  1. Tribes 1 speed & gameplay with new graphics on How Steam Revived a Dead Game · · Score: 1

    I loved Tribes so much

  2. Re:Volunteer? on Scientists Use fMRI To (Sort of) Read Minds · · Score: 5, Funny

    The paw the ground once for yes, and eat you for no.

  3. Re:Should have included PostgreSQL and DB2 on Refactoring SQL Applications · · Score: 1

    Wow. 35 million! That's heaps!

    Is that the sum of rows in all tables? # of members? Transactions? User audit entries?

  4. 3 mins 19secs on One Billionth Halo 3 Game Played · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Isn't that how long most Halo players last in the presence of a woman?

  5. Re:Sometimes the simplest statement is the best on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 1

    What movie was this? Sounds like my sort of humour ^_^

  10. Re:Yep, Its true on One Broken Router Takes Out Half the Internet? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, Mages are known for powdering their cheekbones. Rogue's on the other hand, like to stab people in the back.

  11. Re:Pre-FUD propaganda on One Broken Router Takes Out Half the Internet? · · Score: 4, Funny

    You left out 'updating your myspace page', 'writing poetry about how no-one understands' and 'cutting yourself'

  12. Re:Isn't there an easy solution to this already? on On Game Developers and Legitimacy · · Score: 1

    Um, because alcohol abuse causes intoxication and addiction, and games don't?

    Have you played Civ? One more turn man, one more turn. I'm good for it. Come one man, don't hold out on me. What's that? Sunlight?

  13. Re:When did comic books become legitimate? on On Game Developers and Legitimacy · · Score: 1

    /agree about Top 10. Watchmen is great, but over-rated and dated, much like V for Vendetta.

  14. Re:Idiotic Design on DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Finally, a decent reason for region encoding!

  15. Re:I would like to hear from a lawyer on this.. on Personality Testing For Employment · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sounds like someone has an unearned sense of entitlement. I'm a degreed professional too, but if it all goes tits-up in this recession, I know I can happily go back to dishpigging or a service station because I'll be earning money. Any earnt money is better than no earnt money when you have a mortgage.

  16. Re:Is this that important ? on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 1

    Day in the Life
    Eleanor Rigby

    There's your answer.

  17. Re:Article? on A Hacker's Audacious Plan To Rule the Underground · · Score: 1

    So true. I'm "good with computers". That doesn't mean I'm a hacker.

  18. Heh on A Hacker's Audacious Plan To Rule the Underground · · Score: 1

    Your name made me laugh. Thank you.

  19. Re:Summary of TFA on Why Game Developers Should Support OS X and Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    Your reasoned commentary singles you out from the herd. Stupid zebra, you're crocodile bait now.

  20. Re:International Nature of the Internet on How Web Advertising May Go · · Score: 1

    I think he's saying that if the ad were relevant, he'd be more likely to click, thus supporting that free content.

    He's also saying if the adhost can't serve up a relevant ad, serve nothing at all. I know I browse with adblock because I'm on a quota (upload AND download) and I'd rather not spend my bytes on a (for example) dating service in Tucson, or pizza delivery in San Francisco.

  21. Re:Anyone actually BUY anything because of web ads on How Web Advertising May Go · · Score: 1

    Meme-necromancy is evil

  22. Re:Downside... on Running Android On Netbooks · · Score: 1

    I'm using windows, because we're pretty much a microsoft shop, but what you said.

  23. Re:Downside... on Running Android On Netbooks · · Score: 1

    I have to say, using vmware's console tab and the multiple frames in the host manager has made multiple desktop connections much easier for me to manage.

    That said, I pretty much consider all apps to be tabs of the desktop interface application. Having a tabbed interface just means logical grouping of same apps, meaning (in windows, so nothing I say matters here) I have to alt-tab/shift-tab and then alt-w-1/alt-w-2.

  24. Re:what happened to you, Austrailia? on Australia To Block BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    All the fun people went to a party and while we weren't looking, the kids that got picked on in school took over the country.

    And they want revenge.
