  1. Re:The Web != The Internet on More Than 20 Years of the Web on the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, Kiefer Sutherland sells "CalorieMate" to the Japanese.

  2. Travel should be easy? on Lessons GMs Can Learn from World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Travel should be easy

    Travel may be easy in WoW, but it sure is boring, and takes a rather long time. That was my main beef with WoW, why do I have to go through the same animated sequence time and time again.

  3. Re:WOW! on Blizzard Banhammer Kills 18k · · Score: 1

    Piracy is impossible in MMOGs as you are paying for the registration code, not the game itself, and the registration code should be impossible to counterfit.

  4. Re:My 2 cents... on How Would You Design a Captcha for the Deaf-Blind? · · Score: 1

    23000 deafblind people in the UK alone.

    Actually, "There are about 23,000 deafblind people in the UK. Some will be totally deaf and totally blind, while many others will have some hearing and/or vision."

    From my reading of the link, I get the sense that many deafblind people can be helped by equipment to help people who are only deaf or blind.

    "Deafblind people can get equipment to help them live independently. These include alarm clocks with large raised numbers, computer packages that display text on your computer screen as well as speaking the word through loudspeakers or through a hearing aid, and telephones and textphones with large numbers and letters."

  5. Re:Missing Games on IGN's Top 100 Games · · Score: 1

    No MMORPGs are on the list. I'd put Ultima Online on it for popularizing the genre.

  6. Not a cartoon on Cartoon Based on D20 Modern Setting · · Score: 1

    The title says it's a cartoon, however the article simply calls it "an action series". Nowhere in the article does it say that it is a cartoon.

  7. Re:$26000 an hour on World of Warcraft Outage Charted · · Score: 1

    $26000 an hour in revenue, not profit.

  8. Re:Any Good? on The Matrix Online Launches · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anarchy Online was one of if not the first Sci-Fi themed MMORPG.

  9. Re:A book about social engineering on IRS Employees Fall For Hackers · · Score: 1

    A god doesn't get caught. ;)

  10. Re:Fingerprints on IRS Employees Fall For Hackers · · Score: 1

    Biometrics shouldn't be used instead of passwords. They should be used in addition to them.

  11. Re:Social Engineering is the biggest problem on IRS Employees Fall For Hackers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is no such thing as perfect security when too many people are in the know, or have some sort of access. There is no such thing as perfect security. Given a sufficient motivation, amount of time, and resources any protection can be overcome.

  12. My Favourite Gaming Table on Ultimate RPG Gaming Table · · Score: 1
  13. Dupe on Google Goes to Answers.com · · Score: 3, Informative
  14. Re:The real question to me is.... on Katsuhiro Otomo's Steamboy in Theaters · · Score: 0

    Sure, most anime is crap, but so are most action movies, comedies, horror movies, etc. No matter the genre, you have to sift through shit to find gold.

  15. Why use keywords? on Is Google Breaking Their Own Rules? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Why would they use keywords too increase their page rank when they could simply modify their algorithm to automatically give google pages high page ranks?

  16. Oscars awarded to risk takers? on New Round of Lawsuits in Preparation for Oscars · · Score: 1
    From the article:
    Traditionally the films that are rewarded by Oscar voters at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are those that take thematic and commercial risks.
    Yep, films like Titanic and Lord of the Rings were real risky productions.
  17. Re:Ahh! on Fansubbers Under Fire · · Score: 2, Informative

    As soon as someone in the destination country starts producing (or even state that they intend to start producing) the anime in question, it disapears without trace from the web.

    Not quite. The fansubbing groups will often remove the series from their site, but the episodes certainly don't disapear. Many of them are still distributed after licencing by sites like http://www.boxtorrents.com/.
