  1. Re:Disagree on Oblivion Polymorph Mod · · Score: 1

    I agree with this. Also, one of the reasons I really liked the game was because of the quests in the thieve's guild. For one of the quests I had to go to someone's house in the middle of the city and steal an amulet or something. After what seemed like an hour I trying, I realized I wasn't able to get the amulet through sneaking, so I just grabbed it and ran. I dashed through the city with an ever increasing number of guards chasing me. I managed to get to the city gate without the guards chasing my by using my in-game parkour skills (jumping over things and running on the tops of houses). I went through the door to outside the city, thinking I had escaped the guards, only to my dismay, finding them still chasing me. Luckily, I ended up outside the city right next to a horse stable. I threw open the gate, stole a horse, and rode away to saftey, with the slow guards far behind me. The reason I liked Oblivion is because of times like this. I love escaping from guards.

  2. Re:Maybe we'll finally get trains on Charter Flight Websites / Services? · · Score: 1

    I've heard that one of the reasons the US has dismantled trains, compared to other (European) countries, is becaues the US is so big. It's much harder to have an economically feasible train system.

    When I read Manna I thought it was more a work of horror then sci-fi kind of like Event Horizon, now it's coming true, very scary indeed.
    Now it's coming true, very tasty, indeed.
  4. Re:Iv'e used this system for a while now... on An Open Source Security Triple Play · · Score: 1
    It's actually quite useful, and not only from a security/intrusion standpoint; it reads the system logs and reports on errors. And the best thing about it is, it's self-learning!
    I for one, welcome our new, hard-to-say, tripple-ham-sandwhich overlords.
  5. Re:Terrorists on The UK's Total Surveillance · · Score: 1

    I thought the "terrorists" wanted the U.S. out of the Middle East. I didn't think they gave a rat's ass about the freedoms in our country.

  6. Re:Very simple answer on Why Are There No Highbrow Video Games? · · Score: 1
    Even if you create a true masterpiece now, it would not be taken serious until the gaming culture had its three generations. It would simply not be recognized, and in about 50 years, you'd be celebrated as the grandfather of true computer games art.

    I'll have to disagree with this. Look at Zero Wing. Look at how seriously English-speaking people take that. I think Zero Wing is the definition of "high-brow".
  7. Re:Dependency hell on What's Fedora Up To? Ask the Project Leader · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree. I prefer Gentoo and FBSD to Unbuntu and FC because you can choose what parts of the program you want to enable at compile time. Unfortunately, there is compile time.

  8. Re:Making a big deal out of it on Software Giants Seek Friends Among Hackers · · Score: 1

    He was offered a job at Microsoft, but he turned it down because he thought it would limit him.

  9. Re:poor intern on UK ISP PlusNet Accidentally Deletes 700GB of Email · · Score: 1

    Why would this be such a bad thing? rm doesn't expand "." or ".." to the current directory or the parent directory. You would only be deleting your own configuration files. Maybe rm -rf / .* would be a lot more dangerous.

    Would an intern have root access?

    I perfer the YYYY-MM-DD format because it gets sorted correctly chronologically if you sort by the ascii code of the numbers.
