  1. Re:Angry? on Why Designers Hate Crowdsourcing · · Score: 1

    It hurts when people who have no design skills are using deviantart-ish images more suitable for sonic the hedgehog fanart.

    My dad was a commercial artist, and in the pre-internet days this would happen. He'd submit a bid, and he'd get MASSIVELY underbid on muralwork or design work by someone who paints houses for a living. It's not "fair", but some people don't know what's shit design-wise.

    If the ones paying get the design they like does it matter?

  2. Re:Prior Art on Cow Clicker Boils Down Facebook Games · · Score: 1

    (or so I heard).

    You bastard. Sneaking that Tvtropes link in there, don't you know that ruins lives.

  3. Re:I just found a bug... on Google Up Ante For Disclosure Rules, Increases Bug Bounty · · Score: 1

    Its a good thing the Chinese use yuans then. 3133.7 Chinese yuan = 462.5373 US dollars is a little better.

  4. Re:deh. on Passwords That Are Simple — and Safe(?) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I find a good way to get around those recovery questions is to lie on them. For example, every one that asks me "What is your mother's maiden name?" gets the same answer but not the truth.

  5. Re:No. on 4 Cores? 6 Cores? Do You Care? · · Score: 1

    Wow my sig has been that for months and nobody else noticed that.

  6. No. on 4 Cores? 6 Cores? Do You Care? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The headline asked a question, I answered it.

  7. Re:Hypospray. on Vaccine Patch Removes Needle Pain · · Score: 1

    Though that sounds much more like an amusing weapon than a means of healing someone.

    A gun that shoots healing? Genius!

  8. Re:You're going to charge me $30 upfront, right? on DRM vs. Unfinished Games · · Score: 1

    Don't you usually pay $60 for an unfinished game anyways? What's the last game you purchased that didn't require at least 1 or 2 updates to fix things that were broken from the start?

    Everything on my DS. The most recent being Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

  9. Re:BioWare has thrived with "blockbuster" games on BioWare On Why Making a Blockbuster Game Is a Poor Goal · · Score: 1

    It seems the formula has been found, and is a rail shotter like MW2.

    MW2 isn't a rail shooter, its a FPS. Wouldn't a rail shooter be more like Star Fox.

  10. 2nd link is bad. on The Chicken May Have Come Before the Egg · · Score: 1

    That page is an error page. Can someone find the real link?

  11. Re:Ultimately this wouln't go well. on Microsoft Shows Off 'Milo' Virtual Human · · Score: 3, Funny

    If it remembers people will have to get more creative as it learns those old tricks.

  12. Re:Great on Infants Ingest 77 Times the Safe Level of Dioxin · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's also recommended that infants hold breasts with their left hand.

    Bastards, getting to hold breasts and suck on them with that smug look on their face.

  13. Re:there are actually are limits in this world on Chile First To Approve Net Neutrality Law · · Score: 1

    (1) Possession of children having sex should be no more illegal than possession of murdered people.

    Bad analogy, if you are in possession of a body you could be tried as an accomplice.

  14. Re:Perhaps... on Nerds Still More Likely To Get Bullied · · Score: 1

    I live in Texas, could I use a shotgun instead?

  15. Re:Not Facebook! on Man Claims 84% of Facebook, Gets Order Blocking Assets · · Score: 1

    Humans are naturally drawn towards justice and fairness,

    When did that come about? Humans in general are more True Neutral than Lawful Good.

  16. Re:3 Physics engines. on Big Changes Planned For The Force Unleashed 2 · · Score: 1

    Because its the past? "A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."

  17. Re:With such a simple solution at hand.. on Consumer Reports Can't Recommend iPhone 4 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wouldn't call 25% of the smartphone market (40 million phones) small either.

    I wouldn't call what they have "25% of the smartphone market" either.

  18. Re:Excellent call! on Has Any Creative Work Failed Because of Piracy? · · Score: 1

    Bill Gates has said something to that manner too. "If they are going to pirate it may as well be Windows." (very paraphrased)

  19. Re:Leak It on Hack Exposes Pirate Bay User Data · · Score: 1

    Since when does civil law make criminals?

  20. Re:Shazam... on Open Source Music Fingerprinter Gets Patent Nastygram · · Score: 1

    It appears that he did.

  21. Re:Meh on Inside the Fake PC Recycling Market · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except that other system doesn't exist, not as long as humans are running it anyway.

    So we just need to let robots sort this out then.

  22. Re:Breaking news on 'Forest Bathing' Considered Healthful · · Score: 1

    I've also read studies that picking your nose and eating your boogers increases your immune system.

    I knew that wasn't a bad habit, but it can cause nosebleeds if your not careful.

  23. Re:Hmm.... on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    Step 5: get "ganked" by a big dude in prison who hasn't seen a woman in years.

    Wait a minute, thats not profit.

  24. Re:That doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong on Regular Domains Have More Malware Than Porn Sites · · Score: 1

    That is because they are high volume sites. Fat usually equals tits you know.

  25. Re:Wow... what a worthless article on Obama To Nearly Double the Available Broadband Wireless Spectrum · · Score: 1

    GP could have old pennies.
