  1. Gee I wonder why on Vista Use Grows as Mac OS X Stays Flat · · Score: 2, Insightful
    From TFA

    Likewise, Vista's increases have come at the expense of Windows XP and Windows 2000, both of which have dropped in usage since January.
    Ok, so some XP users upgraded to Vista. Nothing to see here.
  2. The new way to spin "net neutrality is bad" on Neutral Net Needs Twice the Bandwidth of Tiered · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Majority of people don't know what net neutrality is, they don't care, and they never will. Now, whenever the issue is brought up in the mainstream news or whatever, big business can talk about how it's half as efficient, in addition to being communist and un-American. I can only imagine how this will turn out.

  3. There won't be any "DX10 only" titles on Vista Games Cracked to Run on XP · · Score: 1

    Most of the recent titles support DX7 cards. DX10 games will at least support DX9, without a doubt.

  4. Go ahead. on Proposed Amendment Would Ban All DVD Copying · · Score: 1

    See what happens. It won't be the least bit pretty.

  5. Violence didn't exist on Manhunt 2 Banned In Britain · · Score: 1

    before video games.

  6. Re:i look at it this way on The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer · · Score: 1

    hwever, there is no financial replacement for real skill. and so any such bad player behind a high level avatar will rapidly become apparent: a joke/blockquote You are under the erroneous assumption that MMOs take skill.
  7. Offer the viewer no solace on The Sopranos Ends With a ... · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't believe there is a correct interpretation of the ending, I think that's the whole point. Offer the viewer no solace, force them to think about what they have just watched, and let them decide on what that may be, regardless of what it is.

  8. give me a break on 'Dangers of the Internet' Resolution Passed By Senate · · Score: 1

    This is a battle they must fight everyday with their children in order to keep pornographers, sexual predators and cyber-bullies at bay.

    Porn is good.
    Family members are much more likely to engage in sexual abuse than some weirdo from the internet.
    Cyber-bullies: Internet. Serious Business.
  9. 10 Garbage Answers on The 10 "Inconvienient Truths" of File Sharing · · Score: 1
    I'm just gonna highlight a few that really bothered me.

    5. Reduced revenues for record companies mean less money available to take a risk on "underground" artists and more inclination to invest in "bankers" like American Idol stars.

    The reduced revenues are not a result of piracy at all. Also, record companies don't "take risks" when they sign artists, they take them for everything they are worth, and then spit the crumbs back.

    7. The anti-copyright movement does not create jobs, exports, tax revenues and economic growth-it largely consists of people pontificating on a commercial world about which they know little.

    No, it largely consists of people who believe the notion of copyright & intellectual property is morally wrong.

    9. Most people know it is wrong to file-share copyright infringing material but won't stop till the law makes them, according to a recent study by the Australian anti-piracy group MIPI.

    What the fuck?

    10. P2P networks are not hotbeds for discovering new music. It is popular music that is illegally file-shared most frequently.

    Oh boy, if this isn't a logical fallacy if I've ever seen one!
  10. Re:Frak everything, we're doing 80 blades on Intel Shows Off 80-core Processor · · Score: 1

    Not even close.

    Adding more blades to a razor doesn't have much of an effect on "performance", but increasing the core count on a processor theoretically raises processing power exponentially.

  11. #0 on 10 Anti-Phishing Firefox Extensions · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Please -- Mount Man on Syncing Music Players In Linux? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Mounting won't do it for a lot of players. I have a Samsung YH-925 and although it functions as a UMS, when files are copied to the player they are not indexed, meaning you can't play any music without syncing it through a program like Windows Media Player.

  13. #6 on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The average computer user doesn't know what Linux is.

  14. Russia or Russians? on Russia Accused of Cyber-War Against Estonia · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are they accusing the Russian government of perpetrating this attack, or are they stating that this attack is coming from Russian soil?

  15. Another Benchmark/Review for KillerNIC on 'Killer' Network Card Actually Reduces Latency · · Score: 1

    http://hardware.gotfrag.com/portal/story/34683/

    The benchmarking starts on page 5.

  16. How? on Greek Blog Aggregator Arrested · · Score: 1

    How is this illegal?

  17. Re:no gg on A First Look At Gaim 2.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Gadu-Gadu is supported in 2.0

  18. The SAT essay is a game on Bloggers or High Schoolers, Where is the Literary Talent? · · Score: 1

    The essay portion of the SAT is a game. It takes very little talent, and there isn't much room for creativity when the essays are scored based on how well they conform to the "standard" 5 paragraph essay format.

  19. Re:I live in Dekalb County on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    No president has ever been impeached.... why is that? The system doesn't work as intended.

    Clinton and Andrew Johnson were both impeached. You mean no president has ever been removed from office.

  20. Re:Bogus on How Steve Jobs Got Green Overnight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Additionally, they make no evidence or justification on how they establish their weightings of their criteria to determine ranking.

    *Additionally, it's bullshit.

  21. Re:Which of these on Ten Most Used BitTorrent Sites Compared · · Score: 1

    Which of these top 10 sites focus on non-copyrighted material? You know, the stuff that the torrent fans bring up as the reason they use bittorrent?
     
    I don't know, but how many of them would not be running an OS right now if it weren't for one of the top 10 sites? And I'm not just talking about Windows.

  22. Re:Is there really a market for this? on Gaming Tourneys Coming to U.S. Television · · Score: 1

    You have obviously never heard of events like WCG, CPL, ESWC, CSA, WSVG, CEVO, KODE5, Lethal Gamers, Dreamhack, the list goes on. Actually, you probably have never heard of Intel, AMD, ATI, Nvidia, Steelpad, Icemat, Sennheiser, PNY, EVGA, etc. That's a list of a few of the companies that sponsor gaming organizations. Gaming is NOT predominantly a solo even, as the #1 game at these tournaments is usually Counter Strike 1.6. Go take a trip down to Dallas and check out CPL Winter, you won't be bored.

  23. Zuckerberg not Zuckerman on Facebook Scrambles after Unexpected Privacy Fumble · · Score: 1

    Read below for Zuckerman's Open Letter to the community.

    His name is Zuckerberg.

  24. Past information shouldn't be logged... on Facebook Changes Provoke Uproar Among Users · · Score: 1

    Instead of being a bulletin board for people to post their current information, Facebook now has created a convenient log of every little action a person does, giving an in-depth look at one's past as well as current public information.

  25. Let's get it on! on EU Prepared to Fine Microsoft $2.5 Million Per Day · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Greed-driven Microsoft vs the avaricious European Union, FIGHT!
