  1. Re:Minecraft itself is a phenomenon, but on Microsoft To Buy Minecraft Maker Mojang For $2.5 Billion · · Score: 1

    I've probably bought half a billion dollars worth of Minecraft shirts and toys and junk for my child myself.

  2. Re:This is how it looks when it works. on Heroic Engineer Crashes Own Vehicle To Save a Life · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I never thought of it that way ( the degradation in morals) but I think you are absolutely correct. Before I had my son, 10 to 1, I'd be one of those guys berating those "selfish parents". But now that I have him, I'd literally do anything in my power to keep him safe.

  3. Re:Microsoft Surface on Has Apple Created the Perfect Board Game Platform? · · Score: 1

    And you don't need Apple's (or anyone's) permission to play it.

  4. Re:the sky is falling! on Legislator Wants Cancer Warnings For Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    Um, I dont' think so. Without congress who would revamp the current College BCS system or investigate steroids in baseball?

  5. Re:Sorry to see it has gotten so bad on DirecTV Sued By Washington State · · Score: 1

    I'm right there with you. I had DirecTV in my last house because it wasn't serviced by our local cable company (Time Warner). I moved into a house I rented, that was in a cable area and the landlord wasn't so keen on drilling a dish on the house so I regretfully terminated my service.

    Fast forward a couple of years, I own my house and find myself increasing displeased with Time Warner and looking seriously at going back to DirecTV.

    This article just halted that.

  6. Re:Were they trying to install Windows 7... on Lost Northwest Pilots Were Trying Out New Software · · Score: 1

    If it was Windows 7, they'd still be in the air...

  7. Re:Flight sim? on Lost Northwest Pilots Were Trying Out New Software · · Score: 1

    It is preferable they do barrel rolls on a flight simulator than a real A320 I might be flying on.

    *Come on, I know I'm not the only one who tried that on the old MS simulator

  8. Re:512k! on Getting a Classic PC Working After 25 Years? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but in Soviet Russia, retarded jokes make Slashdot over and over again!

  9. Re:Success on One Year Later, "Dead" XP Still Going Strong · · Score: 1

    Not surprising. I have stacks of those multi-colored Dell Vista DVDs that came with all those computers I have purchased with XP downgrades.

    I suppose those count as "sales" even though they will never see the light of day.

  10. Re:reboot on Comedy Central Confirms 26 New Futurama Episodes · · Score: 1

    And Budweiser Classic!

  11. Re:Idiocy on Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US · · Score: 1

    They aren't trying to catch illegals as they are leaving. They already fingerprint incoming travelers but have no mechanism to see who actually leaves the country. By capturing incoming and outgoing immigration information...they can see who is still in the country, and go after them.

  12. Re:Wasn't that long ago... on Special Effects Lessons From JJ Abrams' Star Trek · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I found Tony Stark to be one of (if not the most) developed and interesting characters in any comic movie yet.

    I think the main reason Iron Man was so successful was the interesting characters. I mean, if you think about it, the actual suit really wasn't in the movie that much.

  13. Re:Excuse me on Microsoft Bans VoIP, Rival Stores At Mobile Market · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Why is this insightful?

    Who is to say that it will?

    Who is to say that the next WinMo store won't send goblins in the night to steal your baby?

    Lets try to judge the current situation by the current criteria set shall we? Hypothesizing on the future is fine as long as it has some basis. (I know, I know...here comes the party line of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish...)

  14. Re:Didn't microsoft pull this stunt before.... on Windows 7 Will Be Free For a Year · · Score: 1

    And they have been printing money ever since.

  15. Re:Multiple security layers on Self-Encrypting Hard Drives and the New Security · · Score: 1

    You must not work for an executive. As an IT wageslave, I find it very easy to tell the average user what they have to do...not so much for the VPs.

  16. Re:Heated for HOW Long?! on Coming Soon, 250 DVDs In a Quarter-Sized Device · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know, my MacBook certainly gets close. At least it feels like it on my lap.

  17. Re:Generate your own 'fake' logs on Bill Would Require ISPs, Wi-Fi Users To Keep Logs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah, because jail is fun.

  18. Re:US and Canada? on Apple's Terms No Longer Allow ITMS Purchases Outside of US · · Score: 1

    It only cost like $140 American dollars.

  19. Re:Movie doesn't show anything on First Psystar Mac Clones Ship · · Score: 1

    Okay Mulder...keep looking for that moon-landing set.

  20. Maybe someone could explain this joke. on Inside UC Berkeley's High Tech Joke Recommender · · Score: 1

    Invalid query: Table 'jester5_emptyjokeclusters' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
    I don't get it. SQL humor was always a bit over my head.
  21. Re:Marty! on NASA Running Out of Plutonium · · Score: 1

    I guess what we really need is Mr. Fusion.

  22. Shocked on Jimmy Wales Faces Allegations of Corruption · · Score: 1

    I'm frankly shocked that the person responsible for bomis.com would stoop to this level! In all seriousness, I don't think Jimmy would be a demi-god if he hadn't surrounded himself by weak-willed yet highly creative staff at Nupedia. I of course base this opinion solely on reading done at my favorite site, http://www.wikipedia.com/

  23. Registration on DVD Jon Creates DRM Killer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The install page doesn't mention anything about having to register for some reason. I think I'll go ahead and pass on that until after the subpoenas come through.

  24. Re:article incorrect on Whatever Happened To The Joystick? · · Score: 1

    There was an NES aftermarket item that could clip to the controller and had a screw in nub thing so you could control the D-Pad thumbstick style. It was actually quite handy as well as dulling the hard rigid edges of the original NES controller.

  25. Re:So when you say "draws boycott" on Trend Micro Draws Boycott Over AV Patent Case · · Score: 1

    I've unknowingly been part of this boycott for 10 years.
