  1. Owning a dog on Nintendogs In-Depth Strategy Guide · · Score: 1

    "But owning a dog is no walk in the park..."

    If it's only one dog, yeah, it is a walk in the park, they only have a CR of 1/3. Certainly not very difficult to pwn.

  2. Re:Actually I find it a very important article on Microsoft Infected by Virus · · Score: 1

    "Americans do immunise thier children, it's almost impossible to admit your child to any school without immunization records."

    Well, the earlier grades aren't too tough. I was missing about half of my shots that I was supposed to have to go to school, when I finished high school. Only problem really was that I ended up having to get all of them at once right before going to college... my arms were sore for two weeks.

    I don't know how I squeaked by though.

  3. Re:So spam works? on Another Major Spammer Busted · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not any more.

  4. Re:AMD has a score to settle on Intel/AMD Battle Rages On · · Score: 3, Interesting

    'Yeah, because I'd rather subsidize advertising over research when I buy a processor....'

    Yeah, I really wouldn't want the cash from those increased sales to go into the mix.

  5. Re:Not so sure about this... on Strong Emotions May Cause Temporary Blindness · · Score: 1

    I think a better way to read the results would be, "people have a hard time getting a solid bearing of an image in a tenth of a second." Or perhaps, "split second reactions poor among Internet users." Read the article. The second and third examples were just as fast, however, the second one had a probably "shocking" image quickly before the rotated one, while the third one had a fire hydrant instead. Many, many fewer people spotted the rotated image in the second sequence. So the amount of time it was shown is not the important factor there. You're just one of those people too slow to see it anyway :p

  6. Re:re on Project Offset FPS Amazes · · Score: 1

    "or is it so much easier to create ugly things instead of beauty?" Ever play Morrowind? The character models almost scared me away from playing the game. I swear, a planet-sized ugly stick must have fallen from space at some point onto Vvardenfell.

  7. Re:by the way on Games Should Be Like Female Orgasms · · Score: 1

    Just read through the entire series of comments on this article, this is still the most useful one.

  8. Re:But does it run... on Gentoo 2005.1, Experimental Live CD Released · · Score: 1

    No, it still runs the old-school ascii executables... But if you mean "can you install it with pre-compiled binaries" then yes, yes you can. You want a GRP installation. I believe the GRP thingy is updated every major release of gentoo.

  9. Re:They must be insane! on Gentoo 2005.1, Experimental Live CD Released · · Score: 1

    Where is that quoted from?

  10. Re:Slander on Jack Thompson Continues To Talk · · Score: 1

    The problem with game companies not agreeing to have their games rated is that our government (God Bless the USA) will quite probably say that a "dangerous situation has developed" and that it is "out of control" and that they obviously have to step in and regulate it themselves, which could very well just lead to the same problem all over again, except without the same ways out.
