  1. Re:missing the point on Avoiding Wasted Time With Prince of Persia · · Score: 1

    Yeah but your buddy can only save you once. After he saves you, you need to get to a safehouse to thank him and then he's "rescue ready" again. If you die twice in a row then you die for good.

  3. Re:DLC so soon on New Time-Trial Maps Coming to Mirror's Edge · · Score: 1

    Link me to some rip off PC DLC.

    Perhaps those valve tf2 map packs and character upgrades. Oh those were free.

    Or the UT2004 add on map packs. Oh those were free.

  4. DLC so soon on New Time-Trial Maps Coming to Mirror's Edge · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Console gaming these days is all about the DLC rip off. This was probably in development at the same time as the disc game.

  5. Re:Priceless on Valve's Gabe Newell On DRM · · Score: 1

    They can be generated, but they won't check against the database of legitimately generated keys.

    Unfortunately, both Reagan and GB senior did the same thing, though to a lesser extent.

    I think the FBI have him on a protection program, even his family don't know where he is now.

  8. Re:what is so hard about it? on BBC Brings DRM-Free Content To Linux Users · · Score: 1

    this isn't about streaming, I think the GP refers to the download version. The streaming version uses flash.

    The wii supports USB keyboards, you should give it a try.

    Area man is that you?

  12. Re:Congratulations, plastic is dirty on Toxic Fumes From Mac Pros? · · Score: 0, Troll

    That's nice, except mac pros are aluminium cased computers.

          6. Have to jailbreak it to return function other handsets have by default?

    3. You can use any bluetooth headset
    4. Yes you can
    5. No gives a fuck
    6. Only functions I can think of are tethering and bluetooth transfers
    7. Yeah I hate having an app store
    8. Don't forget the $100 access fee
    9. The glass face is far from fragile
    `0. the virtual keyboard is better than a real one, in that it allows for a bigger screen
    11. who gives a fuck
    12. 16GB of internal storage
    13. who gives a fuck

  15. DLC ready at launch? on Mega Man 9 Released, DLC announced · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Talk about nickel and diming your customers, announcing DLC for a downloadable title, before it is even launched.

  16. Re:Obviously not. on ITunes 8 a Real Killer App; Taking Down Vista · · Score: -1, Troll

    If you use Vista, your OS is a POS.

  20. Re:no... on Keeping an Eye Out When Sites Go Down · · Score: 1

    About 3 or 4 years ago google had a DNS issue which meant it was unreachable via domain name, and only by typing in the actual IP address.

    It was pretty weird to see google.com not responding, I initially assumed that my modem was having connection problems, but then I read on the SA forums about the problem.

    Very weird to be without google.

  21. Re:Thats what they get on Mass Effect DRM Still Causing Issues · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yep, I get that with Civ 4, which doesn't have cd keys for the game or the expansions, it has the old fashioned "disk in drive" copy protection.

    5 minutes and 3 no CD exes later my game runs even better.

    That doesn't have anything to do with iron!

  23. Re:What's the RIGHT number? on Firefox Appears Ready to Crack 20% Share Next Month · · Score: 1

    It did always confuse me yeah, I mean in total, mac users and firefox users must make up some large part of the web browsing population. Certainly large enough that you can't simply write them off.

    In the real world shops have disabled ramps, merchants don't simply write off all possible disabled/injured customers and say they can do without those sales. It's about time web developer attitudes caught up.

  24. Re:Japanese not creative? on Shigeru Miyamoto, The Walt Disney of Our Time · · Score: 1

    There are several hundreds of different sitcom series and even if 'most' are boring (and I agree with that), that still leaves dozens of interesting and original ones!

    You knew what the EULA was. Don't like it?


    But if i'm not mistaken the EULA does say "Click Disagree" and then take it back for a refund?
