  1. Re:There should be 13 stripes on the US flag on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the War · · Score: 1

    The 13 colonies myth again? Liberal Massachusetts clearly couldn't have had a part in founding this great God fearing nation.

  2. Re:We call this the linux philosophy on Bloatware Removal Threatens PC Industry Profits · · Score: 1

    I won't fly southwest because of their check in policy.

    I am on the watch list so I have to check in at the counter. It doesn't matter how early I get to the airport, half a plane worth of cattle has checked in online already and they get herded on before me so I end up sitting between two fat guys because there are no other open seats.

  3. Re:OMG ... first names... then what? Last names? on Gmail Reveals the Names of All Users · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute...

    Rumpelstiltskin!!!

  4. Re:Why Logan anyway on WiFi At Logan Airport Leads To Turf War · · Score: 1

    I got redirected to Logan after getting bumped coming back from spring break, and they put me on a bus to providence, which I imagine would run in both directions. The airport isn't actually in providence of course, so you'd have a few obnoxious little transfers to deal with, but you could do it.

  5. Re:Is IBM is stupid? on User Group Urges IBM To Open OS/2 · · Score: 1

    But wouldn't there be parts that IBM soley owns? Sure it might not be a whole OS anymore but they could open up parts, that might still be useful to some people.

  6. By an "absence" of a world view on Biases in Simulation Video Games · · Score: 1

    You merely affirm your view that a pure simulation is best. Nothing is ever devoid of higher meaning.

  7. Re:Casual and hardcore cannot be mixed... on MMOGs Only For the Hardcore? · · Score: 1

    Yes, and while I may be a level 2 in tennis I am not playing against andre agassi where as in MMORGPs the vetrans and the newbies do come into contact.

  8. Re:Gmini 400 is still pretty sweet. on Archos Widescreen PMP · · Score: 1

    How do you get the pictures off the card? Maybe I'm inept but I couldn't figure it out when I took it on vaction with me. I bought it more for watching movies in class, the CF reader was a bonus I wasn't aware of, which is why I wasn't too concerned when I couldn't figure out how to work it, but if you could tell me that'd be swell.

  9. Re:MMO War Game on Concepts That Should Be Games? · · Score: 1

    WWII online was somewhat like that, didn't really take off though. You were a member of whatever army you felt like being, and as you gained in rank by completing missions and things like that, you'd have access to better equipment, and the ability to post missions for other people to do. You fought for control of towns, which were really just spawn points, and the various towns would create the front. I liked it, it was pretty fun.

  10. While I haven't seen the game yet on Super Mario, Civ IV, Katamari Hands-On Impressions · · Score: 1

    I see no reason why Civ IV would need to be in 3D. I have never liked those 3D interfaces for what should be a 2D game; I don't want graphical advancement at the expense of gameplay.

  11. Re:Sounds like a great idea on The Unemployed Working on OSS Projects · · Score: 2, Funny

    God damnit you guys, shut up! This is my backup plan if I can't get a decent job as a coder and you guys go and blab about it on SLASHDOT of all places.

  12. Re:Innovate, not copy on Gates on Google · · Score: 3, Funny

    What about Bob?

  13. Re:Library of Congresses? on First 500 Terabytes Transmitted via LHCGlobal Grid · · Score: 2, Funny

  14. Re:obviously didn't RTFA on Sony Online To Sell Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    Yeah but previous to this it wasn't worth cash. Now by offically backing the marketplace, they are admiting that my golden mace is worth money, so by letting their server crash, I'm out cash.

  15. Re:obviously didn't RTFA on Sony Online To Sell Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    I didn't mean the transaction. What I meant was, say I kill some evil beast, and it drops a golden mace of slaying that I can sell, but then before I can get it back to put up for sale the server goes down and reverts back to a state a few hours earlier. Used to happen back in UO, I'd imagine servers can't keep totally update with saving the game stage, but then again I could be wrong.

  16. obviously didn't RTFA on Sony Online To Sell Virtual Property · · Score: 3, Interesting

    but what happens when there is a server crash and I lose some rare object I was going to sell for 50 bucks?

  17. Re:South Beach and Vice City on GTA3 and Vice City now Online Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    Now I've been to South Beach but never played the game: Does the game have as many crazy homeless people?

  18. Re:WoW = Modern day Ultima Online on World of Warcraft Outage Charted · · Score: 1

    I hate how they took that, which was SO much fun, and then watered it down patch by patch until it became the boring sandbox that every other game has tried to copy.

  19. Re:Robots.txt and Google on Google Calendar Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    I bet google loves all this idle speculation.

    "Calandar? Hey thats a great idea, someone start working on that"

  20. Re:The ringtone craze on Short History of Cellphone Ringtones · · Score: 1

    I have an LG4400, and I picked up a USB cable for it at radio shack for something like fifteen dollars, which allowed me to put all the ringtones I wanted on it for free, as well as load images, remove the annoying verizon banner, and other things.

  21. Re:This is bad for the students on Building a Linux Computer Lab for Schools? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps that is true for you, but here at URI we have a lot of macs in the labs, and some of the labs have computers that will boot into linux as well as windows.

  22. Great idea on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hey, that's not fair! Rather than help you in your good idea, to make it fair, we'll bitch about it.

  23. Re:A an interesting reversal... on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Fucking brilliant.

  24. Re:Thank Goodness... on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 0

    Stupid, those cities aren't in America, that can't possibly be why we didn't invade.

  25. Re:Book to movie? on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Screening Reviews · · Score: 1

    Fight club.

    In the book the division between Tyler and the main character was far less disctinct, and the introduction of tyler was less stylish. A great deal of the same dialouge remains in the movie, and while the ending was toned down slightly from the book, it was still on the same level.

    I much preffer the movie.
