  1. ... begging the question - is there one? on Incentive To Keep Playing MMORPGs? · · Score: 1

    No.

  2. Re:Unrealistic trial on Electronic Voting Machine Cracker Challenge · · Score: 1

    I don't think even 1/2 of Georgia state can use a computer, much less be a cracker.

    Try 5-10% of the state.

  3. Re:You know... on SCO Targets US Government, TiVo · · Score: 5, Funny

    Free 'vacation' to Cuba?

  4. SCO on SCO Targets US Government, TiVo · · Score: 5, Funny

    Trying to piss EVERYONE off, are we, SCO?

  5. Re:d'oh... on Clammy Modding · · Score: 1

    http://metku.net/cryo/index.html

    It's on the same site. Too bad about the slashdotting, though.

  6. Canadians? on Slow And Steady Leads To Windows Refund Success · · Score: 1

    Seems the article only mentions California, or references to the United States.
    Would us Canadians be able to do the same things mentioned?

  7. Re:All Your Box Art Are Belong To Us on Celebrating Bad Game Packaging Art · · Score: 4, Funny

    I highly doubt that. Second place MAYBE, but not first.

    Battle Rangers would take #1. Hands down.

    Best Video Game Quote Ever.



  8. Re:Sensible move on Will Munich's Linux Desktops Be Running Windows? · · Score: 1
    Who's more reliable? Microsoft or a flyspeck vendor like VMWare?

    Is that a trick question?

  9. Re:Well on Red Hat To Drop Boxed Retail Distribution · · Score: 1
    The company hopes that the changes help to overcome the long lead time needed to produce boxed sets. With a six-month release cycle, and with the rapid pace of Linux development, many packages shipped on CD are obsolete before they ever reach retail shelves.

    What about RedHat Up2Date? Wouldn't that make the many packages shipped on CD not-so-obsolete?

    Although, I haven't actually seen a boxed version of RedHat in ages (or any other Linux distribution, for that matter). They don't seem very frequent here in Canada, but it could be just the stores I go to (I don't go in big retail stores(ie. Best Buy, Future Shop, Radio Shack, etc.))

  10. Re:New branding strategy on Matrix Reloaded on DVD Before Revolutions · · Score: 1

    May the Schwartz be with you.

  11. COSMOS Project on Solar Sail Will Work, says Planetary Society · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What about the KOSMOS Project?

  12. Re:Leverage on Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    no matter what anyone says Mozilla doesn't perform anything close to how IE does, and yes, I have used both

    Then use Opera?

  13. Re:Things I've learned from games on Videogames, Learning, And Literacy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyways, here in Cupertino, CA (courtesy of Apple Computer), we used plenty of video games in elementary school for learning purposes.

    In my elementary school (so many years ago) our computer class consisted of playing Carmen Sandiego, Shufflepuck Cafe, SimEarth and SimCity.

    Good fun was had by all.

  14. Re:Things I've learned from games on Videogames, Learning, And Literacy · · Score: 1

    I got started playing videogames before I was three years old. My father had an Atari 800XL computer and a Colecovision. I've had console systems and computers in my life ever since.

    I'd say, I was able to build most of my hand-eye co-ordination and motor skills very early on.

    I was always at the top of my class in elementary and high school. I don't know if they are related, but it is possible.

  15. Re:What the.. ? on Xbox Linux Made Possible Without a Modchip · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm Canadian and proud to say I drink, and enjoy, Molson Canadian.

  16. Re:Dinosaur on Firebird Name Debate Enters a New Stage · · Score: 1

    Mozilla always reminded me of Godzilla. Why don't they use that motif?

    Mothra -> Mozthra
    Ghidorah -> Mozdorah
    Garuda -> Mozuda
    Rodan -> Mozdan
    Mogera -> Mozera

    Yeah, some of those suck. Mozthra almost rolls of the tongue.

  17. Re:We need this in Canada on Cashless Society · · Score: 1

    Would be a hell of a lot easier then carrying around 8 tonnes of metal in coin form.

    Who thought that many coins, that big, would be a good idea?!

  18. Re:they may be old... on Dell Dropping The Floppy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Floppy Disks, are re-writable...

    CD-Rs are not.

    CD-RWs are just as "reliable" as Floppy Disks. Can only burn so many times.

  19. Thank God... on Superbowl XXXVII · · Score: 2, Funny

    "So, if you're a good, patriotic American, you're certainly watching the Superbowl right about now."

    Thank God, I'm not an American. I don't know anyone willing to sit through 4 hours of "Pre-Game", 3 hours of the game, then another 2 hours of "Post-Game Wrap-up".

    Is all that really necessary?

    That's because it was soooo easy. :D

  23. Re:Arrgrgrgrgrghhhh! on Ballmer Wants to "Stomp Linux" Using MS community · · Score: 1

    "Few?!? I think someone is in denial....."

    From the article: "Currently there are about 1,200 MVPs, half of whom are in the United States."

    I'd say 1,200 people out of how many millions that use computers is only a few.

    Blackthorne also made it to the SNES Console.
