  1. Re:mised 20 minutes, eh? on Canadians Miss Out On Doctor Who Season Finale · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But now every episode is just going to be some ironic staggering zombie with a mask on their face repeating a creepy phrase. Let's see what I can come up with... a...milkman with a...welding mask saying..."Give us a kiss!" a...zoologist with a...riot helmet saying..."Spare some change?" Bang, money in the bank.

  2. Re:"Rainbows End" FTW! on Bionic Contact Lens May Lead to Overlay Displays · · Score: 1

    <sm>jrootabega->halfelven:what the hell are you talking about?</sm>

  3. Where is Johnny Chung Lee? on Long Term Effects of Gizmodo CES Prank · · Score: 1

    Creative Solution: Two Wiimotes looking into the crowd to triangulate the location of any remotes, and display the location and picture of the guy on the displays he is trying to shut off. Mob justice ensues. Lessons learned, a good time was had by all.

  4. City of Heroes Purchased by NCsoft on City of Heroes Purchased By NCsoft · · Score: 1

    NCsoft plans to install it on Friday and just play like, all weekend.

  5. Re:Burn 'Em on Identity Theft Prevention Tips? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That is why you puff on a cigarette while you're doing it. It's a one-time pad.

  6. Quintology on OddWorld Inhabitants Leaving the Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    Hey! Don't they owe us....6.2 more games?

  7. Re:Why Sky*Web*? on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    Which he invented in the prequel.

  8. Neal? on The Art of Cable Folding · · Score: 1

    Say, I wonder what Neal Stephenson has written about this!

  9. This corresponds to another format release... on Adobe Releasing New Photo Format · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Picture Outline Object format, or .POO

  10. Reminds me of Dreamcast Shadowman on Star Wars DVD Changes XBox Dashboard · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of how Shadowman for Dreamcast semi-permanently changed your VMU icon to the teddy bear.

  11. Re: Sponge-Bob on The Incredibles Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    You're just saying that because he's got IDS.

  12. Re:Who needs phones anyway? on 80,012 Text Messages In One Month · · Score: 1

    Yes, probably of salmonella.

  13. Maybe they wanted to explore on Should Gamers Use Smarter Problem-Solving? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When I play games I try to cover an entire contiguous area before moving through a door into another. I don't want to trigger a boss battle or a level exit knowing that part of the level is still unexplored, and in the worst case now permanently inaccessible. In the case of the article, even though the right path might have been difficult and straightforward, it might have looked like less of a commitment. I would have taken it just to see where it led. Once I saw it all I would decide whether I wanted to go back and jump in the window, or take the door I found at the end of right path. Forks in the path of the game are cool, but I can't resist exploring both branches as far as possible before making my decision.

  14. In other news on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Activision has also announced that they will be releasing this summer next fall. In its place, look for a rerun of winter 1986, and a short period during which we will have no weather at all, and will probably die.

  15. Re:Gumshoe. on Missing Matter... Still Missing · · Score: 1
    Son of a!

    Why is the joke you want to make always on the last page?

  16. Contra Boss. on The Heavyweight Sea Snail · · Score: 1

    Before they build this, they should consider one thing: how hard would it be to kill this thing in Contra? Because you just know it's going to become self-aware and make itself boss of the underwater level.

  17. Re:Privilege level on New Windows Vulnerability in Help System · · Score: 1

    It's not. And it's a shame, considering the problem is probably the ability to create temporary files in the directory, which can be solved by giving the user the "Create Files" permission.

  18. Re:Happy Birthday April??? WTF??? on Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage? · · Score: 1

    Yeah! I guess April 1st could be considered April's Birthday. And the girl in the picture is Asian. Could she be...April Foo?

  19. Good thing... on The Memory Masters · · Score: 1

    Memorizing the positions of 52 cards? It's a good thing this event didn't happen in Las Vegas.

  20. Re:uhhhh.. on Realizing Near-Optical Magnetism · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not me, I was going to say "hmmmmm".

  21. Washing machine on What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I stick a wad of paper into the latch on the washing machine so I can watch it fill up with the door open.

  22. Re:Tree hacking.. on What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I did that for my kids once, too. Lessons learned: 1. Don't put the peephole on the inside of the fireplace. 2. Kids are fuckin whiners.

  23. All Hail Aerogel on The Amazing Properties of Aerogel · · Score: 1

    Aerogel will die for your sins. It is the Fifth Element.

  24. I don't get this bolded part on Quebec Cracks Down On Translated Videogames · · Score: 1

    "Pigeon, a Quebecen (oui et non?), let me know that games that don't feature French-language sections in English-language manuals are being pulled from shop shelves as well as games that aren't available in English if a French version is available." I have no clue what that means. Is it just me?

  25. Re:generating electricity on New Method To Generate Electricity from Water · · Score: 1

    No no, we should use David Bowie.
