  1. Re:Surreal watching Caprica downtown... on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer · · Score: 1

    NY and LA don't generally serve in that role. If you go to the trouble and expense of filming in NYC, you want everyone watching to KNOW it's NYC (Ghostbusters, MIB, etc.). More often, exterior urban filming done in places like Toronto made to look like Chicago, or just in a back lot somewhere.

  2. Re:In Other News... on New York Times Buys About.com for $410 Million · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean "Aboot.ca"? (Currently being criminally underutilized to sell a home.)

  3. Re:one quote sums this up on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    "There's so much comedy on television. Is that leading to comedy in the streets?" -- Dick Cavett

  4. Re:Features I would like. on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    Avoid Speed Traps

    (Come on, you know that Google knows where they are!)

  5. Re:The article talks about 256MB not 512MB on Same Part, Same Supplier, Different Prices · · Score: 1

    Because if you buy parts from anywhere else, Dell won't support the system afterwards, since the machine is now in a different configuration than when they sold it to you. (Even if the part you're having trouble with came from them.) Went through this once, never again. Our PC is now a white-box from a dealer down the road.

  6. Re:I just used JHymn on Cracking iTunes' DRM with JHymn · · Score: 1

    I believe you can convert regular AAC to MP3 within iTunes, without needing any other program. It's only the Music Store files that are protected.

  7. Re:When did this happen? on US Government May Not Approve Sale of IBM PC Unit · · Score: 1

    My Japanese car was built in America...

  8. Re:What a coincidence... on Monday, January 24th to be Worst Day of the Year · · Score: 1

    Worse than that, Mac turns 21! Hide the liquor!

  9. Re:Where does Grumpy Gamer get his numbers?? on Game Industry Not Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    "First he states, that it's BS because it includes console gaming. Ok, a stretch but I'll let it go."

    No, he's talking about the sales of the *consoles* in addition to the games. There's no easy equivalent when adding up the take for the movie biz (DVD players? Projectors?).

  10. Re:Burning Horse Damage Table on 30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of D&D · · Score: 1

    To the publisher: Make a book of stories like this, and I'd pay for it. And I haven't touched a d20 in 20 years.

  11. Re:Need for Speed Underground 2 on NYT on EA Games · · Score: 1

    Makes you wonder why they agreed to make Return Of The King -- not much room for billboards there!

  12. Re:Your looks real life vs. comic on Ask Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade · · Score: 1

    Seriously, have you seen pictures of these guys?

    (I kid, I kid.... I love PA, even without getting half of the gaming references.)

    Now, my question: Obviously you get a lot of adolescent hate-mail whenever you criticize some popular game. What is the strangest mass reaction you've ever gotten to a strip? (Along the lines of "Gee, I didn't realize there were so many ..... out there!")

  13. Re:And what about Stratego? on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Considering your history, my advice to you is to never play Diplomacy. Unless of course you're completely tired of your friends and want to lose them for good.

  14. Re:almost there... on Walk of Game Honors Industry Paragons · · Score: 1

    but the Duke Nukem Forever star is coming real soon now.

  15. Re:800lb Gorilla on Gates on Spyware and OS Competition · · Score: 2, Funny

    You should close your tag, or it might get you into trouble out in the real world at some point.

  16. Re:Be prepared on Anatomy of a LAN Party? · · Score: 1

    Geez, people blame Michael Moore for everything these days!

    (I think you meant Murphy.)

  17. Re:All I know is... on The Jobs Crunch · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...and a recovery is when George Bush is out of work.

  18. Re:Nasty Lightning Strike With Photo Gallery on When Lightning Strikes · · Score: 1

    That'll teach you to be careful when you put on the Scottish play...

  19. With all due respect... on When Lightning Strikes · · Score: 1

    ... as soon as you tell me where you live, I'm moving somewhere 8,000 miles from there.

  20. Re:-yawn- on Porn Beats Search Engines in Internet Traffic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Really, any new media form with a low cost of entry has been popularized by porn. I'm not sure, but I'm willing to bet that the second book ever printed was something that people had to hide between the pages of the Gutenberg Bible.

  21. Bad news and good news about the "iPod killer" on Microsoft, Sony Announce iPod Competitors · · Score: 1

    The bad news is it will only play WMA files...

    The good news is it will run Pen Windows!

  22. Re:My little brother had one of these on Notebooks Replace Textbooks in Texas · · Score: 1

    What, he would have paid perfect attention if not for the computer? Does his classroom have windows? Any of his friends in the class? Girls? Hmmm....

  23. Re:For the Mac user in you.. on NetStumbler v0.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Or KisMAC:

  24. But... on Gates on Winsecurity · · Score: 1

    Mac OS X is at least as easy to install as Windows, but has its ports closed by default, and requires an administrator password for any program to make changes to the System directory. Some of this stuff ain't that hard to do, if M$ really cared.

  25. Re:FrameMaker for Unix *is* Mac-usable.... on Adobe Kills FrameMaker for Mac · · Score: 1

    ... and it only costs $1329. What a deal.

    To be fair, it does look like Adobe supports cross-grades:

    "To install upgrade successfully, you will need a license from a previous version of FrameMaker or FrameMaker+SGML (on any platform)."
