  1. Re:Question- on Miyamoto Scrutinizes Mario, Zelda, Hails Portal · · Score: 1

    I think there is truth to it. Making the same game over and over gets stale. I know some people still love it, and consider my talk treason, but even the inventor of the IP is starting to think they're lame now. I just think the gaming companies would be better served (or, more accurately, the gamer community) by getting new content.

  2. Re:Question- on Miyamoto Scrutinizes Mario, Zelda, Hails Portal · · Score: 1

    Id like to add that I don't mind sequels- they continue the story. But, I don't like games that are just released and released, and released... over and over the story resets to 0 and you do something similar in a different story line.

  3. Question- on Miyamoto Scrutinizes Mario, Zelda, Hails Portal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why do gaming companies have to make 100 versions of the same franchise? I loved zelda, sure... infact, I still have the gold cartridge for it. But, its not the 80s anymore. Come up with something else.

  4. I dont get this on Paper Ballots Will Return In MD and VA · · Score: 1

    why does voting have to be so complex? Just make a basic electric logic system with buttons for obama, mccain, and various state/country props. It should not be normal computers, it should not be paper, because either are easily corrupted.
    I'm not saying the system would be foolproof, but I am saying that simplicity is stability.

  5. I'm no server technician on When Does Powering Down Servers Make Sense? · · Score: 1

    but wouldn't it make sense, if you have say, 10 servers, to keep 9 of them on and 1 off at all times, doing maintainance on the one that is off, and constantly rotating that?

  6. I dont mean to be rude, or anti progress.. but... on Secondlight, Microsoft's New Surface Prototype · · Score: 0, Redundant

    WHO. GIVES. A. DAMN?

  7. Wait a tick on Attack Code Found For Recent Windows Bug · · Score: 0, Troll

    So... this horrible deadly plague of terror only affects the products that microsoft is trying desperately to grandfather?

    Huh... Imagine that.

  8. Re:Not on 3G, EDGE only on Why Your Clock Radio Is All Abuzz About iPhones · · Score: 1

    It happens on other 3g devices. Blackjacks, blackberries, tilts, pc cards, pretty much anything that uses UMTS or EDGE will buzz. Perhaps they built in shielding for it in the iphone 3g, Dont know.
    I note that it occurs whenever data is transmitted, and that the sound changes depending on the sequence of data being transmitted, so I kind of think of it as the equivalent to the old noises that 56k modems made on the phone line.

  9. hmm on Canadian Court Rules "Hyperlink" Is Not Defamation · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wish all of my decisions were ten paged!

  10. This is what they needed cray for? on Black Holes May Not Grow Beyond Certain Limit · · Score: 1

    All of those super computers they use for these sorts of calculations....
    I think the scientists just use the crays to play 4000 instances of world of warcraft at once, and they just phone in the results of "oh, yeah, blackholes can only get really really big" "how big can they get?" "Umm... like... a hundred billion.... STARS."

  11. No big on PC Makers Try To Pinch Seconds From Their Boot Times · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Heres my system specs:
    -intel q6600
    -asus p5q deluxe
    -4 gigs of ram (gskill)
    -old harddrive from 2003ish (one i bought failed)
    -windows XP pro (runs in selective startup)

    My boot time is 22-26 seconds, even with my old junker hard drive, with a new one I expect that number to drop. You just need to turn stuff that you dont use off. I'm considering using a solid state disk for the OS, and a traditional high capacity HD for apps. I think that will help drop it atleast 4-5 seconds, but I dunno.

  12. Re:What effect DOES it have on the bacteria? on Hydrogen-Producing Bacteria Could Provide Clean Energy · · Score: 2, Funny

    You a PETB member?

  13. Meh on Exchanging Pictures To Generate Passwords · · Score: 1

    So if you take a photo of bob you ARE BOB?
    This brings identity theft to a whole new level, its like how african villagers are afraid cameras will steal their soul.

  14. So? on Evolutionary Scientists Test-Drive Spore, Gripe · · Score: 1

    Does tribes display tribal warfare accurately?
    Does counterstrike depict an accurate representation of a counter-terrorist offensive?

  15. Re:Id buy it on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I have no idea if it is, I just kind of assumed.
    Is it?
    Anyone know?

  16. Hold on just a second. on Dutch Court Punishes Theft of Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    What made you think you had the right to kill that murloc, buddy?
    You're coming downtown with me...

  17. Id buy it on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Id totally buy one, but I'm an ATT customer, and they havn't released one for ATT yet. Ill gladly swap my sim into one if i could find an unlocked one.

  18. Finally! on Researchers Developing Cancer-Fighting Beer · · Score: 1

    I guess scientists have finally heard what people say after they hear about studies into the migratory patterns of certain species of goose. And they did it!

  19. No. on Dojo: Using the Dojo JavaScript Library · · Score: 0

    Honestly, fuck dojo. Javascript does not need libraries. Old people get their hands on every language and try to make it more complicated that it needs to be / is.

  20. Re:God Dammit on LucasArts, Bioware Announce Star Wars MMO · · Score: 1

    yes we do. theres like two sci fi mmos that are playable.

  21. PETA on Dead Goldfish Offered The Vote In Illinois · · Score: 5, Funny

    Looks like PETA finally got what they wanted. Damn lobbyists.

  22. Meh on Simulation of the Mars Science Laboratory Sky Crane · · Score: 1

    That video was boring. Why dont they just make a mini helicopter to decelerate the thing? Or is the air too thin for that?

  23. gmail on Spam Flood Unabated After Bust · · Score: 1

    gmail. nuff said.

  24. No big on iGoogle Users Irate About Portal's Changes · · Score: 1

    Just make your own web page if you dont like the igoogle one. Embedding google search in one you make is easy.

  25. Re:And the rest... on Every Email In UK To Be Monitored · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It does not matter if they're unable to do it effectivly now. The thing is, they are trying to. That is why this whole thing smells of bull shit. What the flying fuck happened to civil rights? More and more we see governments walk all over them with no explaination whatsoever. This is unacceptable. We not only need to bill burned, we need to see someone fired for drafting it.
