  1. Re:I can wait on LHC Offline Until April 2009 (Or Longer) · · Score: 2, Funny

    Gordon Freeman was on hand to take care of things.

  2. Re:Bad News for Halo Wars? on Ensemble Studios' Canceled Project Was Halo MMO · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The original was fantastic.
    The ringworld idea was executed very well, and everything tied together to make a really fun game, great multiplay and good coop.

    When they tried to engineer fun is one of the many mistakes. Halo 2 had alot of problems too.

    The biggest mistake I think was not stopping.

  3. In other news... on Saturn's Rings May Be Very Old · · Score: 1

    Space could be very big.

  4. Re:Posting near the top.... on "Anonymous" Hacks Palin's Private Email · · Score: 2, Funny

  6. Mr. Carmack are you still around? on Twilight of the GPU — an Interview With Tim Sweeney · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I want to hear what John Carmack thinks about this.
    Does he agree/disagree and why?

    I always like seeing two giants in the industry debate on high level topics. It gives some insight into trends... and I just plain dig gaming anyway...

  7. MOD PARENT UP!!! on Server Optimization For Newbies? · · Score: 1

    MOD PARENT UP!!!!

    A really positive spin on the whole thing.

    Apparently you've never heard of 4chan.

  10. Your powers combined on Dreamworks and Carmack Discuss 3D and Threading At IDF · · Score: 1

    Wow, I would really like to see Carmack work in the cgi industry with some of these guys. Everything he works on is generally next level, even if the concept flops.

    Gives me chills thinking about a dream team making a movie or a game or something.

  11. XP and Linux on Comparison of Windows XP and Linux/Sugar On the OLPC XO · · Score: 0

    Are these two friends now that MS has disbanded xp?

  12. Re:Scary Stuff on eBay'er Arrested For Attempting To Sell His Vote · · Score: 1

    MOD PARENT UP.

    This is very very important.
    The value of the vote just isn't what it used to be.

  13. Snoop is such a negative word.. on 1 In 3 Sysadmins Snoop On Colleagues · · Score: 1

    I'd say we're just looking over their files, for their own protection.

    Really though it's kind of part of the job to a certain extent, ethically of course.

  14. The mirrors have FF3 on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1
  15. FF3 not even posted on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    The mozilla.com site hasn't even posted FF3... only rc3 is out.

    Epic fail.

  16. Re:D: on Darling Brothers, UK Indie Game Devs, Upgraded to CBE · · Score: 1

    Grid is an amazing game. I'm usually not into racing games... this game though is fantastic.

    Reviewers are saying it's like going to dinner with a supermodel only to discover she's also as witty as a stand-up comic.

  17. Re:Build a on What Shall We Do With the Moon Once We Get There? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Thats no moon...

    Oh wait.

    Any cypher made by man can be broken by man.

  19. Like my old boss used to say on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    "Nothing like drinkin and drivin."

    Seriously though.... usual fud. I like rockstar's reply.

  20. Strong arming on Amazon Insists Publishers Use Their On-Demand Printer · · Score: 1

    What is Amazon the mafia?
    They are directly going against their vision statement.

    "Our vision is to be earth's most customer centric company; to build a place where people can come to find and discover anything they might want to buy online."
    Sure.

    Unless Amazon pulls a 180, I'm going to stop buying from them.

  22. Good news and bad news on Large Hadron Collider Sparks 'Doomsday' Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Good news is, this could usher in a new age of science. Bad news is it could kill us all.

  23. Wont hold up on Blizzard Sues Creator of WoW Bot · · Score: 2

    This will not hold up in court. It'd be like windows suing people for making programs for windows, that use up resources.

    WoW is just another shell that this guy has programed for, and they are pissy cause it automates certain things. As far as I'm concerned someone should be free to do whatever they want, with the game they buy, and the account they pay for.
    People aren't exploiting people, they are automating their characters.

    I think blizzard is out of line.

  24. Re:I don't believe it. on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nonsense. All testing is done by capable and brilliant scientists, now back to my experiment.

    Uh, it's probably not a problem, probably, but I'm showing a small discrepancy in... well, no, it's well within acceptable bounds again. Sustaining sequence.

  25. Technological Singularity on Artificial Intelligence at Human Level by 2029? · · Score: 1

    According to Vinge it'll happen before 2030.

    We'll see.
