  1. Re:See any serious problems with this story? on Five Free Calculus Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Then author_insanity -> infinity would mean that in theory reviewedd_calc_books is neglectable. This means that you can be insane without doing calculus review...we all knew that!

  2. brains on Video Games Make People Fat and Mean · · Score: 1

    Atleast the kids are using some parts of their brains when playing videogames compared to tv, where you practically goes into deep rem sleep.

  3. Re:Vinyl on Cell Phone with Camera = Scanner · · Score: 1

    If you cared to actually examine the article that you so hastly linked to you'd notice that it's not about scanning the lp but recording from the line-in.

  4. Re:AMD is doing just fine on AMD Could Profit from Buffer-Overflow Protection · · Score: 1

    I highly doubt it but I wouldn't know since I havn't used an intel machine since the pentium 1 days myself. The only think that might be an advantage is intels automatic clock throttling when the cpu gets overheated.

  5. Re:AMD is doing just fine on AMD Could Profit from Buffer-Overflow Protection · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Well, if you have some brains up there you'd be smart enough to buy the cheaper of the two equally performing processors. If the processor is a 'non-issue' you'd be stupid to go with the more expensive alternative.

    Yes, AMD is cheaper, yes AMD overclocks better. Personally I don't overclock so that is a non-issue for me but I do want maximum performance for my well-earned money and hence tends to stay away from intel, ie. most 'bang for the buck' sort of thing.

    It's just to bad that your body will be just as stiff as it is now, and hence, you'll likely hurt yourself when trying to show of your non-existant dexterity.

    Nope, I own a gambecube and I love it.

  9. The only thing lacking. on GameCube's Timeline, Accomplishments Charted · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Pretty much the only thing that is lacking for the Gamecube is a good GT and a good racing game (both with authentic cars, preferable combined, like Gran turismo and Sega GT).

    PS2 have Grand turismo, metal gear and the final fantasy series. Xbox have project gotham 2.

    Which console is more attractive now?

  11. Multiplayer test on 1503AD and the Rapid Erosion of End-User Rights? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Seems from what I read on the homepage is that they are conducting multiplayer testing atm, or will in the near future and a public beta/test will come before the final multiplayer patch.

    Are you sueing them because they took the decision to not ship multiplayer with the final product and you where to lazy to read some reviews that probably states this before you bought the game? Or are you sueing them because they can't write code (read: develope multiplayer) as fast as you would like ?

    IMO. seems like an extremly weak lawsuit.

    The difference is that the record companies actually sells the discs with two copies on them *gasp*.

    2mbit costs around $55 with the ISP mentioned above, dunno about the other ISPs though.

  25. Re:Ninntendo is choosing cute characters on Nintendo - Stodgy, Not-So-Super Mario? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you havn't noticed, 'Nintendo' is not the same thing as 'Gamecube'. The 'mature excuse' is pretty old to and makes you look as though you have been living in a cave for the past two or three years.
