  1. Re:Rednecks? on Environmental Chemicals Are Feminizing Boys · · Score: 1

    yes and ... the fact that promiscuity is way more prevalent in the UK - the land of the CHAVS - what can I say, *some* people are at it 24/7 and they know they can sponge of the wellfare system for generations to come.

  2. Ubuntu 9.10 rules for Laptops (Sony SZ770) on Some Early Adopters Stung By Ubuntu's Karmic Koala · · Score: 1

    I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 since Alpha4 (dist-upgraded) every week on my Sony SZ770 - I can tell you that no other linux distro every supported my laptop as Ubuntu 9.10 (HAL was so shite). For me the only bug was ext4 error (touch wood), everything from sound to brightness controls work out of the box. I compile most of my progies, not a single problem. But seriously if you want tested use debian lenny, lenny is a beast that is still better win7 - I'm happy I jumped ships a while ago

  4. Blizzard deserves it on WoW Helping or Hurting the Industry? · · Score: 1
    Whilst I'm not a big fan of subscription games, the cost have got to be covered some how. It has got to be said that Blizzard takes forever to release a game. Why? So that the code/engine is efficient. Unlike many games, I have played, I have found blizzard games to be the most entertaining/crash free that never required UBER systems and UBER GPU's.

    EA Games, I will never buy another game from you, disgusting and disgraceful, BF2 (You call that an Engine) its just so dam UNSTABLE, (great gameplay though).

    The current trend goes to say and is reflected by the attitude in industry (Faster Machines means allot more shortcuts hence a boost in productivity and hence the game is built in 2 months) whereas Blizzard has never taken that attitude, on average a game is worked on 2-3 years.

    In my view good on them, they deserve it and I hope EA goes out of business. While WoW is on the scene now, I wonder how Diablo III and Starcraft II will be received, will Diablo III be another WoW? I think so for Diablo die hard fans (and there are many including myself).
