you just gotta love the qualification he used âoeintentionallyâoe. lol

I live in Germany with my family and just recently read about the little 4 yr. old girl and her pat-down from the TSA. I turned around and started explaining the story to my wife when my son interrupted and asked what we were talking about and what is going on with this 4 yr. old girl.

So. What is one to do? How do you explain the depths of stupidity needed to start and fund the TSA to an 8 yr. old without him losing faith in adults? I tried. I really did. However, I only got as far as explaining that the TSA had searched the girl because she MAY have had a weapon the she got from hugging a family member while waiting to get on the plane.

Well, we all know how children are. "They say the darnedest things". This was a complete exception to the rule. He looked at me with this look on his face like he had just found out that people actually eat rancid shark meat and says "wie hirnlos". A literal translation being "How brainless". Took me really be surprise that he connected the dots that fast and came to the conclusion that the TSA needs to go.

An 8 year old boy that was born and raised and lives in Germany can look at the situation and see what needs to be done and a large portion of the adult population in the nation cannot. Sad state of affairs to say the least.

Because this movie is so fundementally horrifying that the black guy died before they even started filming.

which means you can install your game on ANY PC you are on and in case your PC should die, get shot, involved in a car wreck or what have you and all your originals are gone; you still have access to your game and do not need to buy another CD/DVD/BR because the Publisher doesn't want to give you a replacement.

Offline mode works just fine. and some games you don't even have to activate it. Now, of course there are some games that don't work offline. But most of those are multiplayer games anyway and are useless without the connection.

Yeah. A whopping 13 MB of memory used. If you have memory crunch because of that then you have other issues to address and once you do you won't be missing those 13 MB. As far as the ads go. Well, I would personally like to not have them. But it helps support the platform because the games I buy I only pay for once. Running costs do need to be covered and this is about the least painful of the options available to them. The rest of the comment I won't even bother to address. Just not worth my time explaining debugging and such.

Other than the fact that Steam has one of the best business models in the industry and that they would be completly off thier collective rocker to cut and run. Nope, no guarantee. But then again all you get from the others is a CD. And I personally make backups of my CD/DVD and Steam games. So even if they do go to the be hunting ground in the sky I will still be able to play my games in offline mode and also have backups for the future.

Think I'll stick with Steam. Thanks a bunch.

Then apple will only be releasing odd numbered versions. Fits perfectly.

So. We've come to this have we. I just knew somebody would bring this up.

At first I was like "cool. A woman on the internet". And then I was like "oh wait. We are on the internet".

No. 3.3 adds the ability to control YOUR buffer size based on packet size. This is meant to ensure that your buffer doesn't become larger than it needs to be. It would be nice to see this upstream as well, but that will take time. And as for your in-house router; you should be runing something where you control the kernel anyway. At least I do.

Xkcd strikes again. Indeed, it has come to this.

They could have left ATI the fuck alone and concentrated on doing that which they were really good at. Chip design.

Once they started messing with ATI and GPU's and automated chip design it all started to go downhill.

Here lately they are moving back to manual chip design which is why it's taking a bit to get back into gear. I only hope they can get it working before it's too late.

I am truly outraged. This is most likely one of the worst things I have read about in a while.

HOW THE FUCK did this story make frontpage on /.???
