  1. Re:It should be very possible on 'Transformers' Live Action Movie from DreamWorks? · · Score: 1

    I loved that commercial to bits, but seriously;
    As long as they get the voices to sound the same (specifically Soundwave, my favorite character in the tv series) and a decent plot down, it should be good.

  2. Re:prime stake on Apple Offers Huge Prizes For Video Game Ports · · Score: 1

    With our luck they would post the article twice.

  3. Re:Canadians! on Netflix Pioneers Industry To Get Left in the Dust? · · Score: 1

    going to leave my mark here as well, great company... they even linked up rottentomato reviews to some movies (hope it gets integrated to the rest of the site). They even have a ton of anime/old school 80's cartoons to enjoy...

    When I'm done my hording, I simply turn off my subscription, it's that easy :)

  4. Re:Small Form Factor PCs? - THANKS APPLE! on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    THANK YOU APPLE!

    At last, I will get a machine that both my parents will be able to use with ease without supervision of their every move. I'm actually going to buy a couple for my family/friends....

    Time to take advantage of working at an Apple retailer and all ;)

    On the other end of the spectrum, looks like we will need to get more Apple certified technicians working for us, and I will be shipping more parts.

  5. Re:Weight Sensors on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    Odd question, is this the same way the circular-button works the iPod? Via induction that is.

  6. Re:Favorite Streams on Canadian Public Radio Streaming Ogg Vorbis · · Score: 1

    Not to mention they have a pretty nice classical and ambient station as well, these guys are huge :D Viva la DI.FM!

  7. New Mac OS version? on Mac OS X Panther On A 25MHz Centris 650 · · Score: 1

    When should we expect the OS X Sloth Preview (http://www.apple.com/macosx/sloth/) to come online?

  8. Re:Human neurons... on Flying By Brain · · Score: 1

    Thank you for making my day, gold.

  9. Re:Second scroll wheel? on The Joypad That Became A Rotary Controller · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is that Doc Oc is my current background, I am a graphic designer so of course the first thing I did was remove all the copyright text from the image etc. You can pick up the bad ass background here in PNG goodness: http://www.wecutclutter.com/priv/sd/doc-oc.png

  10. Second scroll wheel? on The Joypad That Became A Rotary Controller · · Score: 1

    How about we simply add another scroll wheel to the mouse? Does anyone know of any experiments/products like this? Added productivity without needing another couple limbs (although I could sure as hell use another pair)

  11. That's easy for me... on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    bob@dole.net always is my pick, unless I run for presidency.

  12. Whoops, on Using Blogs To Dispense Venture Capital · · Score: 1

    There goes the %99.999 uptime guarantee!

  13. Planet lander! on John Carmack's Test Liftoff a Success · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else here think of that old Lander game when you saw it plant itself back on the ground?

  14. Re:Apple's had this for years on 4km WiFi Range w/ $5 DIY Antenna · · Score: 1

    Could you point me to what combo cisco product/antenna would give me a 25 mile range spot? I'm interested.

  15. Wireless household phones on FCC to Reorganize 800mhz Band? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Isn't the 800MHz band where many wireless household phones/headphones run at? You know, before the 1.2GHz craze or what not.

  16. Servers made of wood :-) on Exotic Wood Computer Cases · · Score: 0

    I wonder if they custom milled a wood case for their servers, this is the first time we may have actually made a server catch fire!

  17. Re:Enough With The... + Some Ideas on Linux for iPod Matures · · Score: 1

    When the next version of Ephpod gets released it will automatically make a playlist for every directory probed. My $5 in beer money in the works :)

  18. Re:DVD REVolution on Netflix to Offer Movie Downloads · · Score: 4, Funny

    Watch me go from zero to dvd collector in one swift car heist!

  19. Re:Wahooo (this isn't a joke!) on Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage? · · Score: 1

    They have added "Privacy Policy - Program Policies - Terms of Use" at the bottom of the pages with detailed information and a method to contact them to give suggestions. I very well doubt this is a prank, if it is I will eat Gmail's terms of service.

  20. Movies and games on Creativity, a Problem for the Gaming Industry? · · Score: 1

    I hope that the gaming world doesn't ever suscumb to the "most sequals suck" rule which dominates the movie industry.

  21. Woah on When Geeks Go Camping · · Score: 1

    Where can I sign up? Are we going to be creating little stick RIAA/SCO men and burning them in the pit later on?

  22. Faceplant combo! on Phoenix School to Install Face Scanners · · Score: 1

    The first thing that came to my mind when I read about a "face scanner" is a... FACE PLANT in big orange letters appearing on the identification screen as if it was a combo move in a game like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, score!

    I also imagine a nerd getting his head stuck in a document scanner, but that is another story.

  23. Heh... an EZPass... on Police and Lawyers Love E-ZPass · · Score: 1

    EZPASS to Jail! Do not collect $200!
