    You can turn off the steam news pop ups that tell you about new games you know?

    Untick "notify me about..."

  4. Too late. on MySpace Revamps Site To Recapture the Magic · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As soon as Murdoch bought the site it tanked completely. Now obviously those two things aren't entirely connected. I can still be happy about it though. :)

    Also worth seeing:

  5. Re:Wow on WikiLeaks Releases Cache of 400,000 Iraq War Documents · · Score: 1

    What is their agenda?

  6. Re:ISS on You're Never More Than 115 Miles From McDonald's · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Well Americans are full of shit so theirs would be a larger unit.

  7. Re:GOG was great, but Steam is easier on DRM-Free Games Site GOG.com Gone · · Score: 1

    It wasn't added a few months ago, i've been using it for years. Since at least 2005.

  8. Re:GOG was great, but Steam is easier on DRM-Free Games Site GOG.com Gone · · Score: 1

    You can burn steam games to a CD or DVD, complete with automatic disk spanning. You can also store the same backup files on a HD. Or just manually back up the steam folder.

  9. Re:Why people distrust pollsters on 72% of US Adults Support Violent-Game Ban For Minors · · Score: 1

    If little Johnny has video game consoles, use the age filters built into those systems. If he games on a Windows Vista/7 PC, use the same system.

  10. Re:Make the punishment fit the crime on Rogue Employees Sell World Cup Fans' Passport Data · · Score: 1

    You almost sound proud of that fact.

  11. Re:Exploitation for the win! on Foxconn's Founder Opens Up About Making iPhones · · Score: 1

    They'd go to Europe to avoid high taxes? Good one.

  12. It's been done before in acadamia on World's First Transcontinental Anesthesia · · Score: 3, Funny

    My university has loads of remote learning resources that have a similar effect!

  13. Re:But what created the law of gravity? on Hawking Picks Physics Over God For Big Bang · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Still room for the old logical fallacy there. If God created gravity, then who created God? Most theists then state that God was always there, but then it's easier to simply say that gravity was always there.

  14. Re:Fuck you, Sony on Sony Halts Sales of PS3 Jailbreak Dongle · · Score: 1

    Not to mention most pharmaceuticals are consumables.

  15. Re:One opinion on Tensions Rise Between Gamers and Game Companies Over DRM · · Score: 1

    Smells like the truth to me. I've done the same, emailing Robin Walker (head of the TF2 team), and my friend once sent him a picture of a unicorn begging for an in-game item and received quite an amusing response.

  18. Re:Business model on Valve Trademarks 'DOTA' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hey it's a sound business model that results in quality polished games. Can't knock them for it. :)

  19. Re:Actually on More Than 10% of Mozilla Bug Finders Refuse Cash · · Score: 4, Funny

    Only in IE6 i'm afraid. :(

  20. Re:What are they afraid of? on BlackBerry Services To Be Halted In UAE · · Score: 1

    The difference being of course, that the European monarchies are almost purely ceremonial. (I don't know anything about the Japanese system.)

  21. Re:Ehr, no. on Microsoft Should Dump Middlemen, Build Own Phones · · Score: 1

    Well they make the Zune, and that's a mobile device. Yeah...

  22. That could work like the xbox on Microsoft Should Dump Middlemen, Build Own Phones · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Given that the xbox has done rather well for them, but they'd be entering a market where cool is king. They would have to come up with some seriously strong designs.

  23. Re:"Netroots Nation" on Al Franken's Warning On Net Neutrality · · Score: 3, Informative

    Given what he said in the summary (which i'm sure you read carefully) it sounds like he's asking for help fighting the cause.

  24. Re:You cant hand an ebook to your friend... on eBook Sales Outpace Hardbacks · · Score: 1

    Thankfully I live in a first world country, complete with socialised medicine and sane laws.
