  1. Re:Let me skip cut scenes on Miyamoto Says Wind Waker Was Boring · · Score: 1

    The ORIGINAL Metroid for the Famicom Disk System also used the elevators to load content.

  2. Re:Linguistic note... on FreeBSD Ported to XBox · · Score: 1

    Actually, it is whether it's pronounced with a vowel or not.
    If it's pronounded oo-sub, then it's an USB keyboard.
    Pronounced Yoo-ess-bee, then it's a USB keyboard.

    For Nintendo fans, it gets confusing when someone talks about a NES, or an NES.

  3. Re:Tired of obligatory *BSD is dying comments on FreeBSD Status Report for 2005 Q2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think anyone who posts those messages actually thinks that BSD is dying. They are just posting to keep up a traditional joke.

  4. Anticipation on More Terrible Box Art · · Score: 3, Funny

    Anticipation
    Need I say more?

  5. Re:The Firefox bandwagon... on Yahoo Releases Firefox Toolbar Beta · · Score: 1

    Yay, now Google won't just track my complete search queries, but my partial ones as well! Thanks, Google!

  6. Hello my future girlfriend? on Top 10 Web Fads · · Score: 5, Funny

    How could a list like this leave out "Hello My Future Girlfriend"?

  7. Re:Bionic Commando who couldn't jump on Crucial Classics - Bionic Commando · · Score: 4, Funny

    He was white.

  8. Re:How secure is PHP? on Firefox Community Site Hacked · · Score: 1

    The problem is insecure applications built on top of PHP, not PHP itself.

  9. Re:Will it stop a semi-serious pirate? on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1

    What about the wires inside the moniotor post decryption?

  10. Re:Think of the marketing IBM wasted on IBM Officially Kills OS/2 · · Score: 1

    What's this about ATM's not getting hacked?

  11. Re:Why OGG Is "Better" on 'MP3' Celebrates its Tenth Anniversary · · Score: 1

    High CPU Usage means you need something beefy like a PC to play it.

  12. Re:Aren't hybrids terrible for city traffic? on New York Taxis Will Go Hybrid · · Score: 1

    You have it completely backwards. Hybrids do better in city traffic than highways.

  13. Re:Strangely the Japaneese version... on The Making of Maniac Mansion · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seriously though, Japan got the far worse end of the deal on the Famicom version of Mainiac Mansion. 104 character passwords! In a tiny Japanese font! With some characters looking extremely similar! And you thought Metroid or Castlevania 2 was bad...

  14. Re:Graphics are good, but... on Revolution Downloads To Recieve Graphic Upgrades · · Score: 1

    The only game for the NES to use midi was Miracle Piano Teaching System. It interfaced with a keyboard plugged into controller port 1 using MIDI to send and recieve note events.

  15. Re:Simply put ... on Revolution Downloads To Recieve Graphic Upgrades · · Score: 1

    240 rows, not 224. I hate it when people repeat and spread this lie around, many emulators got crippled in their ability to display full NES resolution due to belief in that lie.

  16. Re:YES on Mario and Zelda Cartoons on DVD · · Score: 2, Funny
  17. Re:the OTHER live action thing on Mario and Zelda Cartoons on DVD · · Score: 1

    Yes, good ol' "Club Mario". That was also the time they stuck it into a timeslot that prevented me from seeing it because it was on during school.

  18. Yawn on DivX 6.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    Wake me up when DivX can catch up with H.264.

  19. Re:Do games run on it? on Half Of Businesses Still Use Windows 2000 · · Score: 1

    If you have a Fast computer, you can run the Dosbox emulator to play old dos games. Very high system requirements.

  20. Re:No, unless there's an unbelievable change on Can Hayao Miyazaki Save Disney's Soul? · · Score: 1

    Ever seen "The Lion King"?

  21. Re:Used to do stuff like this on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 1

    I used to get them into SCIENG mode. That's the mode where it puts an incorrect exponent on scientific notation mode. Fun!

  22. Re:Wait, wait, I've got this one... on Some Revolution Downloads Will Be Free · · Score: 1

    You mean, "on my Version 1.0 Firmware Japanese PSP."?

  23. Re:Control excess WiFi access with bandwidth shapi on A Coffeeshop's Weekends Without Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    So then you just change your MAC address!

    Is the crappy P2P service dead too?

  25. Re:Best gameboy on Game Boy Micro Announced · · Score: 2, Informative

    Doom is available, not quake. A set of emulated Atari 2600 games are also available.
    You can buy a Majesco Wireless Link cable for GBA, it's not Wi-fi though.
