Reply to lulzSec Hacks Arizona Police: Now the Angry Gamers Have Gone Political in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

You know, I have been one to think that there are times when I wouldn't mind having a "Punisher" kind of person running around taking out really bad people that the law otherwise fails to punish due to loopholes, mistakes and simple payoffs. I have also wondered why hackers never actually go after companies and people who really do bad things to this world. Then I think about how everyone has a different idea what justice really is and I can't help but take back these idea when i think

Reply to My Most Wanted PC Games for 2011 in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Battlefield 3 will hopefully make it to my PC someday after it's released although i really don't want to make this game have to suffer at the hands of my dual core processors. Maybe once I get a quad core that can handle it better I will get it. I am also keeping an eye on COD MW3, lets see if they don't screw this one up too.

Wow, some of those wallpapers are actually fantastic. Not too impressed with the icons considering some very talented skinners here on WC can make some awesome looking icons that make those icons look like Win98 friendly.

Reply to Conservative Versus Liberal in Politics Stardock Forums

I find it rather interesting that both Blacks and Hispanics, ethnic groups who's culture is based strongly around religion, are normally associated with Democrats and/or Liberals considering not only is this party related to the slave owners of the past but also tends to be very much against religion in general even when it comes to your right to freedom of religion. In a world where the Gov't runs and controls nearly everything in your society, there is no way freedom of religion could ever

Reply to No NFL season means loss of $$ in Sports & Leisure Stardock Forums

I find it hard to believe that we would allow a season of NFL to simply go by down the drain when this country was willing to shell out millions to save companies and banks that could have survived the downfall we have been experiencing for the past few years without the help. It would be a shame as football is the only sport I actually watch. That would definitely ruin the year.

Duke Nukem Forever, what’s the big deal? in Gaming JoeUser Forums

What’s with all the hype? The game looks like it sucks. All this time and this is the best they could come up with? Even the graphics look crappy for a game being developed for this long and with all the graphics that games like MW3 and Battlefield 3 have. Can anyone point out what’s the deal? Does anyone really think it’s worth buying? I surely don’t. To be honest I’m sick of the advertising, all the attention from every tech site I visit, good and bad. I think this game will bomb and only t

Reply to Netflix sued for lack of closed captions in Business Stardock Forums

Interesting. Is there a law that actually make it illegal in some way to provide video entertainment without subtitles? this would be news to me. I don't see why netflix should be sued for not providing subtitles. Sure, make a demand, boycott them or something but sue? This is a rather interesting concept. I have never been to a theater where the movie has closed captioning except during non-English language in the movie. How come they are not suing theaters as well? I personally find them an

Reply to SkyDrive Gets a HTML5 Makeover in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Considering how much we use Office software at work, I am a bit surprised Skydrive is blocked here. It's a shame. I have used it before at home but honestly have not really made it a bigger part of my daily use. I have lost several files before due to negligence on my part on my PC. I should be using these free 25 Gbs to avoid this. Thanks for the info.

Had never tried Pale Moon before. Just took a look at it and can't see any difference except it's called Pale Moon. Can anyone point to any difference they can see? I am very interested in this new browser. As for Firefox 5. I have always been use to the idea of a new version to be different from the previous version. This is not a new version, this is just an update with a new number. I find this insulting and shameful. Trying to trick people into thinking they are getting a

Reply to PC nonsense … and politics in Current Events Stardock Forums

This is not meant to insult women in any way, but one thing I have learned thru out the years is that most women seem to want a good man but always end up picking the wrong guy in the hopes of having their cake and eat it too. The same thing happens with politics, everyone wants what they think is best for our country, sometimes they will ignore the obvious bad things about politicians in the hopes they can have their cake and eat it too. I tend to lean Republican not because I believe

LOL, I wear my Geekness with pride. Most people joke about my obsession with computers but when their precious, expensive hardware starts acting up on them, my Geekness is almost as desirable as the device they purchased. Considering their wages I don't expect them to be experts. But it would be nice if they at least knew a bit about the products they have in their area. it would seem logical that when hiring someone they might ask them what their knowledge of tech is a perhaps then pu

Best Buy get’s “Newegg in the face” in Gadgets & Electronics JoeUser Forums

How many commercials does it take to get Best Buy mad enough to send a “ Cease and Desist ” letter to Newegg.com? According to Newegg and Maximum PC, just one. It seems that Best Buy felt “concerned” and “offended” when they found out that Newegg’s new advertising campaign seemed to be taking shots at the Big Electronics chain. <img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px" height="74"
