  1. maybe i'm weird... on Sega Cancels Merger With Sammy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ... but a merger with capcom would be pretty cool

  2. Re:Great.. on Prince of Pop-ups · · Score: 1

    two reasons why you won't see cigarettes and beer advertised on nickelodeon...

    1) it's illegal by federal law to advertise cigarettes on television

    2) it aint the target audience

    what you will see instead is advertisements for toys, toys, and more toys

    god yes... smacking your creatures was so fun!!

  4. Re:This could be only the start... on Apple is Porting iTunes to Windows · · Score: 1

    touch my minkey! touch it! love it!!

    seriously tho OSX on x86 is a discussion on /. that's occurred a billion times before... it seems like it would kill off their hardware divisions because the vast majority of users would prefer to go for the cheaper platform that performs just as well or better...

  5. Re:Weird Al Yankovic Interview on Penny Arcade vs. American Greetings · · Score: 2

    I seem to remember there being some fuss over whether Coolio had the right to use the Stevie Wonder song in the first place. I thought that Stevie Wonder disapproved of the Coolio version.

  6. Weapons of Mass Destruction on Firebird Name Debate Enters a New Stage · · Score: 1

    IBPhoenix representative Donald Humpsfeld spoke with reporters yesterday, informing the world that the United Softwares of America would not tolerate GNU nations creating and hiding weapons of mass destruction. Their preliminary plan was to "shock-and-awe," but several publications reported that witnesses to the plan-in-action were bored-and-stiff.

  7. Re:Errm... on ILM Now Capable of Realtime CGI · · Score: 1

    ya but ppl do stupid shit too ;)

  8. Re:Depends on Your Price Range on Shopping for a New Monitor? · · Score: 1

    aye, i can't accept anything below 85Hz... I run 1152@32bit with 100Hz refresh on a Nokia 446XS 19"

  9. Re:A sad state of affairs... on Federal Judge Rules Against Reverse-engineering · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You're wrong. The actual problem is that democracy is often the tyranny of the majority.

  10. Re:Another "must do" tweak on System Performace Tweaking? · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I think the only thing you need to keep "small" is the amount of fonts and the size of your registry!

  11. Re:I've got something for Sun to Amp... on Sun to Amp Java for Desktop Performance? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    that is totally uncalled for...

  12. Re:Jave for performance... on Sun to Amp Java for Desktop Performance? · · Score: 1

    yes, i realize that... he mentioned, "Jave", fool

  13. Re:Jave for performance... on Sun to Amp Java for Desktop Performance? · · Score: 1

    que? Javier?

    seriously, what are you referring to? A Google search came up with the Java ASCII editor... but somehow I don't think that's what you meant?

  14. Re:*BSD is dying on OpenBSD Packet Filter Changes Syntax Language · · Score: 1

    how many times are you going to post that, dorkwad? get a life...

  15. Animatrix on AI in Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    watch the first piece of the animatrix

    robots achieved sentience and we ended up waging a riot/war against them because they threatened our jobs (at first) and economy (after they founded their own city/country)

    so robots got pissed off and enslaved us all

  16. Re:No surprise. on Free IPv6 Subnets Are Going Away · · Score: 1

    IRECTAL

  17. Re:In other news LainOS preps for new IP rollout. on Free IPv6 Subnets Are Going Away · · Score: 1

  19. Re:never installed sp1! on XP Service Pack Slows Programs · · Score: 1

    let us know when the lawyer letters arrive from MS

  20. Re:people I know inside. on How Does One Become a Game Tester? · · Score: 1

    ... or by public beta, or "demo" releases...

  21. Get ready for low pay and long hours on How Does One Become a Game Tester? · · Score: 1

    Game testers get paid low wages for the often frustrating and mind-numbing work they do on pre-alpha through beta quality "games," and put in horrendous hours during the crunch times before certain deadlines (before demo releases, be it for online or a show like e3, or for milestones or gold master).

    Game programming (software development) is where the good pay is at for the same hours.

  22. Re:Great! on Mozilla 1.4 Alpha To Have ActiveX Support · · Score: 1

    ... because some people run Windows?
    Oh wait, I forgot. You are the center of the universe, aren't you?

  23. Re:Okay, but... on Freenet 0.5.1 Released, P2P Network Stabilizing · · Score: 1

    Gnutella has a crappy music selection compared to say, Kazaa (using Kazaa Lite of course).

  24. The Real Reason They Won't Do Xbox Live on EA, Eidos Have No Plans for Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    They already spent tons of money developing solutions for PS2, where there is no existing infrastructure, and the Xbox Live's setup is already in place (and MS will not compromise on certain features of the Xbox Live experience such as voice and being able to find and invite your friends no matter where they are or what game they are in). This was all from an interview with an MS Xbox honcho (i think on xbox.ign.com?). He stated that EA wasn't interested because they wanted to use the infrastructure they had already created.

  25. Re:Doesn't solve my problems with copyright at all on Forbes on Lessig and Eldred · · Score: 1

    no big surprise. forbes is pro big business
