I especially liked how hot-plugging a keyboard or mouse might fry your motherboard. Good times.

Please mod parent up. Both funny and insightful. Well done.

On: How the PS3 Hit $600

That's a rather shortsighted view. I wouldn't call a win for Sony unless their marketshare matches or exceeds that of the current generation. Even if their initial launch is completely sold out, if a year later they're not the majority player in the console space, they've lost.

You're forgetting Mac OS X is microkernel-based (on Mach BSD). Or maybe you don't consider it popular?

On: Commission Says NASA Failed on Shuttle Safety

I'm sorry, I think your comment is hardly insightful. We've lost two shuttles (14 astronauts) in 113 flights. That's one dead per eight flights.

Let's compare to civil aviation. Take last year, 13 deaths in 10,547,000 flights. Ten million.

Going to space is hard, yes, but don't try to convince me that the shuttle is safe or the best way to get there.

Re:Grand Theft Auto is funnier than that

On: Humor in Games?

Agreed.

There are a lot of funny moments with Woozy. Watching him run full speed into a wall, and then try to play it off, or when you play cards with him (he's blind, but trying to hide it).

Catalina was a complete blast. "I'll let you kill anyone you want, baby."

Rescuing Zero from his massive wedgie.

And, of course, the radio stations are great.

On: States Push for Net Sales Taxes

Moving the company may not help. Currently it's the customer's state that dictates the sales tax, so I imagine that there's just no way around it.

i'm sorry, this page certainly doesn't seem like "refusing complaints" to me.
