  1. Re:Not Aggressive enough on New Evidence Debunks "Stupid" Neanderthal · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You mean, all homo sapiens are actually americans?

  2. Re:Pop culture != scientific consensus on New Evidence Debunks "Stupid" Neanderthal · · Score: 5, Funny

    There was no scientific consensus that Neandethal was stupid.

    ... there is no scientific consensus that the average homo sapiens is smart, either.

  3. Re:Cameras at every toll booth on California's Wireless Road Tolls Easily Hackable · · Score: 1

    The real use of this 'hack' is to screw over your pesky neighbors. Especially if you keep doing it.

  4. Re:is this "obvious news day" again? on Terror Watchlist "Crippled By Technical Flaws" · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because theres' nothing a non-USian can learn in such a "story", except that US-ians are teh morons.

    Hold on, that's not true! In this story, we learn that the terrorist watch list is not only a bad idea, but it is poorly implemented!

  5. Re:I will never forgive the Zerg on New Details For StarCraft 2's Zerg · · Score: 4, Funny

    Me neither. I mean, what were they thinking, making her so freakin' awesome and all. Now, I can't stop thinking about her, and all other female video game protagonists have lost their appeal.

    Those damn zerg. *dreamy siiiiiigh*

  6. Re:Term? on US Court Gives 15 Months' Jail, $415,900 Fine For Game Piracy · · Score: 3, Informative

    ... go to any of the font collection websites, and you'll find all their fonts are free. But if you pay them $10 or something, you can download them all at once, instead of one at a time. So... enough people give them money, at least enough to pay for hosting/etc.

    I'm just sayin...

  7. Re:Oh goody on Siemens Develops Multi-Purpose Surveillance System · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We'll win. Because irregular behaviour, if it goes on long enough, becomes classified as regular behaviour... and is then undetected.

  8. can I make it any more basic? on id CEO Claims PC Hardware Manufacturers Love Piracy · · Score: 1

    10 print "And I'm saying that Yes, it is limitless. Once it has been created." 20 print yourcomment$ 30 goto 10

  9. Re:Here's an idea. on id CEO Claims PC Hardware Manufacturers Love Piracy · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Or, stop spending so much money on DRM and put it into game development!

  10. But ... in canada... on id CEO Claims PC Hardware Manufacturers Love Piracy · · Score: 1

    In canada, we got stuck with a tariff that we pay on blank cds that assumes their use as a pirated music medium.

    ... Since we pay that tariff, it has made it impossible to take someone to court over personal use stuff - "But... You already thought I was a pirate when you sold the blank CD to me!"

    Ah yes, my point: Filling an ipod with music might not be legal ... but you'll never get in trouble for doing so (in canada).

  11. Re:You've gotta love the blame game on id CEO Claims PC Hardware Manufacturers Love Piracy · · Score: 1

    The supply is LIMITLESS and the demand is limited.

    Well... not exactly. What happens when people stop producing software?

  12. Re:This would be the scary part. on id CEO Claims PC Hardware Manufacturers Love Piracy · · Score: 1

    Exactly..Why would anyone buy a computer with a TPM (that can't be removed?)

    But.. when you can buy a PC for the same price as a console AND get all your games for free - why buy a console?

  13. Re:Simplest solution to stopping "piracy" on id CEO Claims PC Hardware Manufacturers Love Piracy · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Agreed!

    Using the same argument, only a few people can have christianity. You can't have any religion, because I've taken it all!

  14. Re:What a secret! on id CEO Claims PC Hardware Manufacturers Love Piracy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Exactly. Years ago, when I lived at home, if I bought a computer and it didn't come with software, it was unheard of...

    These days, if my parents buy a computer from anywhere that isn't a big box store, they expect it to come pre-loaded with software - even though they havn't paid for it. Otherwise, the computer doesn't "work", and they've asked them to fix it. That is the price for their customer loyalty (and money).

    If I buy a computer with no software, it isn't a problem. I'm plenty capable of installing thousands of dollars of pirated software on it - by my self.

  15. Re:I can wait. on Blizzard Unveils Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I felt left out when blizzard switched to a mmorpg model for the warcraft story - I enjoyed war3, and I don't feel like losing my soul and social life to WoW just to find out how the story ends...

  16. Re:Warcraft Cinematic on Blizzard Unveils Wrath of the Lich King Cinematic · · Score: 1

    Yeah, until everyone has a frostmourne (and turn into lich kings?).

    Of course, blizzard will have some plot device that shatters the sword or something..

  17. Re:Tough to fix hardware issue with firmware patch on Apple's IPhone 3G Firmware Update Bombs · · Score: 2, Informative

    since when does 2nd gen end product = first try? Usually, it means 2nd try. Or 2nd revision... or something other than first.

  18. Re:Okay, I'll bite... on Nvidia Rumored To Be Readying X86 Chip Release · · Score: -1

    Copyright Laws, RIAA or some other mafia style garbage which 'protects' the consumer.

    You know, the usual.

  19. Awesome! on AMD's OverDrive and CrossFire Come To Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    GREAT! Now I can play ... uh ... well, someone can make some visually awesome (exclusive) games that I can play for linux!

    YOTLD FTW!

  20. Unfortunately... on Visual Search Engine Tracks Stolen Images · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a great idea... from here --> forward (for those who start the steganography). Of course, being able to search without embedding extra stuff is more useful... still, more speed is better.

  21. Re:I think everybody understands... on Visual Search Engine Tracks Stolen Images · · Score: 1

    It might be better if it were able to find approximate matches, or face match & find. Still, you've gotta start somewhere ;)

  22. Re:Old idea, but a good one. on NPC Hirelings Coming To D&D Online · · Score: 1

    GuildWars had this from the start.
    In Diablo 2 you could at least hire one (perhaps 2 my memory is hazy).

    yes, an old idea. But i have yet to see it implemented well. (the ad&d NPCs won't suck?).

  23. Actually, no. on Debian's Testing Branch Nears Completion · · Score: 5, Funny

    Like ubuntu, it is impossible for it to provide fellatio. As I understand it, you generally have to pay for that sort of service, and linux is (mostly) free.

  24. Re:Colbert isn't republican... on Measuring the "Colbert Bump" · · Score: 1

    I'm canadian, and get all my american news from colbert/stewart. It makes it easy, I don't even have to look for the humour, they bring it to me.

    It isn't like the mainstream media is any more/less accurate in their presentation of the issues...

  25. Old Republicans... on Measuring the "Colbert Bump" · · Score: 1
    So, most republicans might be awake between 11:30 - 12 (or tivo it) ... but MAYBE most republicans can't stay awake for the entire show, and often fall asleep right before the interview part.

    Building on what elrous0 said,

    Republicans are a bunch of old humorless farts

    ... oh wait, did I quote that out of context?
