  1. Re:No porn? on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1

    The #1 internet industry is now online gambling.

    Yes, there are lots of idiots out there.

  2. Not 8MB on Retro Gaming Gets Hot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There are no games as big as 8 megabytes, nor 8 megabits for that matter.
    The largest offical NES game was Kirby's Adventure, weighing in at 768 kilobytes.
    The largest unlicenced US NES game was Action 52, at 2 megabytes.

  3. Wrong one... on Farb-Rausch Releases PC Demo Creation Software · · Score: 4, Informative

    What's this about "The Popular Demo" being 64k? It's actually 8,854,016 bytes long.

  4. Re:New feature suggestion on Microsoft Is Planning To Renew IE Development · · Score: 1

    Great idea, break all applications that use the MS HTML components as a user interface, like Norton Antivirus...

  5. Re:What's the point? on Copy-protected CD Tops U.S. Charts · · Score: 1

    Because when you rip them yourself, you make DECENT LAME VBR mp3s, not 128kbps crap.

  6. Re:In what other languages on Why Learning Assembly Language Is Still Good · · Score: 1

    For a second there I thought you were defining the origin address...

    - Hopelessly obsesswith with asm.

  7. Re:symbolic links on What Keeps You Off of Windows? · · Score: 1

    No, but Windows does support hard links. Check out google for Windows Hard Links.

  8. Good Ridance on TechTV.com RIP · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I got tired of TechTV's Unscrewed airing my flash movies on TV without contacting me first to let me know.

    Sorry to see the screen savers go though...

  9. Re:The question is on Via-based Handheld Game Console Runs PC Games · · Score: 1

    Use Joystick 2 Mouse, assuming that it works as a standard joystick.

  10. We need Mario! on More on Global Dimming · · Score: 1

    We need Mario! That's what we need! He can go around cleaning up glop, and collecting Shines, thus increasing the output of our sun!
    Shine Get!

  11. Re:Throttling on OptInRealBig Wins Restraining Order On SpamCop · · Score: 1

    U mst b prty niev if u think ppl spl emails crectly. I've watched people type out emails, hunting and pecking at the keyboard, using strongly abbreiviated words. I used to think that this was because they were stupid, but no, it's because they can't type.

  12. Re:Emulation on E3 - First Nintendo DS Pic · · Score: 1

    Mouse clicks?

  13. Re:Questions on E3 - First Nintendo DS Pic · · Score: 1

    BZZT! WRONG!
    The GBA's arm7 processor does not convert to a CISC z80 compatible, they are separate chips.

  14. Re:Extra buttons on E3 - First Nintendo DS Pic · · Score: 1

    There already IS a snes emulator that will run on it...

  15. Re:Got news for our Freedom loving underlings... on Winny P2P Software Creator Arrested · · Score: 1

    The foil lined shopping bag is for shoplifting. DVD's contain those tiny sticky anti-theft transmitter thingies, don't know much about them, but foil probably defeats the scanning equipment for them.

  16. Re:This is an abomination on Perfect Digital Skin · · Score: 1

    If you're going to quote Helen Jovejoy, please do it correctly:

    Won't somebody please think of the children!

  17. Re:Fight back: enforce standards to break 'extend' on Microsoft Assembles Patent Arsenal for Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Yeah, do that and you screw the users of the products. People don't care about politics, they want something that works.

  18. Re:Fear! on Video Games - Lost in Translation? · · Score: 1

    That's no good! You stuck the "ed" at the end of "happen", thus ruining the Zero Wing reference!

  19. Re:World War II: History favors the victor? on Video Games - Lost in Translation? · · Score: 1

    I think the existance of games like 1942 and 1943 is especially ironic. The games are Japanese made, and involve shooting down endless streams of Japanese planes and ships.

  20. Re:Allow employees to sue? on E.U. Employers To Be Held Liable For Porn Spam? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, send me more junk since usually the TO and FROM fields are contructed from the same list of email addresses.

  21. Quiet you troll... on Turbolinux Licenses Windows Media 9 · · Score: 1

    Quiet you troll...
    Ogg sounds far superior to mp3 in the 32-64kbps range mainly. It's especially good for high quality streaming audio at low bitrates. I encode mp3s into mono .ogg streams at Quality -1, for an average bitrate of 48k, and it sounds really good for such a low bitrate.

  22. Re:Encryption Keys? on U.S. Considering Ratifying Cybercrime Treaty · · Score: 1
  23. Re:Nethack on Does A Good Game Make A Good Movie Idea? · · Score: 1

    Put Sandra Bullock in it, then change the plot to be about hackers.

  24. Re:Enemy Territory is the WORST on Want To Play The Multiplayer FPS Games You Bought? · · Score: 1

    I just keep falling into wells, and can't figure out how to play ET. Nice title screen though. Too bad they're all in a landfill.

  25. Re:We don't have sort attention spans... on The Joy of Random Shuffle · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should stop using bubble sort for your sort attention span. There are far better algorithms out there.
