  1. Re:Somebody needs to mention Thumbwars on 2005 Star Wars Fan Film Entries Online · · Score: 1

    What that movie really is is just disturbing.

    *shudder*

  2. Re:SWG on SWG Combat Upgrade Final Details · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I was under the assumption the point of it was to make money. *shrug*

  3. SWG on SWG Combat Upgrade Final Details · · Score: 1

    SWG needs to do anything it can to come back to life and be a viable option for those who aren't SW nuts.

  4. Orwellian on Why One Man Got a Guerrilla RFID Implant · · Score: 2

    "Given the choice of Orwellian societies,..."

    Personally, I think I'd rather be part of the contingent that storms congress with an AK-47s then let it come to chips implanted in people's hands. Don't forget the 4th box of liberty. This guy is fubared. What's his statement? I'm gonna bend over now just in case my cellmate is gay?

  5. however on Gamer Slain Over Virtual Property Dispute · · Score: 5, Funny

    The body was easy to find, as the title 'Zhu Caoyuan's Corpse' mysteriously floated over the dumpster he had been dumped in.

  6. Re:Murder isn't about morals on Senator Clinton Slams GTA · · Score: 1

    aye. Do violent video games cause people to be violent, or are violent people likely to enjoy violent video games?

    Correlation != Causation.

    (Note this does not imply that people who play GTA are violent, but that I can imagine most really violent people enjoying it. (Though maybe better they get their kicks that way.))

  7. Re:You get sued by Marvel. on e-Scrabble gets Cease and Desist Order from Hasbro · · Score: 1

    In CoH built and played a character based on Bubblegum Tate, the famous and highly intelligent Harlem Globetrotter.

    Can he sue me then?

    On a serious note, I don't like the idea that the potential for copying implies copying. Or is this piece of paper I'm holding illegal because I could possibly write something that is copyrighted.

  8. See ID on Credit card signatures: Useless? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The safest thing to write is 'See ID'.

    Well, it's safe because it forces them to check the ID of the card's user, and it's funny because you can really tell if they care or not, since maybe people check it 1/10 of the time.

    Of course, someone could still buy gas, order online/over phone with it., etc.

  9. Re:Hormonal on Students Do Better Without Computers · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that schools are basically just babysitters, because heaven forbid a child study something in depth before he's 18!!

  10. Re:Assholes on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sheesh, what a stupid bitch.

    Oh wait, now she's likes me...

  11. Re:All your base are belong to us? on Saturn's Moon Enceladus Has an Atmosphere · · Score: 1

    Enceladus is far to remote for an effective military demonstration.

    You may fire when ready.

  12. well on Stars Have a Weight Limit · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wouldn't any accumulation of mass about that size that's not a star be a black hole?

    And the larger the star the shorter it's life span, so if a star gathers too much mass in it's forming stages will it just become a black hole beforehand or lose weight and then begins it's short life span normally?

  13. The fight for freedom is important... on Rage of the Wookiees! · · Score: 2, Funny

    But I think the larger quest will be answering the question of 'What do you get a wookie for christmas?' (Especially if one said wookiee has a comb already in his possesion!)

  14. Re:seriously on Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I agree. Stop powergaming your career. Study what you like, and let opportunities come to you. If you're serious and professional minded, someone will find you whatever path you choose, and if you want the highest salary, then you won't be happy regardless.

  15. oblig fight club. on Violence in Videogames with VG Cats · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'd be very careful who I talked to about this. It sounds like someone dangerous wrote it... someone who might snap at any moment, stalking from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 Carbine-gas semiautomatic, bitterly pumping round after round into colleagues and co- workers.
    Might be someone you've known for years... somebody very close to you. Or, maybe you shouldn't be bringing me every little piece of trash you pick up.

  16. WARNING on True.com Wants Warnings On Personal Ads · · Score: 0, Redundant

    WE HAVE NOT CHECKED IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS COOL OR NOT, DATE AT OWN RISK.

  17. Re:Unfortunately, John WAS allowed to travel w/o I on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 1

    It's not unprecedented.

    Aye, but it's still wrong.

  18. and on More Details on GameCube MMORPG · · Score: 1, Funny

    Holding hands with a wheat thresher will give you the power to... aauahauahahaghghg...

  19. Re:Only the incredibly naive... on Can Terrorists Build a Nuclear Bomb? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Underestimating an enemy is guaranteed downfall.

    Not understanding why one is your enemy is even worse.

  20. Re:Serial burglar at 19... on Serial Burglar Caught on Webcam · · Score: 1

    I wonder if someone actually cared about his well being if he'd recove... oops, sorry, hang the bastard!

  21. Oblig. Futurama ref. and more. on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 2, Funny

    Robot Devil: Mwhahaha! 1/4 of my ridiculously circuitous plan is complete!

    People are responsible for their own actions. You can't set a precedent stating that violence can't be shown in any form to the American public because it's unconstitional, fascist, and ridiculous considering how many millions have watched grand theft auto and not replicated it.

  22. good and bad on Square-Enix Bans Over 800 FFXI Accounts · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's nice to see a MMO company actually fight back.

    Of course, FFXI is very well designed for this sort of behavior in the first place.

  23. Re:Americans are different on NASA Says 2005 Could Be Warmest Year Recorded · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While I'm a heavy liberal and highly educated, I somewhat agree with the right to carry guns, at least on principle. Maybe this is what you're talking about, but ever since the French stormed the Bastille for weapons and took hold, the tradition of 'arm the masses' has been around, and protecting arms from the British troops was a major role in the Revolutionary War.

    Of course, I think that owning anything more damaging than a pistol or shotgun is too much, but our nation was founded on the blood of tyrants, and Americans on both sides have a general distrust of the government. (Note the popularity of the X-Files) So the issue is the principle that the people will always be able to put up a fight, and not be pushed around by our our any other government.

    This American insecurity strongly resonates with the way we do things. It's unfortunate, but America is still somewhat isolated from the rest of the world, and fear is a natural reaction.

    Even though I love America, I can see that this fear generally brings suffering to others, but its' so pervasive in our culture, and so reinforced by those in power, that I imagine only horrible events could change our demeanor.

  24. Re:Damn! on Personal Spaceflight Leaders Form New Federation · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, if they did that it'd warp the project into a joke.

  25. Let me be the first to say on Family Guy Video Game in the Works · · Score: 4, Funny

    This game is freakin' sweeeet!
