  • On the post: The Trend Of Killing News Comment Sections Because You 'Just Really Value Conversation' Stupidly Continues

    TecDirtBag ( profile ), 01 Jun, 2017 @ 01:07am

    Most sites just wind up either having trolls or paid shills where two or three people BS each other all the way down the page preventing other commenters from getting any words in edge wise.

    Then 1 OF the 3 BS people will say "Look I've had enough with your false accusations and will not say this again I am thru!" then the next day he is back doing it some more!

    Re: Re: Re:

    A lot of games that used to work on Win 7 due that now. I think it's part of MS trying to cripple 7 to make you get win 10 out of frustration.

    A game I'd like to see working again is some of the Dream Catcher/Cryo Interactive games. I would like New Adventures Of The Time Machine to work again.

    Re: Re: The responsibility is on Microsoft...

    MS is a pure theft company. You only have yourself to blame if you get ripped off by them.

    Re:

    I would love it if a lot of my old kids games would work like the Magic School Bus Solar System game or Putt Putt Travels Thru Time.etc without requiring Scumm VM to operate.

    Everybody's solution is to use Scumm VM but why can't MS make some kind of emulation built in to emulate 32 bit stuff properly with built in drivers or support for vintage drivers?

    Re: very little sympathy

    That would normally work as a practice until there is nothing left that DOESN'T require DRM. Pretty soon YOU will be required to be online DRM to access your personal bank account which belongs to the US Feds.

    Re: Re: dumped nintendo long ago

    Buying a console supports that. You buy it and Nintendo thinks it's okay to use that money to sue sites instead of encouraging creative thinkers.

    I can understand if a rom hack is a direct rip off of a game then there is no imagination on the part of the designer of that homebrew game.

    But the government should protect us! We need more policing for those alley ways! :) More spending must mean better results!

    Oh Government please protect us from our stupid mistakes!

    Re:

    It's called Crony capitalism. These companies are too big to fail and need to be busted up. It's not just Nintendo that's the problem but the whole global elite system.

    Which is why a certain President has had it with the whole gambit or so he claims.

    Re: Comments reveal their lies!

    We came really close to that scenario then they likely pulled out of that idea because too many people were aware of the Ukraine crisis that was happening at the time.

    This is exactly what big business fears. The people rising above their greedy ways. The Liberals have caved into the big business and are totally lost like the counterpart republicans.

    Both sides are wrong. It's good to have energy independence and having a pipeline is good but saying it's *leaky* without any proof of any actual leaks is not good. It's downright fraud.

    Now show a history of pipeline leaks will be good to back up your claims of *Keystone Pipeline kills mother nature* then you will be taken more seriously not just sound bites from the media.

    Sound bites need to be banned as a good first step. Either put the whole thing up or just don't do it.

    I've notice when Vista came out there seemed to be more of a demand for older 16/32 bit software to be compatible which is what lead to Windows 7 as a *soft* attempt and lead to the scene of Virtual Box/Microsoft PC which neither works on Windows 10 very well.

    The latter not at all.

    Windows 10 the problems of the visuals are not the issue for me but making software work right. Who cares how pretty an OS is if there isn't any software written for it to make you want it.

    I'm not surprised Go Cyber lost against the monopolies. This is what Trump is or should be about busting up too big to fail corporations to give little guys a chance.

    Now that Trump has seen what wiretapping is like *did he already know before?* hopefully it's a wake up call for him on our privacy rights being ate up.

    What we are seeing now used to be only war time measures when we are under direct attack or the threat of a direct attack.

    Most newspapers are artificially held up by the government in too big to fail methods.

    It's time to let it go! That is why most Conservatives AND Liberals hate Trump because he has had it with it as he has seen what failed business looks like and doesn't want America to be that way.

    It's more like we value your liberal echo chamber. If you don't agree you don't deserve to comment and are a terrorist!

    Re: Re: Re: Pulitzer and advertising

    The real problem is the ads are designed for touch screens and if you don't have one it will make the whole page jump up and down because it thinks your "hovering* over it.

    Most news sites are anti mouses and most mouses you buy are actually older ones they stopped making new ones because the assumption is everybody is for mobile only.

    Does anybody remember in the *Bush* era you didn't have paywalls? They thought that digital ads would cover it and it worked until smartphones came out and the economy died after 08.

    Also the news sites were easier to navigate instead of being smartphone UI which looks like a kids crayola crayon set.

    Often I feel I am going to the same site over and over so gave up on news sites and stick to alt news which is now being shut down by Liberals as *fake news*. God!

    I hope this isn't part of the one world religion coming.

    Re: Re: Why should News sites have comments?

    That sounds like a wonderful invention. A way for readers to engage with the topic via electronic means.

    God I hate globalism. They pretend technology doesn't exist unless it serves them then call it something new that's usually a remake of something old but redefined to suit their establishment.

    Great Mayhem Awakening my ass!
