  1. Re:No Cake? :( on Microsoft's Treatment of Google Defectors · · Score: 1

    Microsoft employees should be relieved that there is no promise of cake at the end of their employment.

  2. Gymkata on Psychoanalyzing Resident Evil and Silent Hill · · Score: 1

    I think I know what inspired at least parts of Resident Evil 4:

  3. Re:Guidelines, not just icons? on Tango Project to Make Open Source Beautiful? · · Score: 1

    The guidelines will come with the Cash Project.

  4. Re:when they on When Will E-Books Become Mainstream? · · Score: 1
    Victor Hugo's "The Man Who Laughs" and many other books are legally available for free at http://www.gutenberg.org/.

    I also made a bookmarklet to bookmark a paragraph in any html or text.

    Of course this is only a solution for devices that can read html files and plain text and does not offer any special ebook functionalities.

  5. Re:Sorny doesn't like the DS? on Sony Describes DS As Gimmick · · Score: 1

    To avoid calling the kettle black, I'll state for the record that my post just might be stupid, redundant, and uninformative. :)

    Yep but it's also interesting and a bit insightful.

  6. Re:Coming from someone with a DS on What's Up With The PSP? · · Score: 1

    And Advance Wars DS. I don't have a DS yet but I will buy one for that along with Meteos and Kirby.

  7. Re:RIA? on IBM Donates Code to Firefox · · Score: 1

    Whatever, I think it's a good thing for International Business Machines to contribute code to an Open Source Software.

  8. Re:Dating Methods on 190 Million Year Old Dinosaur Embyro · · Score: 1, Insightful
    To be fair, not all biblical literalists think this 6000 year number is anywhere near accurate. Many accept values between 10 and 30 thousand years.
    So what? Between 10 and 30 thousand years is as retarded as 6000. Life on earth began billions of year ago.
  9. Re:Homeworld on How Games And Religion Could Mix · · Score: 1

    I once read in PC Gamer that the Homeworld developers where influenced by Battlestar Galactica quest for the thirteenth tribe. Battlestar Galactica itself containing many themes inspired from the Mormon religion.

  10. That's no volcano on Japan Probes Mysterious Vapor Eruption · · Score: 1

    Looks like Dagon's pissed off.

  11. Re:Dup Fusion on France to Be Site of World's First Nuclear Fusion · · Score: 5, Funny

    And that's why they cause servers meltdown.

  12. Re:Missing holiday season that bad? on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    This is tiresome, N64 was not a flop. They sold more than 30 million N64. Most of their first-party titles were million-sellers. They sold more than 7 million copies of Goldeneye.

    Sony did not take away market share from Nintendo, they expanded the market. Sony won that generation, there is no contest about that but N64 was hardly a flop.

  13. Re:Actually, I think it's pretty bright... on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1
    Nintendo finally learned this.

    GameCube was Nintendo first disk-based console, so it's normal that they only started implementing backward compatibility now.

    It would have been expansive and awkward to make GameCube both use disk and N64 cartridges

  14. Re:Flash on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    You have to click on the procede to nintendo.com link and then click on the link in the /. summary to bypass the no-flash warning.

  15. Re:No MTV Special on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1
    The Revolution won't be televised

    Might be even more true now.

    PS: I know it's fake.

  16. Re:Is a single option here a selling point? No. on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Nintendo has always been one of the most secretive companies in the game industry. They are releasing these "features" only to combat Microsoft recent announcements. And to some degree it works, people are talking about it.

    The interesting features will probably be announced at their pre-e3 conference, Tuesday. Although, at this point, it is still unclear how much they will talk about the "innovative" aspects of their next console.

  17. Re:Weird... on Firefox nears 50 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    I think it's because of the following text links:

    http://www.jacquii186.home.comcast.net to promote Firefox!

    and

    http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item= 5184143263

    that makes the second column of the table overflow. Page 2 displays correctly.

  18. The Adblock Mantra on Google Upgrades AdSense · · Score: 1

    It is by animated gif alone I set my adblock in motion.
    It is by the animation of images that ads acquire annoyance, the pages acquire stains.
    The stains become a warning.
    It is by animated gif alone I set my adblock in motion.

  21. Re:Wow, the entire history!!! on The History of Mozilla Firefox · · Score: 1

    Yep, in those days we had to walk to the only place in town that had Internet access, uphill both ways, in order to get a copy.

  22. Re:that Nunavat beachfront property ... on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Nunavut is a territory not a province.

  23. Re:Malicious XPI's exist already on Spyware for Firefox Coming This Year? · · Score: 1

    I selected the URL http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=6434 1 and used the Web Search for functionality of mozilla and got this as a result.
