  1. Re:Take an object, leave an object on Mogi Location-Based Mobile Gaming Hits Japan · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah the magic mushrooms I found it the park did make me grow, but I can't seem to find any fire flowers, feathers, or even a single giant windup sock.

  2. Re:They'll be able to deal with it.... on Nuclear 'Asteroids' Due In A Few Hundred Years · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd be more worried about us even remembering this will happen.

  3. Re:New Milestone? on Xbox Price Drop To $149 Now Official · · Score: 1

    It's only more expensive if you factor in the cost of human life from playing certain games.

  4. Re:Still too much on Xbox Price Drop To $149 Now Official · · Score: 2, Funny

    And please use a standard unit like a Volkswagen Beetle or Library of Congress.

  5. Re:Cheap Entertainment PC? on Xbox Price Drop To $149 Now Official · · Score: 1

    An Xbox with Xbox Media Center can't do PVR by itself yet but for playing MPEG 1/2/4 and virtually any audio it's great (any codec MPlayer can do). It can stream from SMB network shares, Internet, Replay TV and modified Tivos. Plays DVDs, DVD+/-R/Ws and CDs. Can lookup and download movie/album covers and gives a short review or IMDB rating. Skinable UI and can be booted in 20 seconds. Can output HDTV resolutions (although playback is still not where people would like it to be). Perfect HTPC just replace the fan.

  6. WHAT?! on Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise · · Score: 1

    So damn hard reading a computer screen with this cone of silence on. No annoying fan noises though.

  7. Re:An (almost) happy Shaw customer on Canadian Record Industry Presses ISPs in Court · · Score: 5, Funny

    Real pirates use shaws amazing Usenet server. Arrr.

  8. Xbox Live! on Playstation 3 Already Won the Next Gen Battle? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Last time I checked it was the best platform for online console games. With everything moving to broadband, I think the established network will be a giant foothold into the market that Sony will have to work hard to match. Microsoft and Sony have almpost the same hardware, the battle will be won with exclusive titles and features.

  9. Boxed Set Hopes on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 1

    I hope they make a version of the box for people who have already bought all the other extended editions. Anyone familiar with anime DVDs will know that many times the last or first volume of a series will come with a box to hold the remaining volumes. What they could do is have a "super-extended" boxed set for those who waited and for those who bought the extended versions when they were release they could have a box that would include DVDs with whatever content the "super-extended" adds. I doubt the extended versions of the films will be touched but there may be behind the scenes features that may be added. Here's hoping some companies think of the fans.

  10. The ballots are in! on Super Tuesday Not So Super For Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    Kerry wins all ten states buy a margin -100,000 votes. The rest follow in Celebrity Jeopardy fashion. Shawn Connery was the most popular write-in candidate with an impressive -200,000 votes, but as a non-American born has been disqualified. Connery was unavailable for comment; presumably because he was busy "Doing your mother."

  11. Re:How about non-tech security issues? on Super Tuesday Not So Super For Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    I'm actually doing a 30 page essay on electronic voting for a society and technology class. This is exactly one of my arguments, after reading a fair bit on what exactly Diebolds memos were all about I cannot advocate the use of electronic voting in it's current form. HAVA will only make things worse I can only hope for something terrible to happen to make everyone notice electronic voting is not ready and will only be ready when it's done right the first time.

  12. Could be worse... on Firmware Upgrades For Everything · · Score: 4, Informative

    They could charge extra for updates.

    RCA, makers of LYRA, has done worse though they advertised mp3Pro compatibility on their RD1080 but it did not use the psycoaudio data in playback (therefor using mp3Pro was useless). Close to a year later a firmware support the advertised fearture was released.

  13. Re:XBox Media Center on Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System? · · Score: 1

    At the moment XBMC does not have the ability to render DVD menus, but this is definately on the todo list.

  14. Re:Mirror on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    Well the mirror site is down, I got this in a minute.

  15. Re:Episode III better rock on Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Rumors · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I know this... is it Profit!?

  16. Wrong! on USA To Return To Moon By 2015, Then Mars · · Score: 1

    Uranus Experiment, Part 2.

    That's the name of Bush's marriage promotion.

  17. Re:Truth in advertising? on Should a '9200' Brand Mean a 9200 GPU? · · Score: 1

    Because Joe User has no idea what most standards/specifications/etc. mean.

  18. Tip on Downloadable Origami Motorcycles · · Score: 1

    Get some high quality, high weight paper, I attempted making one of these bikes during the summer an normal weigh paper just wasn't good enough for some of the required folding. I think the PDF's say what weight paper works best.

  19. Re:I'm conflicted again on Fighting Cancer With The Common Cold? · · Score: 1

    Then get sued for IP infringement.

  20. See... on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 1

    Told you I was hardcore.

  21. Re:Xbox? on A Hackable Media Player For HDTV · · Score: 1

    Not to mention being able to play mpeg satellite streams, while not at HD resolutions yet it's still very cool. xboxmediaplayer.de

  22. A bogus mathematical theorem that's helped me... on Finding the Perfect Family Game · · Score: 1

    The Property of Ones:
    The ONEitude is directly proportional to the Colditude of the ONE.

    Seems to make anything family more tolerable.

  23. Re:Wolf's Rain, Robin, and Others on Cartoon Network Serves Up More Anime · · Score: 1

    Wolf's Rain had some production problems to say the least. The music kicks ass though, Yoko Kano rules!

  24. Re:Little bit o' the inside scoop on Cartoon Network Serves Up More Anime · · Score: 1

    And by original you mean manga.

  25. Re:Little bit o' the inside scoop on Cartoon Network Serves Up More Anime · · Score: 1

    Last Exile is such a good show, the end is somewhat lackluster however. The show does have alot of sweet action and the style is great, some of the best CG integration I've seen.
