    Legal ramifications of support via favors

    I started a new job with a new company in November. Im doing their software in a completely unrelated field and using completely different technology and resources, so there's virtually zero connection between my former employer and my new employer. I had previously worked as a contractor for...

    WoW and Gear Score

    Only dummy noobs care about gear and gear score. I played wow in a high end raiding guild for 4 years. I quit shortly after we killed ToGC on hardmode because it was getting stupidly easy and boring. Take it from someone who knows about high end raiding, Gear score means Jack Shit to anyone...

    [Playstation Network] Fee?

    I think they are just trying to find and market a "gold membership" similar to what Microsoft has, although I think you get more out of a regular account on the PSN, than what you get out of a silver membership on XBL. As long as online multiplayer remains free, then I don't care. Having a multi...

    Trying WoW, epic fail at applying patches

    I don't think Leonard Nimoy, or his character Spock, would be capable of such blatant maliciousness. FYI, I don't think this will fix your issue, but you should install every expansion disc before you start logging in. Otherwise you'll be patching things that are already versioned into the...

    President to Take Questions via YouTube

    Because a lot of us believe that current government services are very badly administered and wasteful in their budgeting. We think that private industry has a built in incentive to do better administrative work, otherwise they will go out of business, while the government cannot go out of...

    Ubisoft Games Will Require Constant Internet Connection

    Ubisoft is also the developer who took a no CD crack from a popular hacking group "RELOADED" and used it in their no CD patch for R6V2.

    Google Toolbar Violates Privacy Policy

    Is it cynical that I just don't believe a word they say? It's not that I'm calling him a liar but I've seen how semantics get twisted in the convoluted chain between the developers, the management and the marketers, and the PR people.

    Assassin's Creed II PC date/requirements/details

    Ubisoft can kiss my ass. Also, I consider all you retards, who bought MW2 for $60, as responsible parties for any $60 games in the near future.

    IBM Sets New Record in Magnetic Tape Data Density

    Even home users with the most data hoarding habits can be better served by external hard drives. This type of tape media is for huge businesses where every bit of lost data represents hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    IBM Sets New Record in Magnetic Tape Data Density

    I'm guessing the average consumer doesn't have a need for this kind of tape backup. Even business critical data, on an end user basis, can be backed up to network storage, which gets backed up on tape. A home user could be using a tape backup but doesn't even need 1 terabyte, let alone a library...

    Obama Wants Answers for China’s Cyberattacks on Google

    Im pretty sure China doesn't give a rats ass what Obama has to say. Obama shouldn't act like such a tough guy when everyone knows he's a pussy cat on foreign policy. That being said, anything to get the news off of health care is a good thing for him, he probably just needs another opportunity...

    Fallout: New Vegas

    Wow Obsidian and Bethesda. That's going to be interesting. Edit: I think Dragon age made it apparent that Obsidian taught Bioware a few things. It felt like Bioware borrowed a lot of what Obsidian added to NWN.

    Google Is Now Apple’s Greatest Enemy

    You made a good point. Also I could Google and Microsoft competing against each other on the netbook and notebook markets, while Apple and Google slug it out on the mobile phone OS market. The point is that the business relationships are not very cut and dry, and not enough to distinguish MS and...

    Modern Warfare 2 dedicated servers... who needs them! so I thought..

    No, I'm saying that they closed possibilities of sharing map packs from within the community, so that if you want to play new maps and mods, you have to get them directly from IW.net. Also, hardly anyone would use IW.net if you had dedicated servers to play on, so their platform for distributing...

    EMI Blocks YouTube Video Embedding

    Sort of depends if you like to listen to new music. I keep finding myself listening to the same albums I listened to in high school. Pink Floyd, Megadeth, Cream/Clapton, etc... Every once in a while i buy a new rock album, listen to it for a week, and go back to my old music. *shrug* :p

    Google Is Now Apple’s Greatest Enemy

    I think this is making it sound more dramatic than it actually is. "Join forces" is something that happens in comic books and saturday morning cartoons -- not in real life. The reasons businesses find partnerships has more to do with dollars and cents, and happens on the basis of per project or...

    Modern Warfare 2 dedicated servers... who needs them! so I thought..

    Even if the matchmaking is working for some people, it's a poor substitute for dedicated servers, which were omitted for inexplicable reasons (to make you pay $$ for DLC). Matchmaking and dedicated servers aren't mutually exclusive as proven by L4D by valve. There's no reason (except...

    Gamestop is already out of Mass Effect 2 Special Edition preorders :(

    I won't argue with you, I just think we have fundamentally different ways of thinking about the value of virtual assets. I am the type of person who will not even buy a collectors edition of anything because I think that it's a waste of money, concept art and plastic shinies are not a compelling...

    White House Launches iPhone Application

    Our tax dollars hard at work. We needed another source of news to inform us what the Whitehouse says and does -- and this one comes directly from the president's staff so we know that the news will be accurate and unbiased. So that's great. I recon that this will come in very handy during the...

    Don't pre-order games from GS that's like ordering booze from a homeless guy. You guys should realize that every Walmart/Target/Best Buy is going to have copies on the shelf on the day of release.

    IE Patch For Google Attack Flaw Coming

    Updating browsers works great for home users but lots of people are trapped with IE6 in the business world. Although, part of the blame lies with business who refuse to step into the current decade.

    The people who bought this game, knowing the lack of dedicated server support, are screwing up PC gaming.

    MW2: Now that the dust has settled..

    I didn't buy it, and I don't intend to. It doesn't seem worth the money. Queue the people who say I can't judge a game unless I own it.
