  1. Coming soon to a linux kernel near you: on The Really Fair Scheduler · · Score: 3, Funny

    The the fancy fair scheduler.

  2. Re:And then there's stallman on Google Geek's Photos of the Famous · · Score: 1

    This is a little know secret, but I'll let you in on it.
    RMS normally wears suits and glasses. Under his suit he has these hippie outfits.
    In normal public he wears the suits, but when he's needed in action he'll switch to the hippie outfit in a phone booth.

    By now you should have guessed it. RMS and Bill Gates are the same person.

  3. Re:Psychonauts, yay! on Game Commentary, With Funny Added - Zero Punctuation · · Score: 1

    MEAT CIRCUS!

    (sorry about that, suffered some brain damage trying to complete that level)

  4. Re:Yawn on NYT Confirms Movie Studios Paid to Support HD DVD · · Score: 1

    Also, DVD is still not quite ubiquitous: most games still come in many CDs, when I would really prefer a single DVD.
    As far as I know this usually only the case in the USA. In Europe everything that doesn't fit on a single CD will be put on a DVD.
    Of course we Europeans will often have to wait a lot longer for the release.
  5. I'm shocked... well, not really on The ESRB Doesn't Take Games Seriously? · · Score: 1

    So the ESRB is just as bad at doing its job as the MPAA rating board?
    Did anyone check if the boards share the same members?

  6. misleading "OpenSource" use? on Google's Continued Growing Pains · · Score: 3, Interesting

    OpenAds (formerly known as phpAdsNew) may be open source software, but it mostly relies on 3rd party ad sellers. It will allow you to sell ads on your own site, but as long as no advertisers are buying your ad space you have to rely on things like AdSense.
    Also, open source software for rotating banners with click/impression counting has been around for ages, it's not new. phpAds was created in 1999.

    Open source search engines. Well, the source might be open (just like htdig has been open source for ages). But it's not like any end user of search engines is going to run their own search engine, it's simply impossible for consumers to run their own search engine. Website operators may run their own search engine, but usually limited to their own site.

    So the whole reference to open source "competitors" to google products is complete bullshit.

  7. I disliked the previous Boll films as much... on The Postal Movie is Really Bad · · Score: 1

    ... as the next guy. But I think Uwe found the genre he belongs to.
    The trailer of this movie looks very interesting from a very very bad movie that requires watching with friends and a lot of beer.

  8. Real life has no reset button or savegames on The State of Play - Violence and Videogames · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not going to each pills, while running from ghosts, and listening to repetitive music.
    I'm not planning to perform a stealth kill in real life. I can't reset the real world or restore a save game.

    Of course, that is what a rational person would do. But irrational people are... well, irrational.

  9. Community is not one entity on Open Source Community's Double Standard · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a collection of individual entities all with their _own_ voice. The Open Source community is not like the Borg Collective.
    Not everybody in the community will roar on the same topic, so you will always get mixed results when you summarize the comments.

  10. Why oppose it? on DUI Defendant Wins Source Code to Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    It's not like you can cheat the device when you saw the source.

  11. need more tags on Finally We Get New Elements In HTML 5 · · Score: 4, Funny

    </> close previous open tag
    <//> close all open tags
    </fix> instantly fix everything that is wrong with the site
    <beer> because I need one, preferably a one of class="cold"

  12. Re:Source on id Resolves DOSBox/GPL Issue · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So it still works when you replace VALVe's DOSbox with the latest DOSbox release?

  13. an experienced crappy programmer still ... on Hiring Programmers and The High Cost of Low Quality · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... produces crap. Good programmers are not cheap, people that want to hire them are.

  14. *Phew* plain text on Creative Documentation · · Score: 1

    The last documentation I read needed a Z machine interpreter.
    Took me hours just to get through the maze.

  15. Re:Aren't they being lazy? on id and Valve May Be Violating GPL · · Score: 1

    That requires effort. Now they get a lot more profit, no need to invest time.

  16. Re:Does this mean on id and Valve May Be Violating GPL · · Score: 5, Informative

    No. It means that they violate copyright law because they didn't conform to the GPL terms. If it's true, they are illegally distributing the software called: DOSbox.

    It doesn't mean any code of the old DOS iD games has to be released. Only modifications they might have made to DOSbox will have to be made public.

    It's due to the work of the DOSbox creators that VALVe and iD can sell their old software and people can enjoy it. Yet the DOSbox creators don't get any credit for their work. And that is a major shame.

  17. Re:*sigh* on The Pirate Bay About To Relaunch Suprnova.org · · Score: 1

    Interesting, they offer a torrent with all their music on their site. In other words, the thread starter is full of shit.

  18. Re:Doesn't work on Music Piracy Documentary Released As Torrent · · Score: 2, Informative

    It works for me, and about 200 other people

  19. Re:Ah, carmageddon... on Rockstar Appeals British Ban on Manhunt 2 · · Score: 1

    I thought Germany had zombies with green blood and UK had robots. Or was it the other way around?

    Anyway... that saved lives... well, not really.

  20. like a series of pipes on What Does the 'Next Internet' Look Like? · · Score: 1

    tubes don't provide enough bandwidth

  21. The future of gaming on For-Pay Demos Coming to Xbox Live? · · Score: 1

    Pay for everything!

    You even have to pay for the privilege of paying (this is actually already true, because you need a creditcard to pay in the first place).

  22. Why care? on Blow-Back From Ebert's Latest Games Assertion · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why should we (gamers and game creators) care what Roger Ebert says?

  23. Monopoly on Our ATM Is Broken, Go To Jail · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Go to jail? Meh... next turn I will simply roll double 5 and land on free parking.

  24. Re:MOD Parent DOWN on NZ MPs Outlaw Satire of Parliament · · Score: 1

    Wrong map, that one is outdated. Use this one instead: http://www.chakuriki.net/en/world/

    New Zealand (noted as NZ in the map) is in the lower right corner, just above OZ and Antarctica.

  25. Re:10 simple rules to show your appreciation on Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1
