  1. Re:Not The First on Robot Actress Makes Stage Debut In Japan · · Score: 1

    No actually it was the Governor of California.

  2. Re:There Is a Chance on When DLC Goes Wrong · · Score: 1

    There's still sort of a problem with that. In games like MW2 if you don't buy the DLC you get kicked from half the matchmaking games which is annoying.

  3. Re:WPA2 minimum passphrase length... on Sophos Researcher Suggests Password 'Free' to Spur Wi-Fi Encryption · · Score: 1

    So Make it freewifi this is a stupid idea anyway.

  4. Re:old school piracy. on Analyzing Amazon's E-Book Loan Agreement · · Score: 1

    Apparently you must hallucinate in order to read these ebooks. This was the kind of piracy we used back in the 60s we dropped some acid then hallucinated what ever movie/ebook/music we wanted to see/hear/read. I for one am glad to see those days back as most copyright infringement these days only requires delusion. Now get off my lawn.

  5. Grammar Nazi on Immaculate Conception In a Boa Constrictor · · Score: 1

  6. Re:Where is the shoulder mount? on HULC Robotic Exoskeleton MK II Undergoing Tests · · Score: 1

    They don't get that until at least MK IV haven't you read Halo: Fall of Reach.

  7. Re:Why not just scarp US Intelligence on Annual US Intelligence Bill Tops $80 Billion · · Score: 1

    Your both wrong there is already obviously a shortage of intelligence in the U.S. They should buy twice as much next year.

  8. Re:It's a fake! on First Pictures of the (Fake?) PlayStation Phone · · Score: 1

    My point wasn't that Sony wouldn't do it because android is open-source. Though that would defiantly be a deterrent for Sony. My point was that Sony wouldn't make a PSPhone based on android because it would cheapen the PlayStation brand. I know this is /. I shouldn't have thought about it from a business perspective.

  9. Re:It's a fake! on First Pictures of the (Fake?) PlayStation Phone · · Score: 1

    Really I knew it was fake at it runs android. A playstation phone would run some kind of playstation Firmware/OS. There's no way sony would run android on a "playstation" branded device.

  10. Re:More players = More money on Are Games Getting Easier? · · Score: 1

    Yes but to make the modern game that the average /.er is asking for would (assuming they speak for the 5% your talking about) cost even more.

  11. Re:More players = More money on Are Games Getting Easier? · · Score: 1

    It's a business decision, pure and simple. The more people your game is accessible to, the more copies you sell. Why spend a lot of time developing a game 5% of the potential market will want when you can spend less effort appealing to the other 95%?

    There fixed that for you.

  12. Re:MS is doing that on Ray Ozzie's Departing Memo a Warning To Microsoft · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Xbox360 is a truly fantastic product too.

    What are you smoking Xbox 360 is a terrible product. 50% of them fail after 1 year. The online service cost too much and is covered with ads. The xbox is coasting on its games (which are the most popular) combined with the fact that I can't play with any of my friends unless I subscribe their crappy service. The 360 exploits the market the same way windows does. I own a 360. Fuck the 360.

  13. Sort of on Why Mozilla Needs To Pick a New Fight · · Score: 1

    I think that Mozilla is already sort of doing this just not in the Office Suite market. Look at song bird (I know it sucks) but the itunes-like software market is hurting much more than the office suite market with OO.org and the like. If they made songbird less bloated then maybe they could do what for the itunes-like market what firefox has done for the browser market.

  14. Re:Not a netbook? What? on Early Review of 11" Macbook Air · · Score: 1
  15. Re:"Alien vs. Predator" Movie or Video Game? on AMD Demos Llano Fusion APU, Radeon 6800 Series · · Score: 1

    I've got no idea how fast an "Alien vs. Predator" video game needs the graphics system to be

    Agreed how many IOCs (Instances of Crisis) is that? like .25?

  16. Re:Spider Worms? on Genetically Engineered Silkworms Spin Spider Silk · · Score: 2, Funny

  17. Re:I bet "The Industry" loves it.... on CD Sales Continue To Plummet, Vinyl Records Soar · · Score: 1

    You can get a usb turntable for less than $50

  18. Re:I never used to send SMS on Texting On the Rise In the US · · Score: 1

    I think you missed one major advantage of texting. If you want to communicate one short message its really convenient.

  19. Re:Navigation on U. Penn Super Quadcopter Learns New Tricks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Happy talk like a pirate day!

  20. Re:Yeah! on Deleting Certain Gene Makes Mice Smarter · · Score: 3, Insightful
  21. Re:Why not just merge with Fedora or Ubuntu on Developers Fork Mandriva Linux, Creating Mageia · · Score: 1

    For a newbie's first Linux distro, you need to have at least basic support for _all_ hardware straight from the install. I've never seen Mandriva fail at that...and I've also never seen Ubuntu succeed.

    Firstly let me say that if you've never seen Ubuntu succeed at hardware support you haven't seen much as far as Ubuntu goes. Next if Mandriva is good at hardware support (and Ubuntu so bad) that sounds like the perfect reason the merge the two projects.

  22. Re:Control for experience? on Study Shows Testosterone is Bad For High-Stakes Decisions · · Score: 1

    [sarcasm]Does it matter? Correlation is causation.[/sarcasm]

  23. Re:Hah! on US Gov't Makes a Mess of Classifying Sensitive Data · · Score: 1

    And this is why I refuse to believe any of the popular conspiracy theories about our government. The United States government can't keep secrets secret.

    Your logic makes my head spin. You don't believe that our government can keep secrets therefore you don't believe the secrets that our government can't keep.

  24. Sorry Sony on White House Fingers PlayStation As Obesity Culprit · · Score: 1

    I just can't risk becoming obese from now on only Xbox for me.

  25. Re:How Does the Same Company Make iPods and iTunes on Flawed iTunes Stands Out Among Apple's Products · · Score: 1

    If you're looking for open source alternatives to iTunes: CDex, VLC and handbrake .
