  6. For whom the bell trolls on World's Worst PR Guy Gives His Side · · Score: 2

    I find it difficult to have any sympathy for this guy, reading his various outbursts it seems that in this situation the troll has become the trolled.

    The only reason I keep a Windows partition is for Steam.

    Nobody will start a fight with China, at least while they manufacture Apple products, how would the west cope without iPads etc?

  18. Re:OMG Ponies! on Botnet Mafia in Online Turf War · · Score: 1

    Google knew about it, the sad things is I searched for it :P It put me in mind of some of the art from Napoleon Dynamite http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374900/.

  20. Re:Power Glove? on Wiimote Hacking Goes Big-Time · · Score: 1

    This sounds like an interesting idea. Some of the basic 'games' from the Tron movie would suit such a device. However I owned one of the few Power Gloves that made it to the UK, I was one disappointed kid :)

  21. Re:Jump on the bandwagon! on Nintendo's Sale Dominance Gets Noticed · · Score: 1

    Have you seen the Resident Evil footage (Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil 4)? I can't wait to get my hands on a wii and these games.

    An opinion that many don't share :) What do you not like about the wii?

  23. Re:Something doo economics. Anyone? Anyone? on Principal Cancels Classes, Sues Over MySpace Prank · · Score: 1

    "It's a misquote (at least according to your link)"

    Perhaps, but I don't have a script handy. IIRC the quotes on IMDB are user submitted. Is it possible that they misquoted?

    "and the film isn't famous"

    What makes you think that?

  24. Re:Something doo economics. Anyone? Anyone? on Principal Cancels Classes, Sues Over MySpace Prank · · Score: 1

    When I was in High School (1990-1996) we have a 'Computer Studies' course. At our school this was based on the BBC Micro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bbc_micro), with programming done in COMAL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COMAL). I decided not to do this course as the part of the 'Technological Studies' course which the school offered covered computer programming via machine code and assembly language.

    When I went to college to study software engineering I learned that many other schools in the area had been teaching Visual Basic, or Pascal in their 'computer studies' courses.

  25. Re:Something doo economics. Anyone? Anyone? on Principal Cancels Classes, Sues Over MySpace Prank · · Score: 1

    "everybody who learned how to code before the internet was invented?"

    Well not everyone has to learn things in the same way. Should we not use "modern medicines" since humanity existed before they were around? :P

    "The web is not a super research tool anyway"

    Some people do not have access to books or hard copy documentation. I know that in developing countries people use the web to gain access to reference/learning materials, since they don't have a huge library (in some cases no library or reference materials) at their disposal. It is quick and better than nothing :)
