  1. Re:Who says Interweb? on Tracking Down a Cell Phone Thief · · Score: 1

    This is correct. Cool people say interweb to distiguish the real people sites versus the comercial junk that the internet has become. They also say "pocket phone" not "cell phone" but that's another nerdly cool story.

  2. Re:Movie Theaters are Obsolete on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, that way she could meet your parents and help your mom with the dishes.

  3. Re:Law suit pending? on Retro Gaming Gains A Savior? · · Score: 1

    I don't think this would be that zero sum. This would not stop people from buying new GBA releases from Nintendo but it might serve to make older releases more popular.

    In fact Nintendo should be watching them to see whats popular and release those games on GBA.

  4. Re:Blunder or Strategic Business Move? on Zelda: Twilight Princess Delayed · · Score: 1

    I would predict that there will be another Zelda bundle for the revolution. A TP master quest and all the older Zeldas one disk.

  5. Re:Like Windows and Office on Xbox 360 Launch to Face Several Hurdles · · Score: 1

    They should call it the XBox PC then.

  6. Re:Interesting, but... on Wikipedia Announces Tighter Editorial Control · · Score: 1

    Freeze the main content as a stable version with tabs or links to secondary edited versions. In essence freeze the pointer but not the page. On review secondary pages can be promoted to main pages. Alternative points of view or edits can be linked off of a more central agreed upon point of view.

  7. Re:Cost on The GBA's Last Stand · · Score: 1

    The PSP is too delicate for kids to play with.

    I've seen some mangled display models of GBA and NDS yet they have still been functioning and durable. The amount of abuse they can take is directly related to their value. I can replace my son's GBA 4 times for the price of a PSP. It's not going to go away anytime soon.

  8. Re:Dear Big Game House, on Voice Actors Vote on VG Strike · · Score: 1

    Hi ther, my name is Billy Bob Thernton you should have me do thet voice acter stuff because I em pertier than that Billy Bob Thornton and our names are one letter different so I'm only an O less famus than him.

  9. Re:Also consider the ease-of-use on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Sadly, I suspect, that with all the focus on console hardware this year, they are going to take ease of use out of the products and make them more PC like.

    That's why they are positioning them as cheaper PCs and not expensive consoles. I don't know if I'm right so much as I don't see the focus on game, or game play improvement. Every article I read where they are saying the new consoles with be more like my PC make me want to stay away.

  10. Re:easier solution... on A Coffeeshop's Weekends Without Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    "Hey Killa62, how's it going? Are you going to be hanging out today? Can I use your code? Cool! Hey check out this site... "

    Now assuming I just socially engineered your code, kicking me out would also create bad will with the person or persons I might know. You might even come back in a few hours to see if I'm still hanging out.

    Maybe it's different because I live in a small town but I could spend all weekend in a coffee shop and get a code and coffee every two hours with out spending a dime. Usually I'm too busy to do that, but then I'd just give my code to some other towney.

  11. Re:Prices for downloadable on More Hints at Nintendo's Revolution · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but would you pay 19.99 for a programable cart? I'm just dreaming but my idea of a revolution would have the capacity to program GBA carts with games I download.

  12. Don't look down. on Sites or Software for a Budding Typist? · · Score: 1

    Print a small picture of the keyboard layout of your choice and tape it above your monitor. Never look down at the key board.

    I learned to type with the Dvorak layout this way but not looking at the keyboard was what took me the farthest.

  13. Re:Firefox is mostly a cute interface on Problems With the Firefox Development Process · · Score: 1

    Spyware comes post-installed on Windows boxes running IE. Don't underestimate usability.

  14. Re:Bad for Disney, Worse for Pixar? on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1

    At the beging of every Pixar movie is the Disney Pixar Disney Pixar Disney Pixar movie branding. My son and I always cheer every Pixar and they also always get their name up last. I'm sure he will be aware of Pixar's absense should any of his aunts take him to Total Shit 3.

  15. Re:SAw this yesterday on Fark/iFilm on Jon Stewart on CNN's Crossfire · · Score: 1

    In the Soviet Russia, the joke is on you. In the Corporate America, you pay for the joke.

  16. Re:To be honest on Detailed Changes In Star Wars DVD Release w/Pics · · Score: 1

    Welcome, welcome to the dorkside.

  17. Re:Silver medal in Archery at the 1980 olympics? on Ask Unix Co-Creator Rob Pike · · Score: 1

    This is very interesting. It is strange that you did not consider it could be a typo. That would have been my first thought.

  18. Re:Email address? That'll pin em down on New California Law Bans Anonymous Media File Sharing · · Score: 1

    I could provide my gmail and password and then anything that's mailed to it will be availble. p2pmail.

  19. Re:RTFL on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you leave your door open and play music real loud , I can sit on the curb and listen to it. You can't tell me to leave because I'm hearing your music. You can't charge me a fee because your music is spilling out on to the public street.

  20. Re:Episode VII "Opening Starfield Text" on Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Their only hope is to unearth secret hiding place where Darth Vader put the carbonite block containing the body of the legendary General Jar-Jar Binks.

  21. Re:Thank God! on Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All? · · Score: 1

    Tim Burton remakes.

  22. 10 Hrs should be enough on Ten-disc 'Matrix' DVD Box Set Planned · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This should be enough material for someone to re-edit the last two movies into something worth watching. Looking forward to the Matrix Remixed.

  23. Re:It just might catch on though. on Super MP3 Will Feature User Tracking · · Score: 1

    "Super Stupid" has name recogniton as well. SS MP3 Player.

    Hey Bob you have to have to listen to this.

    Sorry Ted you have the Super Stupid MP3s with enhanced DRM and no audio advatage. I'm just going over to Carol's house and share music with her and Alice. When you figure out how to rip and burn your new music come on over, but uh... leave the spandex super suit behind.

  24. Re:Bad Idea... on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    This article says nothing about turning the other light green. Plus anyone caught going through a red light would get a ticket. And would also be faced with another red light at the next intersection. The speeder could be clocked at one intersection and stopped at the next.

  25. Re:Just like in DUNE on Microdrone Spy Planes · · Score: 1

    You don't need to attach anything to the plane. Just send a missle after it.
