  1. Re:Next-Generation Gameplay on The Public's First Look at Wii · · Score: 1

    Ooh, imagine Punch Out with a controller in each hand. :)

  2. Re:I'll believe it on Debian Etch to be Released in December · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the odds are on Etch coming out before Vista?

  3. Re:Still kicking in Australia on Dot-com Boom's Biggest Duds, From Flooz to iSmell · · Score: 1

    Damn right. When I lived in Melbourne, my wife and I always did our weekly/fortnightly shop via coles-online. We didn't have a car at the time, and the additional $5 was way cheaper than getting a taxi home.

    Plus, going to supermarkets makes my blood boil, so I would've paid whatever they asked to avoid it.

  4. Re:It could have been worse.. on Both Sides of Wii · · Score: 1

    I can imagine the titles:

    Mariokart Shitcock
    Zelda Shitcock
    Metroid Prime Shitcock ...

    I'd still buy it though. :(

    Imagine the portable "Shitcock Pocket". That sounds messy.

  5. Re:They think they are being clever on Planning Dapper +1, The Edgy Eft · · Score: 1
    Personally I think that Ogg Vorbis sounds far cooler than MP3.

    Interestingly, Ogg and Vorbis are both surnames of Discworld characters. (Nanny Ogg, and High Priest Vorbis.) I don't know if it's intentional or a coincidence, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

  6. Re:Behind The Curve on Ballmer Babies Banned From iPods and Google · · Score: 1

    If you consider the entire lifespan of the Universe then, relatively speaking, the Sun is "about to" explode.

  7. Re:I could never work at Lucasfilm on The New Force at Lucasfilm · · Score: 1

    You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done. Now come on, get to it.

  8. Re:Hmm... on The New Force at Lucasfilm · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Lucas is like that kid you knew at college, who had all the best guitars, amps, effects pedals, and recording and mixing equipment, but was still having trouble stringing three chords together.

    Still, he's earning more in a second than I do in a month, so he must be doing something right.

  9. Re:The real reason -- on Windows Vista Delayed Again · · Score: 1

    The AmigaOS 4.0 version of Duke Nukem Forever will be out before Vista at this rate.

  10. Re:When can we travel there? on New Large Rocky Planet Found · · Score: 1

    ...And they'll find the cure for death five minutes after your cremation. :)

  11. Re:Ok Where are the E.T.s on New Large Rocky Planet Found · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself! I'm fucking fantastic.

  12. Re:Choc-a-lates on What is UNIX, Anyway? · · Score: 1

    Or...

    "UNIX is like a box of chocolates. You pick one that looks nice, and it turns out to be really hard."

  13. Re:Effing Vista on No EFI Support for Vista · · Score: 1
    the chair of Microsoft will be held on a rotating basis by the chairs of the major Hollywood studios

    At the moment, the chair of Microsoft is held by Steve Ballm...Oh wait, he's thrown it.

  14. Re:New Taxonomy on New "Hairy Lobster" Crustacean Discovered and Classified · · Score: 1
    How else will it get to the table to check it's yummy-ness?

    No, no, no. The check comes after the yummy-ness!

  15. Re:Real bosses on Know Thy Bosses · · Score: 1

    "Leverage this paradigm, motherfucker!" *BLAM*

  16. Re:Not surprising - the games are coming up! on Graffiti Game Banned in Australia · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I lived in Melbourne for nearly five years, and I used to really enjoy looking at the graffiti whilst on boring train journeys. I'd MUCH rather look at the graffiti - some of which is absolutely amazing - than a plain, blank grey wall for an hour, but that's just me I suppose.

    It would be a much better use of time if they could stop the trains on the Frankston line smelling like stale piss.

  17. Re:Missing Option on 10 Best S/F Films That Never Existed · · Score: 2, Insightful
    - Han Solo steps on Jabba's tail without getting killed.

    Yes. That's the point when I got the first sensations that something, somewhere was horribly, horribly wrong.

    (I don't actually dislike the new Star Wars stuff. I just now see them as entertaining movies, rather than the magical land of wonder and arse-whoopery that it used to be. The prequels are like finding out that Santa doesn't really exist. You knew all along, but there it is in black and white.)

  18. Holy Crap on Robot Piloted by a Slime Mold · · Score: 1, Funny

    Errr, I work at the University of Southampton. I just came into my office and read this while having my morning wake-me-up coffee.

    Should I be shitting myself right about now?

  19. As always... on Duke Nukem Forever Tops Vaporware List · · Score: 1

    My top vapourware vote goes to Elite IV. I doubt that it will ever see the light of day, despite how many rumours and articles I read about it.

  20. Re:I wish I could... on AOL to Charge Senders for Incoming Email · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Then stuff them in one of those prepaid business reply envelopes that you get from credit card companies, and then post that.

    Maybe they'll both learn then!

  21. Re:Live at school on 7 Myths About The Challenger Disaster · · Score: 1, Funny

    Oh god:

    Q: What were the last words said on Challenger's black-box recorder?
    A: "Oh, go on, let her have a drive!"

  22. Re:oh great on Rocket Science on Two Wheels · · Score: 1
    Now they'll be doing it at 60mph!

    ...but hopefully straight up in the air, like Wile E. Coyote.

  23. Re:The real question is... on Standby Electronics a Waste? · · Score: 0

    Don't worry too much. I doubt their dole money could cover the airfare. :)

    But if they stopped wasting electricity...

  24. Re:Crap... Wildcards are a problem, too... on Gmail Mis.delivered? · · Score: 1

    I always wished that *@*.* would work. :(

  25. Re:Triple? on First Impressions Count in Website Design · · Score: 1

    Three articles for the price of one. You can't beat that value!
