Comment Windows 10 automatic install (Score 2) 507

Tell Microsoft to stop pushing patches which install Windows 10 without my agreeing upon it, and I'll let Windows update run. No, I suppose Microsoft stopped with the whole Windows 10 thing a few months back, but there's now a trust issue I personally have to get past. The fact of the matter is, I don't trust Microsoft anymore.

Comment Forks and knives.. (Score 1) 130

could well be used by the criminal organization to torture and/or murder fellow citizens. Therefore I say we should ban the use of all forks and knives until proper surveillance on forks and knives can be obtained. I'm tired of putting forks and knives into the hands of our criminals!

Firefighters Let House Burn Because Owner Didn't Pay Fee 2058

Dthief writes "From MSNBC: 'Firefighters in rural Tennessee let a home burn to the ground last week because the homeowner hadn't paid a $75 fee. Gene Cranick of Obion County and his family lost all of their possessions in the Sept. 29 fire, along with three dogs and a cat. "They could have been saved if they had put water on it, but they didn't do it," Cranick told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. The fire started when the Cranicks' grandson was burning trash near the family home. As it grew out of control, the Cranicks called 911, but the fire department from the nearby city of South Fulton would not respond.'"

Comment Fox News/MSNBC (Score 1) 2044

I'm tired of hearing the opinions of Fox & friends as well as MSNBC. The stations call themselves news stations, but really their nothing but pundits. If either one really wanted to be a REAL new channel, they would report on both sides of the debate and LEAVE IT UP TO THE VIEWERS to form THEIR OWN OPINION!

Dungeons and Dragons Online Impressions 292

Tabletop roleplaying has been a fixture in my life since I was ten. You can probably imagine my enthusiasm when I heard of the joint venture between Asheron's Call developer Turbine and D&D publisher Wizards of the Coast. The goal: A Massively Multiplayer game set in a D&D campaign. Keith Baker's Eberron was tapped for the gameworld's flavour, with the d20 ruleset providing the skeleton on which to create the title's mechanics. The result is Dungeons and Dragons Online (DDO), which has been in the works for about two years now. DDO is faithful in ways I wouldn't have thought possible, but still manages to raise conflicting opinions for me. DDO has real-time traps and combat, beautiful graphics, and still fails to interest me on any level of my gamer soul. Read on for my impressions of a most perplexing MMOG.
