  1. Re:I for one... on Australia Gets Its First Female Prime Minister · · Score: 1

    A timeless classic. Bravo!

  2. Too easy... on Future Blu-ray Movies To Come With Playable Game Demos · · Score: 0

    Now we can get our crappy sweatshop games right on the same disk as the average movie tie in.

    Can't see this being very useful in the real world.

  3. iTunes on Thieves Clear Out NJ Apple Store In 31 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Hopefully the perps are selling those so they don't have to use iTunes. Such a lovely interface to your music collection... wait...

  4. Re:bespoked for each platformm, good luck on Crysis 2 Confirmed For Multiple Platforms · · Score: 1

    Most multi-platform games are actually made with the other platforms in mind, so all the assets and engine are separate from the hardware as much as possible.

    Some studios are better than others at getting the last little bit working well on each though.

    All you have to do is tell us your using our radio telescope to receive the signals!

  6. Re:It's not the first time, it won't be the last. on Taxpayer Data At IRS Remains Vulnerable · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The minister responsible was never held accountable. That's why these security breaches keep on happening over here.

    I am so angry that politicians are not accountable for their actions. It makes the implementation of democracy a farce because the people in power voted in by the public can basically do whatever the hell they want and walk away with a fat paycheck and pension without having to worry that if they do something seriously wrong they can be punished somehow.

    Such a rort.

    All it would take is some simple bad behavior = punishment laws for politicians but oh hold on its those same politicians that vote on the laws so of course they won't do that.
    Don't even get me started on being able to give yourself a payrise.

  7. Always nice to know on On Luck and Randomness In Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its always good to see that people who matter are actually thinking about ways to overcome obstacles.

    It also annoys me greatly when a steady handed and well aimed sniper round misses by a algorithm calculated bees proverbial.

  8. Re:Replacement on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Some examples of changing things on various lines:

    # add 'gronk' to the end of every line
    # 1 is line 1, $ is the last line :1,$ s/$/gronk/

    In vim (unsure if its new or in the original vi) a % means do this on all lines.

    eg: :%s/^/foo/

    places "foo" at the start of every line.

  9. Re:Just using VIM on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Because if you do a lot of text editing they are much quicker and more efficient to use. The biggest thing I notice on a day to day basis is with a "mode" editor such as vi you can block comment out 20 lines of code with a single command rather than comment down across comment down across comment... Syntax highlighting is also a huge bonus. I know that some other "gui" editors have this sort of thing now as well but its pretty standard on vi/emacs style editors. The power you refer to is what makes them more useful than your standard gui modeless editor.
