  1. MKD on Meet the New Chess Boxing Champion of the World · · Score: 1

    How about this:

    Similar to Chess Kombat in Mortal Kombat Deception, where you have a (pretty) normal chess game, but whenever you capture a piece, you either both fight, or the guy who is capturing punches the n00b in the face. Think about it, you would hesitate sacrificing that pawn if you knew you could only take a few more punches.

    If not, how about whenever someone caps a piece, the two guys fight for X seconds, like MK Deception, the attacker gets some sort of bonus, an extra shot in....possibly use of a fist filler etc.

    Just my pre-wake n' bake thoughts of the day, trust me, it all goes downhill from here.

  2. Re:There is no need for this for ordinary users on In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped · · Score: 1

    with so many 'triple A' games abandoning the PC, there aren't even any stupidly big demos to download anymore.

    Except for the stupidly big demos for consoles...

  3. Re:Free speech? Thought police? on eBay'er Arrested For Attempting To Sell His Vote · · Score: 2, Interesting

    a couple here in Vancouver put their newborn girl up for sale on Craigslist for $10000 a few weeks ago and they were charged. Of course they said it was a joke, but the point is that it is still against the law, just like selling your vote is illegal in the US.

  4. Re:BIG DEAL. They are talking about LIMIT hold'em! on Poker Program Battles Humans In Vegas · · Score: 1

    +1 informative if i had points

    I assumed that it was no-limit hold'em because that's what most people play, and all the poker shows on TV are predominantly no limit based, it's just more exciting.

  5. Re:top of the line video cameras? on Al-Qaeda's Growing Online Offensive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    you obviously don't get access to any of the HD videos, that's for brown people only.

    The bug affects the heaviest users of Firefox. This is true, the whole world is against us aren't they? But +1 informative for sheer effort, not that it really helps/matters (7 YEARS.)
  7. Re:The other thing is the system requirements on EA's (Limited) Creature Creator For Spore Released · · Score: 0, Redundant

    most people with Macs and an interest in gaming already have a copy installed so they can play the majority of games that don't work on a Mac . Honestly bro, read the post that you're replying to at least. I don't, but I also don't post stupid replies.

  13. hmmmmm on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    It is kind of interesting how torrent sites like Isohunt are trying to offset some of the demand on servers that are hosting firefox, but really are screwing over the record attempt....

  16. Re:This is going nowhere. on Westinghouse Commits to Green Plug's Universal A.C. Adapter · · Score: 1

    I bought an original motorola razr not too long ago as a back up phone, and though it is able to charge through the USB port, it won't charge when I hook it up to my computer, it just tries to sync. I use my ipod AC adapter, but it is still kind of annoying.

  17. Re:Chips Legal but... on Mod Chips Legal In the UK · · Score: 1

    My xbox 360 has fucked up 2 of my games, with deep, circular scratches on the discs. Apparently it is common, but fortunately those were games that I don't even play much, not worth the $160 to buy 2 new ones. If I could play backup copies, then I wouldn't care as much if my xbox wrecked discs, because I could just use backups (worth less than $1) made from the original.
    There are some legitimate uses...........

  18. prepaid credit card on eBay's Plan to Force PayPal Rejected Down Under · · Score: 1

    I used to sell perfume testers on eBay, but because I was under 18 and had no credit card (my parents wouldn't let me use theirs) I just bought a prepaid visa with $50 on it, and hooked it up to my paypal account.This way, if paypal ever really wanted my money, then they would be unable to take it from my CC like they normally do (my paypal balance is always a few dollars, and bank account is used solely for paypal). The credit card had nobodys name on it, but an expiry date and the right amount of numbers. They also deposited like $0.77 in my account and asked how much they deposited later to validate my account or w/e.
    Just an offtopic interesting note. Either or.

    I have played about 3 hours of tetris per day during the school year...but then again some of these WoW addicts will play much, much more than that.

  20. since when? on ID Theft In US Continues Apace Despite Data Breach Laws · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ID Theft in US Continues Apace Despite Data Breach Laws Since when do laws really stop anything. There are laws against murder, yet people are murdered all the time. They got to get to the root of the problem, and there are ton of comments trying to identify the root, which is probably profit.
  21. duh on What Shall We Do With the Moon Once We Get There? · · Score: 1

    Grow weed on the moon. Hydroponic setup with solar panels and some grow lights and we're good to go. Transportation might be a bit expensive....but the low gravity will cause the plant to grow differently, and hence the moon weed, that will get you outta this world.

  22. Re:Battery Life on Acer Bets Big On Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They mean when comparing two identical systems, one using a Linux OS and one using a Windows OS. In this case, the battery life is much greater with Linux, and the solid state storage which is most commonly found in ultra portables (with linux) adds even more battery life.

  24. Re:Is it April 1, 2009? on China's All-Seeing Eye · · Score: 1

    I am surprised at how short-sighted the Communists are, and I already hold them in pretty low esteem.
    Don't paint all communists with one brush, the Chinese are hardly communists, more fascists (see the post "China is not commie" in this discussion.)
    Its not because they are communists, it's because they are nuts. Plain and simple. When the government wants to track all communication between citizens and access to the internet etc rather than feeding the hungry, and seismically upgrading schools, then something is fucked up.
  25. Re:Naomi's right... on China's All-Seeing Eye · · Score: 1

    Better learn Chinese, folks
    Yeah, I already know Indian, Mexican and Netherlandian, :P
    From what I understand, Chinese refers to the written text, either simplified or traditional chinese. There are many different spoken languages that use written chinese characters, like Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, and other dialects that are so different that a Cantonese speaking person from Taiwan will not be understood (fully) by a Cantonese speaking person from Schezuan province etc.

    That's like people asking me if I speak Hindu...fucking insulting that they are so stupid.
