It seems to me that almost everywhere on the internet is like this now, I used to post and comment on various different sites, these days I very seldom bother because people are more concerned with point scoring and arguing than actual discussion. This time I wanted to comment as another fairly old UID who is intrigued to see BZIX does with /. I'm glad to see you're working on fixing sourceforge's tarnished reputation good luck with your future endeavours ^_^

I did read TFA, however your straw man has little impact on the points myself and medcalf made.

*some are desperate and lonely or perhaps just immature.

I logged in pretty much to say this but you beat me to it. Also not every pervert you bump into in WOW is a sex offender, desperate and lonely or perhaps just immature. Sadly there are all kinds of guys who think it's okay to treat girls like this online. These bans won't have any effect on that kind of behavior whatsoever though.

Sort of but not really, it's just a money grab by Microsoft. As I understand it most multiplayer games on xbox live are peer to peer and as such do not require dedicated servers, all that is required are matchmaking servers (which are what gets pulled down when a developer/publisher 'gives up' on that game's multiplayer).

I'm sorry, the Retrode doesn't have an adapter for NES carts. Feel kind of dumb for pointing it out now ^^;

I think the Retrode is just what you're looking for =)

Tonight the record was broken and there were over 60,000 players online ^_^

"The new record is 60,453 pilots online at 19:53 GMT on 6 Jun 2010."

I wonder if they will ever work on differnt versions for different TV standards such as PAL or SECAM. It would be interesting to directly compare the differences ^^;

Because you're a lurker with no other real reason to post? ^^:

I had the Saitek Eclipse for quite some time and I was really happy with it, I recently replaced it with the Cyborg mostly because I was liked the Eclipse so much. Same as yourself, my Eclipse is still fully functional, I just needed another keyboard. I really like the Cyborg, the function to turn off the windows key is handy, the backlight is even better than that of the Eclipse and the keys feel awesome. The coating on the WSAD keys and the space bar is a little odd but nothing really worth making any fuss over, also the 'touch screen' media keys can be a little akward (at least the ones for volume are and they are about the only ones I use) but other than that It's a really nice keyboard.
