  1. Re:This makes me happy on Neal Stephenson Returns with "Anathem" · · Score: 1

    Damn it, I'm reading the Diamond Age now. I really didn't like how he ended the Cryptonomicon,so I suppose I should be prepared.

  2. Re:Umm...Mod parent down? on iPhone's Development Limitations Could Hurt It In the Long Run · · Score: 1

    or he charges it while its still on. You know you don't actually have to turn the thing off to do that.

  3. Re:"only a little" on US Broadband Policy Called "Magical Thinking" · · Score: 1

    Is there an equivalent to Godwin's Law for fascism?
    The irony of that statement is delicious.
    but yeah. Companies are only going to build out where's there's profit. Gov't either has to make them build out the rest or do it themselves.
  4. Re:I think McCain would be the choice today on IT Workers Split For McCain, Obama · · Score: 4, Funny

    Go away, I won't have your infernal logic sullying this discussion any longer.

  5. Wrong Name on A Robotic Taxi Named robuCAB · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm not using it until they change the name to JohnnyCab

  6. Re:Sounds like he's been reading slashdot... on Woz Dumps on MacBook Air, iPhone, AppleTV · · Score: 1

    My guess would be that he needs outlook and the other parts of Office that aren't available on the Mac. I'd love a nice desktop and an air to have around the house/taking notes, but there's no OneNote for mac which throws that plan out the window.

  7. Re:Already here in the United States on The Future of MMOs · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, unless you've paid for one of the special items, they delete accounts after 90 days of activity.

  8. Re:Wasn't that the whole point on US Claims Satellite Shoot-Down Success · · Score: 2, Funny

    seriously, people need to stop bitching and realize how awesome that was.

  9. Re:Get a pen on How to Convert Your HD-DVD Discs to Blu-Ray · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The biggest problem with the internet is when you can't tell if the fake things are real or if the real things are fake.

  10. Re:Jesus Fucking Christ on New Science Standards Approved in Florida · · Score: 1

    Yes, and the real irony of this debate is that is the tactic of both sides.

  11. Re:Makes one wonder... on An Older Demographic May Soon Dominate Gaming · · Score: 1

    Something tells me that taking the politicans out and blowing them, won't really help us much at all.

  12. Re:Sick of Huckabee on Super Tuesday, McCain Leads Reps, Dems Undecided · · Score: 1

    Exactly, if you look at states that caucus and states that vote, Romney has won almost all of the caucus state (with Huckabee getting a few) and McCain the primary states. I don't have numbers to back this up, but I'd imagine that the makeup of caucuses have a lot more party-faithful than a primary.

  13. Re:I've never been so embarrased to say I'm from M on Super Tuesday, McCain Leads Reps, Dems Undecided · · Score: 1

    Because he used to be governor there? I don't know if MA has closed elections, but if so, Romney was the most popular candidate among Republicans, not the whole state. If not, people like to vote for people they know, that's why (among many other reasons) incumbents win more often than not.

  14. Re:!DIAF on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 4, Informative

    If that's what I'm thinking of it was actually a tent fire during the first Iraq war. THe front was charred, but you could pop games in and barely see/play them. Not bad. Nintendo even sent them a new one to replace it.

  15. Re:Shame he didn't... on A Mythbuster's Biggest Tech Headaches (and Solutions) · · Score: 2, Informative

    FYI, they did that in an episode. Strapped a CD to an angle grinder to get maximum RPM.

  16. Re:But WHY??? on The True Cost of SMS Messages · · Score: 4, Insightful

    One can text multiple people at the same time while talking is one-to-one communication. Texting is like IM. There's no reason to use IM when there's a phone on your desk right?

  17. Re:Warning to readers on Startup Offers Instant-Boot Windows Alternative · · Score: 1

    Where exactly does the "o" come from?

  18. Re:SNES version? on SimCity Source Code Is Now Open · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes it did. I believe it was in June or so of last year. Now the browser costs 500 points.

  19. Re:Bender OS on Beer Brewing Bender Completed · · Score: 1

    I thought that was his preferred malt liquor.

  20. Re:another win for the lawyers on USPTO Reaffirms 1-Click Claims 'Old And Obvious' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Given that at least one other business entity has licensed 1-click from amazon (Apple, I don't know if there are others), I'd imagine that this is an attempt to keep that revenue stream open and flowing.

  21. Re:Not that exciting on Zen and the Art of Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    Exactly, Guitar Hero is to Guitar Playing what kareoke is to Singing. Its not about what you're doing, its how you're doing it.

  22. Re:Race goes on on US Urged To Keep Space Shuttles Flying Past 2010 · · Score: 1

    If that's the case, why did it take 25 years for the Department of Education to be created?

  23. Re:Where are the internet games? on Where are Wii? · · Score: 1

    depends on what you mean by duplicating xbox live. The virtual console effectively duplicates the xbox live arcade, wherein one can buy games that are downloaded to one's console. The multiplayer aspects of xbox live are however not duplicated.

  24. Casnio Night Zone on Twelve Game Music Tracks Worth Keeping · · Score: 4, Funny

    Bah, no list that has Sonic music is valid if it doesn't list the music to Casino Night zone. Especially with Lyrics!: Oh, casino night zone, casino night. Casino night zooone, casino nigght zoooone

  25. Re:Nearly two years old on Level Design For Games · · Score: 1

    This is horribly off topic, but when I first started reading /., I was amazed at all the comments that anonymous coward guy was making.
