  1. Re:Absence of real competitors on Compact Disc Turns 26, Has a Bright Future · · Score: 2, Funny

    since I am only 26, I have to ask, is there anything before CD's?

    Both have plans for missiles, just a matter of where the missiles will be put to use.

    someone needs to shut those lil' snot nose brats up. Might as well be the opposing teams

  5. Re:What WoW really needs... on Blizzard Beefs up World of Warcraft's Recruit-a-Friend · · Score: 0

    basically those who have played are getting tired of the same game over and over. I have achieved all my Roll Playing that I wanted and as of the 15th of this month, I will be exiting the game. I know they are adding many many features, but these features are bogging down the game and imho a little much for some gamers. But if you look at it, you will be able to RP your own style and experience it the way you want. Kinda like life.

  6. Re:Mostly lack of business acumen on Why Game Developers Go Rogue · · Score: 3, Insightful

    in todays society, if you are programming for a company, you will have to put up, or no paycheck. In atleast 90% of america's economy it is political and ego stroking. Making someone look good. Only way you can get away from this, is if you are the Sole Programmer in a company of One... and at that, you will have to stroke someone's ego to atleast sell your code/product.

  7. The Man on Blizzard Tries To Forbid Open Sourcing Glider · · Score: 0

    ...it is another example of the Man trying to keep us down...

  8. Ban Because of actions... on AT&T Could Cut Off P2P Users · · Score: 0

    Banning because P2P will Tax the Wireless Phone Network. Stated in the Contact, Legit banning -- If this is not stated in the contract, there is a chance that the courts will side with the Phone Company. BUT without explicitly or implicitly stating anything, even remotely, about abusive use of Phone Network (ie P2P), AT & T has no grounds to terminate contract.

    I do work on networks, and understand the extent of P2P problems, but instead of having AT&T bitch about it, how about they actually make the users pay a little more for more bandwidth to help pay for better servers to allow the P2P to work. As others has mentioned, it is a CASH COW that legit companies are - and should- look into to make more money.

    Lets Face it! People are going to use P2P applications and tools (Bit Torrent, Blizzard's WoW, etc.) to obtain information. Some have the arguement that P2P is illegal, but Peer 2 Peer in general is not illegal, just some of the content shared on it.

  9. Anyone? on Adobe Joins Linux Foundation, Develops AIR For Linux · · Score: 0

    Does anyone not see it... Now you can buy AIR... virtual AIR, but none the less... someone has found a way for you to purchase AIR

  10. This Indiana Man on Daylight Saving Time Wastes Energy · · Score: 0

    That is why This Indiana Man has always supported staying on one time zone and not switching to DST. I still have not heard a good (financial) compelling argument to stay with DST. Lets stay on Standard Time, and deal with it.

  12. Re:is this an "I am Legend" promo? on A Virus that Attacks Brain Cancer · · Score: 0

    Won't someone think of the children... They won't be able to distinguish between Resident Evil (video game/Movie) and Reality anymore. Some will even think that Resident Evil is a futuristic documentary, or by their time, a documentary.

    With the release of the 128 YottaBite Drive, there has been a record number of men in the hospital for a sudden drop in blood pressure. Doctors are baffled until they connect the dots with whats left of their IT department.

    forget that, I want a 128 YottaByte (YB) drive.

  17. Re:obligatory on 'I Was a Hacker for the MPAA' · · Score: 0

    that is like asking "Does a rational person care about the difference between a cop and a criminal?" When someone breaks into your house, which do you really call (in a black and white names) Granted, there is a fine line between both variations and this is just a comparison. I just don't want people to look at me (as a programmer/hacker) and say "Throw him in jail." because of the label, but understand the nature of my work.

    well, the term "Hacking" is not illegal, but if you are referring to the illegally breaking an entry into another's computer for any reason, yes. But please say the right term... CRACKING

    That would be a perfect punishment... the Ironic Punishment for the Fake Spammers of the various drugs is to place them with people who have actually taken the drugs and somehow landed in prison for one reason or another.

    They would not be able to keep those on the shelfs (that is ofcourse if they started on Halo 3 Release) but that has already hit and will kick a few people in the ass for it.
