Cool, thanks for the tip man, I appreciate it. Not a problem. Also since the show just on the air, check torrent sites. Since we have fair dealing up here in Canada, posting torrents of it is legal. |

Bummer, it doesn't stream outside of Canada, and I was looking forward to check that out, as it sounds really interesting. I'll have to find another way to watch it.
CBC is getting as bad as the BBC especially since they both take public funds for broadcasting. You can proxy in by the way, it should work. The CBC is pretty crappy at blocking most of them. |

PC gamers use headsets, many of which are USB. Speakers almost never enter into it. High-end headphones (which so far as I've seen are never USB) even require more juice than puny sound cards can muster, thus necessitating external amplification. Only the best of the best sound cards have hot enough outputs (or a dedicated headphone amp) for premium headphones. What? I use a Xonar DS(PCI) in a 5.1 surround setup. The only time I use a headset is if I'm playing a MMO and I'm in a raid otherwise even then I'm using my normal speaker setup. The majority of my gaming is a 'solitary pursuit' because I deal with people all day and want to get away from my work, not to mention people.
There's no shortage of good but cheaply priced speaker setups out there. Headphones work, but they're not really all that great especially if you're hearing is sensitive. |

I disagree. They have somewhat badly documented rules the way the site itself functions(votes/dupes/kills/promotes), but w/ comments I don't feel any pressure to follow "their group think".
I'm sure Ant(#1 or #2 users there) knows videosift better than anybody and can chime in... You're welcome to disagree with anything you think. Here's some examples:
If you make comments that that disagree with a video. Massive downvotes of comment. Attacks against poster, from personal insults to threats of violence. Someone who sits on the outside looking in, is much easier to see groupthink than someone who's already there. Especially since VS has been on a heavy anti-police, pro-anarchist kick for the last few months. It's an echo chamber in the comments. |

Oh yeah. There's one like that at my doctors office, and another at the testing clinic that does blood draws. The one that does the blood we call the vampire. Because she can never hit a vein and when she does, you swear you're going to hemorrhage out. Last time I got a blood test done, I had a bruise the size of a baseball on my arm for 3 weeks.
Oh Canada!  |

As a comparison, I'm sure you are familiar with http://videosift.com. I feel that community there is much more accepting and friendly to newcomers. If that kind of attitude would spread here, I think we would get a lot more participating members. Videosift is so unfriendly, and so attack heavy if you don't toe their line, their political line, and follow their group think that people will send you emails and attack you privately.
Sure here on BN, we get into politics, we snipe at each other. But you know, I've see every asshat myself included still poke fun at someone I don't always get alone with.  Over there? Nope. You will bend to their will. |

Damn it blue. The majority of sites these days are quickly becoming idiot villes. Look at /. for example, one of the great tech sites 10 years ago is now little more than a steaming pile of crap. The techie stuff is good imo.
Also, 2.0 witcher stuff is live now 744mb patch. |

I love reading the comments trashing the American legal system, when this case is being handled by the the courts in Sweden... Guess what... Corporations have gamed the systems in Europe too! Sure. The difference is how copyrights, trademarks, and infringements are handled. Bethesda needs to be able to show that "Scrolls" is a unique and identifiable part of their brand, and someone else using that word not only damages it but degrades it. That would be akin to coke or pepsi both claiming the word "pop". |

I do not think he understands what MAKING means. Didn't you know? There's little Steam Daemons that come out of your computer hardware to whip those of us who speak, read and write more than one language. They threaten to vivisect you if you don't submit translations at least once a week. |

You should be mad! Nothing will happen until everyone is mad enough to force Congress to repeal the FAA. I couldn't care. I live outside the US, and as such your laws have no impact on me. Neither do contracts, or ToS, or EULA's. Though I find it rather amusing that people don't do anything about it there, and they say Canadians are good at rolling over and doing nothing.
By the way, the quote option helps. Makes it easier on the eyes. |
