  1. Re:Doctrine of first sale on Spore, Mass Effect DRM Phone Home For Single-Player Gaming · · Score: 1

    I might have misunderstood what the mods on that board were saying, but apparently you are allowed three simultaneous activations, and you can deactivate them and activate them again on another computer.

  2. Re:Can it produce ink too? on 3D Self-Replicating Printer to be Released Under GNU License · · Score: 1

    mainly polylactic acid (PLA), which is a bio-degradable polymer made from lactic acid

    Can you get to the summary on this page?

  3. Re:Corporate Death Penalty on Sequoia Vote Machine Can't Do Simple Arithmetic? · · Score: 1

    What? Don't you want to jail the lawyers too?

  4. Re:Spam? on Human Rights and a Code of Conduct for China's Web · · Score: 1

    Think of it this way. We use modified viruses in cancer treatment, right? This is kind of the same thing.

  5. Re:Why does it have to glow? on GE Announces OLED Manufacturing Breakthrough · · Score: 3, Informative

    OLED = organic LIGHT EMITTING diode

  6. Am I the only one? on Toshiba Making Funeral Plans for HD DVD · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Am I the only one who doesn't give a damn one way or the other?

    At least Blu-Ray rolls off the tounge easier. And yes, I'm convinced that's at least part of the reason it won.

  7. Look of the game on Spore Hands-On Preview · · Score: 1

    So far, the only thing about this game that I'm disappointed with is the visual style.

    I liked it so much better in the early stages, like the 2005 GDC video. It was really beautiful then. Now it just looks too cartoony.

  8. What about the next president? on US Senate Votes Immunity For Telecoms · · Score: 1

    Even if the bill passes and becomes law, couldn't another bill be put through congress next year revoking the immunity?

  9. Re:Yawn on Will Wright's Spore To Release Sept. 7th · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Screw you.

    I care about the game. I have ever since I saw the GDC video back in 2005, before the hype even started.

    Go back to playing Shoot-em-up: Blood Massacre 27

  10. Does this affect anyone? on Hotmail Doesn't Work With Linux Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Is there anyone on the planet who uses both linux AND hotmail?

  11. Re:2.0 - 3.0 on The Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition Preview Books · · Score: 1

    I did recently have a chance to play 2.0. I found it horribly and needlessly complicated.

  12. 2.0 - 3.0 on The Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition Preview Books · · Score: 1

    I only started playing D&D seriously in 2006, so I missed the whole conversion from 2.0 to 3.0, but I have to ask. How many of the complaints about 4.0 were also made about 3.0 between its announcement and release? (MMORPG references naturally aside)

  13. Expelled? on Carbon Nanotubes Can Exist Safely Inside the Body, Help Treat Cancer · · Score: 1

    Even if they don't do any damage to the body, is there any chance of them doing damage to the environment once they are 'expelled'?

  14. A horrible thought just occurred to me on We Know Who's Behind Storm Worm · · Score: 1

    If the US government took down the people controlling Storm, wouldn't the US government then be in control of Storm?

    *gulp*

  15. Babies on When Are Kids Old Enough to Play Videogames? · · Score: 1

    I was at a computer show&sale once and one of the people running one of the booths had his kids (I assume) sitting on the table behind him playing some car racing game. They couldn't have been older than two and three.

  16. Re:Not gonna happen on AI Taught How To Play Ms. Pac-Man · · Score: 5, Funny

    The simple fact is that when the female suspects that the male is beginning to understand her behavior, she changes the rules.

  17. Re:Could be worse on World of Warcraft Gold Limit Reached, It's 2^31 · · Score: 1

    And considering the fact that they used signed ints, you would end up with negative 214,748 gold

  18. Re:Bio warfare? on Pentagon Working on "Human Fear" Weapons · · Score: 1

    If you define 'chemical weapon' that way, then everything is a chemical weapon.

    With a bullet (or knife, club, dire flail, ect..), it isn't what the thing is made of that kills you.

  19. Re:Bio warfare? on Pentagon Working on "Human Fear" Weapons · · Score: 1

    There is debate on whether viruses are actually alive or not.

  20. Re:Bio warfare? on Pentagon Working on "Human Fear" Weapons · · Score: 5, Informative

    No, since the pheromones are not alive.

    It does count as chemical warfare, though.

  21. Re:Evolution is a theory too on Texas Creationist Museum Facing Extinction · · Score: 1

    You go to a pastor to explain science to you?

    Gravity is 'just a theory' too.

  22. Re:Much delayed? on Spore, Call of Duty 4 Confirmed for OSX · · Score: 1

    A specific date, yeah. But it was originally supposed to be out last fall, then they changed it to this spring.

  23. Much delayed? on Spore, Call of Duty 4 Confirmed for OSX · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Spore only delayed once?

  24. Scott Adams adventure games on What Was Your First Gaming Experience? · · Score: 1

    Adventureland and VooDoo Castle on an Exidy Sorcerer when I was 8 or 9

  25. It's a FAKE! on Messenger Flies by Mercury · · Score: 4, Funny

    That can't be real! There aren't any stars in the background!
