    Change that "d:" to "d:\" and it works just fine.

    True. Not the best wording on my part, but my main point stands.

    Are you seriously going to sit there and tell me with a straight face that President Clinton's administration didn't weed out conservatives from executive branch jobs?

    But... but Clinton!! *rolls eyes*

    The fact that Clinton did it does NOT excuse the current administration. Both administrations are wrong for doing it. It's not a matter of who did it first. The fact someone else got away with it is not a permission to do it yourself.

  4. Interesting on Games That Could Have Been · · Score: 1

    That's actually a good read. Wish it was longer, though. Good insight into some very interesting ideas for games! Wright's idea sounds awesome...wish that could actually be made.

  5. Yeah... on Microsoft Re-Brands PlaysForSure · · Score: 1

    Well, of course the Zune is incompatible with it and vice versa...Zune always used different DRM. Dunno why. Comparing the two is an odd choice, to say the least. Bad summary, imo.

  6. Re:Damage Done To Epic Permanent on Epic Opens Counterclaim Against Silicon Knights · · Score: 1

    Hence my use of the word "claim". I agree, by the way, if that wasn't clear.

    The SK filing clearly details a timeline they claim was agreed upon for features that Epic consistently missed. It's all SK's actual ruling. TFAs are useless in that regard; you only get the full story from reading the filings.

  8. Re:Bah! on Epic Opens Counterclaim Against Silicon Knights · · Score: 3, Interesting

    SK's original lawsuit is actually rather detailed: They lay out the case well and describe specific instances of Epic's breach of their agreement. I recommend actually reading SK's filing; it makes for interesting reading. The /. summaries are lacking in details, yes, but the linked articles/filings do provide a vast amount of detail. Try reading TFA next time.

    Yeah, trouble is, not everyone is able to get those speeds. Getting those speeds in Houston suburbs would be a Godsend - literally no one here gets anywhere near that.

  10. Re:Yet another way the poor kids get left out on House Passes Ban on Social Site Access · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're right, you don't have the right to be popular. But isn't there something to be said for the fact that these terminals are for the public? Suppose that you can't afford high-speed internet into your home, should you not have the right to be able to use publically available terminals for whatever the damn well you please within the bounds of the law? Oh, I'm sorry, you can't use this terminal because you're not a paying member of the current ruling party. Oh, no, you can't send that resume, we don't allow e-mail access on this terminal. Oh, you're poor and can't afford a computer at home? Too bad, you're not entitled to the internet anyway, it's not like it's there for free public access or something.

    Now, I personally don't see how MySpace actually helps anyone at all, but the fact that it exists means that whoever wants to has the right to access it. But if some little snot-nosed shit is sitting on a library computer reading MySpace when I or anyone else needs to do research, we should have the right to get that little shit off the computer, as other people have more important shit to do.

    The solution isn't banning the site, it's removing the problem at its source: the people. Police the people in person only after they become a problem. This idiotic preemptive law only serves to increase the governments power over the common people. Yeah, I vote, and I'd remove these shits from office if my vote meant anything among the ignorant masses.

    We should be protecting the children from seeing this kind of idiotic legislation come to fruition in the first place, not banning them from social situations that make up a large part of society's functioning. Letting children see us acting stupid in the name of the greater good is far more damaging.
