  1. Re:Unsolicited math analysis that might have value on Wii Outsells 360, PS3 Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Since at least November of 2006, the 360 has been selling for a profit. Try reading.

  2. With the release of Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3, this is a major coup by MS to make NG2 an exclusive. And given that it's being published by Microsoft Studios, it's not a "timed exclusive" either.

  3. Re:Congress provided a shield for this on Software Company Sues Popular Australian Forum · · Score: 1

    Wow. Read the *Summary*, even. This is in Australia, not the United States where that law was enacted.

  4. Re:Well that's too bad. on Spotlight on Facebook Groups Affects Microsoft · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Read TFA. See who posted the summary. The guy essentially fabricated a story out of nowhere. Tailor-made slashvertising... Nice.

  5. So... on AO-Rated Manhunt 2 Leaked To Warez Sites · · Score: 5, Funny

    Project Manhunt has a warning: '...remember downloading this game is only going to slimming [sic] the already slim chance of Manhunt 3 ever happening,' they tell fans." Does this mean if we all get pirated copies of Windows, MS will stop making it?
  6. Uh, right. on Defending Sony Against the Church Of England · · Score: 2, Insightful
    From TFA:

    Absent the creators' own ability, interest, or resolve to defend the artistic merits of their creation, that task is now left to the critic. Sony did something stupid - include a landmark owned by a church in a videogame of theirs without getting prior permission. If this church was to be included in a movie, you know that the studio would have to get permission, etc. So, Sony apologized for their stupidity, and moved on. This blogger has the "Al Sharpton" syndrome - take up a cause that very few people care about and act like it's the most important thing in the world. Good job.
  7. Massive storm worm? on Storm Worm More Powerful Than Top Supercomputers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Where's Paul Atredies when you need him?

  8. Re:Linux gaming arena? on AMD To Open ATI Specs · · Score: 4, Funny

    But just imagine how awesome nethack will look!

  9. Re:Previous pranks on Australian Comedy Group Prods APEC Security · · Score: -1, Troll

    You're unpleasant and judgemental - go back to your Friends And you're calling me unpleasant?
  10. Re:Previous pranks on Australian Comedy Group Prods APEC Security · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    My previous comment stands.

  11. Re:Previous pranks on Australian Comedy Group Prods APEC Security · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Back in the first series they did a prank with Virgin Blue booking e-tickets under the names 'Terry Wrist' and 'Al Kyder' With such witty humor, it's surprising that nobody has ever heard of them before. I mean.. puns... Wow.
  12. 700 watt hours per day? on Mars Rovers Return to Exploration · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a "Nobody would ever need more than 64k" kind of situation to me.

  13. Re:Acceptance? Really? on Nintendo's President Hopes To Avoid 'Return to Arrogance' · · Score: -1, Troll

    Sorry, I forgot that speaking against Nintendo now equals mod-Troll on /.

  14. Acceptance? Really? on Nintendo's President Hopes To Avoid 'Return to Arrogance' · · Score: 1, Troll

    This time, we were very lucky and very fortunate that people were accepting and positive about the introduction of the Wii Balance Board.. Wow. This was ridiculed by the Western gaming press. Perhaps Nintendo should avoid a "Return to Denial."
  15. Nice blog to get hits, but... on After 10,000 Years, Farming No Longer Dominates · · Score: 5, Informative
    Here's the important info, from the actual report: Here (PDF)

    You'll note, from this article:

    Caution should be used, however, where the information refers only to employees or only to urban areas. For some years in certain countries, the sectoral information relates only to urban areas, so that little or no agricultural work is recorded. Also, there is no data culled for the vast majority of African nations, where the sector of choice would be agriculture. So, to sum it up - your blog about the rise of services vs. agriculture could only be considered partially correct, at best.
  16. Re:It would be unfair competition on Green Cars You Can't Buy · · Score: 1

    The government is merely trying to regulate smugness emissions. While it's fine for Californians to walk around smelling their own farts, it'd be chaos if the entire nation came under a smug cloud that would rival the one produced by George Clooney's acceptance speech at the Oscars.

  17. Re:Typical Cambridge whinger on Scientist Must Pay to Read His Own Paper · · Score: 1

    Please tell me that you were wearing a top hat and a monocle when you wrote this post.

  18. Re:The Religious Right Extremists... on Grow Your Own Heart Valves · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I was actually disappointed that it took 20 minutes from posting of the story for someone to complain about Bush. Libdotters are normally on the ball with this.

  19. Re:Heh on Wii Breaks Sales Records in UK · · Score: 1
    Way to post a one and a half year old link.

    Here's something a little more recent: From Nov 2006

    You clearly need to work on your Google skills.

  20. Re:Heh on Wii Breaks Sales Records in UK · · Score: 0

    but it's also the only one being sold at a profit It's well known that MS has been making at least $75 per console sold for almost a year now.
  21. Correction on Wii Breaks Sales Records in UK · · Score: 0

    Some industry analysts are also reporting that the Wii has overtaken the XBOX 360 to now become the worlds market leader across console and handheld fields. Some industry analysts are morons then. According to vgchartz.com, the DS has sold 48.99M worldwide, compared to 10.91M for the Wii (10.67M for 360). However, the current market leader is the PS2, with 117.89 million shipped as of March 31, 2007 (according to wikipedia).
  22. Re:what????? on Eolas vs. Microsoft Lawsuit Settled and Sealed · · Score: 4, Informative

    Wait for the next quarter's report when they'll have to disclose it. SEC rules are fun.

  23. Re:This will promote one thing on Algorithm Rates Trustworthiness of Wikipedia Pages · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I believe the word you're looking for is Truthiness (copyright Stephen Colbert).

  24. Re:FIST SPORT on Halo 3 Has Gone Gold · · Score: 1

    You must not have tried very hard. I bought Bioshock and Blue Dragon within the past week and a half - and both times saw dozens of copies at the stores.

  25. Re:Gone but not Gonzales on DOJ Still Looks To Have Suit Against Verizon Tossed · · Score: -1, Troll
