  1. Re:Excellent Summary on Google Open Sources Etherpad, Piratepad Launches · · Score: 1

    RTFFP

    (FP as in First Post)

  2. Re:Only one sensor? on Best Man Rigs Newlyweds' Bed To Tweet During Sex · · Score: 1

    I'd say shouting "fuck you" is closest to oral sex.

  3. Re:Well... on Microsoft Invents Price-Gouging the Least Influential · · Score: 1

    Almost all online stores have user accounts, so guests will view something like pay as low as $5 if you register only to find that after they give away their personal information the actual price is $10.

  4. Re:Well... on Microsoft Invents Price-Gouging the Least Influential · · Score: 1

    How exactly do you want to be anonymous when you buy something online? It may be easier for downloadable things, but if you want something shipped to you, you need to give them your address and full name.

  5. Re:What the what on Future Blu-ray Movies To Come With Playable Game Demos · · Score: 1

    Not everyone can be bothered to wait half a day for a huge demo to download only to find it boring after ten minutes. This would allow people to play large demos of unheard of games because it's already there so they can give it a shot.

  6. Re:Not everyone can host a game via p2p on John Carmack Says No Dedicated Servers For Rage · · Score: 1

    Id suggest that alot of people just dont have the upstream speed to cope with hosting a game... especially those of us in New Zealand, and Australia

    Huh? I thought dedicated servers were just that - dedicated servers. A program running among many others on rented servers that have the upload speeds and everything needed to host games without problems.

    I feel like I'm either missing something or others don't quite grasp the difference between a game hosted on your PC from your game, a game hosted by the developers, and a game hosted by players on dedicated servers.

  7. Re:not a record on New Motorcycle World Speed Record, 367.382 mph · · Score: 1

    There's nothing more beautiful than taking the best designs from nature and applying them to our own.

    Too bad fish can't sue us. Maybe that would make some people realize copyrighting everything is a bad idea.

  8. There is a Fallout MMO on Bethesda Sues Interplay Over Fallout License, MMO Plans · · Score: 1

    There already is a Fallout MMO game. It's still in beta, but it's fun to see how far fans can go when they really want something that the creators of a game won't give them.

    FOnline - Come join the grief fest.

  9. Re:3D on Panasonic 3D TV Does Not Disappoint · · Score: 1

    Whenever we get 'real' 3D, how will we call it?

    Full3D, duh. ~

  10. Re:Perfectly Legal on Dad Builds 700 Pound Cannon for Son's Birthday · · Score: 1, Informative

    A trebuchet.

  11. Re:Let's pretend on Pirate Bay Archive Goes Online · · Score: 1

    xbtit is a popular choice, but I don't know if it's that easy to install.

  12. Re:surgical precision on EVE Bans Exploiters; Dropping 2% of Users Cuts Average CPU Usage 30% · · Score: 1

    CCP can log pretty much everything. I'm sure they checked for things like if the person ever spoke to someone they sent millions of ISK. If those ISK were going only to other people, or was that just occasional, etc. There are certain things that can be a dead giveaway.

  13. Re:Good news for others on Windows 7 To Sell In UK For Half the US Price · · Score: 1

    It's not that hard, really.

    If you wanted to get a Charizard, you also would need to first upgrade your Charmander to a Charmeleon. Same situation here. Only a Leopard can digivolve into a Snow Leopard.

    See? It's logical.

  14. Re:I thought it said... on Genetic Mutation Enables Less Sleep · · Score: 1

    But isn't their number infinite in your mind, hence making them uncountable?

  15. Re:Correction on Xbox Gaming Platform To Span Web, Console, Mobile · · Score: 1

    And if you were unfortunate enough to buy GTA IV via Steam then you need that as well.

  16. Re:Everything should be made out of ... on DIY CPU Thermal Grease, Using Diamond Dust · · Score: 1

    A lot of computer components are already gold-coated, mind you.

  17. Re:God hates censorship. on Ireland Criminalizes Blasphemy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    According to the new law, each religious person can be fined as each and every religion is blasphemous to every other, so atheists will simply shut up and watch as all religions sue themselves out of existence :p

  18. Re:Good to see it doing it's job on Something May Have Just Hit Jupiter · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Dude. If he had the technology to place a nearby asteroid in our orbit, then lack of rare minerals would be a minor inconvenience.

  19. Re:Good to see it doing it's job on Something May Have Just Hit Jupiter · · Score: 1

    I see a tiny problem here. In order for the amount of minerals to be actually useful at all, the asteroid would have to be quite large. And we all know the larger the asteroid, the bigger impact Earth gets.

  20. Re:Middle ground, jeez! on Can New Game Control Schemes Hope To Match the PC Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    We seriously need to find a middle ground for this issue.

    The future is now!

  21. Re:i love the keyboard and mouse on Can New Game Control Schemes Hope To Match the PC Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    Try Sangband or any other roguelike. 90% of the keyboard has some function assigned to it :p

  22. Re:It shouldn't be dangerous! on Early Abort of Ares I Rocket Would Kill Crew · · Score: 1

    Because we all know how no one gets hurt while driving a car. Or just walking during winter.
    If they knew how to make a rocket-science level undertaking on a grand scale perfectly safe, I'm sure they would do it already.

  23. Re:Wua.la on The Pirate Bay to Become a Distributed Storage Cloud? · · Score: 1

    E-Hentai.org also does just what the summary describes with their Hentai@Home client. Without they paywall.

  24. Re:better workaround on Microsoft Warns of New Video ActiveX Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    http://www.sandboxie.com/

    Is it really that hard to create new x64 versions of programs with such functions?
    I'd love to use it, but I can't as I'm running on Vista 64. So I'm stuck to running a whole VM to act as a sandbox.

  25. Re:Good advert for Eve... on Massive Bank Fraud In EVE Online · · Score: 1

    But you can't get your money stolen in EVE!
    Why would anyone give their cash to him?
