  1. 1.0_01. on Minecraft Reaches Beta Status, Price Goes Up · · Score: 1

    Ssssssssssssssss...

  2. Daft Punk cameo? on Tron: Legacy · · Score: 1

    I sure hope that was a Daft Punk cameo I saw..!

  3. Wikileaks leaking its own leaks... on Assange Rape Case Reopened · · Score: 1

    I will guffaw if Wikileaks leaks the material that Wikileaksileaks is seeking. My head hurts...

  4. Rights Holder on UK Royalty Group Wants ISPs To Pay For Pirating Customers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Silly me, thinking that it should be up to the rights holder to protect their rights.

    Not according to him in his interview with Andrew Denton

  6. I keep forgetting to buy Portal on More Evidence For Steam Games On Linux · · Score: 1

    If it comes to Linux via Steam, I'll have no excuse left.

  7. Re:Put the word "Wikipedia" in quotes like me... on Aussie Tech-Focused Wiki Launched · · Score: 1

    Fair call, but what about the other x-thousand species?

  8. Kokoro Co. on Android Copy of Young Woman Unveiled In Japan · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they're Astro Boy fans?

  9. Re:hi neighbor! on Auto-Scanning the Names People Choose For Their Wireless APs · · Score: 1

    I especially appreciate how 'KittenNet' 'mogrifies' everything.

  10. Re:Interesting on Statistical Analysis of U of Chicago Graffiti · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder if the FOIA would include all of the photos snapped along the lines before the scrubbers paint a fresh new "canvas" up... There would be literally decades of data, and I believe they already do analysis such that they can identify any person's style such that, if nabbed for one, you're done for all.

    PS: I know this occurs because I was at a freshly tagged station when the poor sod was taking (digital) photos and documenting everything before painting over them in a not-quite-the-same tan. Interest was piqued, questioning ensued.

    Finally, Disaster Area can live up to their reputation!

    Etc...

  13. Re:Thank goodness for those drivers on Next Linux Kernel Due Early March · · Score: 1

    I started with nVidia on my first Linux-powered box and, at most, was a couple of days out between Fedora release and stable nVidia driver release (one went to a week before I found the 'ignore ABI' switch on a forum).

    That card eventually died and I replaced it with an ATI card, supposedly superior. I never got it to work with Compiz. Ever. I struggled to get the open source drivers to do dual-head mode. I even tried Win7 RC1 in the hope that that would at least allow me to benefit from my hardware investment. Nope.

    Needless to say, my new box has an nVidia card and RPMFusion-packaged closed-source drivers (which I just check are out before updating the kernel, unless it's critical. I'll invest in nVidia because they invest in their customers.

  14. Re:Exactly one concern on YouTube Revamp Imminent? · · Score: 1

    They also will want to keep their branding and commonly-understood control mechanisms in place. Dropping Flash for HTML5, for example, will complicate this matter: it will be trivial for embedded video to be controlled with different interfaces, which will annoy some users, who will blame the company whose watermark appears on said video (YouTube) and not the UX designer (embedding site).

  15. Re:this will be fun on Ireland's Blasphemy Law Goes Into Effect · · Score: 1

    Clearly, they banned not using it.

    I sure hope a hoot isn't an ALL-CAPS tweet...

    +1: Funny

  21. Re:I for one... on Giant Spiders Invade Australian Outback Town · · Score: 1

    Alternate ending I recall:

    The Texan explains that his property is so vast that he can get up at sunrise and start driving his car from one side of it and not reach the other until sunset. The Aussie replies: "Yeah, had a car like that once."

    5. Return at end time and join queue of people leaving cinema.
