  1. Re:So? on Facebook Blocks Users From Mentioning BugMeNot.com · · Score: 1

    Yes, I see your point, if you don't like it don't use it. But by winning about it other people notice. If it bugs enough people then Facebook will change it. And thus he will be in part responsible for the change. People are already reporting that the word is not censored anymore.

    Yeah, it's exactly as you said it, but It is good to know that this is happening, don't you agree?

    Just because it is enough for you but it doesn't mean it's enough for everybody.

  5. Re:they are baaaaaack! on Anti-Government Webmaster Shot Dead By Russian Police · · Score: 1

    You are right about US having NATO on Russia's doorstep. But what does that fact has to do with shooting the webmaster?

  6. Re:Better them than a troll on Microsoft Patents "Pg Up" and "Pg Dn" · · Score: 1

    But they did say that Linux and other open-source projects step on their patents. Around 200 they said, if I remember correctly.

  7. Re:No PC version? on New Gears of War 2 Details, No PC Version · · Score: 1

    Nah ah ah, you are trying to change what you said! Quote: "a game that's no longer making any money ported to another platform where piracy is commonplace".

    Everyone you know hasn't moded their Xbox360 and anyone I have met have the Xbox360 modded because it is economically better to just through the console away and get one than buy the games.

  8. Re:No PC version? on New Gears of War 2 Details, No PC Version · · Score: 2, Informative

    You said "no piracy", aren't there mod-chips for Xbox360?

    And you speak of the common misconception that there is no profit on the PC because people can pirate games.

    In fact I do both. HDDs and DVDs. Rendundancy!

    I have dropped DVDs on the floor several times but putting HDDs and DVDs in the microwave is not something I do in my routine, I don't know about yours :-P

  11. Re:A Grain of Salt on Nvidia 55nm Parts Are Bad Too · · Score: 1

    Nvidia has better Linux drivers. Everyone I know that used Linux blasts because they bought ATI. ATI is now opening specs so in time we might see better drivers. Can't wait for that.

    No, you are not getting my point. You can be careless with DVDs. They can sustain more. Putting DVDs in the oven is not part of my everyday routine but I have accidently dropped DVDs to the floor numberous times.

    You are an HDD man aren't you? :)

  13. Re:120GB is too much. on SSD Won't Make Sense In Laptops For Two Years · · Score: 2, Funny

    The HDD may cost less but:

    1. you can't through an HDD at the other side of the room and survive
    2. HDDs can be written again, DVDs can't which gives them the benefit in case of an error
