  1. extensions on Browser Speed Comparisons · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Interesting results. Firefox may be slower at rendering than IE and Opera, but I love the Firefox extension that disables auto-running flash elements in a page. For whatever reason, my work computer locks up on certain flash pages and this was a huge help.

  2. Re:Not bad on Next Generation Xbox To Be Called Xbox 360? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sure the BufferOverflowBox would follow the ZBox.

  3. Not bad on Next Generation Xbox To Be Called Xbox 360? · · Score: 1

    Not a bad name, but the YBox would have been better.

  4. Plenty of originality online on The Fight for Original Games · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you're looking for originality, try some of the low (and no) budget games online. Here are a few I like.

    The GameShow!: Daily complete-the-phrase puzzle. Each game lasts a month and has about 100-150 players.

    Kingdom of Loathing: Hilarious web based RPG

    X-Kings: Turn based strategy game with thousands of players

    See my own web based game in the sig...

  5. Re:Well on Can Microsoft Beat Google? · · Score: 0, Troll

    "The power and information google has and will continue to imporve upon is scary."

    Did you mean: improve

  6. Re:Of course it's not art. on Is Computer-Created Art, Art? · · Score: 1

    "With regards to Pollack, you are incorrect. His paintings were genuinely random"

    He said his painting weren't random. In the movie Ed Harris said, "I defy the accident."

  7. Re:Aborted Fetuses = Murdered Children on US Stem Cells Contaminated · · Score: 1

    I think a better term is "murdered children"

    Murder is defined as "the unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice." So you can't murder someone in self-defense and the government can't murder someone by lethal injection. The word "murder" specifically applies to deaths that are against the law, which abortion clearly is not.

  8. Re:Irony on Programming Until Retirement? · · Score: 1

    I think he meant he paid $10,000 in property taxes when he "owned" the home.

  9. Re:Well on What You'll Wish You'd Known · · Score: 1

    Actually, Rodney went back to comedy in his forties. He gave it up in his 20s or 30s.

  10. Re:Who wants to live forever, when love must die? on Do You Want to Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    If you haven't noticed, population is not rising in most developed nations.

  11. Re:No offense to everyone here on TiVo Moves to Bypass Cable · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Where are the Knight Riders, the Happy Days, the Sledge Hammers?"

    Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

  12. Re:Knighthood has lost its "gold" on Sir Peter Molyneux? · · Score: 4, Funny

    "I mean, have you seen some of the people who have been Knighted? Charleton Heston, Peter Falk, Bob Hope, etc."

    Whatever, Peter Falk is awesome.

  13. MOD UP!!! on Subatomic Darwinism · · Score: 1

    If I had mod points I'd use them.

    You're exactly right that people are interpreting analogies of quantum physics instead of actual quantum physics.

  14. Re:What's the problem? on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 1

    " IIRC, the R-ratings at movie theaters are a movie industry policy. There's no _law_ enforcing it per se."

    In some states it actually is a law. I know it's like that in North Carolina where you have to be 18 to see an R-rate movie, which is ridiculous because most 14 year olds wouldn't be harmed at all from seeing something in a rated R movie.

  15. Re:A population that old? on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1

    I don't get the insightful mods either. Hopefully the meta mods will do there jobs here.

    On the other hand, pop culture would definitely change when people start sticking around for hundreds of years.

  16. Re:A population that old? on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1

    In all seriousness, I'm 100% in favor of life expansion.

  17. A population that old? on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Think of the Matlock ratings!

  18. As a former stockholder... on Buy a Piece of Acclaim · · Score: 2, Funny

    As a former stockholder in Acclaim I say, "good riddance." Also, can I get my $600 back?

  19. Re:No time soon, methinks. on Will Our Cars Become Our Chauffeurs? · · Score: 1

    "In the USA, the risk of lawsuits will surely delay this kind of thing for a long time to come."

    Or the opposite could happen. Cars may be able to drive themselves to well that it won't make economic sense to drive yourself.

  20. most spammed man on Gates 'World's Most-Spammed Man' · · Score: 5, Funny

    What does he expect when he keeps sending out those email tracking programs?

  21. Re:Please tell me on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1, Redundant

    "Why should I switch from Mozilla to Firefox?"

    If thunderbird crashes, firefox doesn't crash with it and vice versa. Granted, I don't get that many crashes, but sometimes a flash app will load too slowly and at least I'm able to check my email in the mean time.

  22. Re:PostNuke on PostNuke Open Source CMS Attacked · · Score: 1

    That's why they forked it.

    As for PHP, the more I use it the more I like Perl.

  23. Re:PostNuke on PostNuke Open Source CMS Attacked · · Score: 1

    PostNuke is a popular fork of the more famous CMS, PHP-Nuke.

  24. emergencies not just for professionals on France to Allow Cell Phone Jamming · · Score: 1

    Just because you aren't an emergency professional doesn't mean you don't have emergencies.

  25. Re:First Post? on France to Allow Cell Phone Jamming · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "You go on about some concert as if it was the second coming of Christ. Don't you realise it's just a fucking concert?"

    His only comment on the concert was, "It was simply awesome!" That doesn't sound like the "second coming of Christ" to me.
