  1. Re:sport? on Comedy Central Cancels BattleBots · · Score: 1

    Volleyball, a contest.

    Volleyball has two teams defending against each other, that is definately a sport.

  2. Re:About time.. on Comedy Central Cancels BattleBots · · Score: 1

    What they need to do is pick up the broadcast rights to the old Monty Python shows and MST 3000.

    Conan O'brian, while a rehash, is a nice addition.

    And please.. no more Ab-fab weekends.

    I'm confused.. when you put on Condom Number One (the outer condom) backwards to screw the third woman, wouldn't you be getting woman number 1's STD juice in your penis hole?

    gah.. whats wrong with the eyes on those drawings??? And the mouths.....

    How did this guy get a comic strip?

    that was lenny dykstra. I think.

  7. Re:So now the MPAA is good? on Star Wars Episode II DVD Release on Nov. 12 · · Score: 1

    Martin: How about this, guys? Bart can have it Mondays and Thursdays, Milhouse will get it Tuesdays and Fridays, and yours truly will take it Wednesdays and Saturdays.
    Bart: Perfect!
    Milhouse: Wait a minute! What about Sundays?
    Bart: Yeah, what about Sundays?
    Martin: Well, Sunday possession will be determined by a random number generator. I will take the digits 1 through 3, Milhouse will have 4 through 6, and Bart will have 7 through 9.
    Bart: Perfect!
    Milhouse: Wait a minute! What about 0?
    Bart: Yeah, what about 0?
    Milhouse: Yeah.
    Martin: Well, in the unlikely event of a 0, possession will be determined by Rock Scissors Paper competition, best 3 out of 5. How's that?

    offtopic, that was a recursive post!

  9. Re:Google and copyright? on Borrowing ROMs · · Score: 1

    I think if you put some lines in your robot.txt file you can specifically exclude googles searchbots.

    Furthermore, I believe they have a web form that you can fill out if you would like them to remove something of this sort.

  10. Re:Changes the dynamic of the business on Borrowing ROMs · · Score: 1

    I could be wrong about this, especially as far as games, but at least for movies don't they get Rental copies from the manufacturer for like 200 bucks each, so they can have them before its out for the public to buy for 20 bucks?

    Games I know are probably different, do they obtain a special license to rent, or do they head down to the local wal mart and pick up a stack of 10 copies of mario sunshine?

  11. Re:Forget it on Ziff Davis Teeters · · Score: 1

    CGW has been going downhill for a number of year, I'm sorry to say.

    Even though I'm not into the genre, it was much better getting my gaming news from hardcore 40-year old wargamers who really valued gameplay above all else in every category.

    Now, in addition to getting much thinner (understandable) the article quality has went way down, and its not much better than reading a GameFAQs review sometimes. They always think they are funnier than the simpsons writers too, throwing in sarcastic jokes every other sentence.

    Give that Magazine 5 more years and it will look like a Counterstrike message board: half the articles will be in leet-speak and they will probably headline "Sim City 5 is gh3y!" (shudder)

    Real WRITERS used to run that magazine. :sigh:

  12. Re:This technology is evil on Spy Fly · · Score: 1

    well, those nukes might prove useful if that asteroid is going to hit us in 2019.

  13. Screw espionage, think of the porn opportunites! on Spy Fly · · Score: 1

    Just release a few videocamera insects into the sorority house next-door! It will be like revenge of the nerds all over again!

  14. Airflow/Heat on Modern Retro computing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think the NES/Atari Boxes look great, but I'm curious as to how well they do airflow-wise with a 800Mhz processor inside??

    I seem to recall my those systems could get a little warm just playing their cartridges.

    Cool idea, though.

  15. Re:Switch time? on Switch Different · · Score: 2, Funny

    this isn't everything2, you don't need to make pointless links in your post.

  16. Re:Wow! That makes two! on Make Money Fast Online · · Score: 1

    you forgot gambling.

    I belong to a sports gambling forum that charges an ungodly amount like 13 bucks a clickthrough for its ads.

    Its far more lucrative than porn, cause there is no "greenguys link-o-rama" for gamblers. I mean sure, you can play "yahoo slots", but that isn't quite the same in relation to gambling as free porn is to well, pay porn.

  17. Re:Exclusive schools do all kinds of sneaky things on Princeton Hacks Yale, Harvard Not Surprised · · Score: 1

    well.. at least you told us it was the "University of MN" before you went about referring to it as the "U". Thats more than I can say for most residents of the Twin Cities.

  18. Re:technically, that's correct on Princeton Hacks Yale, Harvard Not Surprised · · Score: 1

    well, some people could use a good convincing that "gay" != "sucks", no matter what Eric, Stan Kyle and Kenny say.

  19. Re:Certs? on Cert Slamming, or, Desperate Companies Behaving Badly · · Score: 1

    Not at all. Certs are just as good as if not better then Altoids. You just think Altoids are better cause they've run an ad campaign to make themselves out a independent, non-corporate, alternative breath mint.

    Its not unlike people who thought their converse shoes and sketchers less corporate and more independent than Nike and Adidas.

    So eat some fucking certs. They're good.

  20. Re:Finally! on F-22 Avionics Require Inflight Reboot · · Score: 1

    You went to the University of North Dakota too?

    I hear they are on to Java as of a year or two ago.

  21. Re:If the original owners are making money on it.. on Blender Fund Raises EUR18,000 In Three Days · · Score: 1

    I've given them none. I didn't even know what Blender was until I read the article. Some sort of 3D toolkit?

    I think its great that the community is pooling money to buy things and open the source. I was merely refuting the original posters use of "non-profitable" when describing Blender.

    My point was that if we make a habit of buying up old software we like a a community, then software makers, when doing there budget will plan in that they have some percentage chance of making extra profit (selling to open source geeks) when the software commercially dies.
    While not in the traditional sense, that would be "profit".

    I just thought he should have reffered to is as "not commercially viable" instead of "non profitable", as its obviously still making profit (from us).

  22. If the original owners are making money on it.. on Blender Fund Raises EUR18,000 In Three Days · · Score: 1

    ...by selling it to geeks like us, then is it really "unprofitable" software? I'd say that would just be the final way to squeeze money (profit) out of a dead product: sell it to the geeks.

  23. Re:Phreakers.... on House OKs Life Sentences For Hackers · · Score: 1

    i think he just likes the letters "Ph".

    A true geek would know that the letter "F" is more efficient, saves memory, time, etc....

    what the hell? Offtopic, maybe, but not a troll. I AM a gambling addict. I have to go figure out what I'm going to bet on game one of the Texas doubleheader today.
