  1. Re:Distributed waste on WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Release Date Announced · · Score: 1

    Because the retailers would have a cow about being cut out of the loop. Yeah, Blizzard could easily get by with online distribution of the expansion (though I do think many of the concerns already expressed are valid, they're not universal.), but all the retailers involved would collectively scream their rage out of not getting their slice of the pie.

  2. Re:Did anyone else ... on Indian Woman Convicted of Murder By Brain Scan · · Score: 1

    Yes. Yes I did. And it would have worried me a lot less.

  3. Simple solution... on Successful Moonlighting For Geeks? · · Score: 1

    1. Find a random job
    2. ???????
    3. Profit
    4. Invest the profits in fixing up your house.
    5. Get a government bailout when your house is destroyed in a disaster.

  4. Ah, the dreaded EULA! on Mozilla Demanding Firefox Display EULA In Ubuntu · · Score: 2, Informative

    Where you might just be agreeing that they're not responsible if you cause a Global Thermonuclear War by using the browser. Seriously, the point of the EULA is not to restrict the user as far as I can tell. It's to protect the Mozilla Foundation.

  5. phat lootz for the win! on Loot Theory In Modern Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Total score!

    Really, who didn't do things like try to land on the 3,6,9 timer for Super Mario Bros? Who needs a study for that?

  6. Dude... on Apple Rejects iPhone App As Competitive To iTunes · · Score: 1

    you're getting a lawsuit.

  7. I've got one solution for them... on Telco Sues Municipality For Laying Their Own Fiber · · Score: 1

    Dig up their bones...er, cables! It's time to riot!

  8. Really? on Cloud Computing May Draw Government Action · · Score: 1

    Color me surprised. Honestly, what doesn't draw Government action?

  9. And you thought latency was bad on Earth... on Interplanetary Internet Tested In Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wait till you try to play World of Warcraft from MARS!

  10. Re:"Hi, I'm a PC." "...And I'm a Mac." on ITunes 8 a Real Killer App; Taking Down Vista · · Score: 1

    Has the jury reached a verdict? Yes, we have. Completely justifiable homicide.

  11. Don't see the problem... on Automated News Crawling Evaporates $1.14B · · Score: 1

    Anybody investing in the Airline industry is either a fool or a madman. Invest in teleportation technology instead.

  12. Re:Seems Like A Bad Summary on Apple Admits iPod Is From 1970s UK · · Score: 1

    Sounds like it's the ancestor of the singing birthday car I got from my nephews.

  13. Don't mess with the solar aliens! on NASA To Explore "Secret Layer" of the Sun · · Score: 1

    They'll turn out to be the C'tan, and we all know what that leads to! Necrons!

  14. Doesn't work. on Researchers Build Malicious Facebook App · · Score: 3, Funny

    Facebook is still operational.

  15. Re:Give it some time on Best Shrinkable ReiserFS Replacement? · · Score: 1

    Enjoying himself? That's a pretty broad term. Is it enjoyment to read a book? Watch TV? Play video games? Listen to music? Work in a machine shop or fix cars? All things one can do in prison. Sometimes even encouraged. Having prisoners suffering and miserable, well, that's one way of doing things, but it's pretty unhealthy if you asked me. I think I'd rather have them productive in prison. And Hans Reiser programming his file system? Works for me.

  16. I first used google... on Google Turns 10 · · Score: 1

    when it was mentioned on the Steve Jackson Games website. Checking there, I see it was September of that year. So that's when.

  17. Aimed? Firefox? on Chrome Vs. IE 8 · · Score: 1

    If that was what they were aiming for, I think they missed by about an astronomical unit.

  18. Damn... on Red Alert 1 Released As Freeware · · Score: 1

    I already own C&C Red Alert. Oddly, I owned it for several months before realizing I did. I do not know how that happened at all, but it's right there on my shelf, and I even remember finishing it. So I'm going to pass.

  19. Good ole Gov't. on Appeals Court Rules US Can Block Mad Cow Testing · · Score: 1

    I'm mind of the old saying: What do you mean there's an *acceptable* level of rat feces in (insert food product here)!

  20. How much are your servers worth? on Cost-Effective Server Room Air Conditioning? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, you ask yourself how much your servers are worth, what it'd cost to replace them, or do without them, and then you can factor in how much you should spend on setting up your cooling. There are several ways to do that, but few of them are cheap, and if your systems are at all valuable, you shouldn't balk at spending thousands on your needs. Since it seems 600 dollars is too much for you, all I can suggest is looking at your ventilation, or possibly replacement of your existing systems with more energy-efficient ones.

  21. Could be quite good on Large Content Patch To Precede Upcoming WoW Expansion · · Score: 1

    It seems Illidan is going to be revealing himself based on some sound files that have been extracted from the beta files. Probably put up some quests and maybe some bosses to fight, hopefully for a variety of levels. Shouldn't just be the 70s getting in on the fun. As for Wrath, a lot of the changes and improvements will be quite good, but there will likely still be some growing pains. But flying carpets man! We'll be getting flying carpets!

  22. Watching the trailer... on Blizzard Unveils Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic · · Score: 1

    Well, it's ok. It's good enough, but not as good as the original WOW trailer or the Burning Crusade one. I found it impressive, but lacking in the flavor/story of the others.

  23. Re:Blood in the Water on Blizzard Unveils Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic · · Score: 1

    Why? Because Blizzard is doing the same thing they did when BC came out?

  24. Re:Terraforming Earth on Stone Age Mass Graves Reveal Green Sahara · · Score: 1

    I think there was something in Battlefield:Earth. Does that count?

  25. Finally! on Stone Age Mass Graves Reveal Green Sahara · · Score: 1

    The Proof that our industrial society is causing Global Warming! Yes, so it happened thousands of years ago, it's still obviously our fault. We must invent time machines to solve this problem before it gets worse!
