  1. two links on America's First Video Game Museum Is Trying To Level Up · · Score: 1

    The two links that apply in your situation are:
    http://gamecity.org/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  2. No. I did not ever dreamed. on America's First Video Game Museum Is Trying To Level Up · · Score: 3, Insightful

    >> Did you ever dreamed of a Museum where you can take your kid and show him/her what you used to play when young?

    No, I have YouTube, emulators and in some cases, the actual consoles and games I used to play.

  3. Re:Margin of victory on Interviews: Ask John McAfee About His Presidential Run · · Score: 2

    >> some dead guy from Detroit

    Not true. The dead are a reliable Democrat bloc.

  4. Re:One World on Interviews: Ask John McAfee About His Presidential Run · · Score: 1

    Follow-up: how DID you make it to DEFCON this year after getting picked up for DIU and weapons charges?
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...

    >> how would you advance world cooperation and work to change world views of the USA to just another location in the world full of mostly average non-privileged individuals living out their lives?
    And for the last poster: why should this be a priority? Is this a question about reducing the size of the terrorist bulls-eye on us or what?

  5. Why do you live in west Tennessee? on Interviews: Ask John McAfee About His Presidential Run · · Score: 1

    Why do you live in west Tennessee?

  6. When you didn't ask to install it. on When Does Software Start Becoming Malware? · · Score: 5, Informative

    >> When Does Software Start Becoming Malware?

    When I didn't ask to install it. Toolbars (like this), automatic update services (that are silently added) and anything else that impacts my resources or distributes my information in a way I didn't choose is malware, IMHO.

    Looking at you, Windows 10...

  7. Hugs. on Facebook Is Building an 'Empathy Button' · · Score: 1

    >> Hugs. Aw, what's wrong? Sending prayers!!! Hang in there.

    And...that's why I quit Facebook years ago.

  8. Why start now? on Drone Hobbyists Find Flaws In 'Close Call' Reports · · Score: 2

    >> we should find a better way of classifying X so legislators have accurate information from which to design regulations

    Why start now? Besides, it's not the legislators that get involved in "regulations" these days, instead its often committees full of unelected people working for this or that agency.

  9. 11 years later the die has been cast on Federal Court Invalidates 11-Year-old FBI Gag Order On NSL Recipient · · Score: 4, Interesting

    >> A federal court found there wasn't a "good reason" to keep the man from talking about it ...because 11 years ago there was still a debate raging about "whether" we should be under surveillance at all times, whereas the debate has now shifted to "how" we are under surveillance at all times.

  10. That's a lot of words to say "jack shit" on What Congress' New Email-privacy Bill Means For Your Inbox · · Score: 1

    The article poster used an awful lot of words when "jack shit" would have sufficed.

  11. Whoosh much?

  12. Time to fork Wikipedia on Arrangement With Science Publisher Raises Questions About Wikipedia's Commitment To Open Access · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Time to fork Wikipedia. All we really need is Google to start pointing somewhere else for its #1 topic on (keyword).

  13. intrested, but yoi on GameStart Uses Minecraft to Teach Kids Programming (Video 2) · · Score: 3, Funny

    >> As we said last week, "...intrested, but yoi..."

    Yes, you did. Looks like someone fixed the original but eff'ed up part two of this snoozer.

  14. Can we get a car analogy instead? on Sen. Ron Wyden Says CISA Data Collection Could Put Americans At Risk · · Score: 1

    >> that's like responding to a bear attack by stockpiling honey

    Can we get a car analogy instead? Maybe something with swimming pools for the yokels?

  15. Re:GPS fencing is probably not a bad idea on Only Self-Awareness Can Keep Drones Out of Do Not Fly Zones · · Score: 1

    >> SoCs with GPS

    GPS is so trivial to spoof and forge that it should never be used to implement "no fly" features in drones.

  16. Suck it, "editors." on GameStart Uses Minecraft to Teach Kids Programming (Video 1) · · Score: 2

    >> intrested, but yoi

    Please tell me someone at Dice knows how to use spellcheck.

  17. No. on Can The Martian Give NASA's Mars Efforts a Hollywood Bump? · · Score: 1

    No.

  18. I for one welcome our ankle bracelet masters on Scientists Propose App That Detects Emotions Based On Walking Style · · Score: 3, Funny

    >> movement of the ankle whilst walking

    Great - I can't wait until we're all issued our "optional but wear it if you want a job" ankle bracelets.

  19. Re:That "Made" the Atomic Bomb on The Handheld Analog Computer That Made the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1

    >> Actually it should be neither.

    Well, it DID simulate it. As the community is pointing out, it did its work AFTER the bomb was made, but my correction would make the headline true whether the simulation was before or after.

    Now, as for fixing the submission's harebrained summary, well I'd charge triple for that. :)

  20. That "Made" the Atomic Bomb on The Handheld Analog Computer That Made the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 2

    >> That "Made" the Atomic Bomb

    Should be "that simulated the atomic bomb" instead.

  21. Re:Gaming movies suck. Get over it. on TSR's Lost 1980s Dungeons and Dragons Movie Script, Reviewed · · Score: 1

    >> there were a few ok to good ones. Super Mario Bro's, Wing Commander, Final Fantasy, The Resident Evil series.

    Let me know what drugs you were on when you saw those. There'd be a hell of a market for those kind of uppers.

  22. Re:All I want for Christmas on Chinese Tech Companies Hire 'Cheerleaders' To Motivate Programmers · · Score: 1

    >> I'm surprised we haven't seen this in America yet.

    Why do you think your marketing department is the size it is? Not everyone there is "customer facing" ...

  23. Congrats - you've invented the Sony Vaio! on Xerox PARC Creates Self-Destructing Chip · · Score: 2

    >> The chip could self-destruct on command

    Congratulations! You've invented the Sony Vaio!

  24. Gaming movies suck. Get over it. on TSR's Lost 1980s Dungeons and Dragons Movie Script, Reviewed · · Score: 2

    >> How can you translate the interactive experience of X into a compelling movie?

    You can't. Quit trying. See "Mortal Kombat", "Street Fighter", "D&D", "In the Name of the King" (Dungeon Siege) and the upcoming turd of a Warcraft movie for examples.
