    How would you present said ads w/o taking you out of the World of Warcraft?

  2. Re:Target group for review on Making a Buck Online - Without Ads · · Score: 1

    While I'm depressed to say it, Vista actually is the best choice for gaming (even above XP), because while annoyingly so, Microsoft made DirectX 10 only work on Vista, and DX10 makes games look better if the system supports it (fact).

  3. Re:Laws of Physics on New Wave Power Research Rising Off Oregon Coast · · Score: 1

    I would agree with this. A lot of energy is used in moving sand and making loud splashes.

    No one said their phones were open, just the network.

    It depends on your definition of "most people".

  6. This seems very much unlike Verizon on Verizon Wireless To Open Network · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm in shock. Verizon is fairly well known for locking down every phone they offer. What spurred the sudden change of heart? Google Android?

    You can play steam games w/o a network connection.

    There is no way random university mailing lists are filling up your inbox unless you're getting mailing lists with regular attachments of 1MB.

  10. Re:Par for the course on White House Lauds MN RIAA Win, Analysis of Victory · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yet now all these people are considered free due to our own legal system, so your point seems moot.

  11. Question about viewing far away planets on Sign Of "Embryonic Planets" Forming In Nearby Stellar Systems · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it possible that intelligent life could being viewing our planet as an embryonic planet, and we would see theirs as an embryonic planet? I don't know enough about how long ago that period was and how far away these planets are that we're looking at.

    Jobs knows what he's doing. Trust him. Give him your content, tell him to do whatever he wants with it, and go play golf or something.
    Um. I don't know about you, but if I was an executive, I'm not sure I would agree with that at all. "Shareholders, I'm going to trust our content to another corporate executive in another company, how does that sound?"

    The Great Lakes were never that great to begin with, but that's just gross.

  15. some drinks already list the caffeine content. on How Much Caffeine is Really in That Soda? · · Score: 1

    the can of Barq's I was just drinking listed 22mg/12oz.

    I'm not sure how that compares to what the study says though, because I can't read it because I don't have a subscription to their journal.

    I would believe this to be the most likely intent.
    However, I also wanted to point out with my original post that using the term SKU should not be used in news articles because it doesn't really mean anything important unless you're in a warehouse or working at a store.
    Basically, that was a really piss poor sentence because several replies to my post all inferred different meanings.

  17. some translation help needed on 360 Limiting GTA IV In Some Ways · · Score: 2, Interesting
    What does this sentence mean exactly?

    Rockstar hasn't said anything about a target SKU between the two consoles

    from the article

    "We are working on standardising the protocols to enable spacecraft communicate and share information across the solar system," Cerf said while delivering a talk on the 'Future of the Internet'. "Communication between a rover operator on Earth and a rover on Mars, via a relay orbiter, can't use standard Internet protocols end-to-end. That problem is at the root of a lot of the design work we're doing for the IPN... As part of the NASA Mars mission programme, the project aims to have by 2008 a well-functioning Earth-Mars network."
  21. Re:Date based or procedural content? on Truth in Ratings Act Reintroduced · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It wouldn't work. The senator either knows this and does it to boost his popularity among game haters, or has no idea what he's doing.

    what we should do is make a giant ram scoop that orbits the earth and funnel the space hydrogen back to earth to use as fuel.
