  1. Re:"Updated" on Sega To Bring Dreamcast Titles to PSN, Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    I already own all of The Offspring's CDs. That said however, there are about four or five of their songs in the game. They're mixed in with a few Bad Religion songs if I recall.

    So then... no Offspring tracks? :(

  3. Re:Yay!!!! on Sega To Bring Dreamcast Titles to PSN, Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    I still have on of my Dreamcasts hooked up in the living room. It may not get as much play as it used to, but it is easily my favorite all-around console ever.

  4. Re:Rectifying interference with more interference? on Gulf Oil Spill Disaster — Spawn of the Living Dead · · Score: 1

    Not trolling here, but since when is its mankind's responsibility to save every variety of every species of animal on the planet?

    It probably started when we began to personally and directly drive species into extinction, while allowing our own population to explode and grow fettered and unnaturally.

  5. Re:The Original Mortal Kombat Movie on Why Are Video Game Movies So Awful? · · Score: 1

    That would be awesome. The first Mortal Kombat film was great fun, and had a very enjoyable soundtrack.

  6. Re:It astounds me on Traffic-Flow Algorithm Can Reduce Fuel Consumption · · Score: 1

    Tell me about it. I drive through a village every day which contains about ten traffic lights. Almost every one of these intersections are dead, because they arbitrarily put the lights up at every little alley that dumps out into the road. Now mind you, this is the only road through the village and it's a fucking state route on top of it all. Add in that the speed limit jumps from 25mph to 35mph and back again after nearly every light and it is soon taking me twenty minutes just to get through his dumpy little village.

  7. Re:Accusations of pedophilia?!?! on PA Appeals Court Weighs Punishment For Students' Online Parodies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe. But even then, the principal should have screamed "libel!" and let the police/courts handle that. Instead the student was suspended, despite nothing ever being done at the school itself. This is really just another case of school system trying to overstep their boundaries. It would happen every single day if people don't keep them in check.

  8. Re:For serious? on Pedestrian Follows Google Map, Gets Run Over, Sues · · Score: 1

    It's really too bad that the woman wasn't simply hit and killed by a car. We don't need people this stupid wasting space on an already overpopulated planet. Do any of us really want people walking around that require explicit warning when they're in danger of obvious things? I know I don't.

  9. Re:Call me a fanboi or whatever but... on Blizzard Boss Says Restrictive DRM Is a Waste of Time · · Score: 1

    I understand the term perfectly well. But it quickly and easily illustrates the point. These games can become unplayable at the drop of a hat. Server hiccup, dissolved company, DoS attack, whatever. There's too much generally at stake when you think about the long-term.

  10. Re:Not the first time either on When the US Government Built Ultra-Safe Cars · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say it turned out bad at all. I still drive my 1972 Super Beetle (flat windshield: FTW!) on my daily commute to work. Good gas mileage and easy as pie to work on if anything ever does go wrong.

  11. Re:Call me a fanboi or whatever but... on Blizzard Boss Says Restrictive DRM Is a Waste of Time · · Score: 1

    For me, even installing the multiplayer beta took days and countless attempts. Why? It seemed as though the auto-patch utility was broken, or the recent patch itself was. Frankly, that alone wouldn't give me too much hope for the system, beta or not.

  12. Re:Call me a fanboi or whatever but... on Blizzard Boss Says Restrictive DRM Is a Waste of Time · · Score: 1

    Blizzard would disagree with you. StarCraft II has been marketed as being primarily a singleplayer game. That's why the singleplayer campaign has been broken up into three different titles (or at least two expansion packs?). Is that just another ploy for money? You betcha! Still, it doesn't really show that the developers attention leaned toward multiplayer. All they had to do there was more or less clone the original game... otherwise Koreans everywhere would have been up in arms.

  13. Re:Call me a fanboi or whatever but... on Blizzard Boss Says Restrictive DRM Is a Waste of Time · · Score: 1

    The lack of LAN play may come back to haunt them anyway. I really can't see the entirety of Korea putting up with some lag-filled internet connection in their StarCraft tournaments.

    LAN play be a basic requirement for multiplayer games. Furthermore, Blizzard should really revisit the idea of Spawn Installs, like WarCraft and Diablo had. I think it's ridiculous that if I want to play a game with my family (on our LAN, in our home) that I have to purchase a copy of said game for everyone.

    You're forgiven. I should have used the proper word from the beginning. Thank you. ;)

  17. Re:Why?? on Why I Steal Movies (Even Ones I'm In) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You had better believe that I would steal a car in a second if it meant that I'd get an exact copy of said car, without depriving the original owner of their property at all.

  18. Re:Hey, look, I can quote too! on Texas Schools Board Rewriting US History · · Score: 1

    Atheists have not demonstrated an adequate method for instilling the necessary values on as wide a scale as Christianity.

    As opposed to Christianity's method of instilling values, huh? Let's not forget the Crusades (all of them!), countless witch trials, the Inquisition, and countless other horrors. If you truly believe that the monotheistic lies of your Judeo-Christian-Muslim system are supportive of a functional set of values, them I can only say this: Take Jesus' cock out of your mouth, as his scrotum is obviously hindering your view of reality.

    Seriously, why aren't all of you religious whack-jobs rounded up and sent to deprogramming centers? Wake up! You're religion isn't even original, it's a plagiarized collage of countless mythologies that came before it.

    Couldn't that just be done with addons?

  22. Obligatory Blade Runner Reference on Google Stops Selling Its Own Phone · · Score: 4, Funny

    Google has announced that it will close its online cell phone store and no longer sell the Nexus One smart phone directly to consumers.

    This was not called execution. It was called retirement.

    Nutritional value is only applicable to food served by the school, not packed lunch

    Which is perfectly reasonable. I had always refused to eat whatever the school was serving back in the day. That was some of the most disgusting looking "food" in the world. Schools in general should really take a more active stance in teaching kids how to live healthier. Gymnastics should simply be merged with the "health class" that a lot of schools have. Teach the kids about their bodies; including proper diet and exercise.
