  1. Re:Oooooh Sin City! on Violent Video Gaming Comes To the Wii · · Score: 1

    There are a number out already.

    Of course, stuff like GTAIV didn't come to the Wii, but it doesn't mean more mature titles aren't out there. See other comments for some suggetions.

  2. Re:it's a shame on The Evolution of Sega · · Score: 1

    Well, that's what they said about the Lynx versus the Gameboy. And others.

    Technological superiority doesn't guarantee success by a long shot.

  3. Re:Why? on US Broadband Won't Catch Up With Japan's For 101 Years · · Score: 1

    You think you guys have it slow? Move to NZ, and we'll show you a new meaning.

    For the record, NZ's broadband speeds are among the worst in the OECD. And the situation isn't exactly progressing.

  4. Re:If that was true.... on Cooking Stimulated Big Leap In Human Cognition · · Score: 1

    Well, they did come up with the 'fridge alarm'.

    See, fat guys invent stuff too.

  5. Regional social networks, not new on Friendster Going Strong In Asia, Maybe Soon In Court · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not that unusual. For example, Neoxepia [sp?] is very popular in Canada, while hi5 is popular in Latin American countries.

  6. Data on library computers on FBI Seizes Library Computers Without Warrant · · Score: 2, Informative

    What would it be anyway? Most library computers I've used don't even connect to the internet, but rather just their online catalogue.

    Some I know provide net access, although I presume websites are restricted/monitored.

  7. Re:New York Times on NYT Explores the World of Internet Trolls · · Score: 2, Funny

    You must be thinking of the New York Post.

    Or perhaps its affiliate, the Hot Sex Weekly.

  8. Re:Heard an interesting story... on Politician Takes Enlightened Stance on Gaming · · Score: 1

    This pretty, stupid, for a lack of better words.

    I mean, seriously, kids playing with loaded guns. What could go wrong?

  9. Re:TRUFAX. on Police Shame Pranksters On YouTube · · Score: 1

    I doubt pranksters are up for paying fines, either.

  10. Re:Jet Packs & You - Legal on Practical Jetpack Available "Soon" · · Score: 1

    Not just that, you need a whole new set of rules/regulations and what not for anything that provides personal flight.

    Flying cars need traffic laws too.

  11. Re:Armageddon? on Nukes Not the Best Way To Stop Asteroids, Says Apollo Astronaut · · Score: 1

    Sure, he can stop the asteroid by blocking it with his huge ego.

  12. Re:I enjoy the anonimity of the Internet. on UK Facebook User's Name Appropriation Draws Huge Libel Suit · · Score: 1

    You should've posted as anon, then.

  13. Re:Losing Anonymity? on Google's Knol, Expert Wiki, Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Hardly. Your IP is logged in history of changes to articles anyway.

    You may as well get an account, if you're going to do some real editing.

    And not vandalism!!

  14. Re:Good Point. on Video Game Movies "Not Creative Expression" · · Score: 1

    Agreed.

    You can really only learn so much from screenshots, reviews, and such.

    Got to see something in action before making a choice, right?

  15. And then there are touchpads on Computer Mouse Heading For Extinction · · Score: 1

    Already thesedays they're complusory for laptops/notebooks [being built into the system]. Will they become more commonplace for desktops too?

  16. Re:What's really missing... on Did E3 Just Gasp Its Last Breath? · · Score: 1

    Why not Booth Boys?

    Oh yeah. Right.

  17. Re:Shocked on Logged In or Out, Facebook Is Watching You · · Score: 1

    There has been increasing evidence that employers are researching data about prospective employees by looking up their social networking sites.

    But you're still a long way off from being asked for what social sites you use on a job form, haha.

  18. Re:Yes but... on Spore Creatures Now Outnumber Known Earth Species · · Score: 1

    It really says something about the people who'll play this game, no?

  19. Re:fall of open email on Fallout From the Fall of CAPTCHAs · · Score: 1

    "ones in which people need permission before they can contact another person"

    Is that really the best idea? I absolutely hate it when, someone on a social networking site, mails you for whatever reason.

    Then you try to reply back, only to see that you can't, because they haven't given you permission to contact them through settings or whatever.

  20. Re:Well there goes the history of decent quality.. on Final Fantasy XIII Is Coming To Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    I'll just mention that 2 particular FF titles have started life on the PS [PS1, to be specific], and eventually got ported to the PC. The opposite of what you mentioned.

    Those are games 7 and 8, for the record.

  21. Pinball on 20 Features Windows 7 Should Include · · Score: 1

    Yes, Space Cadet Pinball.

    This needs to be included with all Windows again [even work licences].

  22. Dangerous if it crashed on The Very Worst Uses of Windows · · Score: 1

    Looking at the list and the important tech applications it runs, if some of those Windows failed or glitched, people might be in serious danger.

    Not so dangerous for the certificate kiosk, but vital for systems like train controls, and med equipment.

  23. Re:Not free. Digital downloads, easy updates. on Free Games As a Solution To Game Piracy · · Score: 1

    Nice thinking, but of extremely limited use to the consumers with slow internet speeds, data caps, limited accessibility, and so on.

    They play games too.

  24. The first 2 games were best on Broken Sword Legend Speaks · · Score: 1

    For those that don't know what they are it was The Shadow of the Templars [which was about the Knights of the Templar] and The Smoking Mirror [about the Mayan culture].

  25. Re:Baroom Series by Edgar Rice Burroughs on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    Those books are excellent. More importantly, they're also free, woot.

    Also by Burroughs, the Lost World is a nice read.
