  1. Re:Previews: the reality on Game Previews Just Game Marketing? · · Score: 1
    ...and they published my letter -- and made fun of me, comparing me to a fictional character on a TV show.

    Was it Comic Book Guy?

  2. Re:Let's be fair! on Microsoft Sued Over Alleged Xbox 360 Defects · · Score: 1

    The controllers tended to wear out fast, especially with button mashing intensive games like the Mario Parties and Smash Brothers. The b button would get deflated and the yellow joystick would stop working after a while.

  3. Re:Not My Space on The MySpace Generation · · Score: 1
    I use MySpace regularly, mostly to meet chicks in my area (and it doesn't work all that well, but it's free)

    Speak for yourself. I don't use it to meet girls, but it is a welcome side effect. It's a more casual atmosphere than typical dating sites, and allows you to create degrees of separation between people in an easier fashion, then well just about anything really. So you find you have mutual friends and the like or went to the same school or whatever.

  4. Re:The Minutes Of The Meeting on US Keeps Control of the Internet · · Score: 1

    Just out of curiosity, what program did you use to get that screenshot? I've been trying to get a screen shot of a frame from another simpsons episode and can't find anything on google. Thanks in advance.

  5. Re:My karma can stand it on Homer Becomes Omar · · Score: 1
    Homer's patented Moon Waffles.

    Actually I don't believe the moon waffles involved bacon. The ingredients were waffle batter, bag of caramels, and some liquid smoke. All wrapped around a stick of butter with a little toothpick to keep it all together.

  6. Three Words... on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Star Wars kid...

  7. There are two types of people I can't stand... on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 2

    People who are intolerant of other people's culture.... and the Dutch!

  8. Re:Is it an eeevil slogan? on Bill Gates Speaks Out · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Google is no more an innovator that Microsoft is. It just got lucky, latched on to an existing idea and managed through some good marketing techniques to drive it to the front of the pack.

    I have to disagree with you here. Google was driven to the front of the pack through word of mouth. It was/is a damn fine search engine. How many Google commercials, advertisements do you see? Advertising for gmail for instance was done purely by word of mouth by allowing it through invites only.

  9. Ob. eDork Aqua Teen reference. on New Twist on Power Walking · · Score: 1

    Meh, it's been done.

  10. Hey we have those here in the states too! on Digital Cameras Force Film Off Dixons' Shelves · · Score: 1

    They're called Best Buy, Fry's, and Comp USA!

  11. Not to mention the polls... on Xbox 360 for $300 · · Score: 1

    How come they're all locked up all of a sudden?

  12. Re:Why haven't I heard of the 5th most popular sit on Fox to Purchase Myspace · · Score: 1

    Because you're not hip and "with it".

  13. Re:Utter and total bullshit on Censored Nagasaki Bomb Story Found · · Score: 1
    It was dropped for other reasons.

    Such as? I don't suppose you can offer a credible source.

    It was done to intimidate the Russians, who were already starting to renege on their pledges to pull out of areas of Eastern Europe(such as Poland) that they liberated from the Nazis, and were already being seen as a threat.

  14. Re:But how? on Survey Reveals Americans Support Blog Censorship · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Bad comparison. As in a public record style disclosure of information, your records are lost in a sea of anonymity when thrown in with everyone elses info. When it's on display on a bloggers site, it's more than likely outing you specifically. John so and so is an adulter, blah blah blah, here is is home address:

  15. Re:Bullshit. on China PM Wants to Rule Global Tech With India · · Score: 1
    I don't look at construction workers and think they're not working hard, when it's 100 degrees out and they're building a house. Or when it's ten below and they're replacing a burst pipe in the road. Or when one of the guys here has to pull an all-nighter to fix the SAN. Or when the Janitors have to clean the windows. Or when the accountants have 10 boxes of papers to process.

    Heh, ironic that the majority of those hard workers you described are generally migrant workers.

  16. Re:Malware on Games That Shoot Back · · Score: 1

    I imagine the machine won't be capable of outputting a shock capable of killing someone.

  17. Ob. Simpsons on Miguel de Icaza Explains How To "Get" Mono · · Score: 1
    True or False?

    You can get mono from the monorail.

  18. Re:Steve Jobs on Inside Look at Pixar HQ · · Score: 1
    Apple T-shirts: working 90 hours a week and loving it!

    And I'm not even getting paid!

  19. Missing the point on Ask mc chris · · Score: 1

    I think his "rapping" is meant to be more humorous, and a kind of satirical lampooning of rappers as a whole. I would toss him in the same category as They Might be Giants, or maybe even a Weird Al. The fact that he obviously isn't the most talented "artist" out there is what makes him great and his work funny as hell.

  20. Re:Yay Government Waste... on Oakland County to go Wireless · · Score: 1

    Man you people are dense. I'll make sure to add a /sarcasm or /humor disclaimer next time.

  21. Re:Yay Government Waste... on Oakland County to go Wireless · · Score: 0

    Since when has Oakland ever been a fiscally responsible entity? Remember this is the city that spent millions of dollars to bring over the Raiders, yet never seems to have enough cash for education.

  22. Don't forget on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 1

    Vandalizing and defacing cars.

  23. Simpsons on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1

    'Eat up Martha', maybe?

  24. Mary Shelley on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 1
    I think any time we venture into the unknown such as chimeras, human clones, etc. The people who are the most ardent in jumping up and down, saying we should do this like the granparent poster, should be forced to sit down and read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. If you've read the book, you'd realize what a horrid tortured existence the creature had to live.

    It is simply not ethical to push the boundaries without first pondering the implications. Granted this kind of research is still nowhere near creating a half man/half cheetah hybrid, and that scenario is still a ways off. We should definitely proceed with caution.

  25. Non Red Giants on Three Largest Stars Identified · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It would be interesting to find the largest non-red giant stars. As once our own sun turns into a red giant, it's radius is supposed to extend out past Jupiter as well.
