It's like one went out to write the worst possible advertisement/review of a crappy product, then submitted it to Slashdot just to have people sit and critize it.
Fear = Badly coded, should play on system specs far below what it does. Civ IV = Memory leakage, lots of memory leakage Battlefield 2 = EA likes to change the rules every so often, and makes you pay for expansions you don't want by includeing game changeing items to the regular game though the expansions. HL2 = I like
Hopefully as the first two get ported to consoles the major bugs will get fixed and the games will run better on PCs. The best thing about PC games is that bugs get fixed and stuff gets added, either though the original maker, or though community groups. EA and others though have shown the evil side of that.
As for less shelf space, AFAIK alot of people who play PC games pay for them online, either to have them downloaded straight to their computer, or they get shipped straight to their home.
The market for PC games isn't in stores, its in PCs.
I love it when stories are posted purely for their comic value.

Re:How about CPU Idle instead of mobile processors

If you had RTFA, or just ya know RTA'd you would see that they did measure both the idle and the at load power usage.
AMD won on the idle performance, but lost on the 100% usage lvl as far as power consumption goes. And mention was made that notebooks are very very rarely at 100% CPU usage.
Naw, was near downtown, visible northbound, but a little lower than most billboards. Also looked like one big plastic banner over a billboard rather than the more traditional paper one, so perhaps abit temporary?

Spyware and Adware are not caused by microsoft, well not most of it. Thats like saying though that rotten meat causes flies. You can inform your friends and your family, give them the information they need "in a way that they can understand and use it" and you will be fixing their computers less often.
As ignorant users move to other operating systems you will get spyware and adware on linux and mac also. Rootkits have a long history with unix don't they?
Slashdot Mirror
I think he knew exactly what he was doing when he accepted this story.
He completely trashed their server.
He got the message out that the product is a joke.
And the person who submitted it, who is the same person who wrote the review might just think twice about pulling this kind of thing again.
Seriously, where's the Foot?
This qualifies for "Laugh, its funny."

This seriously has gotta be a joke.
I used to "donate" plasma.
$20 for first visit in a week, $30 for the second visit in a week. A week being from sunday to saturday.
Nice extra $200 a month for bout 16 hours.
Blood you can only donate something like once every month or two.
Often wrong but never in doubt.

Everyone knows me.
And your in the wrong thread.
Has there ever ever been a bad review here?
I thought every turd scored an 8 here?
Ahhh, but you forgot the sheer beauty in this.
3rd party controllers caused the controller ports to fry!
Well at least that what they told us who handled the complaint management lines, RMA's all day long.
Damn thats funny.
I just stole that for use as a sig on another forum. If it wasn't for the character limitation I would have stole that for a sig here.

yea, not much out on it.
My GF pointed out a Billboard on I-35 in Austin though that says 100,000 C-7's have been sold.
So its out, its um selling......somewhere.........
RTFA They did that.
Power consumption was measured at the wall.
Much of the point in the pair up though was battery life.
The Duo would not have faired well. So probably they picked those two based not only on relative price, but relative power usage.

Maybe NASA should study them also?
I ain't sure if I've seen a park pigeon fly anyway.
They already hefting all that seed around in their guts.
You Coo'ing with my Bird?
Intentions allege results.
Just becuase Microsoft may want to make something hack proof, doesn't mean they did.

Well, Venezuala provides us 30% of our oil.
Venezuala owns Citgo.
So I would imagine if you purchased your fuel from Citgo that the profits would go to good ol' Chavez. He ain't a bad guy is he?

Sorry, we haven't tested this, yet.

Pfft, I'm sure the aliens will have plenty of warning before they invade us, and how would a telescope warn the aliens bout us?
