  1. Re:in other words... on Philips Unveils Entertaible · · Score: 1

    Anyway...my wife and I thought about something like this over a year ago and were really excited about the idea, but didn't know where to start and didn't follow through with it. I'm glad someone else did :)

    You're GLAD someone else did? I would have kicked myself for not getting a patent!

  2. Re:check with the lawyers on The Odds at Macworld · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yup! Because the Asteroid rumors were spot on! :P

  3. Re:Apple and Microsoft on Vista's Graphics To Be Moved Out of the Kernel · · Score: 1

    So I point out that you made an error in your argument by quoting the wrong part of the post, and you retaliate by calling me a "mac loser" posting as an anonymous coward?

    Brilliant!

    I love slashdot!

    Next you'll find a grammar error that I've made and harp on that.

  4. Re:Apple and Microsoft on Vista's Graphics To Be Moved Out of the Kernel · · Score: 1

    Right.

    Quartz has nothing to do with networking.

    Try again.

  5. Re:Apple and Microsoft on Vista's Graphics To Be Moved Out of the Kernel · · Score: 1

    Don't use quotes around phrases that aren't actually quotes.

    Nowhere in his post did he say "pretty much the same architecture" ... he said they were similar.

  6. Re:FAIL not DIE!!?!?!?!? on Is Link About to Die? · · Score: 2, Funny

    He's failed his mission PLENTY of times with me controlling him already.

  7. Fans requesting revisits on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    It seems on the show that you guys are annoyed by fans requesting revisits. I know thats probably just acting, and if you really WERE annoyed you wouldn't actually DO the revisits. Anyway, my question is: who decides whether or not to revisit a myth? Is it you guys, the producers, or both? Has there ever been a myth you would have liked to revisit that never got any notice from the fans?

  8. No surprise on First-Gen Xbox 360 Games Single-Threaded? · · Score: 1

    Most of the first run games will probably be developed based on the engine of the single-threaded previous sequel.

  9. Re:ah, memories on Review: Black and White 2 · · Score: 1

    Never got around to playing it over the internet. Actually I never got around to playing it after I had it for a week either.

  10. ah, memories on Review: Black and White 2 · · Score: 4, Funny

    The only way I found to win a game during Black and White 1 was to toss my creature's poop at the opposing side's food supply. As soon as you landed one in there, game over!

  11. The "Jack Thompson" scheme on ESRB Should Stand Down? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Obviously we should adopt a "Jack Thompson" scheme. This is where the rating is replaced with a letter representing which social outcast the game turns you into.

    For instance, Grand Theft Auto would be rated "CK" for Cop Killer.
    Sims 2 would simply be rated "P" for Pedophile.
    Seeing how Doom 3 is a murder simulator, it would obviously get an "M" rating.
    Lego Starwars would be rated "W" for Whore. Why? Well because P for Prostitute was already taken!

  12. Re:Video? on New iPods on the Horizon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Duh, thats what the iVideo store will be for.

  13. Re:Blatant copyright violation on Google Launches Google Reader at Web 2.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So put ads in your article, that way they come out with the feed.

  14. Office .NET on Early AJAX Office Applications · · Score: 1

    Anybody else remember when Microsoft said that the next version of Office was going to be a webpage where people would log in and basically "rent" the app instead of putting the app on their computer and buying it? They called it Office.NET (it was back before .NET was the framework. They had grand plans of slapping .NET at the end of all their software.) Office.NET turned into Office 2003 and the .NET moniker turned into their new framework.

    And now we finally have office apps in webpages. And not by Microsoft. ;)

  15. Welcome, Slashdot! on Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS · · Score: 1

    Whoa guys! Welcome to 1999!

  16. The graphics match the game on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate · · Score: 1

    Based on what I've seen on Twilight Princess, I can't see it being a cartoon game. Killing monsters from a horse and turning into a werewolf doesn't quite say "cartoon" to me. Similarly, I can't see "realistic link" boarding a little sailboat and sailing around the world.

  17. Re:My most loved feature on OS X on Comparing Tiger and Vista Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    Don't know if you can do it in linux, but Apple calls that "Column view"

  18. Re:FP! on Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    ... which would be what the majority of Apple users run.

  19. Hmmph on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Sure, Mac OS was a lot prettier but then it cost the moon and the stars along with both your arms and legs.

    You get what you pay for. :P

  20. Re:Still $300 on Xbox 360 for $300 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    *yawn* old news.

  21. Re:Failed marketing scheme? on Video Game Scandals Are Boring · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call it a "failed marketing scheme"... its more of a "damn successful marketing scheme."

  22. Re:They should have replaced the GBA on The GBA's Last Stand · · Score: 1

    So a better upgrade for the GBA:SP is.... the Micro? Now THAT is a significantly smaller screen.

  23. Re:Rockstar is not helping their situation on Jack Thompson Weighs In On Hot CoffeeGate · · Score: 1

    So because Rockstar has a scandal they should stop advertising their game? I'm not quite following that logic. I don't think anyone who actually buys and plays the game will be insulted enough to sue when they find out there is a sex game in it. The people who are insulted about the game aren't the ones that play it.

  24. Re:Bonzai Buddy on Microsoft In Talks To Buy Claria · · Score: 1

    Props to you for having the balls to post that link using your username. ;)

  25. Bonzai Buddy on Microsoft In Talks To Buy Claria · · Score: 5, Funny

    Microsoft should buy whoever made Bonzai Buddy (or whatever that purple guy was called.) The integration of that and Clippy would be revolutionary.
