  1. Re:Diablo 3 on Diablo 3 Coming To Consoles · · Score: 0

    Yup, I'm also assuming that Blizzard will eventually release server software or something similar once the game has run its lucrative course. This is Blizzard we're talking about, not Ubisoft. Please let's be serious here.

    It might be missed, but you can always just get online in the same room.

  3. Re:Diablo 3 on Diablo 3 Coming To Consoles · · Score: 0, Troll

    The games are still good. Nothing you've mentioned is actually a gameplay flaw. Lack of LAN is annoying, but hardly difficult. Diablo was always a retarded game. This is just a mainstream retarded game.

  4. Re:Tolkien's prose on JRR Tolkien Denied Nobel Due To Low Quality Prose · · Score: 1

    I have always found Tolkien's books hard to read. (Not enjoyable reading)

    The only one I have actually finished was The Hobbit, as it was a relatively short one and seemed a bit lighter than the others. Others I have started but never completed.

    That's when I was younger though, maybe I should try those books again now that I'm a middle aged geezer.

    I did finish LOTR, but I actually thought The Hobbit was simply a better book. It was more enjoyable and fun. LOTR was so damn dense I was compelled to throw it out of the window.

  5. Re:Start with the basics on Ask Slashdot: Tech For Small Library Automation? · · Score: 1

    Already at 5, but this is a good idea. While a library management software would be really easy to code, you do need to know how to code and how to code well. Spending 245 bucks into something that will make your business better is not a big investment that can nonetheless pay back a lot. So take the safe route.

  6. Re:Since when was PC gaming ever viable? on Crysis 2 Most Pirated Game of 2011 · · Score: 1

    Skyrim isn't a demanding game. It might look pretty, but the graphics if you ever forget about how much fun you might have aren't particulary groundbreaking.

  7. Re:I doubt it on High School Reunions — Facebook's Newest Victim? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I highly doubt you realize how incredibly creepy that comment about algorithms was.

    (I won't even bother with references, because it is literally 10 seconds away in Google. Sapienti sat.)

    It isn't that I'm not agreeing with you, but throwing out these without a reference makes you literally the same kind of troll you're looking to rebuke.

    FUN FACT: He might be that, but he's actually giving good insight in the situation. Something you're not only not willing, but also probably unable to provide.

  10. Re:Relax, everyone. Good grief. on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 1

    At least the research one made sense. Perhaps it's just that I've heard it many times before. As for TFA, well. I agree.

  11. Re:Remember: on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 1

    The plural of anecdote is data.

    Are you serious? I understand you're trying to sound edgy and using powerful words is cool, but you have to agree this is blatantly wrong.

    In another news, youngsters are actually drifting away from the iPhones towards Android. Nothing to do with quality, of course, but Android is more of a buzz word nowadays.

  12. Re:Avoid Nokia! on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 1

    Erm, nope. You're wrong. Nokia were easily the best of the "dumb" phones available.

    Someone doesn't understand the basic concept of "news".

  15. Re:Doesn't everyone run in classic? on The Condescending UI · · Score: 1

    There you go. You have to look at the bigger picture. I run Linux at home (Ubuntu) and Windows on my gaming machine, but I don't have the freedom of choice at the office. And we both are in the vast minority anyway.

  16. Re:Doesn't everyone run in classic? on The Condescending UI · · Score: 1
    Both large and small corporations use Windows. The point isn't whether they are right or wrong, the point is that you will have to deal with it most likely than no. Both me and my father, me being an ABAP developer (also a computer engineer) and my father being a RPG developer with at least 30 years of experience, perhaps more, have to deal with Windows on a daily basis.

    I do believe we "know about computers".

    You DO realize that out there, when you have a job, you most likely will be forced to use Windows, right?

    Eye-candy gets in the way.

    Hmmm no it doesn't. I wonder what kind of "work" you're trying to get done if that little eye-candy takes away vital space and computer resources.

  21. Re:Windows 7 theme on The Condescending UI · · Score: 1

    I hate "pinned" apps.

    Well that's *your* problem. The rest of the world doesn't really seem to have any problem with it. Personally, I think it's really useful.

  22. Re:Easy and Advanced on The Condescending UI · · Score: 1

    Guys, we are missing the point here: the vast majority of people who use a computer don't need to know how it works. Not everyone's a programmr or sys admin.

    My question is, besides the obvious hazard that comes with posting really dangerous info (such as phone number, for example), what else can they do? Make money? Put more ads directed at me?
