  1. Re:From Someone Who Makes His LIving Playing on Pokerbots Making Online Players Sad · · Score: 1

    He won his 10th bracelet this year. Not quite a dozen, but he's tied for the most every w/ Johnny Chan.

  2. Oops on Google Announces 'Google Movies' · · Score: 1

    There - ARE - also no ads...?

  3. Re:Valve is not your friend on Inside the Shadow Internet · · Score: 1

    I assume you are talking about Amway? I am interning there now and it's super badass :)

  4. Saw this earlier on Virtual Real Estate Boom Draws Real Dollars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Society has finally reached so low that it has forced us to created an alternative virtual world to live in. People are so depressed about their own lifes and desire material wealth, so they go out and buy this game, pay $10 a month to play it, and then pay what is essencially real money as a 'tax' on their *virtual* property?

    At least EQ and UO and the breed somewhat hide the fact that it's an escapist environment by calling it a 'mmorpg'. This 'game' is called 'second life'??? I would imagine that people with these second lives could better spend the time improving their first ones.

  5. Hrmm on The Wireless Backpack Repeater · · Score: 0

    Burning calories is fine, but is it low in carbs too?!

    What are we going to do this time?
    Nothing Rabbit.
    How about the repeater?
    Nothing Rabbit.

    License and registration please sir. ... License and registration please sir.

    Wow, I've got nothing.

  6. Uh oh! on Software Upgrade Crashes UK Air Traffic Control System · · Score: -1, Troll

    That sounds like terrorism to me.

    Dubya should just cluster bomb all of England, just in case they are harboring terrorists!

  7. Re:Pre-order=beta access? on Blizzard's World of Warcraft Beta Goes Live · · Score: 1

    You are thinking of lineage 2 (www.lineage2.com) by NC Soft :)

  8. I call on Recovering Secret HD Space · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Shenanigans.

    No way in heck can you increase the amount of storage a HDD has so drastically. I mean, the physical disks can only hold so much, and no matter what you do, they arent going to magically double or triple.

    These are physical disks, they have a set number of sectors. One size and one size only.

    Unless you get into the whole mega vs. mibi byte but thats a whole nother can of worms!

  9. Best... quote... ever... on The State of the Game Console Wars · · Score: 0

    Well, maybe not the best, but pretty darn good.

    "Visit a video game message board and you'll find verbal warfare, Nintendo owners vs. X-Box owners vs. Playstation 2 owners. Accusations of sexual deviance are their bombs, typographical errors their bullets."

  10. Re:It's weblog on William Gibson on Movies, Music, Media · · Score: 0

    LOG of crap. I bet that quite a large percentage of blogs are corporately sponsored. I seem to remember a recent blogger being flamed out of business for accepting payments for links and movie suggestions or something like that. I guess since pop up ads and banners are pretty much dead creating a themed content based website and selling secret promotion is going to be the future of internet advertising?

    Just imagine companies (movies, music, websites that want to be popular) paying to have articles about them posted on /. so they get a lot of attention/traffic. Is that already happening?...

  11. Re:Japanese characters on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released · · Score: 0

    Mandarin, not Japanese... and they have always been there.

  12. Yes! on Deathmatch for Dollars? · · Score: 0

    Now I can sell my custom aimbot that is undectable by id's servers for hundreds of dollars to all kinds of people all over the world who will now have a REAL reason to cheat. If so many people are cheating now when there is no incentive, imaging how many will start cheating when money is on the line?

  13. I got on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 0

    a $25 Wal-mart gift certificate from the company and a little leather note book thing from my department. I am not complaining since I am just a co-op student who work 6 months out of the year!

  14. For a minute on Autonomous Race Cars · · Score: 0

    I thought I was going crazy and this story was a repost! Then I saw in older stories an autonomous under-water vehicle story.

    haha, I must be retarded. Damn college rots your brain!

  15. Two Words... on MTV Movie Awards Webpage Pull a Lone Gunman · · Score: 0

    DANG GINA!

    Someone is going to get fired for sure.

    And the best movie is.... LoTR!!! Duh?

  16. Re:i see great potential on Spoofing URLs With Unicode · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Dont go to it unless you are into sick nasty pr0n....

    WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT!

  17. I fail to see on Spoofing URLs With Unicode · · Score: 0

    how this is that important. I mean, who cares if you can register a similar address? www.yahii.com is a typo just like any other mistyped address. I am sure they get a lot of hits from it but I dont think this kind of 'hack' will be that big of a deal.

  18. I skipped school!!!!!!! on So Did the Hordes Really Skip out for Episode 2? · · Score: 1

    But only because I was very sick with a 100 degree + fever =( I didnt get to see it until yesterday (Friday) and I didnt think it was that great of a movie. A lot of things were unexplained (like Count Ducoo or whatever his name is) and it seemed like there were an awful lot of scene changes???

    Oh well... ITS STARWARS!

  19. I am sure that.... on Apple Sues Sorenson Over QuickTime Codec · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I am sure that all 5% of us with Macintosh computers care =) Oh wait, I dont have one. Now its only 4.95%

  20. Dang Lawyers on Fighting Back Against EULAs · · Score: 0

    I think that a EULA should contain a layerese version and a laymans term version which would have to be under 2 pages and contain only terms people would actually know. All the indecipherable jargon makes most people just click the 'I agree' button.

    Just my $.005 Canadian (even though I am not Canadian!)

  21. ARR MATEY on Playstation 3 In the Works · · Score: 1, Funny

    So this means I have to shell out another $300 for the console but prolly $40 for a network adapter plus $50 per game plus online fees. I have to get another job, maybe sony is hiring beta testers?

  22. Just and FYI on Hubble's Upgrade: Pretty Pictures · · Score: 0

    Some of those space shots make incredible backgrounds. Eiher straight up or thorow them in photoshop and filter it a bit, maybe a nice blurr or somthing. I am sure your attention spands are shot so ill sign off...
