  1. 2 Examples on Videogame Places You're Not Supposed To Go · · Score: 1

    The two examples that come to my mind but weren't in this article are the infamous "minus world" from Super Mario Brothers 1. The other one is the Test Area in Zelda: Windwaker. Linky here... http://www.zeldaelements.net/9testrooms.shtml I have never personally experienced either.

  2. Windows Media Player Classic? on Money For Nothing and the Codecs For Free · · Score: 1

    Download it inside a codec pack. I do it with every windows reformat.

  3. Flame War on Asus Slaps Linux In the Face · · Score: 1

    Flame war in...

    ......

  4. Its Parentage on Ancient Fossil Offers Clues To Primate Evolution · · Score: 2, Funny

    The only question is whether or not it indeed had a Human father and a Cylon mother.

  5. Re:Not the first netbook... on A Look Back At the World's First Netbook · · Score: 3, Informative

    Agreed. We had one of those libretto's at work and it was definitely not cheap. The novelty of it was amazing though. At some point we tried to load XP on it but it just choked. Windows 2000 installed fairly well though. I wonder if it is still around. I'd like to give Ubuntu a try on it.

  6. Re:The question isn't just "are Macs expensive" on Mac Tax, Dell Tax, HP Tax · · Score: 1

    How does $2050 minus $800 come out to $1300? You gotta do simple math to get your good deal.

  7. Only difference? on Nintendo To Take On Apple With DSi App Store · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How about Dual Screens, Dual Cameras, expandable memory, clamshell design. Not to mention the thing plays DS GAMES!

  8. Fantastic Four Silver Surfer Nerd on How Do Militaries Treat Their Nerds? · · Score: 1

    I think Mr. Fantastic made a pretty lame speech to an Army dude about how being a nerd got him the hot chick.

  9. Non Rugged can be rugged on Dell's Rugged Laptop Doesn't Quite Pass 4-Foot Drop Test · · Score: 1

    I have dropped a plain old Latitude D630 while it was powering on from approx. 4 feet up and it didn't miss a beat. It even got whacked on the end of a table on its way down.

  10. NHL puck tracker on The Technology Behind the Magic Yellow Line · · Score: 1

    This is all fascinating and everything but the masses really want to know what ever happened to that halo they used to have around the puck in NHL games?

  11. Plenty of Acorns in Northern NJ on Acorns Disappear Across the Country · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Every Autumn, my brothers and I get into a nice acorn fight at Grandma's house in North Jersey. There was no shortage of ammunition this year.

  12. Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome on Safe Stem Cells Produced From Adult Cells · · Score: 1

    This may be how it begins. We could all de-evolve starting tonight!

  13. 2 Years? on Mozilla Is Eyeing Your Phone · · Score: 1

    Why would this take 2 years? Can't they put a team on it and crank something out in a month or two? In two years I'll have already discarded three more handsets.

  14. It's the Omega molecule! on A Quasi-Quasicrystal · · Score: 1

    Perfection is always just out of reach.

  15. Abnormal Behavior on Video Surveillance Tech Detects Abnormal Activity · · Score: 1

    I walk with a limp. Does that constitute abnormal behavior according to this software?

  16. Re:Blu Ray on Pioneer Promises 400GB Optical Discs · · Score: 1

    News Flash... Smellevision replaces Television!

  17. The Real World Record on Mozilla Outage On Firefox 3 Record Launch Day · · Score: 1

    The record isn't how many downloads, but rather how many slashdot articles there can be about the same friggin subject.

  18. Re:anyone know? on Shuttle Launch Pad Damaged During Discovery's Launch · · Score: 1

    42 Do you know how old you daddy is?

    Stewie: 42
  19. Re:Patch Tuesday on Firefox Goes for World Download Record · · Score: 5, Funny

    I bet WOW patches are high ranking.

  20. Windows 2000 is already a lightweight XP on Microsoft Accommodating Eee With Lightweight XP · · Score: 1

    Windows 2000 was overshadowed by XP too early in its lifetime. It will run on almost any hardware and it's fast. I put it on a tiny Toshiba Libretto back in the day when XP literally choked on it and I also put it on an 800 MHz Fujitsu Lifebook when XP ran like a dog.

  21. Netscape Navigator similarities on Mac OS X Secretly Cripples Non-Apple Software · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a similar situation where MS crippled Netscape so people would be more likely to use Internet Explorer?

  22. or maybe on Identical Twins Not Identical After All · · Score: 1

    Or maybe these 'genetic' diseases aren't really genetic at all but caused by an environmental factor.

  23. N64 on What's the Best Game Console of All Time? · · Score: 1

    It still used Cartridges which meant less loading times than optical media. Goldeneye brought my family together like no thanksgiving dinner could. On my PS1, the word Loading flashed across the scoreboard in Madden 98 eighteen times before I could play a game. Waaaay worse than waiting for Windows XP to load on an old PC. ;)

  24. Processor 'Flavors' = MS Windows 'Flavors' on The Economics of Chips With Many Cores · · Score: 1

    This sounds a lot like all the flavors they offer Windows in. You can pony up extra cash to activate the extra cores. What's next, a Core 2 'Ultimate' CPU? This could work for game consoles as well. Buy some points cards and apply them towards more CPU speed and increase your framerates.

  25. This isn't funny on Airport Profilers Learn to Read Facial Expressions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Do you really think someone who is willing to hijack a plane and then fly it into a skyscraper doesn't already have a poker face? I'm also sure the would-be terrorists already travel regularly so they be well accustomed to the different facets of airport security.

    First it's facial expressions, next it will be the thought police.
