  1. And the point is? on Most Parents Don't Game With Their Kids · · Score: 1

    Since when was it cool for teenagers to hang out and "play games" with their parents? MSNBC, you suck.

  2. Re:The Democratic System Certainly Has Its Flaws, on Wikileaks Releases Sensitive Guantanamo Manual · · Score: 1

    That is why the US is a republic and not a democracy. The lefties tend to forget that from time to time.

  3. Re:Has potential on Microsoft To Offer Xbox 1 Games For Download, Celebrates Live Anniversary · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Judging by your statements, you have clearly never played Psychonauts. Awesome Fkn Game. Here's hoping they eventually throw Chronicles of Riddick on there, as well.

  4. Reason for decline.. on The Duel Between Gaming Magazines and Websites · · Score: 1

    If someone wants video game *news*, they go online. A story/new game/preview/delay that I read about today will be in next month's magazine. Old news is no news.

  5. Politics section on White House Ordered to Preserve All Email · · Score: 1

    Not YRO. And who's going to sit behind every white house staffer and make sure they don't delete emails? Maybe they'll remove every "Delete" key from the keyboards?

  6. Gehry on MIT Sues Frank Gehry Over Buggy $300M CS Building · · Score: 4, Informative

    I work for a fortune 500 luxury goods company that recently had Gehry design *jewelry*, of all things. Let's just say that the line is on the verge of being cancelled due to poor sales - many of the items are already discontinued. Sure, the stuff is interesting to look at, but much of it is impractical to wear. I'm not at all surprised that the guy's designed a building that's practically falling apart.

  7. Re:I beg to differ. on Battle Lines Being Drawn Over OpenSocial · · Score: 1

    Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

  8. Confessions? on Confessions of a Gamestop Manager · · Score: 1

    More like "A Guide for Shopping in my Store" or "Dealing with Gamestop's ridiculous policies." Gamestop is one of the few stores I've ever been to where it appears their policy is to treat the customer like shit.

  9. It's all about the money... on Municipal Wi-Fi - A Promise Unfulfilled? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Until towns/cities can do this at a reasonable cost, and until providers can actually make a buck off it, I wouldn't expect to see widespread success at public Wi-Fi projects.

  10. Hmm.... on Smart Monitoring PC Hardware Launched By NVIDIA · · Score: 4, Funny

    ESA is essentially a hardware and software interface that takes data collected by analog sensors and converts it to digital information that can accessed via software. Sounds like a computer to me...
  11. Re:Really.... how? on Google Announces "Open Phone" Coalition, No gPhone [Updated] · · Score: 0

    LO-fucking-L. It's "Do no evil," you dolt.

  12. Re:Really.... how? on Google Announces "Open Phone" Coalition, No gPhone [Updated] · · Score: 0

    Troll much? Given the wide spectrum of speeds that one can get from their PC, the point is that specifying "PC-type speeds" is too vague. Would it be dialup speeds? DSL speeds? Cable speeds? DS-3? Exactly. Next time, think before you flame, douchebag.

  13. Well respected? on Redmond's Heavy Guns Go After OpenSocial · · Score: 5, Funny

    well-respected members of the Microsoft blogging community Oxymoron?
  14. Really.... how? on Google Announces "Open Phone" Coalition, No gPhone [Updated] · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Mobile Web browsing is notoriously slow and Google plans to change that by providing easy access to the Internet at PC-type speeds. There is so much wrong with this sentence that it makes me want to gouge my eyes out. I wasn't aware that PC-type is suddenly a benchmark for speed... and how exactly is changing the OS going to make cellphone browsing that noticeably faster?
    Also...

    One caveat: You'll have to use Google for navigation Do no Evil, eh?
  15. Voice acting? on Iwata Explains Mario Galaxy · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...and gives us a peek behind the scenes of the game's voice acting. I so wish I could be the guy who gets to go "It'sa me, Mario!" and "Woohoo!"
  16. Nice. on EA Plans To Use Mass Effect Chat In Other Games · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can't wait to see how they incorporate this into Madden 2009.

  17. Minor annoyances, eh? on Leopard Early Adopters Suffer For The Rest of Us · · Score: 2, Insightful

    News.com tallies up the minor annoyances early adopters have experienced dealing with the newest version of OS X. Had this been a windows release, I'm fairly certain that these would have been called "major GUI design flaws" and "critical systems bugs/security issues."
  18. Narrow minded. on Schneier On the War On the Unexpected · · Score: 2, Interesting

    After someone reports a 'terrorist threat,' the whole system is biased towards escalation and CYA instead of a more realistic threat assessment... You know why they do this? Because several times already, government agencies have learned about possible terrorist acts being planned and didn't act because they didn't consider the source 'credible'. This has nothing to do with your BS tangents about targeting the unexpected, the different, etc. This has to do with agencies trying to save peoples lives.
  19. Re:Fair Translation? on Metal Gear Solid 4 Delayed To 2008 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It means they need more time to prepare the Xbox 360 and Wii ports.

  20. O rly? on Joel and Original Cast of MST3K Riding the Cinematic Titanic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We can only hope that they re-review "Manos, the Hands of Fate"....

  21. Re:Mobile phones + do no evil? on Verizon Might Deliver Google Phone · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm more concerned about the potential collision of Verizon + Do No Evil... A paradoxical combination like this could rip a hole in the space-time continuum.

  22. Open source.... why bother? on Google's Plans for a Social API · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I *get* what Google is trying to do here. However, since the majority of Facebook's users couldn't care less if the apps they're using are open, I'm not really sure what the point is...

  23. Re:Blame Microsoft. on Ubuntu May Be Killing Your Laptop's Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bravo. Now we just need someone to blame this on Bush, and everything is covered.

  24. Hancock.. worst name ever. on AT&T Invents Surveillance Programming Language · · Score: 5, Funny

    What, was Palmdong taken?

  25. Re:Codepink clowns.. on FBI Accused of Abusing Criminal Database · · Score: 1

    No, there is no issue with going into public buildings to see the proceedings. There is an issue, however, with yelling and screaming like jackasses just to get yourselves kicked out. If you can't distinguish between the two, then I think it's you who has the problem.
