score: 1
    So from what you just said, I came to this conclusion...

    Think of the atmosphere as sunblock.

    Venus has less sunblock than mercury. Mercury may be closer to the sun but has better protection than Venus.

    I get burned in winter with NO Sunblock, MORE than I get burned in summer WITH sunblock on(I live in Australia)....

    However if i were to go out in Summer with NO sunblock i'd be toast.... SO by my analogy, which is completely unfounded and backed by absolutely no research or credentials, MORE RADIATION = MORE HEAT!!!!

  11. Re:$300 is geek price inflation on Small Form Factor PCs · · Score: 1

    I agree. At home we just hide the PC behind the plasma. We don't have a cabinet, just a big wooden stand with a smaller cabinet built into it. Because its not trying to look like the 70's amplifier and is a medium tower, i can fit 4 hard drives in it comfortably and a beefy video card if want to play games. Less heat (the plasma produces enough of that :P), and less money. Win, Win.

  12. Re:This is not news. on Dell Sells Open Source Computers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not news at all. 6 months ago infact. I must have been one of the first idiots to purchase 2 "N" Series for clients and ignorantly forgot to look for XP licenses before buying them online.

    I had huuuuge arguements with the poor Dell employee who answered my belligerent phone call, asking if could purchase XP Pro for the $58 extra it would have cost me in the first place. I didn't get the licenses.

    Still, its not News. More Olds.

  13. Re:The i740 *was* a decent chip on Intel Discrete Graphics Chips Confirmed · · Score: 1

    They should have disabled all Open GL functions on that card. Q2, HL or even GlQuake was horrible on that thing. It was a Killer 2D card though!

  15. meh on Two Stargate SG1 Films Announced · · Score: 1

    SG-1 in my mind ended at the end of Season 8 with Jack O'Neil and the Goa'uld. This new one should of had a new name. I heard one person coin 'Stargate Command', in mind a lo better choice. The could of had another movie length intro and really establish that it was a different show. Oh well, at least we still have Atlantis.

  20. Re:More like "Deception Point" than the X-Files on Organic Matter Found In Canadian Meteorite · · Score: 2, Insightful

    OK so let me get this straight. You aren't going to give this "very attractive girl" the time of day because she likes Dan Brown novels.... and shes the idiot here.

    So did you happen to pick up 'Angels and Demons', brilliant story even if some of his chapters are only 2 pages long. Most of Dan Browns novels that i've read have an underlying love story where the educated hero ends up with the "very attractive girl"...

    If you ask me, YOU are the fool in THIS story who is so naive as to turn down the "very attractive girl" because of her taste in writers. How many HAPPILY married men do you know enjoy all the movies he gets dragged along to by his better half?

    I think you should get off your high horse, read the books, buy her some flowers and show her a good time, or in the least give her a chance and see if you get along. There are other things to a relationship other than reading books my friend.

    I played about 15 hours of WoW before I uninstalled it and bashed my friend with a keyboard for introducing it to me.... WORST GAME EVER. Definitely not worth the $90(AUS) and $20 a month to play afterwards

  25. Re:It's not the size that matters... on The Importance of Game Length · · Score: 1

    I'm with this guy. After a horrible day at work there is not much i enjoy more than cracking a beer and strangling people in Hitman : Blood Money. Best game i've played in a very long time. And even has replay pull. I probably spent a good 30 hours on it doing things different ways or just shooting up the place.
