  1. Don't forget rentals on New Sony Patent Blocks Second-hand Games · · Score: 1

    I was similar growing up, except that instead of buying second hand I would rent NES games from the local box store (Phar-Mor in the 80's), similar to movie rentals before NetFlix and such. I suppose the modern-day equivalent would be GameFly, which would also be cut out w/ this.

  2. Re:Given just the titles of those claims, on Jury Hits Marvell With $1 Billion+ Fine Over CMU Patents · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The idea of a bunch of people from Pittsburgh voting to not give CMU a bunch of loot is at best weird.

  3. Re:Hotmail? on Hotmail Doesn't Work With Linux Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    For websites, in theory, you could have saved that email you get when you sign up for a new service (message boards, mailing lists, youtube/myspace/whathaveyou), the one that says "keep this email for your records", and probably contained some default password that you had to change?

    A professional company (and free/oss software that generates these types of emails) probably includes a way to change that info with a link in that email (or a form on their site).

    My hotmail account pretty much only contains those types of emails at this point in time, as that is why I created it. Yes, it would time consuming to switch, but hey, it's your choice in the end.

  4. Re:I tried to replicate the bug, but all I got was on Remote Exploit of Vista Speech Control · · Score: 1

    I wonder how it responds to http://www.zombo.com/ ?

  5. Swear to God with the Reverend Winton Dupree on Wal-Mart Asked to Drop Christian Video Game · · Score: 1

    I have a question, and I know you all have it, too. What is up Satan's ass?! All he wants to do is fuck us up, the dick-licker! Now the Lord said, "I am the light of the world." Now, He could as easily have said, "I am King Shit of Fuck Mountain. Why would you fuck with me?!" -Reverend Winton Dupree

  6. Re:Buying a Laptop on Dell Customer Gets Windows Refund · · Score: 1

    You could get an Ubuntu laptop at http://system76.com/
    Somebody in this discussion might be using one right now, and could maybe tell us how it compares to the Dell-type brands (not I though, as I'm shopping around myself for my first laptop).

  7. Re:Sheetz Get Out To Vote Offer! on Voting Machine Glitches Already Being Reported · · Score: 1

    FYI, Eat-n-Park will give you a free cup of coffee, tea, or a soft-drink with your voting stub.

  8. Re:Add Pennsylvania to the list on Voting Machine Glitches Already Being Reported · · Score: 1

    I think that if you're going to have electronic touch-screen voting machines, they should be made by whomever makes the order screens for Sheetz. I've never had a problem with one of those, and I could get a Schmiscuit or Fryz with my voting stub.

  9. No more false addresses on House Passes Ban on Social Site Access · · Score: 1

    Great, now the predators will know that they're not wasting their time tracing IPs of those pesky libraries and schools, but real, non-public places where it's more likely to find someone.

  10. Re:Lack of opportunity on Generic Dungeons, Universal Dragons · · Score: 1

    Game Masters on Babcock Blvd ( http://maps.citysearch.com/location/8630254 ) has sessions. An associate of mine plays on Monday nights.

    If you can drive, it's only about 15-20 minuts from Pitt's campus.
