  1. EULA on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would think that this process of detection would have to be spelt our pretty clearly in the eula for it to even be feisable for them to try to use this against users.

  2. Questionable choices on Ocarina of Time — Best Game Ever? · · Score: 1

    Although Halflife 2 was great Halflife spawned the mega mod generation with cs, tfc, dod, etc. Plus it was a terrific game. FF12 is by no means fantastic other than in a graphical sence and should be replaced with snes ff3 or 6 which brought the traditional rpg to the americas and proved that we were caplable of being entertained by non platformer titles. Civilization 4 being good did not have that attention seizing grasp that Civilization 3 had and still has on me to this day. Being the peak of quality at the time and a balanced gameplay not to heavy on conflict or research it is a timeless game that should have mention.

  3. Stupid Russia on Russia Claims Large Chunk of North Pole · · Score: 1

    The Russian leaders must be kicking their ancestors in the face for selling Alaska. Stupid Canada for not buying it. Our ancestors should be punched in the balls for that dumb mistake. I propose we trade the St.Lawence Quebec region for Alaska. Its not like Alaskans want to be american nor Quebecers want to be Canadian. Maple Syrup for Oil!!

  4. low dollar on Ban On Price Floors Abandoned, Internet Prices May Rise · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this is in responce the the poor dollar value or if it is just another example of corporations guiding the law of the US. Anyhow you can always come to Canada and get stuff cheaper.... unless it comes from the US... or you do not have a passport.

  5. Re:Photos on Wildlife Returning To Chernobyl · · Score: 1

    There can not be reports or photos of Ninja Turtles since they have no source of green ooze

  6. Re:How much is it a problem? on Why Are CC Numbers Still So Easy To Find? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I do a lot of online shopping and as a result I have remembered my cc number and accociated inforation. I have had stores take my cc as a number alone with out ID. I then asked if that is their standard policy and told them that I could have easily been using a stolen number. They are always surprised at my question but I give them my drivers liscence and another piece of ID where they seem satisfied. It may be because I am in Canada and we have the presumption of honesty and innocence but it is not hard to find a store to take you number.

  7. Re:RTF EULA on Microsoft Bans Modified Xbox 360s From Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    I could add jet engines to my Camero, and as long as I rented a private airfield to use it I'd be fine. But my Jet-Camero wouldn't be street legal. thant is not exactly true http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/
  8. who cares on FF XII Re-make, New RPG Announced By Square/Enix · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Earthbound is where its at! I have played FF since snes 3 (4 or 5 or whatever) and I think that they have gotten progressivly worse. I don't know if it is the same 'type' of story taking place in a new world or what but its alwasy similar since 7. Some flamer, the main character, goes on a quest to save the world, find himself and almost get a girl (much to the discust of the closeted hero). Although I enjoy 12s battle system, which I am adjusting to, I find watching videos with there the female charaters look more masculine than the hero distracting and that is not even mentioning the unpronouncable names which just make the story awkward to follow.

  9. Re:Oh, boy! on Lucas To Make New Live Action Star Wars Films · · Score: 1

    No doubt! I don't think that I would consider Rush to be 'musically insignifignt' either. Fox is trying to prove that they are hip by discounting good bands from the past; being Canadian probably has something to do with it to. Meanwhile they play the most culturally signifigant programs on TV I have ever seen.

  10. jeeves gone? on Gallery of the Lamest Technology Mascots Ever · · Score: 1

    Does this mean I can not get his cheeky responce when I ask 'Is Jeeves is gay?'

  11. How can they get it wrong. on French Voting Machines a "Catastrophe" · · Score: 1

    Get a box throw a picture of the candidates with their party and name on a screen and have a big fricken red button. If that person is who you like push the button. We are like fricken chimps picken ticks out of our hair do not want to adopt new technology. That being said my wife once chose to not vote for a candidate because he looked 'shady'.

  12. not quite correct on 'Kryptonite' Discovered in Serbian Mine · · Score: 1, Informative

    It exists in the atmosphere at 1ppm. http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/ele036.html

  13. whats the problem on Next Gen Beautiful But Brainless? · · Score: 1

    some men like beautifull but brainless...

  14. one word on Nintendo's Sale Dominance Gets Noticed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Nintendo execs say only one word as they ride the rollercoster to the top... wiii! (mandatory wii joke, I know its getting old)

  15. toss of the dice on Paizo to Discontinue Dragon and Dungeon Magazines · · Score: 1

    With the cost of printing and limited subscriptions I am amazed it was still published. Usually D&D types are computer savvy and would use online resouces. I bet nerds around the world will be rolling a D72 and add their +4 protest modifier to decide if they should petition.

  16. Re:Look at a map for your answer. on The World's Longest Tunnel · · Score: 1

    Danger aside many people do not want a bridge/tunnel to Vancouver Island because we do not want to be a suburb of Vancouver. One of the biggest challenges for a tunnel is the water depth which would require long in and out routes to mantain grade.

  17. Re:Just Like The M16 on U.S. Soldiers Hate New High-Tech Gear · · Score: 1

    I would like to see this 500 yard shot on a man sized target especially with a one shot kill as you mention

  18. Re:Settlers of Catan online makes me tingle on This Week in Downloadable Content · · Score: 1

    I am in the same boat, I simply need more geek friends if this was on wii and I could find a wii it would be perfect

  19. reliable sourcing on Should Schools Block Sites Like Wikipedia? · · Score: 1

    Although the content on wikipedia may be a half truth often the articles cite other resources from where the information was collected which helps to build a web of data. As long as students are informed on how to select accurate resources for their data there is no problem. Wikipedia is an excellent source for small trivia and quick, though sometimes incorrect information (thanks Colbert).

  20. Re:Ink on New Inkjet Technology 5 To 10 Times Faster · · Score: 1

    Doing that you would still end up in the red, until your magenta cartridge ran out that is.

  21. piracy resoltion on CD Music Sales Down 20% In Q1 2007 · · Score: 1

    Being a reforming pirate (mainly because the music I usually listen to is usually not available locally on any media) I recently purchased a cd (Iron Maiden to be specific). I was excited to play my new, old music and I went to play it in my car and nothing came out. I tried it in 2 players at home and a computer, nothing worked. Rather than go to the trouble to figure out what the hell was wrong with my 'legit' music I decided that I owned it and I have the right to listen to it, so I downloaded it. If the recording industry wants us to buy their product they should have some QC and make their product usable by not having DRM (not that it was my issue). I know that it may have been a freak occurance of a faulty disk (I have not bought a Cd in a long time) but its not worth the effort if they do not care about my rights.

  22. Not that it matters anyhow. on Microsoft One Step From World's Greenest Company · · Score: 1

    I bet 50% of Windows machines out there has been deemed non-genuine and will now receive this 'upgrade' anyhow

  23. What would they do on PS3 Lines Already Forming In America · · Score: 1

    If they do this for a PS3 what would they do for a Klondike Bar?
