  1. quite the pickle on Wii, DS, Not Cannibals · · Score: 1

    So basically they're saying Nintendo's biggest problem is mom and dad not being able to get a Wii for the family, and instead buying x number of DSes for each of the kids?

    I wish I had these kinda problems!

  2. Re:PC Style on PlayStation 3 Gets Software Update On Launch Day · · Score: 1

    but..the patch is to add support for the online service. if you're not going to have your PS3 hooked to the internet, i'm not exactly seeing the problem in not being able to get it.

  3. Re:Why? on Star Wars Galaxies Emulator Test Server Hits Alpha · · Score: 1

    it worked for UO, so i'm looking forward to it.

  4. RIS/RIPREP on Creating XP Disk Images w/ Company Applications? · · Score: 1

    don't have the link to any docs off the top of my head, but this is what we use at our office here, its what you describe except pulled down from a network server when needed via PXE LAN booting. works pretty good.

  5. Re:Hopefully they'll have stuff from the 90's on Guitar Hero II Announced · · Score: 1

    by my count, out of the 30 licensed songs in the game, six were from the 80s..

  6. nice link on The Oblivion of Western RPGs · · Score: 4, Informative

  7. Re:Not Just Laptops on Longer Laptop Battery Life under Linux · · Score: 1

    check out the Cool'n'Quiet technology in the AMD64 processor line.

  8. Re:Did I miss something? on The Power of Portable Gaming · · Score: 1

    Tengen released an unlicensed version, Nintendo had an official version. lawsuits ensue.

  9. Re:MouseBoard? on Infinium Phantom Lapboard Coming to PC? · · Score: 1

    it's not much worse, judging by the picture. i can't figure out a way to hold that that seems like it would be comfortable in my mind.

    also, woo, 4 days in and we have our first phantom story of the year!

  10. craziest summary ever on MMOG Lingo Twists Tongues · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    can anyone tell me what the heck i just read?

  15. Re:Knowing hackers... on New PSP Firmware with Built-In Web Browser · · Score: 1

    as far as the compilation errors, yep. =D

  16. Re:Knowing hackers... on New PSP Firmware with Built-In Web Browser · · Score: 1

    i tried sorta half heatedly to compile the firefox source using the psp toolkit and failed, obviously. but i'm sure some other people with a bit more knowledge have tried, seen the errors, and worked at it.

    judging by the other ports we've seen, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see a firefox port. i think the tcp/ip interface on the wi-fi still hasn't been figured out though, so that's probably where most of the effort is concentrated.

  17. summary is correct: no homebrew yet! on New PSP Firmware with Built-In Web Browser · · Score: 4, Informative

    if you're still sitting on your 1.5 bios psp and enjoying emulators and source ports of old games, you may want to hang on for a while before the upgrade. sure you'll get a browser, but until someone comes up with a work around for 2.0 (no hints so far) you may be stuck for a while.

    but hey i'm sure somebody will figure it out eventually. hopefully before new games start forcing you to upgrade to 2.0 to play.

  18. Re:MSNBC Commentator is a jackass on Shuttle Discovery Lifts Off · · Score: 1

    still better than watching it on the local highschool a/v club-quality news we get on the local channel (channel 13 in orlando).

    at least we got to go up on the roof to see it and didn't have to bother with any talking heads.

  19. Re:Best PSP Emulator Site? on PC Keyboard Connected to PSP · · Score: 1

    at this point PSP Updates most likely.

  20. Re:WTF? on PC Keyboard Connected to PSP · · Score: 1

    don't forget source ports of Doom, Doom 2, and ScummVM running at 100% more or less, as well as working VNC, FTP, and IRC apps. not bad for a few month old system.

    it seems i spend more time playing homebrews on it than i do on playing 'real' games.

  21. Re:Conspiracy! on Google Moon Debuts · · Score: 1

    that blurb refers to backyard telescopy. the Apollo 17 lander and its shadow are visible in this shot:

  22. Re:Conspiracy! on Google Moon Debuts · · Score: 5, Informative

    i hope this doesn't break this site, because it doesn't belong to me.

    Exploring the Apollo Landing Sites

    lets you click thru pictures to zoom in farther and farther, using pics from earth- and orbit-based telescopes, as well as photos from the orbiters and command modules.

    some are good enough resolution that you can see the lander, albeit barely. you can see the rover tracks in all of them though.

  24. Re:The future is Flash? on The Onion in 2056 · · Score: 1

    Imagine this this - in 50 years we will have to watch a full screen, un-skipable comercial in order to get to slashdot - and then another one to read the comments. That's what I call progress!

    you mean any IGN site for the past two years?

  25. Re:At last!!! on Linux For Losers According To De Raadt · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was always imbarrased for using windows. I would hide in the corner at coffee shops with my toshiba laptop hiding from the disapointing eyes of those harolded mac users. But now I am free. Loosers use linux, not windows. Hurray!!

    ...wow. i'm not normally one to go nazi on spelling, but good lord.
