  1. Terrorist as the lead? Not in Hollywood on V for Vendetta Going to Hollywood · · Score: 1

    I will be absolutely shocked if this movie gets made by Hollywood with the original story intact. I don't think that they'd ever dare do it, just like they can't do the end of Watchmen as in the comic.

    I love Alan Moore's stories. Hate his movies.

  2. What's next from security focus? on Security Issues in Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Announcements of security vulnerabilities in Netscape 4 or Mosiac?

  3. Some of those hacks sound kind of cool! on Sims 2 Hacks Spread Like Viruses · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe now I'll check the game out.

  4. Does he still work for Valve? on Wired Interviews Bram Cohen, Creator of BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did he do much work on Steam?

  5. I believe that site needs a redesign! on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    Way too many pages to click through to read it all.

  6. Another change... on New Shuttle Fuel Tanks Ready · · Score: 1

    They now take unleaded instead of regular.

  7. For a creative take on the War of the Worlds... on War of the Worlds, Chocolate Factory Trailers · · Score: 1

    Check out The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. 2.
    Excellent stuff! No relation to the horrendous League movie.

  8. Is our children learning? on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    Apparently not.

  9. Interesting related story on Lone Activist Group Submits 99.8% of FCC Complaints · · Score: 1

    The radio show On the Media recently covered a similar thing:
    Army of Three
    Last month, the FCC hit Fox stations with the largest ever aggregate fine for indecency on TV. The offending material was a scene on the short-lived reality show "Married by America," involving strippers and whipped cream. Regulators said the move was triggered by 159 citizen complaints. But Buzzmachine.com blogger Jeff Jarvis tells Bob that the actual number of angry missives was much, much smaller.
    Link to audio and transcript (midway down the page)

  10. Re:Doom III on Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Confirmed · · Score: 1

    And hardly any user-created levels, either. Is it just too complicated or too time consuming to make stuff with the D3 engine?

    Perhaps it has something to do with the way that id doesn't seem very connected to their community anymore. They don't seem to be as interested in fostering a relationship with the community as Valve or the UT people are...

  11. Could this somehow be good for Valve? on Steam Registration Servers Overloaded · · Score: 1

    It's not like people aren't going to buy HL2 because they have to wait. And then Valve gets free press about how they're a victim of their own popularity, which probably increases sales to 'average' users even more.

  12. Will reading books cause the same thing? on Computers Linked to Glaucoma? · · Score: 1

    Have there ever been any studies like this of bookreading? Is it what your doing (ie reading for long periods) or what you're doing it on (on screen vs. on a page)?

  13. Red Rider BB Gun? on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Isn't that THE classic Christmas toy?

  14. While you're at Meijjer... on Halo 2 Retail Date Broken in Midwest · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Pick up some of there gummy bears from the bulk foods. They're the best you'll ever have and only $1.49 per pound. Seriously!
    Wishin' we had a Meijjer store here in Washington, DC...

  15. Control panels! on The Future of PC-Audio: Interview With Keith Kowal · · Score: 1

    More control panels in audio drivers is the future!!!

    And tunes! Forget transistors, where's my tube-powered soundblaster?

  16. Re:Here in VA on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1

    Nope. Just a little touchscreen black box on legs. It's got plastic wings that obscure what you're doing, but no curtains.

  17. Here in VA on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1

    We have some other brand of e-voting machine. With no paper, and no network connection -- just a power cord into the wall. Wonder what happens if they're unplugged? Or crash?

  18. "TiVo's lawyer explains." on TiVo Plans More Functionality Reductions · · Score: 1

    You know it can't be good when a lawyer has to explain something.

  19. Prepare for iPorn!!! on New Apple iPod with Photo Capabilities · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps Apple will be opening another store soon -- for adults only!

  20. Counterfeit baby food, eh? on U.S. Declares War on Intellectual Property Theft · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's why my jar of Gerber Ham and Ham Gravy doesn't taste like I remembered it.

  21. My name is Mario... on Coping with Gaming Addiction · · Score: 1

    And I'm an addict.
    So is my brother, Luigi.

  22. I predict... on Vehicles of Tomorrow? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Even larger cupholders.

  23. Next up... on The Secret Behind the iPod Scroll Wheel · · Score: 2, Funny

    The true story behind the the Ipod's headphone jack.

  24. It must be! on ZFS, the Last Word in File Systems? · · Score: 1

    There aren't any letters after "Z" that I know of.

  25. Will Cheney live long enough? on People on Mars in 30 Years? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mars sounds like a dreamy undisclosed location to me!
