  1. stupid question on Play PSX Games On Your Xbox · · Score: 0

    Why emulate something through an emulator? Why host a web server on a Dreamcast? WE'RE GEEKS. IT'S WHAT WE DO.

  2. Re:Ahh, checkboxes... on Mozilla 1.4 Alpha To Have ActiveX Support · · Score: 0

    I'd like to see a checkbox in the Preferences box simply marked "[X] Suck".

  3. crazy on Al Gore Joins Apple's Board Of Directors · · Score: 1, Funny

    Between this and this, I had to check to see it wasn't April Fool's Day.

  4. Re:Helpful? on Why Nerds Are Unpopular · · Score: 0

    "They are all stupider than I!"

    "...stupider than me."

  5. characters I want on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 0

    Em dashes (maybe to replace the underscore, now that command-line operating systems are dead for many people and since the underscore has no function in English) and Euros.

    A complete Unicode keyboard would be cool too, even if I'd have to take the door off the house to fit it in.

  6. Re:67 more years.... on 70-Year-Old Prank Revealed · · Score: 0

    He's referring to a product called 'Duke Nukem Forever', which will be launched on PC and Playstation later this year.

    Aw, man, that's disturbing. It's like reading a letter from a soldier you know died in battle where he talks about what he wants to do after the war. If they only knew.

  7. Re:Legal Beagle on Opera Releases "Bork" Edition · · Score: 0

    If horribly misrendering a web site is a crime, I think Microsoft is in quite a bit more trouble than Opera right now.

  8. Re:Overheard on California Considering More Internet Taxes · · Score: 0

    I'd be offended to be called a geek, but Gray Davis' name reminds me of Final Fantasy.

  9. how to design for all browsers... on Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera · · Score: 0

    You don't design separate pages for each browser, you design for structure. That is, use H1s when you need a first-level header, use floating DIVs instead of tables when you aren't dealing with tabular data, use ULs or OLs instead of BRs for lists, and take care of all stylistic information in the style sheet. It'll take a good bit of testing to get it to look right in several browsers and you do need to be a little clever to pull it off, but it's possible and necessary. Or else you get crap like this.

  10. the font size on Ain't It Cool Announces Game Site · · Score: 0

    ...to the 800 pt. Ariel font

    I like the way the 2000pt font gets bigger every time somebody mentiosn it.

  11. Rob Pardo interview on Warcraft III Expansion · · Score: 0

    http://www.gamespy.com/interviews/january03/war3tf t/ An interview with some more info.

  12. cool... on Should The Next Windows Be Built On Linux? · · Score: 0

    It'll be like a combination of Lindows and Windows. We can call it Windows.

  13. precedent for this... on US Military Uses Spam, Internet Explorer · · Score: 0

    http://www.snopes.com/rumors/condemn.htm

  14. IN SOVIET RUSSIA on DSL Amidst Phone Wars · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Joke kills YOU.

  15. Re:in Soviet Russia... on DirectX 9 Finally Out · · Score: -1, Troll

    DIE.

  16. Re:Other new stuff on Opera Gives That C64 Feel · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm quite impressed with this second beta. With betas like this, IE7 better be damn good to not get yawned at :)

    Or it can just, you know, come with Windows.
