  1. All this technology?? on High-Tech Foosball Mod Project · · Score: 2

    You put all this technology into the table and don't even include a 'boo button' for when the other player gets a goal? Come on!! Nothing soothes a bruised ego like hearing the crowd boo the other guy.

  2. Robotic Surgery Link - CSTAR on Robots Approved For Cardiac Surgery · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Here is a link to CSTAR, which is a national centre in Canada for robotic surgery. The page talks about a few of the systems mentionned in the article.

    They seem to have quite a few robotic surgery firsts. Pretty neat stuff.

  3. Just a suggestion on Portable MP3 Player w/ Unix Support? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Maybe you should be looking for something that works good in your english class...

  4. The line.... on In Space, No One Knows You Read Vogue · · Score: 1

    Are you an astronaut baby.... Cause your ass is out of this world!

  5. I'm confused... on Black Is The New Beige · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wait, so can I still wear white once the summer is over? I'm confused!

  6. Mr Snrub! on Build Your Own Monorail · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mr Snrub votes that we spend our money on the nuclear power plant instead...

    Monorail time... just watch the Simpsons quotes roll in!

  7. Re:Bicycle. on Hack Your Ignition (Before Someone Else Does) · · Score: 2, Funny

    Except your bike lock...

  8. Re:just a guess on CEO of Brilliant Defends Sneaky Installation Practices · · Score: 1

    Whoh I must be smoking the good stuff today... Yes there are still lots of keys left behind. Remember to clean out those registries kids!

  9. Re:just a guess on CEO of Brilliant Defends Sneaky Installation Practices · · Score: 1

    In XP there doesn't seem to be anything much left behind when you search the registry for bde, so it looks like this method is ok.

    Besides, just try KazaaLite... All the fun and no sneaky bad guys!

  10. How to remove - quick version on CEO of Brilliant Defends Sneaky Installation Practices · · Score: 4, Informative
    1.In the Windows Control Panel, select an option called "Add/Remove Programs." One of the options will be "b3d Projector." Highlight this and click the "Change/Remove" button.


    You may get a message that the uninstall has been successful.

    Search your computer for a "BDE" folder, which most likely will be found in the "WinNT" or "Windows" directory. In this folder will be a file called "bdeclean.exe". Run this to finish the first part of the process.

    Delete the BDE folder.

    Caution: An unrelated piece of software called Borland Database Engine also creates a BDE directory. If you think you may have this software installed, or if there is any confusion whatsoever, do not delete this directory.

    2.In the "Temp" directory (this will normally be found inside the "Windows" or "WinNT" directory) is a folder called "Brilliant." This contains many files. Delete the entire folder.

    3.After performing steps 1 and 2, you will need to locate and remove some additional Brilliant Digital files that have been placed in critical system-level computer directories. CAUTION: Deleting the wrong files could interfere with the normal functioning of your computer. These files will most likely be in the "Windows\System" or "WinNT\System32" folder(in windows XP I found them in Windows\System32\):

    bdedownloader.dll
    bdedata2.dll
    bdefdi.dll
    bdeinsta2.dll
    bdeinstall.exe
    bdesecureinstall.cab
    bdesecureinstall.exe
    bdeverify.exe
    bdeverify.dll

    Delete these files.

  11. Re:Imagine... on Trackball 50 Years Old · · Score: 1

    > a couple of my cow-workers are perfectly lined up right now

    Things might be a little tricky if your co-workers are COWS... You'd have to try to take their legs out or something. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?

  12. Ack! The *other* trackball... on Trackball 50 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Wow, when I read the article headline, I thought the post was talking about the Trackball game. You know, the one with the plastic scoop things where you throw the ball to each other. I think there was a yellow ball and a white ball. Anyone else remember that? You could put mad spin on the ball and unsuspecting people in the head with it.

    What an incredible game... I wonder when the 50th anniversary of that game will be.

  13. Top 10 Forgotten Characters on Tribute to Nien Nunb and other Star Wars Bit Parts · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What is one list *NSync will never make it on, Alex?

    Unless we're simply talking about wretched, then they are heading straight to the top of the charts...

  14. Re:The solution on Is This How to Carry Your Gadgets? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What do the gay guys put in it?

  15. Forget Clippy! on The End Of The Paperclip · · Score: 1
    Well goodbye to Clippy, but what I want to know is whether or not all of his stupid friends are going with him. I mean who came up with the lame ideas for the assistants? A cat? A dog? What do they know about word processing? Don't even get me started on the puzzle piece or that terrible Gaia world thingie... Ick... I hope they all burn.

    They need things that know much more about writing, such as pencils, pens, a stack of paper, or even a typewriter (some of you may remember those).

  16. Missing out due to the V-Chip on Canadian TV Now V-Chip Ready · · Score: 1

    So does that mean we won't be getting any shows about Canadian beaver?

  17. Screw the Sims... on "The Sims" To Have Its Own TV Series? · · Score: 2

    Screw the Sims, what we really need is a Leisure Suit Larry show. Now that would be worth watching!

  18. I said it then and I'll say it now... on Paper Phones · · Score: 1

    Just imagine the 'Happy Meal' treat possibilities for this one. Nothing like getting the 6 year olds using their '1 of 256 collectible Pokemon phones' too early in life

  19. Anyone? on First Ever Webcam to Come Offline · · Score: 1

    Did anyone ever catch someone's hand in the picture grabbing the coffee pot? I must have visited the site 1000 times and I never saw it happen. It was either light or dark, that's about it, never any action shots. What a sad life I lead.

  20. Re:Damn!!! on Canada Considers Cellphone Jammers · · Score: 1

    it's called grammar

  21. A better link from Duke on Growing New Cartilage · · Score: 1

    Here is a better link with more info about the project from Duke...

  22. Cartilage? on Growing New Cartilage · · Score: 1

    I always thought they could just get it from pieces of KFC!

  23. If only... on CueCat Seeks Simpsons Endorsement · · Score: 1
    Lisa had a CueCat to look up the online version of the 'Cory Hotline' (1-900-555-CORY), think of all the money she would have saved!

    I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that I thought of that idea, or the fact that I remember the Cory Hotline's phone number. Yikes...

  24. Cassingles? on Napster Helps RIAA Again; RIAA Still Ungrateful (Updated) · · Score: 2

    Crap, I haven't seen a new one of these in years. You mean to say they've been making them all this time? Who the heck buys them anyways? I mean who doesn't own a cd player?

  25. Re:Ahhh, memories on The Minicomputer Orphanage · · Score: 1

    Man you did graphic plotting? All we ever played was that lemonade stand game...
