  1. Microsoft Marketing on Bill Gates Should Buy Your Buffer Overruns · · Score: 0

    If Microsoft would take on something like this; and their marketing department spun it the right way, it would be much cheaper than paying for Google ads.

  2. Re:What do you mean cure? Fear is not a sickness! on MIT Finds Cure For Fear · · Score: 0

    not only bad for that person, but bad for the person's neighbors and fellow Earth dwellers.

  3. Re:Useless on Home Secretary Requests Fingerprint-Activated iPods · · Score: 0

    They want to have a fall back when they lose their own ipod with 'top secret' data on it. Whether that data is animal pr0n, brittney spears, or other sensitive information has yet to be determined.

  4. The penny stocks SPAM on Spam Doubles, Finding New Ways to Deliver Itself · · Score: 0

    Not sure if anyone else has seen these, but I wish all spam filters would simply delete any mail that contains 2 or more gif files. Gmail does a decent job of removing them, but that's the only one that I have found.

  5. Re:The Middle East is the new Southeast Asia on Iraq Study Group Reaches Concensus · · Score: 1

    I dislike any wishy washy approach. Generally, I think this makes us (US and its allies) look weaker and more vulnerable. Sure what is happening there is bad, and people dieing for a non-worthy cause is never a good thing, but right now its over there. Right now personally I can tune out the war on Iraq or Terror by simply not turning on the TV or browsing to news websites.

    What happens when we (US and its allies) piss off the entire region even more and WW III starts? Then the problem is on our soil and effects are daily lives.

  6. The Middle East is the new Southeast Asia on Iraq Study Group Reaches Concensus · · Score: 2, Funny

    There are no winners. Only losers. No Correct solution to the problem. Personally I wish we (the US and its allies) would formulate a common long term plan (good or bad) and just stick to it.

  7. This stops nothing. on Ban On Louisiana Video Game Law Now Permanent · · Score: 1

    I have seen kids go in and have their aunts/uncles/grandparents purchase the game for them for a present. I have seen it happen before me with one of the GTA titles, and I remember when I did the same thing with the Jerky Boys first CD back when I was in junior high.

  8. Weird Al didn't need to buy friends.... on Who Says Money Can't Buy Friends? · · Score: 4, Funny

    He had a pimped out myspace because he was white and nerdy though.

  9. HACK the PLANET on Hackers Not Afraid of Being Caught · · Score: 5, Funny

    or just the gibson.

  10. Re:FINALLY on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 0, Troll

    So Monopoly money works in Australia huh? Now alls I need is $800 for a plane ticket and I can take a real 2 week vacation.

  11. Re:I think we should try landing on comets first. on NASA Proposes Manned Asteroid Mission · · Score: 1

    I forgot about that. Haven't seen it since it came out and was in highschool. I remember it was a weekend away for a school function, and the girls went to see some chick flick and the guys went to see Deep Impact. The girls came out laughing and the guys came out almost teary eyed. ah memories

  12. I didn't realize... on Mark Cuban Declares War on GooTube · · Score: 0

    David Stern was the CEO for google?

  13. I think we should try landing on comets first. on NASA Proposes Manned Asteroid Mission · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Deep Impact was a much better movie IMHO than Armageddon.

    Users of The Internet Movie Database seem to barely agree with me.

  14. Re:awesome! on Icebergs Sailing Past New Zealand · · Score: 0

    They could morph survivor into girls gone wild and turn it into a late night infomercial if they don't allow the contestants to dress for the seasonal conditions.

  15. Why not just use the big freaking lasers? on Warming a Tiny Piece of Mars For Terraforming · · Score: 0

    Seems like an easier idea.

  16. Re:Any word... on Big Freakin' Laser Beams In Space · · Score: 0

    If we do, we can get a million dollars from the long standing cosmonauts that live up there.

  17. Wow /. is getting slow on Halo 3 Multiplayer Demo Coming In Spring · · Score: -1, Troll

    Read about this on my car forum this morning (3 hours ago).

  18. Rebate? on PlayStation 3 Gets Software Update On Launch Day · · Score: 1

    Sony giving money back for supporting their dieing company? Or just good will to get some games sold?

  19. Nintendo's online product on Downloadable Game News For All Three Consoles · · Score: 1

    If they have the emulator working, wouldn't they be able just pull the backup archives (tapes) and just plug and play with little testing?

    I am guessing in term's of the Punch-Out (with or without Mike-Tyson) will be whatever was the last released title (in this case no Mike). This is interesting on several of the old NES ROMs I know there were multiple variations of the same game. One of which was the original Tecmo Bowl (my cousin and I had different rosters, Dickerson or Bently for the RB for the Colts). I know at different points having different emulators, I have seen both variations of the two afore mentioned games.

    Also, will multiplayer games be able to played on multiple Wii at the same time? (ie can I play my friend accross the country?)

  20. We should have asked what type of cake was sent... on Mozilla People Answer Firefox 2.0 Questions · · Score: 1

    In hindsight, this seems like a good question considering i just finished lunch.

  21. Re:Good to go? on Windows Vista Released To Manufacturing · · Score: 1

    No, that was longhorn. :)

  23. Interesting concept on Wave-Powered Desalination · · Score: 1

    I like the idea; however, there wasn't anything mentioned to the impact on the local ecosystem by releasing the extra heat and salt directly back into the ocean. What happens after a couple of years of having this duck farm and the water contains a slightly larger percentage of minerals?

  24. Marketing to the general public? on Ask a Mozilla Person About Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    A lot of technical people use FF because they feel it is a better product. With this being said, FireFox is still not well known in the general population of everyday computer users? What steps are mozilla taking to make their product more mainstream?

  25. misleading title on Motorola Develops Bare-Bones Phone · · Score: 1

    When I think of a "bare bones" system, I think of one that I can customize and add what features I choose to it. If they could develop a small-sleek flip phone with the ability to add on all the bells and whistles of your choosing, while being able to customize the menus to display on the features you have selected, then I would be in cell phone heaven.
