  1. Re:Also... on This Just In - Gamers Are Human · · Score: 1

    BBQ?

  2. Re:In other news... on How Company Employees Use The Web · · Score: 1

    Nah. That'd be a vasectomy.

  3. Gigabyte of email on Forward This Article And Get Paid $203.15 · · Score: 1

    "When I got back to school, my account was locked up. There was like a gigabyte of mail, thousands upon thousands of messages."

    Sounds like he could've used Gmail.

  4. Power Joy III on Retro Gaming Gets Hot · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Another of the plug-and-play multiple game controllers is the Power Joy III, which packs 84 NES games (though many were never released in America, and one is, unusually, marked as having been created in 2003), and also comes with one of those silly LCD foo-hundred in ones, which is really just a few games with different speeds/difficulties. ThinkGeek used to carry it (which is how I got it), but it seems to have vanished from their lineup.

  5. Outside the Inbox on Spam as Poetry · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is reminiscent of the Outside the Inbox music compliation project.

  6. More importantly... on E3 Wrapup Documented · · Score: 1

    Can you insert a new game cartridge without removing the battery now?

  7. Scouter? on Laser Vision Offers New Insights · · Score: 2, Funny

    Am I the only one who thinks the image of the device looks suspiciously like the Dragon Ball Z scouter device used by the Saiyans?

  8. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V? on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't copy and paste work just as well?

  9. Re:get in? on Orkut Goes Dark, At Least For A Bit · · Score: 1

    You can only get in by getting an invitation from somebody who is already a member. The connections can get quite complex, though -- out of 25 or so friends, I was connected to over 7000 people, out of (last time I checked) about 8500.

  10. Re:It is a good thing.. on Orkut Goes Dark, At Least For A Bit · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can answer this.

    When you do a search on orkut for people, you can save your search settings. Male only, female only, picture or no picture, within a certain distance from a zip code, things like that. You can set the search so that you'll look up every member, and then save that setting. Then you go to write a message, and you have the option of selecting a search setting to send it to. Load up the setting that selects everybody, and wham -- global message.

  11. Re:Remember southpark? on Orkut Goes Dark, At Least For A Bit · · Score: 1

    IANAPsychologist, but it makes sense to me. Elitism attracts followers. You just have to make sure you don't take it so far that everybody stops wanting to follow you and starts hating you. ;-)

  12. David Kushner on Justin Frankel On AOL, Subverting The Status Quo · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I usually skip the author of articles (the way I skip ad banners at the tops of sites), but after seeing how much he interacted with Frankel during the interview (even picking up an electric guitar and jamming with him a bit!), I went back to the top and was surprised to see it was written by David Kushner, the same man who wrote Masters of Doom.

  13. Same name on Spamholes Fighting Spammers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Spamhole is the name of a temporary e-mail redirection service, good for those times when you need to submit an address for a verification code but don't want the company's spam to fill your inbox afterward (why would you?).

  14. ALClient on What is a Good Free MUD Client? · · Score: 1

    The Ashavar's Legacy client works pretty well -- small, packed with all the essential features, and not much else. The creator is pretty receptive to new ideas as well: two things I suggested got into the client within weeks.

  15. NH on War Driving To Be Protected In NH · · Score: 1

    "War Driving To Be Protected In Nethack"?

    Hmm... Too much Nethack for me tonight...

  16. Re:Closed source.... on Microsoft: Because Bugs are Cool · · Score: 1

    "Bill said the don't release new products for bug fixes, and they don't. They release patches and service packs for that. He never said they don't fix bugs, and he was never asked."

    That might be true, but then why didn't he just say something about it? "We don't release new versions of software to fix bugs, we release patches and service packs to do that." It would seem like a pretty obvious thing to say if somebody's all over you about it.

    A high INT doesn't make up for a low WIS.
