    Choose your fate and pay

  2. Re:thats what emulators are for. on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 0, Redundant

    One bad thing I've found about emulators is that my controllers on my PC aren't quite designed for these old console games.

    I hope all of these prizes like this and the X-Prize will help hurtle technology forward so we can all get into space.

  6. Re:Wrong person on The Man Who Could Have Been Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    After dealing with Windows ME before, that doesn't sound too far fetched.

  7. Re:Great Launch! on DS Launch Titles Officially Revealed · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing Mario Kart won't use the stylus that much. The regular d-pad is still there.

  8. Re:Sure to be ... on Doom Movie Scriptwriter Dave Callaham Interviewed · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The game franchise I want to see turned into a movie is Warcraft. They could easily make a trilogy on the scale of the Lord of the Rings movies. With the story telling in the game and the back stories in the manuals, I think there is enough there to base a good script on.

    no

  10. Re:Well....From the TFA- on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    well that too

  11. Re:Well....From the TFA- on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 4, Informative

    China has a lot of troops at the North Korean border. They can be used to protect them, but are mostly there to overrun them if they get too stupid

  12. Drivers on Verizon PCMCIA Card Just Works · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've found that I rarely have to actually install a drive on OS X, but it's not imediatly recognized I usually have a hard timefinding one. Same thing for Linux

  13. Re:"Service Delivery" on On Moving Toward Software Rentals · · Score: 5, Funny

    There's no use in fighting it. They've already got acronyms. When the acronyms come out it's all over.

  14. Re:Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics on Mozilla Usage Doubles in 9 Months · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Although I am just a lowly nurse, I provide ad hoc tech support to our little off site research facility. When I repair some infected machine, I just delete the "E" icon, put on Mozilla and tell them thats what they have to click now to get on the internet. The only comment I've ever heard was "Why don't I get all those popups blocking my screen anymore" Most people never notice the differance.

    I don't remove IE, I just tell them the "e" is what messed up their computer and that the firefox icon is the new link to the internet.

  15. Re:Good ridance on Caller ID Spoofing Firm Gets Death Threats · · Score: 1

    One big thing about this was that it made it easily avalible to the general public.

  16. Re:Browser usage among mountain bikers and Mac use on Mozilla Usage Doubles in 9 Months · · Score: 2, Interesting

    On a lot of website statistics gathering tools KHTML and Safari aren't supported options so they usally get counted as gecko based(at least with mine).

  17. Re:GReeaaaaaat game! on MultiTheftAuto Development Continues · · Score: 1

    The first few time I played it I just ran around aimlessly and shot and beat up people and got bored with it. When I actually got the game and started actually playing along with the story it got very interesting. I plays out more like a movie than a game.

  18. Re:Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics on Mozilla Usage Doubles in 9 Months · · Score: 2, Insightful

    some sites(like my bank) used to force me to do this, but reacently they've been getting better about it, and haven't had to do it in a while.

  19. Re:Obligatory Joke on Caller ID Spoofing Firm Gets Death Threats · · Score: 4, Funny

    Harassing this man is wrong. This should only be used for legimate uses like pranks and stalking.

  20. Re:Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics on Mozilla Usage Doubles in 9 Months · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I keep fixing people's computers because they have become so infested with spyware that they are unusable. In all those cases I install firefox and tell them to use that, and about 4 out of 5 keep firefox, so from my perspective usage has increased too.

  21. Re:Unlikely on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 2, Funny

    I seem to have this thing with Apple that everytime I buy something from them, a newer model gets announced the next week

    Could you do me a favor and pick a PowerBook here pretty soon. I was thinking of getting one in about 6 months or so.

    A baby eh.. that implies he has a girlfriend.. ueber-geek has girlfriend. Oh my god, there's something wrong. Did someone open a portal to hell or something??

    That's how Doom 3 came about.

    Hopefully the increase in CPU sales mean that Apple still has some life in it as far as the PC market goes.

    Would this patent affect anything that remotely interacts with FAT even just reading, or just things that write and creat FAT file systems.
