  1. Not that I care about either series on The Lone Gunmen Aren't Dead? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Not that I care about either series, but spoilers like that are ghey.

  2. Well mod me down and call me karmawhore on Ten Technology Disasters · · Score: 3, Funny

    From the article:The result was the most lavishly appointed and heavily armed warship of its day, but one too long and too tall for its beam and ballast--a matchless array of features on an unstable platform.

    That's like Windows, right?

  3. Re:or Halifax. on Ten Technology Disasters · · Score: 1

    If two small cargo ships full of heavy water crashed into each other, they would leak out a lot of heavy water and some oil.

    If a small cargo ship that was almost full of heavy water and a large amount of explosives, exploded, it would cause a rain of heavy water.

    In short: heavy water wouldn't cause a nuclear explosion, as you seem to imply.

  4. Re:Your life or my life ? on FF XI Goes Live in Japan · · Score: 1

    no game will ever equal that feeling as you blast in a shot from 20 yards, or nail a 3 pointer over your work mates.

    Well maybe your friends don't suck as much as mine. Oh, I forgot, we don't do anything that involves any excercise..

  5. FFX on FF XI Goes Live in Japan · · Score: 1

    Okay, so when do we Europeans get Final fantasy X? (Yeah, I know at the end of May)

    Final fantasy IV and V were just released (for PSX) and FFVI not long ago. Chrono cross was never released and now we are one game behind even with current Final fantasies.

    Good work Square! Fucking two thumbs up!

  6. Re:The truth behind Anakin losing his R hand! on Review: Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    He had to loose it or lose it? Think about it....

  7. Yoda, a mosquito on crack on Review: Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    He flips, he spins, he darts through the air like a mosquito on crack.

    You see, he just used the same tactic I did in Jedi Outcast in every lightsaber-fight. Force speed+swing the glostick like crazy. My god those fights were over quickly. Actually one of the better parts of the game was to charge with force speed into a room full of stormtroopers, and cut them all down before the first one hit the floor.

  8. Re:MicroSofts downfall on PS2 Price May Fall, Gamecube Staying Put · · Score: 1

    Except that not nearly everyone who bought an Xbox bought 4 games and controllers. I don't know what the official numbers are, but I doubt people have bought more than two games, and maybe one extra controller on average. And I'm pretty sure that even fewer people have bought the special AV-cables. The DVD kits are probably a little more popular than the spcial cables, but I'd say that neither the cables nor the DVD-kits have sold nearly as much as the console itself.

    I'd say it's more like 2.25 games, 0.75 extra controllers, 0.25 DVD kits and 0.1 special cables per console. These are off the top of my head, so they could be totally wrong...

  9. Re:Cart prices killed on Neo-Geo : The Game Console That Won't Die · · Score: 1

    I'd say Super Nintendo was more mainstream than Sega Megadrive. SNES pretty much reamed MD.

  10. Re:When I was a kid.. on Neo-Geo : The Game Console That Won't Die · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if Gauntlet has been released or is being made for Gameboy Advance?

    Four players, drool....

  11. Re:Are back menus fixed yet? on Mozilla 1.0 RC2 is out · · Score: 1

    Then use the Opera way. Hold right mouse button, click left, release right.

    Forward is "hold left, click right, release left."

    This combined to pages reappearing instantly and smooth mouse scrolling is the main reason browsing with Opera feels so good to me.

  12. Re:Cool projection? on Homebrewed LCD Projectors · · Score: 1

    If you want Lots Of Light, use sulphur lamps. Or lamp.

  13. Re:Apache, BMW edition on Computers and Cars: A Maddening Experience? · · Score: 1

    Very long. HTH HAND

  14. Re:This definitely gives me pause on Computers and Cars: A Maddening Experience? · · Score: 1

    You have to take your hand off the steering wheel when navigating the menus of a cellphone, and you have to look at the phone's display. A car could have a HUD, and navigation could be on the steering wheel, kind of like the hotas-system fighters have. That way you wouldn't have to take your eyes off the road, or take your hands off the steering wheel.

  15. Re:The gearhead hacker's dream on Computers and Cars: A Maddening Experience? · · Score: 1

    *cough*cough*bullshit*cough*cough*

    Yes I am sure people will fuck around with their $LOTS car. BMW probably won't licence the UI to anyone, because there is no need to. It's not like someone is going to write applications. They're going to keep the code and improve it themselves, or contract someone to do it for them.

  16. Re:If Your Eyes are Getting Old on Computers and Cars: A Maddening Experience? · · Score: 1

    I have noticed that after spending a lot of time in the dark (like walking the dog in the evening), I have had trouble reading the display of my watch (yes it is backlit, ha ha). This could be a problem with the iDrive as well.

  17. Re:BMW 745i on Computers and Cars: A Maddening Experience? · · Score: 1

    Either way, clutch left/gas right may not be the case in Europe, where people drive while sitting in the right hand seat.

    You're confusing Europe with Britain.

  18. Re:Fishy screenshots on Matrox's New Three-Head Video Card · · Score: 1

    No they aren't. Look at the bottom of the screens.

  19. Obligatory on Star Wars: AOTC Reviews Pour In · · Score: 1

    So, the MPAA is good this friday? I forgot.

  20. Re:Does anyone else find it interesting... on Attack of the Clones Cut in UK · · Score: 1

    That's because most men seem to think that pictures of penises shoot homo-rays that instantly turn any male, that sees them, gay.

  21. Re:For a little more confusion on The Matrix is Reloading · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, i forgot to mention, that Cronenberg cheated the viewer, because the movie ended at one "reality level" higher than it began.

    Warning. Spoiler above.

  22. Re:Some other movies on The Matrix is Reloading · · Score: 1

    eXistenZ is the worst movie ever.

    "Hey, tell me the truth... are we still in the game?" Well, I don't know. Did you start playing a game called "unveiling of a new virtual-reality game console" If you can't remember something like that, well, I guess you are not in the game...

  23. Re:You don't understand philosophy on The Matrix is Reloading · · Score: 1

    Don't forget seven minute abs.

    It's-a me, Maarioo! Let's-e go!

  25. Re:Don't complain on Traffic Cameras in D.C. · · Score: 1

    I can see how this is a problem, seeing as the traffic camera automaticly tries to stop you, and failing that, it will send an army of killer robots to hunt you if you don't pay the fine.

    It's a completely autonomous system. No human interaction needed.
