  1. Re:Here in Japan on VOIP Cell Phones Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Yeah wake me up when they have WiMax SIP based phones. I predict a mom and pop telco industry will rise up to offer cometitive prices just like the first ISPs.

  2. Re:User generated content = quality? on The New Wisdom of the Web · · Score: 1

    That's value, not quality. Slashdot is not a URL that come to mind when I think about quality of content. It's actually the opposite... it's like the dirty gossip tabloid of the tech industry.

  3. Re:AD[H]D has gone way too far. on Videogames Used to Treat ADHD · · Score: 1

    There is no established corelation between ADD and that.

  4. Re:Great! on Videogames Used to Treat ADHD · · Score: 1

    Er, I take a normal adult dose of 30 Mg a day, separated in one 20 mg in the morning and 10 mg in the afternoon. you must have a typo in there because you'd OD way before 300Mg a day. And blaming this for you current drug use is so lame IMO.

    Richard Garriot's new game Tabula Rasa will bring back all the missed freedom of UO and more (here's to hoping).

    Because Blizzard & Co.'s business model is to charge you to play for as long as possible.

    That hilarious!

  8. Re:"but no one can get online to play it" on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    I think you can't handle admiting you're wrong.

  9. Re:"but no one can get online to play it" on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    You're changing the subject. This whole sub-thread is about pointing out that you original argument about "but no one can get online to play it" and the game having long waiting queues is wrong sice the author was talking about server crashes.

  10. Re:Only real answer is free character transfer on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    No, every city in guild wars is a server with a login cap. If you can't connect to a specific server because it's full, the game creates a new server instance on the fly to accomodate the player increase (it's still a server in the MMO sense). Similarly, I don't see why we are not given the option to login on another server if we don't feel like waiting for the queue. But regardless of how Guild Wars and WoW work, it doesn't change the fact that character portability would greatly benefit WoW players.

  11. Re:"but no one can get online to play it" on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    Quote: "But the zone can't handle the incredible number of people who crowd around to take part in the gate opening. For instance, my server crashed at least a dozen times before the gate was even opened and then several times after that as players and enemies dispersed--and this was in the middle of the night."

  12. Re:Only real answer is free character transfer on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    If that's a problem for you and others, just don't play on other servers and wait in the queu all you want. That shouldn't be a reason to block server transfers for the rest of us who don't care about guild meetings.

  13. Re:"but no one can get online to play it" on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    She was refering to server downtimes due to major events happening and crashing the server.

  14. Re:Only real answer is free character transfer on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    I don't see why there needs to be a limit on character transfter. From a certain point of view, each server is just a different instance of the same world. If one of those if too busy, I'd like to have the option to login to another one that has room right away. There's not practical reason why my character should by tied to a specific server.

  15. Re:Scroogle on Justice Dept. Rejects Google's Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    I much as I understand some of the privacy concerns people have for Google, they don't actually offer an alternative. any other search engine out there collects data on it's users. It's part of the recipe they have to make money.

  16. I beg to differ on World of Warcraft Teaches the Wrong Things? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ask any talented musician and they will tell you that talent/skill comes with a lot of work.
