Dynamo creates mind-catching new names for companies and products. 
We provide new naming options for your venture, packaged with the intuitive dot-com (ie. Honda.com rather than HondaAutomobiles.com), and screened for trademark.
We could use them, lol
 
Yeah, right
Dynamo squats domains so they have to pay us extra!
 
4:12 PM
don't seem to be the squatters
they just protect the name of the squatters themselves
 
no, I think their business model is
1. register cool names
2. put them in a pool
3. help people choose between the pool
4. sell from the pool
 
doubt it
it says "Whois Protection"
 
look,
 
My domain isn't registered under my name either
 
Q. I have my new name picked, so I want to start protecting mark rights and getting free press immediately. What can Dynamo do for me?
A. If you've got a web location ready, we can set up a splash page displaying your new Dynamo brand, with a .gif logo, multiple live emails, and the company info you'd like posted. We can usually set this up the same day you request it. [...]
 
4:14 PM
as I said
they just protect the name of the squatters themselves
 
except quicksave.com does not have such a page
 
so it isn't the case
they're just performing Whois protection
 
yes, of their own name pool
 
how do you know that

Help identifying an old NES (or perhaps SNES?) platformer

AubergineI'd give this a more informative title, but this one is really hazy for me. I recall playing this when I was in elementary school, so we're talking early 1990s (unless my memory fails me). You were some man running through what I recall to be a cave. The cave had various levels which I...

DJ Hero statistics

lavonardoDoes DJ Hero provide statistics regarding the progress of the collectible goals? In other words, is there a way to figure out how many hot starts you have had thus far or how many scratches are still to be completed on the way to the Super Scratchin' achievement?

well I really don't know, it's going to be a problem anyway.
I can speculate, can I not?
 
doesn't have to be
 
How can you tell your version is right?
 
sure you can, but don't assume worst case
 
4:16 PM
not assuming worst case, it seems to be in line with what they do -- branding
 
"well I really don't know, it's going to be a problem anyway." that's assuming worst case
 
if it is like you put it, there's going to be this extra middleman
who is "committed" to "total privacy"
 
there's always going to be a squatter in the middle for a squatted domain
"Your email and contact data will not be sold or used for any purpose other than communicating with you concerning a name project you've initiated,"
In this case it's "concerning a name project [they]'ve initiated"
anyway, I gotta go now

Does anyone have or know of a list of PSN game release dates?

Is there a command line command to mute (or squelch) a player in Diablo 2?

ZemmWhen playing Ladder games without a password, the game gets the same few spammers joining, spamming, leaving, and rejoining every few minutes. What I'd really like is to be able to stop them from joining at all, but I don't think that's possible. I know I can squelch them from the party window...

Is there a command line command to mute (or squelch) a player in Diablo 2?

what does squelch actually mean? :/
 
ignore ?
mute is to stop receiving chats right
 
hmm... xn--ba-rzuadaibfa.com might also be an option.

Well, the issue is getting new users used to the SE system. The private beta wasn't that bad because many of the users were trilogy vets... but now...

are they all new users?
 
It would be nice to have specific close messages. I'd vote for "This is not a forum"
 
or are there some veterans too?
 
I don't see a lot of veterans aside from maybe rlb.
 
I wouldn't doubt there being some, but most of them have under 100 rep and you get 100 from having 200 or more at any of the sites.

Valve did it again, first Counterstrike, then Portal (Nabucalar Drop(sp?)) and now Alien Swarm.
 
I got Portal for free too
 
Heh, I paid for the full Orange Box, back in 07
back when TF2 was fun
 
it's not fun any more?
 
Not IMHO
 
got it in the orange box, together with Half life 2 + ep1 + ep2 and TF2... (and I didn't own them at that time.... shame...) So I call that a pretty deal!
 
9:00 PM
It's become like an MMORPGFPS now
 
I bought it for a lan party, then a little while later it became free.
Never got into TF2, never played Half Life, but Portal was awesome
 
you bought portal for a lan party?
but it's single-player!
 
Never Played half life? You're missing out!
 
I think we bought the orange box a year late, but it's still unopened
 
I bought the Orange Box for the lan party for TF2.
 
9:02 PM
omg, play half life please
 
I had to play Half Life for my homework assignment, once
And Grim Fandango, too.
 
How the? Your school is awesome
 
I wish Lucasarts would go back to epic adventure games instead of Star Wars remakes. It's nice that Telltale got Monkey Island though
 
Between that and my assignments to make collages, I think my roommates absolutely loathed me
 
hmm... howework assignment: you need to have finshed Half-Life before next week, oh, and don't forget the games you need to play for the other classes!
 
9:04 PM
I kinda hated Half Life 2. Loved 1.
 
It was "Play for at least 3 hours", I recall
 
the combat in HL2 was so .. lame
 
Never played 2, myself
Ah, it was "Play at least 8 hours of Half Life". That was the assignment
 
true, 1 was much better than 2
 
I need EP3 to have closure
 
9:05 PM
it was just "shoot mindless combine soldier in face, repeat"
 
loved 1, 2, and portal
 
I still think the episodes were the best.
 
I really want to see Half-Life 3 with Portal intertwined
 
@arda ep3 maybe?
 
One of these days I should finish Half Life

I should also finish Grim Fandango, too

Rattle off the adjectives for NARQ
We really need "discussion or poll"
 
Subjective and argumentative it is I guess
 
9:39 PM
Ach, it's open-ended, but it's not "subjective"
 
How do you define suitable for a touchpad?
 
Discussion/Poll really fits that nice nook between S&A and NARQ that will cover these
Nothing requiring fast cursor movement, or finely-controlled mouse movement
Lack of precision means longer time needed to execute actions, which is why the whole "turn based, reversible" requirement fits in with it
