  1. Ouch! on Nintendo's Playstation Settlement Bombshell (or not...updated) · · Score: 1

    That's a lot of clams.

    Sony, you've been owned, have a nice day!

  2. Ugh. on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 2, Funny

    This'll be just like Terminator 3...

    Instead of "I'll be back." .... "Ach, my back!"

  3. Is it possible? on Trident XP4 Reviewed · · Score: 3, Funny

    This card rivals the ATI Raedon for the 'worst drivers in the industry' award?

  4. No on Jon Johansen DeCSS Trial Next Week · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's their points, which they have a limited amount of. They can "spend" them whichever way they please.

  5. Clockwork Orange reference... on 24 Hours Of Beethoven's 9th Symphony · · Score: 1

    [Listening to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony]
    Alex: Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!

  6. Like, any releation to "The Dude" on Ellen Feiss Interview · · Score: 1

    I swear, she is like SO related to "The Dude".

  7. Re:Aliens? on New Alienware Media Center · · Score: 0

    Man, Paxton was awesome in Aliens.

  8. Simple. on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Windows for games.

    Linux for everything else.

  9. Who Da Man? on Jedi Archives In Dublin Library? · · Score: 1

    Yo Da Man, if you visit this library!

  10. What about Linux from Scracth? on Lightest of the Light Linux · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://www.linuxfromscratch.org

    Also includes a CowboyNeal load of documentation!

  11. I remember... on Altavista Renewed · · Score: 1

    I remember when AltaVista was the best search engine (sometime back in 1997, I think). I used to use it exclusively, but then switched to google.

  12. Debian and GCC 3.2 on Two Reviews of Debian 3.0 · · Score: 1

    Anyone got this working? It would probably make apt-get useless (as all the packages are compiled with 2.95 *I think*).

  13. Trailers *are* the best.... on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 2, Funny

    The trailers are usually the best part of the movie... heh.

  14. Bleh on PCs Losing Out as a Gaming Platform? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Consoles are great for some genres of games (such as FF-style RPG's, Sports games, party games etc), but when it comes to FPS, RTS or MMOG give me a PC any day of the week. How anyone can stand playing an FPS with a controller is beyond me. Consoles are generally a generation BEHIND by the time they are released, whereas you can get the latest and greatest graphics on a PC.

    Also, who wants to pay an internet connection fee PLUS a subscription fee (for XBox Live! or Sony Online) when they can just pay the internet fee and play the game for free over the net on a PC?

  15. You see that red button? on Thailand's "Q" Banks on Rubber Bullets · · Score: 1

    Whatever you do, don't push it.

    Why not?

    Because you'll activate and fire the passenger side ejector seat.

    Ejector seat? You must be joking!

    I never joke about my work.

  16. I don't buy the game for the game itself... on UT2003 Gone Gold, Ships with Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Nowadays I just purchase the game for the engine, in hopes that the mod community will make something exciting out of it.

  17. Re:What kind of time? on Talk To a Convicted Warez Guy · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that any sentence 2 years or more in length would automatically put you in a federal prison (which is why one often hears "Two years less a day.").

  18. Fake on UT2003 Demo Ready · · Score: 1

    That's a "mislabled" pre-release build.

  19. Re:Not very good yet on UT2003 Demo Ready · · Score: 1

    I think UT2K3 is one of the best pre-release demo's I've ever played (certainly better than Quake3). Graphics look great on my system (Athlon XP 1800+/512MB DDR RAM/GF3 Ti500), and I have had no problem with aiming (are you sure you turned off the "autoaim" flag in settings?).

  20. Riiiight.... on Audiogalaxy Returns as Pay Service · · Score: 1

    Who is going to use a pay service when they can get just as much out of a FREE P2P network like Gnutella?

  21. Please, PLEASE on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD · · Score: 1

    Will they be getting rid of some of those annoying 360-degree vista shots? I have a bad feeling that there will be another 10 of them in the extra footage.

    *shudders*

  22. System Req's... on Doom III Officially Announced · · Score: 2, Funny

    All your resources are belong to us.

    Yeah I know, but it's late, give me a break ;)

  23. Huh? on "EverQuest II" to debut in 2003 · · Score: 1

    EQ2?? When are they going to fix EQ1?

  24. Speed on Perlbox: A Unix Desktop Written in Perl · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd be very curious as to how fast that desktop ran, as well. Don't Perl scripts get compiled every time they are run?

  25. Another Bug on Don't Hit That Back Button · · Score: 1
    If you type
    dev://developers
    in the URL bar of IE, it plays the video of Steve Balmer showing off his dancing movez...
