  1. Re:The stats on Indie Pay-What-You-Want Bundle Reaches $1 Million · · Score: 1

    That's pretty interesting. I guess it means a lot of people went with the default split? If you used the customized split it defaulted to split evenly 3 ways between Child's Play, the EFF, and the 5 devs, but that looks like a pretty even 7 way split.

  2. Aha on Blender 3D Incredible Machines · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Aha, I found the link to the BlenderNation newspost with the winners. http://www.blendernation.com/rube-goldberg-device-contest-winners-announced/

  3. Re:Hard to argue with the general point. on Schneier Calls Quantum Cryptography Impressive But Pointless · · Score: 1

    Are you sure about all that? The best quantum computers I recall hearing about could play tic-tac-toe maybe. In his article even Schneier says they've factored 15.

  4. Re:You are *really* pushing the wrong subject here on Why the Olympics Didn't Melt the Internet · · Score: 1

    I posted it another place, but the video was available via Flash as well. No one was being forced.

  5. Re:Pushing a protocol... on Why the Olympics Didn't Melt the Internet · · Score: 1

    You could choose to watch in Flash. It wasn't as fancy, but it was there.

  6. Re:At 4:24 PM (EDT-US) on NSI Registers Every Domain Checked · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So what you're saying is that in addition to the bot that one guy made to autoquery these domains, we should also make bots to give them heavy traffic for the next few days?

  7. Re:Insanely sloppy... but not without precedent on EVE-Online Patch Makes XP Unbootable · · Score: 1

    Well that shouldn't really affect anything. Other than Final Fantasy 11, and PC ports of 7 and 8, their games have all been pretty much exclusively on Nintendo and Sony consoles.

  8. Re:There's Ron Paul on Colbert Ballot Bid Shot Down · · Score: 1, Informative

    He's also quite the racist, but let's not let that get in the way.

  9. Re:Third party developers on Wii 'Popularity Bubble' to Burst? · · Score: 1

    Besides, the article was originally from the Japanese newspaper, Nikkei, so a game being popular there is very relevant to this article at least.

  10. Re:jeeze... on Smash Bros. Brawl to Have Co-Op Play · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Today's update about Samus's stun gun was probably more interesting, even So you found the fact that we learned a confirmed character has attacks that we all pretty much knew to exist more interesting than a rather large change in gameplay from the first 2 games, which many people have wanted to be implemented. As for it being old news, yeah, c'mon Slashdot. This was from Friday.
  11. Re:Can someone please explain Halo? on Official - Bungie Departing Microsoft · · Score: 1

    First FPS I ever played was Wolfenstein. I also played Doom, Heretic, Hexen and quite a few others. I didn't really get into them. I played a lot of Perfect Dark and some Goldeneye on the 64 though (where, by the way, you could look up and down) and really enjoyed them.(PD at least. I don't know why Goldeneye wasn't as fun for me. They're pretty much the same game) My freshman and sophomore year of College I played a hell of a lot of UT:GOTY and 2K3 with my roommates, and had a blast. I hated Halo and the XBox on principle. It wasn't until my junior year when I actually played Halo and Halo 2 that I found them to be one hell of a lot of fun.

  12. Re:well, on Japanese Airlines Ban DS, PSP · · Score: 1

    I doesn't matter if the kid has sense not to eat other people's food. A lot of peanut allergies are really severe, and just the dust from someone a few seats over eating peanuts can cause a sometimes severe reaction.

    Pupellyverbos. Ya, its a weird word.

    Come to think of it, some purple/blue and black striped underwear or swimsuits or something wouldn't be half bad.

    I don't know if my landline is my [i]primary[/i] means of communication, as I use email mostly, but I don't have a cell, so if someone wants to phone me, they call my house.

  18. Re:CCTV on Thieves Hacking Security Cameras? · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that if you honestly thought there was enough credibility in the bomb threat to seriously injure a fellow hostage in an attempt to get out, that you think running away like a pussy even when the bomber said he would blow up the very building you and possibly your family and friends and 100 other people are in is somehow both safer and more "manly" than sitting it out and not needlessly endangering yourself and others? Wow, what a run-on.

  19. Re:CCTV on Thieves Hacking Security Cameras? · · Score: 1

    Because they were told by a guy they believed was watching them that there was a bomb in the store and if they tried to leave, he would blow it up. Even if there wasn't a bomb, there have in the past been bombs put in places. It's enough to make them reluctant to call his bluff.

  21. Re:Gateway after sales service sucks on Acer to Acquire Gateway for $710 million · · Score: 1

    Its not a laptop, but it isn't a standard desktop. It's one of those stupid hybrids, where the whole of the computer (except peripherals/input) are built into the back/bottom of the screen. I hate hate hate them.

  22. Re:Gateway after sales service sucks on Acer to Acquire Gateway for $710 million · · Score: 1

    Tell me about it. My work computer had the screen die, and since it was out of warranty, we had to send it in to get it replaced. Somehow in the process of fixing the screen, they managed to screw up the harddrive.

  23. Re:When Wealthy Christians and Crackpots Attack! on Science Blogger Sued for Unfavorable Book Review · · Score: 1

    No, nor are they the majority in the US. That doesn't mean I cannot point out why they are foolish beliefs to have. Many would say Scientologists are nuts, then go to church on sunday. The only difference seems to be how many members a religion has as to whether or not one supersticion is "valid" or not. Many Scientologists were also probably around when the founder of their "church" said that if he wanted to make money, the best way would be to start a religion. Then he did so.
  24. Re:Maybe we need "unrated" releases on The ESRB Doesn't Take Games Seriously? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the fact that the console makers won't license an AO rated game for their consoles, so most likely would object to an unrated version.

  25. Re:This'll be Nice on World of Warcraft - Wrath of the Lich King Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    A guy in a my guild was in the hospital for a while, and a had a dream where one of the new races they added was Piglet, from Winnie the Pooh. He got his Piglet toon up to lvl 6 in his dream. The other race was Ethereals, which makes a little more sense.
