  1. Re:Taoism for the win. on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1

    Buddhism is hardly a minor religion (fifth largest according to wikipedia) and one of its precepts is not to take any life.

  2. Re:Forrest Mims on Where To Start In DIY Electronics? · · Score: 1

    A nice middle ground is building a minimal arduino clone.

  3. Re:Projects caught in the middle on Nintendo Wins Lawsuit Over R4 Mod Chip Piracy · · Score: 1

    It's the other way around. Commercial games are limited by the amount of ROM in the cart, homebrew games can use as much of the card it is stored on. Unless you're using big and small to mean something other than data size...

  4. Re:Summary wrong on Golden Ratio Discovered In a Quantum World · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's an irrational number...

  5. Re:Fix how it handles tabs on A Mixed Review For Google Chrome On Linux · · Score: 1

    There is a slackbuild for chrome here.

  6. Re:Absolutely no discussion of FreeBSD drivers on NVIDIA Driver Developer Discusses Linux Graphics · · Score: 1

    Thanks to the recent developments in the FreeBSD community to address our long standing list of issues on that platform [15], we should finally be able to provide an NVIDIA FreeBSD x86_64 driver.

  7. Re:This is hardly anything new on Students Take Pictures From Space On $150 Budget · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Some people provide better images too. The site I've linked even provides videos.

  8. Two screens for a book reader...? on Asus Plans Dual-Display E-Reader · · Score: 1

    It doesn't make much sense to me. Bound books use both sides of the paper because the other side would be blank otherwise... Two screens on a device like this is pretty pointless.

  9. Spiderweb Software on What (And Where) Are The Classic Free Games? · · Score: 1

    Spiderweb Software makes some great games, most noteable are their RPGs, you should give the Avernum (remakes of their Exile games) series a go, they are really great.

  10. We used to be able to... on Games in High School? · · Score: 1

    Until a few months ago a bunch of kids at my school would play Counter Strike everyday after school... It was ended because the district doesn't allow it, the school didn't care.

  11. CRT is better for more than just price. on Apple Releases New PowerBook and the eMac · · Score: 1

    LCDs are more likely to be hurt than a CRT. LCD's don't have glass in front of them, you can tear (or sabotage) a LCD screen.

  12. Re:Good job... by Microsoft :-) on Myth 2 Server Goes Open Source · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Technically you are right, but when Bungie was bought they retained control over their work... If Microsoft (you know, the complete entity) had say so I would bet they wouldn't have be able to release the code.

  13. You Killed Bob! on New Years Marathons · · Score: 1

    Do video gamemarathons count? mmm... 4 player Super Smash Brothers Melee games... mmm... friend might bring over some Simpsons...

  14. Problem with Linux games... on The Best Linux Games of 2001? · · Score: 1

    IMHO the problem with most Linux games is that they are ports or clones, that's not saying they aren't fun, it's just saying that they are the same old thing. I want the next "Black and White" to be a Linux game, then maybe Linux would get press for games?

  15. There _IS_ Record of Lodoss War for Dreamcast on Sega Drops Dreamcast Price To $50 · · Score: 1

    Record of Lodoss War was released for Dreamcast in the USA.

  16. Re:Soul Calibur on Sega Drops Dreamcast Price To $50 · · Score: 1

    Yes, Soul Calibur is great. I just bought my friend's Dreamcast on saturday for $70 (Doh! I could have gotten it for less now :/) with his 2 games (Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure) and I've been spending a lot of time playing Soul Calibur. It's a great game with awesome graphics.

    ::Will go back to playing as Seung Mina as soon as his sister finishes playing Mario Brothers with NesterDC::

  17. Sounds Good on The Anti-Thesaurus: Unwords For Web Searches · · Score: 1

    My friend found that one of the highest things people were finding his webcomic by was "Digimon Porn"... And his comic has no "digimon" or "porn" about it...

  18. Re:Very clever... on Gamecube Hits US Early · · Score: 1

    Nobody is trying to make console gaming a better place, they're only trying to sell consoles and make money here. Final Fantasy was an exclusive on the NES, SNES, and then PlayStation. Nintendo keeps Mario, Zelda, Metriod on their systems only. That helped sell systems.

    ::points out that Sega is now making games for other systems because their console didn't win::

    That is what will happen when they take over the market, Nintendo will develop for X-Box

  19. Re:Ringworld? on First Review of Halo · · Score: 1

    Bungie said a long time ago that they got the idea of the ring from Ringworld.

  20. Good Read on iTunes 2.0 Installer Deletes Hard Drives · · Score: 2, Redundant

    http://newforums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi? ubb=get_topic&f=46&t=000865

    It has some info about causes and solutions...

  21. Re:Let me be the first to say... on HP Calculator Department Closing · · Score: 1

    I got a friend at school who uses an HP which you can hear running and it takes forever to shade a graph on it too. I'm not sure what kind it was but all I can say is his was not one I want to use... I own a TI-92+ and haven't had any problems with it (not to mention I don't hear it running). I do agree that it is sad that HP is closeing their calc division though, and i would like to try their calcs more then I have.

  22. W00T!!! on Sony Annouces Linux PS2 Port for US · · Score: 1

    I finally have a reason to buy a PS2... ::waits for external HDD::

  23. Re:Simple answer [Ich bin schmutzig!] on IgNobel Awards · · Score: 1

    Or you could just be like me and not bathe at all

  24. Re:Just watched it! on Ghost in the Shell 2, Matrix Revisted, Daft Punk · · Score: 1

    I've seen the DVDs and seen the first two eps on Cartoon Network, I don't think there was anything changed at all unless it was very very small... I'm wondering what they are gonna do on epi 13... :)

  25. Re:Anime is stupid! on Ghost in the Shell 2, Matrix Revisted, Daft Punk · · Score: 1

    FYI the word "otaku" is japanese for "geek", "nerd", and the like... it has been used as an english word for someone who loves anime for some time. So yes, it is in fact news for nerds.
