  1. Re:Not surprising on China Blocks Typepad, Prompts Weblog Blackout · · Score: 4, Funny

    'At least we're better then China' isn't really something to be overly proud of.

    It's akin to a murderer claiming at least he didn't kill more people.

  2. Re:let them do it... on Epic Cracking Down On UT2K4 Cheaters Already · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Would that really work? What kind of mentality does a cheater have?

    In any case I don't see that being a solution, the cheats that are refined on one set of servers could wreck havoc on the 'real' ones.

  3. DMCA-like Provisions? on Australia-U.S. Trade Agreement Contains DMCA-like Provisions · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Under existing Australian copyright law you're not allowed to create backup copies, even if you can legitimately prove you own the property in question.

    I fail to see how DMCA-like provisions under the FTA will make current law even worse then it already is.

    Not to mention most of the 'free' part of the deal doesn't come into the equation for another 18 years.

    Great job, Mark Vaile.

  4. 'The internet is dead' on The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nope, just their site, it seems.

  5. Legalized Stealing? on Greek Anti-Gaming Laws Still Being Enforced · · Score: 4, Funny

    ' "These guys earn so much, that even when police catch them and confiscate their PCs, they can pay the fines and buy new material with just a single day's proceedings," Gusakis added.'

    Wow, let the raids continue! Let justice ring clear! So long as they can afford it, its perfectly ok to steal computers?! Off to Walmart I go!

  6. Positive progress on Google to Launch Free Mail Service? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Coming from Google its pretty much a given the tried and tested 'Free Email' sector will see some new and exciting innovations.

    However, the KISS method should defintley continue to apply for Google.com - the moment it begins to mimick Yahoo or MSN is the moment it will have lost its edge.

  7. Re:Cart before the horse? on Russia Working on Soyuz Replacement · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Isn't NASA a major player in the ISS Project? Don't throw rocks from your glass house, Mir was doing better at this stage in its life then the ISS is doing right now.

  8. Yes, But... on WineX 3.3 Out - Now Supports Steam · · Score: 1

    Will it run my Windows version of UT2004?

  9. Heh, Good ol' Yamauchi on Hiroshi Yamauchi On Nintendo's Future · · Score: 1, Troll

    This guy's brilliance is only surpassed by his arrogance.

    One of his better quotes in the mid 90s was something along the lines of

    'I could shut this industry down by next week'

    Having said that, it was under his direction that led to the massive success of both the NES and the SNES. He became arrogant and somewhat senile during his later days at Nintendo.

  10. Re:Damn Japanese Culture on GameCube Successor For E3 2005? · · Score: 1

    Funny, there's probably 128 different ways to tell you that you're an idiot.

    The Xbox has a 32bit Processor and the Gamecube has a 64bit Processor.

  11. Go ahead... make my day on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Looks like they'll be in for another name change soon ;)

  12. My favourite on Kids Improve Writing Online · · Score: 1

    I have to admit I'm quite a fan of the Harry Potter / Sailor Moon / Star Trek crossovers.

  13. Re:Misleading/slanderous headline on Microsoft Violates Human Rights in China · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Crimes as heinous as peaceful organization of pro-democracy rallies.

    How we, as 'liberators' have seeemed to ignore China after Tiananmen Square confuses and alarms me.

  14. Frist Psot!!! on Bad Spelling Pays on eBay · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  15. Re:Nintendo losing its appeal on EA Hot On PSP, Not Yet On DS As Results Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You wouldn't happen to have a tatoo of barbed wire around your bicep?

    Sega was unprofitable. Nintendo makes more money on their products then Microsoft make on 90% of their products.

  16. Re:idiots. on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1

    An understandable recourse of action when you consider SCO have faced no legal scrutiny for their crimes.

  17. My question on Ask About the Iraqi LUG · · Score: -1, Troll

    Are people that use Gentoo considered enemy combatants?

  18. Finally.. on Bill Gates to be Knighted · · Score: 2, Funny

    With a name like William Gates III it was only a matter of time!

  19. Ahem... on Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Safely · · Score: 4, Funny

    While overseeing the landing of Oppurtunity, Al Gore quipped to the NASA engineers that he actually invented the propulsion engine.

    The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

  22. Re:Sounds like my experience on 8th Grader Suspended for Using 'net send' Command · · Score: 1

    Heh, sounds a bit like my experience, only in my case I was trying to fix the prompt on a library machine, The head librarian saw me entering 'prompt $p$g' and caused a huge ruckus, accusing me of hacking.

  23. Six Degrees of Seperation on New Worm Spreads Via MSN Messenger · · Score: 0

    A six degrees of seperation experiment, Is how I see it.

  24. Man, I can't wait on Multi Theft Auto Hits Vice City Again · · Score: 2, Funny

    'MTA:VC 0.3 introduces the long-anticipated walking and running animations'

    I certainly hope the developers come good with their promise for textured polygons in 0.4, man, that'd rock.

  25. Well, Frankly on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 1

    So called 'Legitimate' web advertising annoys me more then Spam.

    Not being able to access sites because I'm apparantly a 'bandwidth theif' for blocking annoying popup ads is far more annoying then say, pressing the delete button a few times.
