  1. Welcome on Smart Cameras Detect Crime, Erode Privacy · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the new Precrime devision of the police department where we never, never make a mistake. You'll all be safer. Just trust us.
    Damn, I hate when fiction becomes reality -- especially when written by PKD.

  2. Here's hoping on How to Hack the Vote and Steal the Election · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The best thing that can possibly happen for this country and secure elections would be for Buggs Bunny to win 100% of the vote in at least one, preferably multiple districts. Until people see these results come in on election night, they'll never believe that it can really happen.

  3. big deal on Sys-Admins Reading the Bosses Mail? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've got read access to the entire financial database. I can find out how much they spent for dinner on their last trip and their salary as well. Luckily for them, I just don't care.

  4. Must be nice... on Quebec Bans Electronic Voting · · Score: 2

    ... to live in a place where the government cares about fair elections. I'm hoping that my district advances to the point where everyone who votes gets a blue finger.

  5. Re:Easy one. on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    I'm right there with you. Beautiful country, tropical weather -- and English is the official language!
    The main issue is that you can't get a job there unless you're a citizen and you can't become a citizen unless you live there for seven years. There are loop-holes, but you have to find them.
    They're happy for foreigners to go there and spend money. Not so happy for foreigners to come take jobs.

  6. sloppy programmers on Games Already Filling Blu-Ray Discs · · Score: 1

    Virtually unlimited storage has only made programmers more lazy. It has done nothing to make better games. One of my all-time favorite RTS games (Serf City/The Settlers) came on a single floppy disk.
    More stuff != better game

  7. Re:Its the untapped market on Nintendo DS Sales Driving Games Industry Growth · · Score: 1

    Actually, my sister-in-law and her husband have been sharing time with their daughter on her DS Lite. Each member of the family has their own profile on Brain Age and Big Brain Academy. There is no doubt that they wouldn't play any games if their kid didn't have a DS. As a result, I'm guessing that the number of DSs in their household will be growing over the holidays.

  8. How much??? on Howard Stern Coming To the Net · · Score: 1

    They're joking, right?
    I actually pay for one internet radio service that has thousands of stations w/out commercials. Even if one gets redundant, I can probably find a dozen others that play a similar format -- plus formats that aren't even on Serius. It costs me around 1/3 of what Serius wants to charge.
    Now add in all the free audio on Shoutcast, all the broadcast stations that stream over the internet and the free XM stations that are available on Winamp and I think Serius is fooling themselves.
    Of course, there are probably enough idiots out there who will think it is a good deal that they'll see a profit -- especially since there's basically no additional cost for them.

  9. Re:Not really surprised on Wii Hardware To Be Profitable At Launch · · Score: 2

    Yeah... $60 for the full second controller hurts. Probably still won't stop me from getting one since it is necessary to play the Boxing game in Wii-Sports.
    Wii + second remote + Zelda = $360 for unit and two games
    PS3 = $600 with one controller and 0 games.
    Math still works out for me. :)

  10. Strange concept on Wii Hardware To Be Profitable At Launch · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is something new. Imagine a company making money by selling a product they manufacture. Bizarre. Wonder if this radical concept will ever catch on. It is truly shocking.

  11. Re:They are giving us the old punch out on Possible Virtual Console Titles for Wii Launch · · Score: 1

    A true Wii port for Punch Out would be great. How much more fun would a boxing game be with the wiimote/nunchuck attachment? They've got to be working on this.

  12. evolve or die? on Thursday at the Austin Game Conference · · Score: 1

    Maybe he should look at SW:G for a moment. That would be a fine example of "evolve and die". Evolution for the no other reason than to do something different != good.

  13. again? on PS3 Performance Downgraded Again · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is it possible that a single day pass without more bad news for Sony? Looks like it is about time to short-sell their stock.

  14. Re:WPA Support on DS Has 2 Million Wi-Fi Users Play 70 Million Times · · Score: 1

    Spring $30 for the USB wireless adapter for your computer?

  15. Re:Acronyms on The Tale of Wal-Mart, Jack, and Bully · · Score: 1

    Rating Pending, I believe. Just a guess and I could be wrong.

  16. no effect on The Tale of Wal-Mart, Jack, and Bully · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I really couldn't care less what Wal-Mart does or does not sell. I refuse to shop there for anything anyway.

  17. Re:One Word... on Can Games Make You Cry? · · Score: 1

    dead on. Wish I had mod points for you.

  18. Another one? on Interview with SWG Producer Grant McDaniel · · Score: 1

    Is there any point to posting more SWG stories? All that happens is that it gives everyone a chance to kick the SWG corpse around some more. For those of us who used to play, it just serves as a reminder as to why we left. "Why don't you just give me a nice paper-cut and pour lemon juice on it!"

  19. Re:they could upload there whole culture on 2.5Gb/s Internet For French Homes · · Score: 1
    s/there/their

    Would have been funnier if you didn't parade your ignorance of the English language while trying to sound condescending.

  20. Re:Prediction on CEO Shawn Hogan Takes on MPAA · · Score: 1

    Wonder if he's pissed enough to counter if they drop their suit. I hope so!

  21. hmm... on MySpace Down Due To Power Surge · · Score: 1

    I wonder what is going to be the #1 topic posted on mySpace blogs once it comes back up....

  22. How not to market an MMO: on Sony Online Licenses Unreal Engine for DC MMOG · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Put the word "Sony" on the front of the box.

    Seriously, they've done such a bad job with their MMOs that they should seriously think about changing their name. The only way they could sell fewer games would be to sell them with free anthrax.

  23. How about... on The 50 Worst Videogame Names of All Time · · Score: -1, Redundant

    E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial?

  24. Here's a general email address on Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena · · Score: 1

    info@hasbrouck-heights.nj.us
    This was taken from the town's web site. I'll be dropping them a line now.

  25. Re:Send your thanks to... on Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena · · Score: 1

    I had already looked up her address and sent her support before I got to this note. Glad that you posted the address.
    Think we can /. their mail server with support? >:)
