  1. Re:The Simple Solution on Linux Users Banned From World of Warcraft? · · Score: 1

    Amen to that. Thanks for making my point in a way I can't while I'm laughing this hard at the patheticness of the complainers

  2. Errrm, ever hear the phrase "Unsupported OS" on Linux Users Banned From World of Warcraft? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you get a game designed to run on windows/mac, then try to run it in linux, and it doesn't work properly, that's not the publishers fault, it's the fact that you are doing something the program wasn't designed for....

    this is not Blizzard's fault, they clearly state the game is windows/mac only and if your linux install causes problems with the "warden" it's your fucking problem....

    oh and cry more about the lv60epixxx you lost, nobody cares

  3. something is missing.... on Suit Blames Videogames for Homicides · · Score: 1

    I don't know how accurate this is,and I must admit I didn't RTFM, but I heard the kid was abused as a child.... yet nobody seems to have thought THAT could have some bearing on his mental state

  4. Re:Who gets the money? on Microsoft Hit With 280m Euro Fine · · Score: 1

    The french, it's always the french

  5. Re:It's a killer on First 3G BlackBerry Announced · · Score: 1

    but unless the customer is an idiot they will realise there are better 3G devices out there that can ALSO be used as modems.... oh wait, my point was invalid after the first seven words....

  6. The only people that actually USE blackberries.... on First 3G BlackBerry Announced · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    are farkwit managers and techs who are forced to carry them so farkwit managers can moan at them 24/7 via email.... blackberries are the bane of my existence and they aren't even very good device anyway, i don't know how a crap device on a flaky patent got so popular.

  7. why? on Windows XP on Intel Mac Confirmed · · Score: 1

    I know it's just a proof of concept, but surely this is putting a 600cc moped engine into a ferrari?

  8. and? on Dell to Buy Alienware? · · Score: 1

    D'hell = Alienware alienware is just a dell PC in a prettier case. overpriced, a pain to upgrade hardware, and bundled with the most useless stuff i have ever seen, this is going to make no difference, although I see alienware becoming dells "gaming PC devision"

  9. Re:Logical fallacy on The Impact of Violent Gaming · · Score: 1

    Just because 2% of gamers have deep rooted mental issues, which can be triggered by violent games, doesn't mean that the games cause violence, for people (such as the school shooters etc) to behave in such a way, they must have some sort of issues underlying in the first place.

  10. This just proves that.... on We Don't Need No Stinkin' Broadband · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People are stupid and scared of technology, nothing else.

    that is all....

  11. Re:A crutch? on Coming Soon, Super Vision · · Score: 1

    Curiously, my prescription all those years was too strong by nearly a full power according to my lasik doctor. your lasik doctor lied, speaking as a former opticians assistant myself, if your spectacles were that far from your necessary prescription you would have been very unwell, suffering nausea and extreme migraines. as for distance spectacles "locking up" your muscles, this is an urban myth and frankly it scares me that people believe this. The reason i left the profession was due to the large amount of people who view the optician as a sales person and not a medical practitioner..

  12. Re:Detail levels on Philips Launching TV on Cellular in the US · · Score: 1

    I don't know about there, but here in the UK it's a £10 a month flat charge for TV.... expensive for TV maybe, but still cheaper than cable :P
