  1. Re:obligatory... on Duke Nukem Forever Gets Delayed - Again · · Score: 1

    yeah that was where I was headed but decided the international audience here might not get it.

  2. WOW, they almost had me on Duke Nukem Forever Gets Delayed - Again · · Score: 4, Funny

    I thought it was really going to happen this time. Man, fool me once shame on you, fool me....like 20 times?

  3. End of the grind on Guild Wars 2 Devs Aiming For the Top · · Score: 1

    That would be great. That is the worst invention of all rpgs...the higher the level you get the longer it takes to get to the next reward. Why do game developers think adding boredom to the game somehow makes it better? I hope they make a great game and topple that regime.

  4. Re:Is That More Than a Brazillion? on Limewire Being Sued For 75 Trillion · · Score: 1

    That's a pres Bush joke.

  5. More than the entire worlds gnp? on Limewire Being Sued For 75 Trillion · · Score: 1

    I don't think they could ever be paid the amount asked for even if they won and the total amount is awarded. Maybe Limewire could hand over a few countries as a down payment.

  6. Re:I can hardly wait for it to come out on DVD on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 1

    Yeah I bought the last season on Amazon's digital download service, they come out the day after it airs so it's like having cable without needing to throw away money on the cable service.

  7. Could be worse on New FBI System IDs People By Voice, Iris, More · · Score: 2

    At least its not anal probes.....

  8. Re:In other news? on Facebook Bans 20,000 Kids a Day · · Score: 2

    It's a joke on the whole "Internet where the man are men the women are men and the children are FBI agents"

  9. In other news? on Facebook Bans 20,000 Kids a Day · · Score: 5, Funny

    20k undercover police officer's fake accounts banded perday from facebook.

  10. Protest on China Starts Censoring Phone Calls Mid Sentence · · Score: 1

    I wonder if millions....billions? of chinese were to all start picking up their phones and saying "protest" over and over again could they bring the system down entirely. That would be too awesome to actually happen in real life though :-(

  11. Good thinking china on China Starts Censoring Phone Calls Mid Sentence · · Score: 1

    Because cutting off their calls mid-sentence will make them think how much they love and trust their government?

  12. Re:Table. on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 1

    Except in this comparison the video camera has a bigger screen and better sound system than the TV and the TV can't play DVDs while the camera can.

  13. Re:500? on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 1

    Yeah but do those tables compete with his laptop?

  14. Honestly this is a good sense article on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 2

    Good sense that most people are missing. I really wanted a new tablet, I was looking at the Xoom, and while waiting for it to be released in WiFi only I looked around and noticed that I could get a laptop that had enough power to play full PC games, movies, and do everything anywhere on the web (flash, silverlight, whatever is out there is probably works on a PC) and all for the same price. The only advantage I see for tablets right now is size/weight, longer battery life and quick web browsing. They cost too much for that, maybe if I traveled all the time or spent a long time commuting on public transportation then I could find a use but for the most part they are just less capable than anything you could get for the same price elsewhere.

  15. Table? on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 1

    I don't know about everyone else but I try not to use my laptop as a table. It's too sensitive to water and tends to not sit far off the ground making sitting at my laptop for dinner more difficult.

  16. Re:this is the weirdest story ever on How the iPhone Led To the Sale of T-Mobile · · Score: 1

    So your contention is that the iphone on AT&T brought T-Mobile to it's knees and made it a take over candidate?

  17. Re:this is the weirdest story ever on How the iPhone Led To the Sale of T-Mobile · · Score: 2

    Its like the article writers are so in bed with apple they just can't write about the iphone enough. Any excuse to extol it's virtues and power is a good one. Never mind the competition because they aren't apple and only apple makes the things we love.

  18. Count down till.... on Dutch Radio Geek Tracking Libyan Airstrikes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The US military wants to "talk" this guy for his "spying".

  19. Re:Issue? on Google Accuses China of Interfering With Gmail · · Score: 1

    Is that you President Jintao?

  20. Re:I don't get it on Facebook Wedding Photos Result In Polygamy Arrest In Michigan · · Score: 1

    I believe it was because of Mormons, they believe in polygamy and the government considered them a threat so it became illegal.

  21. USAID on Internet-Spreading American Gets 15-Year Sentence In Cuba · · Score: 1

    Not defending this guy in particular but calling USAID a CIA cover is rather false. Perhaps some CIA people have said they worked for USAID but USAID itself is a fully independent organization that does a lot of good around the world. My wife works there is spends a lot of long hours trying to work to get money to forgotten little places in africa where people are still starving and dieing of disease in large numbers.

  22. Re:Why do you tolerate this? on AT&T To Introduce Broadband Caps · · Score: 1

    Because in the US our "Free Market" enforces monopolies on certain services like cable and telephone where in our choices are eliminated and competition restricted or outlawed. So in the end we had two or fewer decent choices in any given market.

  23. Re:Didn't mythbusters address this once? on Wi-Fi Shown To Interfere With Aircraft Systems · · Score: 1

    Mythbusters are never wrong! In point of fact though they may not have used this particular display and I believe they were testing cell phones and not wifi.

  24. Re:It doesn't seem to add up, though on DIY Laser Pistol Shoot 1MW Blasts · · Score: 1

    Well you have to consider the type of energy and more importantly the area of focus of the energy. When you shoot a gun there is as much recoil back into your hand as there is energy in the bullet but the gun doesn't go through your hand. If you take that 100g weight and make it dense enough to make it as small as a pin point and then drop that 10 cm onto a thin razor blade it might actually pierce it.

  25. Re:Total energy on DIY Laser Pistol Shoot 1MW Blasts · · Score: 1

    So this thing can bring me chocolate?!?!??!? Awesome!
