  1. Re:In Soviet Russia.... on China Detains Internet Essayist for Subversion · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Ah, I see. Another poster who missed what we call "sarcasm."

  2. In Soviet Russia.... on China Detains Internet Essayist for Subversion · · Score: -1, Troll

    Authorities detain YOU!

    wait....

  3. Re:One big difference on Suing Your Customers: Winning Business Strategy? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I read the article. The patent applied to a specific type of combustion engine, not the one Ford was using.

    Thank you, please drive through.

  4. One big difference on Suing Your Customers: Winning Business Strategy? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The judge wasn't constrained by laws such as the DMCA and other nonsense that favors business over innovation. The same scenario today would probably have swung against Ford, despite public support.

  5. Re:Delayed anyways? on Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak · · Score: 1

    Yup. About sums it up.

  6. What about Windows Crashes? on IBM Introduces 'Air Bags' For Laptop Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Can they create an air for when Windows crashes? I'd like my computer to be safe from those too!

  7. Re:Standards? What standards? on Designing With Web Standards · · Score: 1

    Why waste a mod point on an AC?

  8. Standards? What standards? on Designing With Web Standards · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since when does the web have standards?

  9. Questionable on Berkeley Breathed Back in the Funnies · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This makes me very happy. Except what exactly does "'Opus' will run on Sundays only and will fill half a page in the comics section" mean?

    A half a page? How likely will this be picked up by papers if it's half a freaking page? I'd love to see it, but that may be asking too much from papers.

  10. Re:Already on Mystery Tiles From Around the World · · Score: 1

    If they are, then repent, for the end is nigh!

  11. Re:Nice work indeed! on ISP Recovers in 72 Hours After Leveling by Tornado · · Score: 1

    At least I had something constructive to say rather than a "ha ha ISP down means no pr0n" post like I'm seeing.

  12. Nice work! on ISP Recovers in 72 Hours After Leveling by Tornado · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is what happens when people make intelligent plans and the modify them as they see other plans work or fail. I'm glad to see that this was a work in progress rather than some arcane plan in a binder somewhere that no one ever looked at.

  13. And in other news.... on Games and the 'Geek Stereotype' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So games won't be fun unless they're designed to be fun? What will they realize next? Software won't be easy to use unless they put some thought into the interface.

    This is why older games are still popular, with less graphics and sound to work with, the hook had to be the game itself. You had to play it because you wanted to play it, not because it looked pretty.

  14. Heaven Forbid! on Divx Now Adware Supported Only · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Heaven forbid that the developers might want some compensation out of their efforts.

  15. Re:So does this mean? on After-School Hacking Special · · Score: 1

    Damn!! Missed it by that much!

  16. So does this mean? on After-School Hacking Special · · Score: 1, Funny

    We'll soon see an ABC Afterschool Special about hacking? That'd be hilarious!

  17. You need on What Kind Of Computer To Bring To College? · · Score: 4, Funny

    a phat 1337 gaming rig. Use that bandwidth, baby.

  18. Computon? on Buying Computing by the Computon · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a measure of how much bloatware I've got running on my computer....

  19. Re:About what I would expect from Sony on Spiderman, Sony vs Marvel · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, Sony made the Playstation out of said technology.

    And gaming goodness ensued.

  20. To avoid this... on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can't I just start ordering things from companies based in other countries? Say, a Canadian company? No tax then, right?

  21. They forgot a couple protests... on Organizing Sim Protests · · Score: 5, Funny

    Virtual women burning their virtual bras....oh...wait...it's a family game.

    Maybe letting people die of heart attacks in at the kiosks and haunting them?

  22. Hell on Star Trek: Pick A Plot · · Score: 1

    I'd just settle for a decent TV show.

  23. idea on How Should You Interview a Programmer? · · Score: 2

    Ask them how much they've done in the past 3 months to improve their skills. If they say nothing, show them the door. A good programmer is always looking to expand their skillset in some way.

  24. The perfect motivator on Motivating Your Co-Developers? · · Score: 2, Troll

    Beer. Lots of beer.

  25. Re:Well I wouldn't buy a DVD for extra footage... on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD · · Score: 2

    The brooches were, however, SHOWN in the movie as the company left Lothlorien.
