  1. Re:geez then why keep paying to play it?? on Yet Another EVE Online Scandal? · · Score: 0

    Overall it's an excellent game. It has the most advanced economy of any game I've ever played, and flying space ships on the Internet is just plain cool. It really only affects the hard core PvP corps. But it affects them a lot.

  2. Cut Throat on Ask CCP About EVE Online · · Score: 0

    As a newbie to Eve, there doesn't seem to be much of a penalty for killing (ganking) other players. You can gank all day long, then simply run a few missions to erase your negative standing. Have you considered harsher penalties for anti-social behavior?

  3. Napster does the same thing on The Insanely Great Songs Apple Won't Let You Hear · · Score: 0

    Napster does a similar thing. I was able to get to Napster's private UK, Canadian, and Australian message boards. The only message board that had any traffic was the UK board. In chatting with the users it came to light that different songs were available in the different countries. At the time, U2's "Vertigo" was not available for purchase in the US (on Napster), but it was in the UK. UK users also paid more per song than US users.

    After I posted the technique to switch countries on the US board, Napster modified the structure of the board to prevent jumping.

  4. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Globalization Decimating US I.T. Jobs · · Score: -1, Troll

    Strange BLS shows in increase in tech jobs. Must be the Jews manipulating us with their mind control beams again.

  5. Wrong People To Attack on DefectiveByDesign Supporters to Call on RIAA Execs · · Score: 0

    Attack the millions of people who purchase DRM products because it's fast, convenient, and cheap. Those are the jerks who are ruining our socialist utopia.

  6. Question for Mr. Heff on Microsoft Linux Lab Manager Responds · · Score: 1

    I'm a VB6 developer who has made 70% of the migration to VB.NET. The enviornment of my employer is about 80% Windows, 15% Solaris, 5% Linux. Are there any plans to help the open source community get a functional CLR for any *nix's? The OSS community doesn't have a strong interest in producing a complete implementation themselves, but it would be helpful for me as a developer to have the power of the Visual Studio enviornment and functionality of the .NET framework on legacy platforms.
