  1. Ha I wish! on Why Microsoft Hates Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    I read your comment with interest, but sadly that will not happen. Here's why:
    The media hates Nintendo. I don't know why, I don't pretend to know why, but they do, read almost any mainstream news outlet's report on Nintendo and it's always "child focused", or "younger gamer".
    Secondly, the public (UK, but probably US as well) see Nintendo as that. As part of my community enrichment project at school, I tried to organise a GCN tournament of Soul Calibur 2. It bombed, everytime I brought the subject up, I was *laughed at*. Despite the fact that the game is a 15+ and is a multi-format game, my peers seemed to think that playing on a Nintendo console would make them somehow less mature, or less "manly".
    Nintendo has no problems whatsoever with technology or development. Nintendo has a problem with perception

    These links do not go over standard port 80 and so may not work behind company firewalls

  5. Re:I've had a fanless video card for years! on A Fanless Graphics Card from ASUS · · Score: 1

    OMG, until recently I had the exact same card, and let me assure the GParent poster it does have a fan, a little dinky one, but a fan none the less. I just gave it to my little sister, because her old rage card wouldn't put out xp in anything more than 256 colours.

  6. Re:Colour me confused... on Firefox 1.0.7 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

  11. Re:perhaps these people need a Linux livecd... on Making A Fortune From Casual Games · · Score: 0

    I'd say finding the file ending in .exe is easier than paypaling someone £5

  12. perhaps these people need a Linux livecd... on Making A Fortune From Casual Games · · Score: 0

    These games sound very similar to Gnometris and PyScrabble, etc. If these people had a lnux flash USB disk or a livecd they could have similar games in far greater quantities for free.
