  1. Sure will on Build an $800 Gaming PC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not the same core as the 3GHz models or anything, oh wait

  2. Re:Before people start yelling "make new shit"... on Metroid Prime Trilogy Being Updated For the Wii, Due In August · · Score: 1

    Prime 1 is released as a "New Play Control" title over in Japan already. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_de_Asobu

  3. "Bugs" fixed on Metroid Prime Trilogy Being Updated For the Wii, Due In August · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The games will most probably have all of the great tricks fixed that made Prime such an amazing game. Dash jumping, triple bomb jump, rapid fire missiles, and so on. It was great to take the game engine to its limits without technically cheating. Not only that, Prime1/2 had an amazing control scheme, 3 just used the wii remote as a gimmick IMO. For info check. http://www.metroid2002.com/home.php

  4. Yeah, okay. on NY Bill Proposes Fat Tax On Games, DVDs, Junk Food · · Score: 1

    And within the last, hell, decade even - millions of people suddenly gained a "brain problem" which requires they eat twice as much food as a normal person and not move. Whatever.

  5. Unemployed. on What Do You Call People Who "Do HTML"? · · Score: 1

    n/t

  6. Mod parent up. on Game Developers On Gold Selling · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Very accurate post above. RuneScape is a shell of the game it once was, even if you didn't think much of it before. Free trading was removed and replaced with a system where Jagex decides the values of items - you can no longer "give" a friend anything of value, nor market items properly which was a huge feature of RS for some people.

  7. Re:Irrelevant on Bell's Own Data Exposes P2P As a Red Herring · · Score: 1

    It's not advertised as a service with limited resources. Your costs aren't my problem. If you promise me unlimited access, that's what I get.

  8. Re:yet another on Man Fired When Laptop Malware Downloaded Porn · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Production (!), and distribution.

  9. Unlimited... on SMS 4x More Expensive Than Data From Hubble · · Score: 0

    As long as we like your data usage ?

  10. Buy the game and download it. on PC Gaming Suggestions for Console-like Fun? · · Score: 1

    Is it illegal? Grey area. But can you honestly consider it immoral at all? Nintendo don't sell PC versions of their games, they never did.

  11. License restrictions on Sony To Launch PS3 Video Download Service · · Score: 1

    That's if they allow Argentinian consoles to use the service, a lot of internet sites restrict viewing/purchases by region :/

  12. Re:Oddly enough, this info is hard to find on A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 1

    First result for "installing programs ubuntu" - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware Right at the top, it links "aunt tillie" users to the GUI version. http://www.monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ Synaptic involves _LESS_ interaction than ANY windows installer i've ever seen, AND is more descriptive. It's just "different". Different does not mean unfriendly. Aside from that. I honestly don't see how "apt-get install program" is master hacker like or complex in any way. It fills the "journeyman" void for me. Closer to "master hacker" is downloading the .deb and using dpkg, i would consider that relatively complex. The users that consider apt-get confusing, are the ones that will blank face any step-by-step guide for anything. For those people, synaptic and the GUI exist.

  13. Driver problems on A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 1

    This is mainly because the video driver manuf's couldn't give two shits about user friendliness on Linux.

    But yeah, Ubuntu has made great strides. The installer is arguably more user friendly than Windows - and once you're up and running it's essentially the same with less bugs :)

    Problems with Linux now, and for a few years now, have been with "obscure" hardware (dual monitor support is hardly joe sixpack, though it should be more user friendly). Which is a massive problem that won't be fixed until manufacturers decide Linux is worth coding for. With Vista looking the way it is, perhaps soon that will happen. Wouldn't count on it just yet though.

  14. recursion on Testing Einstein's 'Spooky Action at a Distance' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    so, let's say Beam A and B are split from one beam.. you change beam A, B changes before you changed A so then B's change should change A before you changed it and it would recur ... so how would you be able to measure a change that would effectively be happening in an infinitely small amount of time?

  15. This took a while to come out on "Tubes" Senator Being Investigated For Corruption · · Score: 1

    Must be because of all the commercial activity.. enormous amounts of material.

  16. So what happens when... on An eBay For Hackers · · Score: 4, Funny

    A sold vulnerability ends up being used against the site?

  17. Re:2, 4, 6 8... on Analyst Says Blu-ray DRM Safe For 10 Years · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming he thinks that people would rather go the easy route and record with a camera / rip from HDDVD. If you see a door with 6 locks or a door with 1 and you know the content behind them is identical which do you go for?

  18. Re:his argument seems flawed on Boston University Student Challenges RIAA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If i leave my car outside unlocked are you free to take it? Of course this is different because data can be duplicated, but just because something is there doesn't mean it has to be taken.

  19. Re:Page 115 on Twenty Five Intel CPU Coolers Tested · · Score: 2, Informative

    Some people buy OEM to save cash, and a cheap cooler helps them with that

    THERE'S AIDS IN THE POOL

  21. Re:So... on id Software Working on New Title · · Score: 5, Informative

    id has had a history of releasing multi-platform, hell id is one of the only major producers i know about that actually open sources its engines after they have profited enough from them. quake3, doom3, quake4 and probably previous games all run on linux, and the client came pretty quickly after release.

  22. Re:Interesting. on Blizard Sues Virtual Gold Seller · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's not 'a player'. Peons4hire and similar businesses have many players working to farm up and advertise the gold, if you've ever played WoW you'd know it's not just one account :p

  23. Re:Prisoner's Dilemma on Improving GPS Systems with Traffic Flow Data · · Score: 1

    The traditionally busy routes will no longer be busy due to the GPS reporting them as busy.

  24. Nonstandard hardware on The Clueless Newbie Rides Again · · Score: 1

    Really the only problems left in linux for a damn while now have been drivers, and there's nothing that can be done about that a lot of the time.

    Dells preloaded with Ubuntu will have drivers already working, so the problem is.. irrelevant ;)

  25. Re:But... Guild Wars is basically free.... on RuneScape Passes 1 Million Subscribers · · Score: 1

    It's java. And RuneScape is one of the biggest examples of gameplay beating graphics, something draws a lot of people to the game. £3.20 doesn't exactly break the bank.
