  1. Re:Based on this article..... on Game Industry Folks Siding With the Wii · · Score: 1

    Because they work for the competition

  2. mod parent up! on RIAA President Decries Fair Use · · Score: 1

    give this man mod points!

  3. Re:Corporate vs. Personal Responsibili on The Dark Side of the PlayStation 3 Launch · · Score: 1, Insightful

    it's called greed and exploitation?

  4. Re:The Other side of the coin on History To Repeat Itself With PS3? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Instant gratification? The 360 has a crappy library and the systems are usually faulty. I hardly call that instant gratification. Most people see it as an expensive piece of crap.

  5. Re:They're NOT communists... on Chinese GPS System To Be Offered Free · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If only I had mod points you would get them. It's sad how most Americans call China communist when they haven't even read the communist manifesto. Hell, most scream that socialist welfare states in Europe are communist.

  6. Re:Why not just buy from U.S.? on Nuclear Tech Race Is On In Middle East · · Score: 1

    Because Candu reactors from Canada are better?

  7. Re:Time on Why Sony Won't Lose The Next-Gen War · · Score: 1

    You mean the wii pretty much. The 360 is doing worse than the original xbox in the same time frame. So it's either going to be the wii or nothing.

  8. Wii60 is idiotic on Peter Moore Plugs the Wii60 Again · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Let's see, what can I get for the price of a wii60? I can buy a wii, with an extra controller and a few games. The people going around spouting this wii60 crap are just doing the marketing for Microsoft by jumping on Nintendo's coattails which is pretty much brand theft. They are just hoping that this will help their dismal sales as they are about to be trounced by the PS3(especially since they just announced some price cuts) and Wii this christmas.

  9. Re:I've losing faith in slashdot on Bayer Petitions For Approval of Biotech Rice · · Score: 1

    needs +5 insightful bad

  10. Re:Good console. on Nintendo Reconfirms Wii Shipments · · Score: 1

    The wii will be better and exceed the xbox 360. The xbox 360 is doing worse than it's predecessar if you compare it to it's predecessor in a similiar timeframe. Nintendo has really set themselves up well for this generation.

  11. Re:Certainly True in Canada on Cable Industry Needs to Spend Heavily on Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Same with cogeco cable and it's 60gb cap~

  12. Re:Congratulations America on Wiretapping Lawsuit Against AT&T Dismissed · · Score: 1

    Did you really re-elect Bush? I thought the electoral college did that for you.

  13. Re:The purpose of underdogs? on When Consoles Lose, Everyone Wins · · Score: 1

    I disagree with you by saying the console is marketed towards kids. It's just like the xenophobes who blame the xbox 360 for failing in japan because of loyalty to japanese product. Nintendo has branched away from the kiddie stereotype and focus on making good games for all ages, just because there's no blood or boobs does not make a game "kiddie".

  14. Re:To my U.K. Bretheren... on UK Hackers Face Antisocial Behaviour Orders · · Score: -1, Troll

    Don't know why this was modded flaimebait when it's true. I guess people are just too afraid to admit it. If I had some mod points I'd mod you up.

  15. Re:So... on More Wii-mote Info · · Score: 1

    You get the same amount of time as you would with an xbox 360 controller so nothing new or bad here.

  16. Re:360 Supplies? on U.S. Game Sales Up 25% In June · · Score: 1

    Nope, 360 is still being outsold by the ps2 according to npd numbers. Actual June NPD hardware numbers: DS 593k PS2 312k 360 277k PSP 221k

  17. Re:yeah on RFID Passports Raise Safety Concerns · · Score: 1

    Thank god, hopefully americans won't get passports that signal they are canadian though. They are the most boastful people on the planet about their country, yet when they travel abroad they lie and say they're from another.

  18. Re:World of Warcraft on Casual Gaming the Real Next Gen? · · Score: 1

    World of Warcraft used to be a good example but the way the development team has gone with their game they have now alienated most of their user base.

  19. Re:Makes sense... on Xbox 360 Wins Through 2009? · · Score: 1

    The dreamcast had the lead on it's rivals and did poorly so it doesn't truly make sense. Same with the sega genesis having the lead on the snes.

  20. Re:Don't forget... on EFF Gets Animated About DRM with The Corruptibles · · Score: 1

    Yup they can! In canada we even have Captain Copyright to teach children about giving up their rights that they have. Luckily, it's not catching on I think or maybe I'm just being naive and hopeful.

  21. Re:EU US bullshit ... Or Reality ? on Internet For All in Europe · · Score: 5, Funny

    "And i would wish the people who are annoyed with the way things are going in u.s. would migrate to europe." Why go all the way to europe when canada is just above them? ;)

  22. Re:Okay.... stop reading diggvsdot before posting on DIY 4 GHz Dual Core Gaming Rig For $720 · · Score: 1

    Damn, I just ran out of mod points. I definantly would've burned them on you(+1 funny) even though you choose to post as an AC. *gasps* As am I.

  23. Isn't it Hollywood? on The Pornographers vs. The Pirates · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Summary has holywood instead of hollywood.

  24. Who didn't see this coming? on Canadian Record Industry's Secret Lobby Campaign · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When the conservatives won in January it was just a matter of time really.

  25. Pay their fair share? on Net Neutrality or Not? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Greedy telco's, the big companies already pay their portion. I pay for my bandwidth, google pays for theirs.
