  1. Re:Gamecube is finally breaking out of its shell on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate · · Score: 1

    Perhaps that's one thing Nintendo forgot: when most of us played the first 3 Zelda's, we were much younger. Now that we're in our 20s, we expected something different. Instead, they handed us a cartoon.

  2. Re:Cartoon isn't bad.... on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate · · Score: 1

    Zelda was never about being in a real world, it was the land of Hyrule where sticking out your sword in one direction was the name of the game.

    Sounds like you've been playing the Seduction of Zelda far too long. =)

  3. Photographs of the World Around Us on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate · · Score: 1

    not so much art as playable photographs of the world around them.

    I'd like to see someone take a real photograph of whatever is in that bottom picture. I know I would not partake in the photography side of the game business!

  4. Re:Mod down yet Another Misleading Slashdot commen on Crocodile's Immune System Kills HIV · · Score: 1

    They hope to develop an antibiotic to fight a virus? What University did these so-called "scientists" graduate from?

  5. Re:Pokemon Ripoff of Magic on Power Up · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Pokemon the video game was around a long time before pokemon the card game. I fail to see how Pokemon's success depended on Magic.

  6. Re:Techical info on Serial Burglar Caught on Webcam · · Score: 1

    Interesting, the guy is already wearing a white and black striped shirt for jail!

  7. Re:Glorified Doll House? on Sims 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    They're also fun to play with. Sue me

    Here ya go, I fully expect you to be sucked into the black hole of building dolls...

  8. Ego on Why is Java Considered Un-Cool? · · Score: 1

    Every Java developer I've ever met has been on an ego trip, thinking they are the god of programming.

    I want to know what it is that causes this mentality.

  9. Re:You got the quote wrong on Real Feels iTunes Backlash · · Score: 1

    Please stop using plural verb forms when referring to a company name. You are making the baby jebus cry.

  10. Re:WRONG! Link to CNN transcript where Gore said i on It's Just the 'internet' Now? · · Score: 1

    Reading what you posted puts into context what Gore said, and proves that the Right exaggerated and even lied.

    The last time I looked, it is unethical to take quotes out of context or to replace a persons words.

  11. Re:Blaming the tool again... on LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There's something to be said when a vote in one state counts more than a vote in another. Namely, there is no equality under the law.

  12. Ruby Ridge? on Too slow! FBI Shuts Down Hosting Service · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    Clinton administration under that bastion of civil liberties (nevermind Waco, Ruby Ridge, or Elian Gonzalez)

    I hate to get offtopic here, but it really annoys me when democrat bashers don't even know what they're talking about. I bet you listen to Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage religiously.

    Hint, Ruby Ridge happened in '92.

  13. Re:Not now..... on Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed · · Score: 1

    Producing Pu-239 is an expensive process, and even so we have a finite amount that we can produce. As I said, we can only sustain civilization completely on nuclear energy for about 100 years before we run out.

    And you're the one who doesn't what you're talking about:

    and it doesn't output tons of radioactive material per day. (*cough*coal plants*cough*)

    Output from coal is harmful to the environment but is hardly radioactive.

  14. Re:Not now..... on Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed · · Score: 1

    Face it. Nuclear power is the only source of power that can produce enough power to maintain our civilization long term.

    If this was really your pet peeve then you'd realize that the materials needed for nuclear energy aren't that common on our planet.

    Uranium-235 only comprises .7% of the uranium in the world. Don't get me started on Plutonium-239. If the world were to convert completely to nuclear energy, we'd have about 100 years before the lights went out.

  15. Legal Tactic on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    I bet this is so they can pull a SCO "they copied our source" crap.

  16. Re:Dean was too busy being the antiBush. on The Internet, Media and Politics · · Score: 1

    Hmm, looking at his website I don't see anything that says "Bush is Evil, Let's all hate Bush."

    Also, if you *had* actually gone to his website you may have noticed the link on the left side of the page that says "On the Issues."

  17. Re:saw it coming on Intel Shifting 64-bit Plans · · Score: 1

    No stupid luna theme

    What?! Luna is there, but the Themes service is disabled by default. Just re-enable it, then change the theme from Classic to XP Style, and you too can experience Tonka goodness!

  18. Re:Working for the government is easy.. on Interviewing with the NSA · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ahh, I get it now. So that's why people employed in [insert government agency here] don't care about our Constitutional rights!

  19. Re:Not good for a new game on Shadowbane Servers Hacked, Chaos Ensues · · Score: 1

    I have never even heard Shadowbane, though I've probably walked by the box in CompUSA or Best Buy. Now, my interest is perked, and I'm sure Ubi will plug the hole.

  20. Star Trek on LCD Display/Image Capture Device · · Score: 1

    So, still more Star Trek style technology comes to be. I always wondered why the hell Picard was talking to a screen.

  21. Creationists on Scientists Don't Read the Papers They Cite · · Score: 1

    I've noticed nearly all creationists don't read the sources they cite. Nor do they follow things to the source to make sure the information is legit.

  22. Re:huh? on Keanu Reeves as Superman · · Score: 1

    Are you a moron?

    Read the link, it was a formal outdoor news conference at the O'Hare Airport , not a private communication.

  23. Re:huh? on Keanu Reeves as Superman · · Score: 1

    Here is a link.

  24. Re:More afraid of Socialism on MIT Technology Review on Where Orwell Went Wrong · · Score: 1

    Yes, most of Europe is socialist, but I don't see them doing much lately.

    Perhaps you should actually start reading news besides what's fed to you in the States?

  25. Twins & Lawsuits on Encoding DNA as Music for Copyrighting? · · Score: 1

    So, a guy encodes his DNA as music so he can copyright it. Can he then sue his identical twin for violating his copyright?
