  1. Re:for a quick fix fine on Nokia Unveils "World's Thinnest" QWERTY Smartphone · · Score: 2, Funny

    BAH I graduated in '89. You insensitive clod.
    There now you don't feel old... I do.

    BAH I graduated in '89. You insensitive clod. There now you don't feel old... I do. Just to make you feel older I took typing in 8th grade class in 1999.
  2. Re:Well yeah on Greenpeace Complains Game Consoles Aren't Green Enough · · Score: 1

    what you're trying to say is that there are non more green?

  3. Re:I already own Rock Band, thank you on Details for Guitar Hero 4 Released · · Score: 1

    Rock band has the experience but they lack the quality songs.

  4. it may not make you better..... on Gaming Gear Showdown, Simplicity vs. Hype · · Score: 1

    But having a good mouse pad ( Steelpad QCK+) and a pretty good mouse (MX 518)does make a difference. I think a decent mouse like mine does certainly make the difference between a 10 dollar mouse. I don't spin out for once. and the mouse pad just makes it more comfortable for me. if anything these things are for comfort and consistency.

  5. Re:A slump? on Apple Prepares For the Coming iPod Slump · · Score: 1

    And as long as the prices for the real thing stay and absurdly high levels that trend will actually spread. I can't afford the prices so I buy less expensive brands. My 8gig player was much cheaper that Apple's 4gig and the interface is fine. I'm not even confined to one vendor for application and use. That's fine. However, the OP was not about non-Apple MP3 players (which no doubt are as good or better than the iPod in their own ways) but about the tacky knockoff imposter crap which probably isn't 1/10th as good as a Zen or whatever. my younger brother has a zen and ultimately what was the killing point to me was the form factor, it was thicker than my ipod, and interface. It was n't as nice and streamlined as my iPod was.
  6. Re:do ya feel lucky, Comcast? on Sony To Launch PS3 Video Download Service · · Score: 1

    As far as it being a niche market I say not so. they offer a wide variety of videos available to anybody. the concept of downloading a rental for a movie is also fairly new and people as usual are scared to try something new. I rented into the wild on the XBL store and watched it in Hi-def and it was certainly worth the little extra cost of that download. I think the only thing sony has to worry about is ease of use. They always seem to find a way to fuck something pretty cool up.

  7. this is nice on Demonoid Tracker Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    I usually buy most of my music. sometimes I just don't have the cash so I would turn to the pirate bay or demonoid a while back. I'm kind of glad this is back up because I used to get quality torrents and seeds from them.

  8. Re:In soviet amerika, google searches YOU on Clandestine Operations at Google · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I like how people think we can just buy what we want in the government....when I was in the service I had to go to three different people if I wanted to buy so little as a a box of pencils. I actually ended up buying some of my supplies out of my own money because it was much more convenient to me.

  9. Re:What happen to free market economy? on $5 Per Month Fee Proposed For Legal Music P2P · · Score: 1

    If they knew how they wouldn't be in this situation now would they?

  12. Re:It is their phone on iPhone SDK Rules Block Skype, Firefox, Java ... · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure but I wouldn't doubt that there's a EULA for the iPhone's OS....therefore you can use they iPhone anyway you please....just don't use the OS anyway you would like because you're licensed it. I guess that would be the correct way to put it. I'm sure you can delete it and write your own os for it.....then you can have all the fun you want.

  13. jeez.... on BattleBots & ESPN Strike TV Deal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can get fighting robots, but would it kill you to play rugby espn.

  14. Re:i915 on Unreal Creator Proclaims PCs are Not For Gaming · · Score: 1

    I'd like to add , however, that most PCs that have integrated graphics can't be upgraded unless you want to use a pci 1 card that really won't get you anything. so even if those people wanted to upgrade they couldn't.

  15. Re:Well, what did you expect? on Posting Publicly Available URL Claimed a "Hack" · · Score: 1

    well would it be wrong for me to go to my friends house and watch his television? I'm not the one paying for it. they're receiving someone else's funds.

  16. Re:Translation on Former FBI Agent Calls for a Second Internet · · Score: 1

    Man I hated using the CAC reader. I would always leave my I.D. in it and have to go back and get it. it was also a pain in the ass to use. they also took a FOREVER to get it even working. Sigh.

  17. Re:*SPOILERS* The Very End on Cloverfield Discussion · · Score: 1

    I noticed it also and found it kind of eerie when the girl said,"Today was a good day." My girlfriend was clutching my hand very tightly through the whole movie and my opinion was that it was a good monster movie. not epic but good.

  18. Re:This is arguably the stupidest thing ... on Parents To Block Kids From Joining MySpace · · Score: 1

    I do agree with this idea very much. I'm not that old. a few years older than these kids who are being shielded from the internet. People should educate not blindly block what their children are doing or watching. For example, what do you think would happen if say an intruder breaks into your house, you in an effort to protect your family shoot the intruder. Instead of calming your child down you just rush him or her to their room and tell them to relax and just stay there. what do you think that child will grow up thinking if you never talk to them? I feel it's basically a similar, however much less serious situation. It's important that at appropriate times you educate your children on the choices they will have to make and how they will affect them and the people around them. but raise your kids as you will.

  19. A funny twist on White House Gets Green by Putting Federal Budget Online · · Score: 1

    I recently applied for a job at a government agency and at the end of the application process it gave several things that they'd like you to print out......3 days later I get the shit they wanted me to print out in the mail. I think I should know better than getting another government job.

  20. yay! on Hand-Made Vacuum Tubes · · Score: 2, Funny

    maybe now I can make my own interwebs!

  21. maybe they should work with communities of on Data Theft Soars to Unprecedented Levels · · Score: 1

    white hat hackers on staff full time who's sole job is to look for security breaches. I mean I guess it would make too much sense and having worked for the government, I know that if it makes sense it's not in the game plan.

  22. I guess they learned from the Wii on Xbox Live Fall Update Drops Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I remember reading this story about a guy finding out his wife was cheating on him using the wii usage thing on it. I guess it would kinda hurt those that struggle with infidelity.

  23. Re:Did they consult their customers? on MTV Takes on P2P by Making South Park Free · · Score: 1

    well, sure the grasp of conversational English is available to most if you're of the age group of people that watches the simpsons. Another reason to consider dubbing is because alot of the references or jokes are lost if you aren't exposed as often to the things that they're referencing. At times you'll have them replaced by things that they would know. ie: Calvin Klein being replace by levi strauss in Back to the Future when it showed in france.

  24. Re:What are the police really like? on Aqua Teen Art 'Terrorist' Describes His Ordeal · · Score: 1

    i firsthand have seen the violence go off at a football match here in italy. After a match between catania and palermo, I believe, they actually killed a police officer in the aftermath of the game. Some people just take it WAY too far.

  25. Re:Prosecute them. on Wikileaks Releases Sensitive Guantanamo Manual · · Score: 1

    I will second his first statements...with over 120k troops + contractors it would seem that you would know at least one person there right now personally. A death would affect you. however slightly is another thing. I have friends in iraq. Kids I grew up with. I watch the news quite often and hope that I don't have to see their pictures up there. I myself play a support role in this war on terror. I take part in the care of our troops from a psycological standpoint. I can tell you first hand about the scars of war. I can also tell you that it will affect is more if we choose to leave.
