  1. What's the purpose? on Overclocking Your Sega Genesis/MegaDrive · · Score: 1

    As cool as overclocking genesis may seem, this is a decade late.

    Now... if you can overclock today's PC to twice the ghz with no special hardware... then you're talking.

  2. This is tricky on An Anti-DoS Tool That Returns Fire · · Score: 1

    What if the hacker spoofed some grandma's IP and used that to attack me? Then I automatically go on offense against grandma's PC.

    The possibilities are endless.

  3. Nintendo is afraid to use numbers on Nintendo DS Actually Nintendo Nitro? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nintendo technically should call it Gameboy 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. But they don't simply because they know there are too many damn versions out there. Even Gameboy alone has a bent screen version.

    Gameboy
    Gameboy color
    Gameboy Advanced
    Gameboy DS

  4. This is M$ BS on Only Xbox Port of Doom 3 Will Have Co-operative Play · · Score: 1

    People are extremely naive to think coop was exclusive to xbox. It's just another attempt to convince M$ fanboys to buy an Xbox.

    Can someone say "Marketing". Unless I had 20 different websites saying the same thing a month before release, it's complete BS.

    Mod me down, you know I am right.

  5. Cheaters are not that bad on Killing The Fun - Cheating In Online Games · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Cheaters are bad. But they are NOTHING compared to TKs.

    At least cheaters you kick and they go cheat somewhere else. TKs keep coming back cause they enjoy it too damn much. Not to mention TKs have a sad history of coming back with different name.

    At least cheaters are wanted by one team. TKs are hated by everybody. The team that win gets an unsatisfying victory. The team that lose gets abused.

  6. Invading SSL can't be good on Phishing Scams Incorporate SSL Certificates · · Score: 1

    This was the last safe territory for me. When I punch info into a https site, I get a sense that it's alot safer.

    How the hell I use online banking and do any heavy shopping via https again?!

  7. Foreign Channels on Echostar/Dish Network Pulls Viacom Channels · · Score: 1

    Seriously of every person I know who dish network they watch it because of foreign channels. Which far outweights MTV and comedy central to them.

  8. Console players may get destroyed on Only Xbox Port of Doom 3 Will Have Co-operative Play · · Score: 1

    If console and PC doom players share the same server, the PC players with mouse will just be absolutely SUPERIOR.

    - There is no way in hell every xbox owner will buy a mouse for one game.

    - There is no way in hell a console controller will give you better aim than a mouse. Especially not that made-for-giant xbox controller.

  9. No Doubt on Can Software Kill? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No doubt software can kill people. That's why the military, airports and train stations don't use windows.

  10. Forget iPod now on Pocket PCs Masquerade as iPods · · Score: 1

    Why get an iPod that can only play mp3s when I can invest in a Pocket PC to do more?

    I am sold. Guess Mac is going downhill... again.

  11. Xbox in theory can never win on Playstation 3 Already Won the Next Gen Battle? · · Score: 1

    Japanese gamers are loyal to Japanese consoles. They will never support the Xbox unless it is exceedingly better by many miles. Americans can do their part by not buying PS2 and only buying Xbox in support of M$... but that's just a sick thing to do.

    Unless a console can capture the Japanese market, there is no way in hell it'll be competitive with PS2/PS3/PS4.

  12. M$ hides other half of knowledge on Implementing CIFS · · Score: 3, Funny

    As good as Samba is... you know M$ is always hiding something about their network neighborhood protocol. It wouldn't surprise me if the code reads "If Samba wait 5 minutes"

  13. So by 2010? on Half-Life 2D Creators Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Sorry but when I think of HL2 or Doom III anything... the only word that comes to mind is DELAY.

  14. It's called a console on A Motherboard That Doesn't Require An OS · · Score: 2, Informative

    PS2, xbox, GC can all run software straight out of medias. This isn't that far fetched.

  15. As soon as you mention SCO on RMS & FSF Directors To Meet With FSF Members · · Score: 3, Funny

    We know the following:

    1.) The meeting will not be for real
    2.) If it was for real, it will have 90 percent lawyers
    3.) All members attending will be automatically sued by SCO after the meeting

  16. Saw it on comedy central on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    I saw this message scroll by when I was watching some MadTV rerun on comedy central, and I seriously thought it was a joke.

    LOL, my friends and I even thought that was a clever spoof.

  17. Hmm.... BFG on Zelda Master Sword Forged For Fan · · Score: 2, Funny

    The weapon that all kids want is the BFG from Doom.

    Nothing better than shooting a green pulse at the wall and wipe out your entire town.

  18. Bookmark Story on Five Free Calculus Textbooks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The college bookstore near me used to give out free bookmarks for every book they sold.

    They later stopped the trend because students complained about how on average you read 10 pages out of every book you purchased for each class.

    The bookstore figured if people are just buying the books cause the professor said so... and the students never intend on really reading it. They mind as well maximize profit by a few cents.

  19. Windoes media player is not bad on Windows Could Lose Media Player in Europe? · · Score: 1

    Windows media player is a pretty good product with the exception of codecs downloading problem.

    If someone can think of a product that can change software contrast, brightness and play many mpegs in a movie list, let me know. From the feature standpoint, I have yet to find a better alternative?

  20. Most offensive game is Mario on A History of Video Game Controversy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ok, I don't believe to this date no parent has ever complained about super mario brothers games. Gran Theft Auto is not even in the same league.

    You got Mario and his brother Luigi jumping on clouds and mushrooms. Mushrooms the size of the screen. What's worse is Toad. A character that consumed so much XXXX, he's a mushroom himself. Come on people.

  21. Coffee is boring on Coffee is a "Health Drink" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it me or is coffee becoming more and more boring? Even starbucks can't turn me into a coffee drinker again.

  22. It's a lesson on Chernobyl...18 Years Later · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The disaster was a damn good example of bad mix of technology, science and politics. Boy, don't we have plenty of that in the U.S.

  23. This is a double edge sword on Nintendo DS to Play Movies? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sony can release PSP for $399 or something ridiculous. If this DS handheld is a true competitor, then Sony will likely lower the prices to compete. PSP being cheaper = larger audience.

    On the other hand Nintendo not releasing DS will force Sony to keep the price at $399. Sony might end up shooting themselves in the foot.

  24. The Conspiracy Part on Xbox 2 Storage Supplier Says No Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    The main reason why M$ fear the hard drive is the compatibility with PC. They don't want some techie to put something on a disk while it is in the PC, then transfer it over to the Xbox. Last thing M$ wants to hear is an unstable console.

  25. Ah ha ha on Microsoft Gadget Keeps Record of Your Life · · Score: 1

    They are going to have to keep track of how many times I reboot windows in a life time. Not sure the product has a big enough database.
