  1. Re:K.I.S.S. - simplicity is key on Worm Developed for Nokia Series-60 Phones · · Score: 2, Funny

    yeah, my t720 came bundled with a virus

  2. Here it comes on Midway Takeover Looking More Likely? · · Score: 2, Funny

    A street fighting style game pitting characters from TRL, 106 and Park (BRL), and whatever the hell CMT has on in the afternoon.

  3. Re:Not good on Aonuma Talks Zelda's Past, Nintendo DS Zelda Plans · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not adhering to the old technology, but at least realizing the core elements that made people love the games in the first place. People didn't play Zelda for the whiz-bang graphics, it was the puzzles and the plot (which was more of a plot framework until later games).

  4. Not good on Aonuma Talks Zelda's Past, Nintendo DS Zelda Plans · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He couldn't play/didn't appreciate the original Zelda? IMO he shouldn't be allowed within the same building as a team that's working on a new one. There's a lot of love for the old characters who're still around and fans expect at least some level of character integrity over the years; beating the first game should be part of the application process to touch any future Zelda game.

  5. Sri Lanka on Teaching History In Schools With Video Games · · Score: 1

    I will never forget that Sri Lanka had a Lion on its flag. One of those facts that will never leave my brain...

    Hit it Rockapella!

  6. In the year 2000.... on SPF To Be Integrated With MS 'Caller ID' System · · Score: 2, Funny

    You will be truly disturbed to find out that your Grandmother is apparently the one who's been pushing for you to use Cialis.

  7. Great Article: on Out of Gas · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Cold Turkey by none other than great hero to the geek race Kurt Vonnegut. It compares America to a junkie who's having trouble finding that last fix.

    A highly recommended read on what appears to be a similar topic. My favorite line:
    There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don't know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president.

  8. Re:Finally... on New Evidence About 'The Great Dying' 250 Million Years Ago · · Score: 2, Funny

    So that's why Bush is so interested in going to the Moon and Mars...

  9. Re:Oi, reminds me... on SCO Caught Copying · · Score: 1

    Darl's life is being DDOS'ed

  10. Home and Garden Network on Refresh your Memory: Advanced Graphics Algorithms · · Score: 4, Funny

    They have a show for this now, "Trading Mesh Algorithms with Pseudo-fractal Post-processing" or TMAWPFPP for short.

    Will they use quadratic?
    Who knows!?!

    Pure excitement...

  11. Pirates or Patriots on Microbroadcasting Summer Camp · · Score: 1

    A thousand little stations send radio programming across cities and towns from senior centers

    Yeesh... I mean, old people and I both love Sinatra, but yeesh... that's a powder keg of boredom and crazy ranting waiting to go off...

  12. In other news... on A Public Library's Linux Success Story · · Score: 2, Funny

    Microsoft has just announced software to compete directly with the Howard County Public Library. It's called PowerBrary and seeks to offer more functionality and better security than your common book.
    Due out FY07.

  13. Hollywood on The Politics of the Video Game · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Well, we all know Hollywood sure can't. Game developers don't have quite the level of celebrity or exposure, but they are conveying a message.
    It's hard to make something realistic and not weigh in an opinion.

  14. I smell sitcom! on This Robot Collects Fingerprints · · Score: 4, Funny

    Two members of the bomb squad, like a modern day odd couple and their lovable sarcastic robot friend who squirts super glue on them. Hijinx... ready.... GO!!!1

  15. Actually, actually, this story is RIGHT on IT Workers Not Eligible for Overtime in New Rules · · Score: 5, Informative

    From Misleader.org

    In a move designed to blur the issue, the Administration today said it was revising its previous effort to terminate overtime protections for 8 million workers. But even by the Bush Administration's own admission, the "new" regulations will mean that tens of thousands of lower-income workers will be cut off. Opponents of the Administration's plan say that the revisions would still cause problems for mean millions. The regulations are so bad for workers that some state legislatures have even rushed through legislation to block them.

  16. A brief scenario on WirelessCabin: Use Your Mobile Phone on Airplanes · · Score: 4, Funny

    There's always that one lady with the super high-pitched voice and horrible accent (I'm picturing Fran Drescher) who just has to talk about something horrifically mindless. She's been on planes before, but decorum was preserved by the fact that her friend fell asleep with all the other normal people. Now she can ring up her equally annoying family and drone on through every time zone, I can't wait...

  17. Re:Speed is nice... on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: 3, Funny

    coming Q1 2007:

    PornStation
    by Flynt Publishing

    or maybe the iPorn from Apple, for super highspeed porn on the go

  18. Re:Mouse Pad? on Seven Color LED Mousepad · · Score: 2, Funny

    I had an old Guinness mouse pad, it looked too nice to throw away, so I put it up on the wall when I went optical. This was fine for college, girls just aren't impressed by that kind of interior design anymore though.

  19. Re:illegal in many places on Paid To Spam · · Score: 1

    People who hire contract killers can also be brought up on charges though. This should be "conspiracy to be a dumbass" and be punishable by chemical castration.

  20. Godwin's Law on Usenet Audio · · Score: 4, Funny

    I assume this would apply to songs written by or mentioning Nazis?

  21. Re:Not a Joke on People with real l337 speak names? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, we at least know of one bug in first version: bad naming conventions.

  22. Misprint on Omniscience Protocol · · Score: 5, Funny

    "to remotely destroy the computer of any user who has been involved in copyright infringement"

    I think they actually meant:
    "to remotely destroy the user of any computer who has been involved in copyright infringement"

  23. Re:Tomorrow's Scout on Microdrone Spy Planes · · Score: 1

    more like

    Tomorrow's Scout = One Mosquite micro-UAV

    Seems to me like he's only being about 60% of what he can be.
    - Jon Stewart

  24. Re:Wal-Mart unfair to small websites on Wal-Mart Relaunches Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    a quick googling of mom and pop website lead hilariously to this

  25. Re:King Louie's head on a toaster oven. Creepy. on Meet Lucy, The Orangutan Robot · · Score: 0

    Forget artificial intelligence, they've created the first android butter (but-her) face.

    Yeah, she's got some nice internals, but her face....
