  1. SOX Era on Getting Rid of Staff With High Access? · · Score: 1

    I think this is the new norm in the SOX era.

  2. Re:Is that even enforcable? on Canada Considering A Three Strikes And You're Off The Internet Policy? · · Score: 1

    I think with the transparency of the ever growing number appliances using the internet, it's a waste to consider how to enforce. This is clearly of the thinking of the "internet tubes" generation.

  3. Re:Why NASA? on NASA Wants to Take the Blast Out of Sonic Booms · · Score: 1

    True, then not can you "not see it coming", you won't be able to hear it either :)

  4. Whenever a SP/major update is released ... on Windows XP SP3 Creating Havoc · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Whenever a SP/major update is released, can't you always find people who are complaining and having trouble?

  5. The classics on PC Gaming Suggestions for Console-like Fun? · · Score: 1

    Two controllers MAME + street fighter 2 = great time. Unfortunately when me and wife play its two controllers + MAME + puzzle bobble :/ Although it is not the most graphically gratifying there a tons of great classic (2p) games to be played on MAME and other emulators.

  6. Look at it this way ... on $399 Mac Clone Most Likely a Hoax · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... people have bought a true Mac Air ;)

  7. Re:Doubt it. Maybe great fry cooks, but leaders? on Today's Gamers, Tomorrow's Leaders? · · Score: 0

    Gaming "today" is much more than button mashing and cheat codes.

  8. Re:unlikely to be a nice game with this hype on More Spore Details from DICE Summit · · Score: 1

    Will Wright appears to have passion and it shows in things he's done so far. His ideas probally outpace the technology he has available to him at the time to work with. If we needed someone to cover for God, Will Wright would be fit for the job.

  9. Re:Prison Camp on Gorbachev Asks Gates to Intervene in Piracy Case · · Score: 1

    Maybe this will give the RIAA/MPAA the idea to start prison camps in the US. Did I say prison camp, I meant "Happy Camp".

  10. One that does not win or Lose ... on How To Tell Open-Source Winners From Losers · · Score: 1

    This is a project that was once was a commerically held game, whose development company went out of business, but the code was still being held by Edios (Pumpkin Studio's pimp in this case). It's a gret RTS, despite its age. I say winner because its good to see this project saved and its code made availble. I also say lose because it problly won't grow anymore than it has. Winner: http://sourceforge.net/projects/warzone2100/

  11. Re:Flawed system or flawed usage? on Study Finds Bank of America SiteKey is Flawed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agree. This could be said about anything where users do not pay attention or bother understanding.

  12. Java Only for now, more coming soon on Finding New Code · · Score: 1

    I wonder how fast we will see other types of code.

  13. Re:How many dgrees on UK Greens Declare Vista Bad For Environment · · Score: 1

    Not even so much why are monitors a danger to the environment, but why would one have to change thier monitor for a new OS? Is it just an assumption that the majority of the people throw the entire computer + accesories out when they buy a new one?

  14. A unified engine on Why "Yahoo" Is The #1 Search Term On Google · · Score: 1

    Perhaps one day we will have a single unified search engine, not driven by commercial interests, rather driven by lazy "global government" employees.

  15. How many dgrees on UK Greens Declare Vista Bad For Environment · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why monitors?

  16. Re:Thank you, brave gamma testers... on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: 1

    I think most major software is released like this now, at least I beleive it to be true with most games. I bet the gimp orc carrying the torch in The Two Towers to blow up the wall at Helm's deep installed it already.

  17. Re:Reason to check out Linux on Microsoft to Get Tough on License Dodgers · · Score: 1

    If it did not work in under 160 hours of labor, would you as a consultant eat the costs?

  18. MSDN on Microsoft to Get Tough on License Dodgers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder how universal MSDN subscribers will affected by this?

  19. Wi-Fi and liability on "Free Wi-Fi" Scam In the Wild · · Score: 1

    I wonder when we will see a liability case where, a user connects to a free wifi, but insteads connects to another one the maliciously setup to trick users (i.e. a name that sounds similar "Starbuks"). Then that user user tries to sue the establishment/collect damages for not ensuring the establishment has secure .

  20. Everyone share on "Free Wi-Fi" Scam In the Wild · · Score: 1

    It seems to a non issue if you don't have open shares and you don't have have blank or simple passwords along with default user names.

  21. If he posted the commercials ... on Fox Subpoenas YouTube Over Content · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If he posted the commercials, would they still care?

  22. console centric on The Videogame Industry is Broken · · Score: 1

    Again, so console centric. Maybe people aren't getting bored with games after 3 months of play. I'm still playing BF2 after a year, and it is still just as fun as day one.

  23. Re:10 years! on Quake is 10 · · Score: 1

    Engineer in bf2 is good if you plan to drive armor/transport in a convoy ... true what you said .... it is much slower than the tf2 class ... http://bf2s.com/player/43906087/

  24. consoles, consoles, consoles on The Ten Greatest Years in Gaming · · Score: 1

    Why is always about consoles. Like dweebs that drool over Halo (granted its a good game) .. "WOW! you can play ONLINE .. over the internet!". PC games (i know not as popular) leave console games in the dust ... they are always way ahead of thier time. How can you flip over something like Halo and not Battlefield2?

  25. Re:10 years! on Quake is 10 · · Score: 1

    its ashame you don't have time. Battlefield2 is just as adicting as that was. Apply this formula: MyTime - sleep = gametime
