  1. Re:Fundamentals of gaming on Teens Losing Interest In Gaming? · · Score: 1

    You should check out Eve-Online.

  2. Re:Or are they going to the movies on Teens Losing Interest In Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Nope, it's really coming out in August...

  3. Re:Gaming only for nerds (again) ? on Teens Losing Interest In Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Go ahead and mod me funny, I dare you. :-)

    I would have... had you met the minimum of actually being funny.

  4. Re:And yet..... on Teens Losing Interest In Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I honestly don't think the prices of the consoles will affect whether or not us college students buy them. People will simply cut back in other areas or buy only one console as opposed to multiple ones.

  5. Re:I'd like to know what they asked.. on Teens Losing Interest In Gaming? · · Score: 1

    As phrased, we don't know if these are kids planning on going to college, getting f/t jobs, married, etc.

    If they're not doing any of these three things what other options are there?

  6. Re:Saw it coming on Teens Losing Interest In Gaming? · · Score: 1

    We paid 100 bucks for a used Gamecube, memory card, and four (stupid looking) GC controllers last week at Gamestop.

  7. Re:Dumb dah dumb dumb on Teens Losing Interest In Gaming? · · Score: 1

    At my school, the University of Michigan, only 12% of non-freshmen live in the dorms. There's not really anyone in the dorms for more than that first year and people simply don't bother setting up gaming servers.

  8. Re:For the first time ever... on Apple Officially Releases Beta Dual Boot Loader · · Score: 1

    Well if you'd like to see it, you can come by (my own) place, take a peek at the last girl I had over, and help me choose which Mac I buy next time I go computer shopping to replace this Dell

    Turn 180 degrees and you'll understand what GP was saying.

  10. Re:Are consumers stupid? on Sony More Trustworthy Than Microsoft · · Score: 1

    It's very fashionable to mention how you'll be modded. A simple "I'm sure I'll get modded down but I don't care; I'll be a martyr for my views!" will usually get you a +4 or +5. I'll probably get modded a troll.

  11. Re:World of hurt on Sony More Trustworthy Than Microsoft · · Score: 1

    What did you do about Windows when you started? Did you offer software of any kind and how did that affect things?

  12. Re:Time to move... on Unmanned Aerial Drones Coming Soon Above U.S. · · Score: 1

    So here is the question I ask the great slashdot masses: if an average income citizen wanted to leave the US, to what country should they be applying for immigration?

    This is one of the moments that I'm happy I'm a dual citizen in the US and Poland. By no means do I necessarily desire to live in the highly conservative nation of Poland, but thanks to Poland becoming an EU member nation, I can now live and work anywhere in the EU. The reason I would desire to live in the EU is the options that are available. The EU nations are independent enough that a little "nation hopping" could hopefully be done if the original country I moved to started leaning too much towards US-like policies. This at least gives me some room for movement if things start going sour again.

  13. Re:2084 on Unmanned Aerial Drones Coming Soon Above U.S. · · Score: 1

    I'm not certain that it was required, but 1984 was definitely read in at least one of the English classes I took in high school.

    I wish I had mod points to give ya cause I'd gladly hand some out.

  15. Re:Different #s have different wrong number rates on Homemade Cell Phone Call Blocker? · · Score: 1

    Weird. If I dial like this from a landline, I get an error saying to dial a 1 first. On a cell phone, the 1 is not required. I'm curious if your problm is still possible?

  16. Re:Isn't what amazon.com does ? on Card Processing Software May Store CC Info · · Score: 1

    The last four digits are what's the most important. You and many others will have the same first 4, 8, or 12 digits.

  18. Re:Why do we even need Blu-Ray right now? on Sony Decides Against Blu-Ray Downsampling · · Score: 1

    I really don't think VHS is still in wide use anywhere. I don't remember the last time I saw a VHS movie in a store or rental place.

    The other day my friend wanted a bandana I had lying around. He offered me his VCR for it... I declined and just gave him the bandana. What would I want a VCR for?

  19. Re:But for how long? on Sony Decides Against Blu-Ray Downsampling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And mine from 2 years ago DOESN'T include them.

  20. Re:Alienware Store looks familiar on Dell to Buy Alienware? · · Score: 1

    I agree. I just checked it out and my first thought was that the merger had gone live. What's the deal with them looking exactly the same?

    You misspelled a Very Bad Word in your rhyme... but I'm not going to repeat it.

  23. Re:I suppose I haven't helped much... on Mozilla Raking in Millions? · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, why do you prefer to load the Google page and search from there rather than using the built-in box? I guess I fail to see why you would go through the extra steps of removing it just to not use it.

    Then turn on Fox anytime he happens to be on.
