    Minecraft can be pretty grouchy on the RAM it uses.

  2. Re:corporate responsibility on Apple-Approved Fair Labor Inspections Begin At Foxconn · · Score: 2

    If only there was some sort of alternative, like reducing profit margins, reducing pay at the top, some sort of redistribution of wealth. What if the workers owned the means of production instead of being exploited for their labour?

  3. Re:corporate responsibility on Apple-Approved Fair Labor Inspections Begin At Foxconn · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Are you not familiar with the concept of wage slavery? That is what capitalism means deep down. When workers do not own the means of production they are forced to sell their labour to a capitalist who does. If they do not, then they starve.

    Plug a damn game controller into your PC then.

  9. Re:What, no Saturdays? on USPS Losing Battle Against the E-mail Age · · Score: 1

    We do have Saturday delivery. If the government goes ahead with its ridiculous plans to privatise the Royal Mail, then we probably won't.

    His blog changed site, and this documentary only got put up 3 days ago. So quit whining.

    That's not true, I just upgraded to FF5 through the built in updater on win7 64bit. I didn't even know it was out until the updater told me.

    The SI unit of pressure is the pascal, worked out by force over area using Newtons over square metres. One psi is about 6,894 pascals.

  19. Re:An opportunity... on Japanese Chip Shutdown Causing Shortages · · Score: 1

    I think some manufacturing processes are kept secret and not shared with outside factories, letting those in Japan have superior methods/tech to foreign competitors.

  20. One thing I never understand on AT&T To Introduce Broadband Caps · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just charge more? If the network is starting to reach its limits, then why not charge more for a top tier package, take the extra money raised and invest it into making their network better?

  21. Re:You overlooked something... on US House Subcommittee Votes To Kill Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Not really, you just have to have it so social inequality isn't blown out beyond that fraction. It doesn't have to be "exactly" the same.

  22. Re:So why was it deleted? on Old Man Murray Entry Deleted From Wikipedia · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wish I could mod you up. They kept using the slang term "meatpuppets" which is apparently somebody who enters the discussion after being tipped off on it taking place. They might as well say outsider.

    Then it would be a shame, because his work is humorous and well regarded by many respected games media outlets.

  24. Re:So why was it deleted? on Old Man Murray Entry Deleted From Wikipedia · · Score: 5, Informative

    Deletion is supposed to be the last resort No notices were put up to improve the article, no messages sent to a relevant wikiproject for volunteers to help out. Just Ben Schumin (a man a writer of OMM made fun off a decade ago) tying to pull a fast one. Schumin also removed references to Erik Wolpaw from several pages recently.

  25. Sad state of deletionist wankers on Old Man Murray Entry Deleted From Wikipedia · · Score: 5, Informative

    The deletion of OMM was instigated by Ben Schumin, a sad man who still holds a grudge against Erik Wolpaw, a writer at OMM, now working for Valve as a writer for games such as Portal. The fact that some sad sack like him can point at an article and say "this should be deleted" and the circle jerk of deletionist admins ignore the salient points made by users and experts of games journalism such as Kieron Gillen, delete the article and then pat themselves on the back for a job well done.

    Barnstars all-round you deletionist creeps, keep ruining Wikipedia one kangaroo-court AfD at a time.
