Great job, Blizzard. by outphase84in Diablo

I get them failing at launch, I get that we should have expected this. The problem is, they lied to us. They told us it would be ready at 12:01. It wasn't. They knew how many copies they presold. They knew what would happen, they failed. No matter what you say, it still makes them look bad.

I much prefer West Coast Armory to Wade's. Newer, nicer staff, much nicer facility. Ladie's nights are Mondays' there.

A plea to Gunnit. by [deleted]in guns

[–]xijio -2 points-1 points ago

The sexism on this subreddit is aweful. My fiance was getting into guns with me, but now she pretty much resents them due to the "Men only" attitude a lot of guys have about them. This generality holds true on reddit. When she posted, she got back sarcastic responses like get back in the kitchen, or to improve arm strength make sure to give your BF handjobs. Come on guys, be respectful. Just adding my $0.02...

How do tech sites get their demo products for reviewing? by prodigal27in gadgets

[–]xijio 8 points9 points ago

I've run two techsites (co-owner of SysReview.com and owner of VibrantLogic.com; both now defunct). Between ~2001-2003 I would contact tech companies's PR departments and ask for review hardware.

I worked with nVidia, ATI, Asus, MSI, Microsoft, Leatherman, Antec and a whole bunch of other companies over the handful of years I did it. These companies would send me products to review and I'd do my editorial and then ask if they wanted the product back, 90% of the time they said no.

Roughtly ~2003 somebody came in and ruined all the fun. People started selling "THE TRICK TO GETTING ALL THE FREE COMPUTER HARDWARE YOU WANT" VCD's on ebay. The "trick" was to register a domain that sounded techy, set up a CMS and ask hardware companies for review units.

The hardware companies started getting inundated with requests from random bozos and so they all built a small list of 'trusted review sites' that was hard to get on. When I was at SysReview, we were part of the "Maximum PC Network" which helped a ton in credibility with HW manufacturers, but when SysReview shut its doors and I started VibrantLogic, it was pretty much too late to get on "the list" so we just gave up.

Two handguns found in carry-ons at Sea-Tac ... who ARE these people??? by russ_walkerin Seattle

[–]xijio 0 points1 point ago

Most people that I know that carry a gun would never brag about it. That defeats the point of concealed carry :p

[–]xijio 2 points3 points ago

I think you're crazy. There are more people that carry guns than you know. Some do carry to feel badass and I have no respect for those people.

Many carry for personal defense only and refuse to use it for anything less than a situation where their (or their loved ones) life is in immediate danger. I know someone who was attacked by someone on PCP and didn't use the weapon he was carrying because he found the best strategy to run. It worked, the man was later found and arrested.

Don't judge people because you have a different opinion. Those that chose to carry and do so legally and responsibly are perfectly within their rights. What they're doing will never affect you (unless you try to kill them) and you'll likely never know the difference if they're carrying concealed.

This. These aren't bad people (necessarily). They just made uninformed decisions.

Also, gun ownership is growing nationwide. Also, keep in mind, not everyone bringing a gun on a plane has malicious intent. People might be genuinely ignorant of the rules. There is a lot of mysticism about air travel and the laws that pertain it and some people are less seasoned travelers than others.
