  1. Re:Good Luck on Virtua Fighter Cyber Generation Revealed · · Score: 1

    It might be cool to have a fighting game where the story mode was a full-on RPG: beat up on weaklings to build up your stats, eventually learning special moves. But the number of special moves in a fighting game is probably a lot less than the number of, say spells or abilities that a character might be able to earn in a typical RPG game. The concept of this RPG sounds interesting too.

  2. WC Unplugged on WarCraft Board Game Compared, Rated · · Score: 1

    With their country's high-tech infrastructure not as developed as their southern brothers', this must be the version that North Koreans play. I bet they still rule at it!

  3. heckle Blaine on What Could You Do With 120 Laser Pointers? · · Score: 1

    Find out David Blaine's next gig, and fire away.

  4. Re:the perfect gift for an IT worker on Scientific American's Sci/Tech Gifts for 2003 · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what you're responding to, but if you said culture instead of economy, you'd be more better.

  5. Re:TV Station on Public BSOD Sightings? · · Score: 1

    On one of my cable system's community bulletin board channels, I didn't see the BSOD, but a few times I see it showing a Windows desktop, as if the program that runs the announcements quit somehow and no one noticed.

  6. Pottery Barn on Public BSOD Sightings? · · Score: 1

    I saw one of those at Pottery Barn, on their registry computers, which is like your Amazon wishlist, but just for sheets and pillows, stuff that your woman is into.

  7. I can see it now... on Is Space Mining Feasible? · · Score: 1

    David E. Kelley's next show... Martial Law, about the first lawyer on Mars, who happens to be an attractive woman with a penchant for wearing revealing space suits, and her wisecracking paralegal.

  8. what might it look like? on What Might UserLinux Look Like? · · Score: 1

    probably like Windows... just make it work better, you know, less crashy, less DRMy, less virusy.

  9. Re:Government control = bad on Minnesota Senator Says Email Tax Might Reduce Spam · · Score: 1

    how bout if the tax proceeds go to the person that receives the email? I think people will go for that.

  10. not insightful on South Korea Plans National 100 Mbps Network · · Score: 1

    That country is pretty well developed. I mean, look at how good they are at Starcraft! And when we finally meet those hostile aliens, they'll probably be in charge of Earth's future robotic army. Don't worry, they'll 0wnz the aliens too.

  11. Re:Perverted (yet serious) observation on Square Enix Officially Unveils Final Fantasy XII · · Score: 1

    Maybe plastic surgery is one of the character skills in the game.

  12. Staunch, stanch on Mail Server Flaw Opens MS Exchange to Spam · · Score: 1

    I was gonna say something, but what do you know, technically both are correct here.

  13. Headline writing on Study Shows Word Of Mouth Makes, Breaks Videogames · · Score: 1

    "makes or breaks" probably is too strong, but "Word of mouth has some impact on videogames" doesn't really grab you, does it?

  14. Re:because the Games Press are biased. on Study Shows Word Of Mouth Makes, Breaks Videogames · · Score: 1

    I know, PBS/NPR needs to start reviewing games!

  15. Re:People didn't understand R2. on Whistle While You Work · · Score: 1

    Luke understanding R2D2 must be like how Timmy could understand Lassie. So, maybe those droids actually had dog brains implanted in them. I mean wouldn't a dog be a good model for a general purpose robot? Other animals would spend too much time sleeping or throwing feces.

  16. Football on Kasparov Wins Game 3 Against X3D Fritz · · Score: 1

    I bet I could beat that chess computer at Madden! Ever since that first Sega game I could always kill the computer, even with the worst team!!!

  17. Re:That's all well and good... on Trash is Private Property in New Hampshire · · Score: 1
    The decision came in a marijuana possession case in which police searched an Enfield man's trash twice and found wire scrapers coated with marijuana residue.

    People aren't throwing out significant amounts of illegal substances, but they do throw out paraphernalia, and items with drug residue on them.
  18. Re:PC? PC? PC? on Soul Calibur II Sparks Subdued Joy · · Score: 1

    I think its just that arcade fighters don't sell as well on PCs compared to other types of games. Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Primal Rage, Virtua Fighter, they all came out for the PC, but I'm sure their sales numbers were nothing compared to how those games did on consoles, or to how FPS or RTS games did on PCs. There is no controller issue, its more what PC gamers buy.

  19. Re:Korea Gets All The Fun Toys... on Yahoo Experimenting with Blogs? · · Score: 1

    Check the url - I could say something about your engrish too, but yahooo.com does redirect to yahoo...

  20. AOL Journals = AOL Blogs on Yahoo Experimenting with Blogs? · · Score: 1

    AOL Journals is either in beta or already launched. And you can post by AIM.

  21. Re:IM Blogs on Yahoo Experimenting with Blogs? · · Score: 1

    Motime is a blog platform that tries to integrate IM'ing with blogging. It actually uses Jabber technology and gives you a web Jabber client (in Java I guess). I've also heard of AIM bots out there that can post to a blog, or keep you notified of when blogs update

  22. Re:6 billion people on China Proposes Rival Video Format · · Score: 1

    Here's a story about "mobile film crews" in Vietnam. They go to poor, remote villages and show movies to communities that otherwise wouldn't get to see movies or television. In areas that don't have electricity, they use generators.

    Smart move dude, I saw "TheMidget" was on the FBI's most wanted list at the post office today.

  24. Re:6 billion people on China Proposes Rival Video Format · · Score: 1

    Individually, they may not be able to afford a DVD or VCR player, but groups of them might be able to buy one for, say, community movie nights. It may violate the typical DVD/VCR license, but which make more sense, to prohibit allowing a community viewing, or selling more units?

    Twins? Dude, break out the Multi-Tap and go for the three-way.
