  1. Re:The moral of the story on Magazine Photos Fool Age-verification Cameras · · Score: 0

    You can't bribe a computer.

  2. Re:Watch the ice melt on North Pole Ice On Track To Melt By September? · · Score: 0

    More interestingly, if you look outside, you can watch grass grow!

    Note: For those too afraid to leave the basement, you can find similar entertainment by watching paint dry (Tip: to avoid movement, I'd recommend hiring a painter).

  3. "The oceans were full..." on The World's 10 Dirtiest Cities · · Score: 5, Funny

    It may not be a city, but New Jersey deserves at least an honorable mention.

  4. Nonsense on "Intrepid" Supercomputer Fastest In the World · · Score: 1

    I've got my 2500+ XP overclocked to 1.9GHz. Beat that!

  5. Re:Make people realise the benefit of OSS on XP Deathwatch, T Minus 2 Weeks · · Score: 1

    If you want something that supports current, bleeding edge hardware and software, Linux is the only way to go. Well, unless that hardware happens to be ATI....

  6. Re:The canonical solution: on Long-Range Wireless Keyboard/Mouse? · · Score: 1

    Note: X should be consumed last, otherwise the other tasks may not be completed.

  7. Important feature on Metal Gear Solid 4 Review · · Score: 1

    I am yet to see this addressed yet, but since this game is evidently half game, half movie, are there movie controls for the cutscenes (fast forward, pause, rewind, skip, etc)? Is there, at the very least, a pause? I mean, sometimes I just really have to use the restroom, or take a call, and I don't want to wait 15 minutes just to see the rest of the cutscene.

  8. Welcome... on TSA Bans Flight If You Refuse To Show ID · · Score: 1

    "Welcome, welcome to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by our Benefactors. I've been proud to call City 17 my home, and so whether you are here to stay or passing through on your way to parts unknown... Welcome! to City 17. It's safer here."

    It might be "just a game", but that world, and those words, seem to ring truer as time progresses.

  9. Re:In other words: on BioShock 3 Confirmed Despite Lack of BioShock 2 · · Score: 1

    Marathon 2 -> Marathon Infinity.

  10. Re:Wii, lightsabre game? on LucasArts Layoffs Spark Many Rumors, Including KOTOR 3 · · Score: 1

    Well, the actors were swinging around sticks on a light saber hilt, which adds the "weight". Perhaps they were initially envisioned to be essentially weightless, but were limited by reality?

  11. Re:Finally we may get some variety ... on Bye Bye Bananas — the Return of Panama Disease · · Score: 1

    So you're saying I should travel to a second location, potentially miles away, for one item? Sorry, but with gas as expensive as it is, I'll take the mediocre, less healthy (but still tasty) banana over the one that costs additional gas money.

    If there was a farmer's market near the grocery store, you bet I'd be there. Unfortunately, there isn't, and I can't afford to travel so far for so little.

  12. Re:Fixed on Prince DMCAs YouTube To Block Radiohead Song · · Score: 2, Funny

    One fan was quoted as saying "Sometimes I just can't understand his actions."

    Unfortunately, the other two fans couldn't be reached for comment.

  13. "...runs like a dog." on Gartner Analysts Warn That Windows Is Collapsing · · Score: 1

    I hate that idiom. My dog runs faster than me :(

  14. Re:The real reason... on Why "Vista" Nick White Left Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't a chubby kid at a fat camp be like a skinny kid at a normal camp?

  15. Banning Nerf? on Roleplayers Seek Removal of Nerf Gun Ban · · Score: 1

    That's like banning my childhood.

  16. Open the pod bay doors, Hal. on The Coming Wave of Gadgets That Listen and Obey · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry Dave...

  17. May Day irony? on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 1

    Ironic that this occured (started) on May Day, no? Yes; there's a difference between the day and the phrase. Perhaps the phrase 'mayday' might take on a different meaning for the internet (compared to the rest of the world, who collectively know it as May 1st and a distress call). Or, perhaps, we just needed a distress call to the crap that DRM is.
