    Update: North Korea has also announced plans to switch over its 3 computers to open souce software...

  2. not looking forward... on TRON Enters Alliance With Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm not looking forward to the BSOD on my toaster...

  3. Final straw on RIAA Parses 'P2P' As 'Peer 2 Porn' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is it. This is the straw that broke the camels back in my mind. We need to find a way to get everyone to fight the RIAA with us. I'm registeringwith the EFF... I need to know what to do next. What are the most effective methods of protest (short of a suicide bombing).

  4. Huh? on Quake IV Tidbits Revealed · · Score: 1

    "Quake IV is primarily a single-player focused game which will be continued on a near storyline from Quake II"

    Quake II had a storyline?

  5. Re:spyware? on Truck Dismount One-Ups Stair Dismount · · Score: 1

    what good would a keylogger do? how many people log into their bank account or make credit card purchases while playing this game?

  6. Re:NASA funded? on SETI Gains Respect, NASA Funding · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you look at budget summaries for 2003 compared to the proposed 2004 budget (or maybe its 2002 and proposed 2003) the funding for NASA increased a good percentage (10% if i remember correctly).

  7. Re:Player's body on Half-Life 2 Mod Creation FAQ Released · · Score: 1

    The problem comes down to the hit on preformance that would occur from implementing that minor feature. If i remember right, the game that came closest to that was unreal, or maybe it was that dinosuar game... anyways you could look down and see your character's chest.

  8. Recent events on World's Deepest-Diving Unmanned Submarine Lost · · Score: 0

    I am concerned about the recent setbacks in many scientific fields. With the loss of the Challenger, the crash of the Helios, and now this, it makes me wonder what next.

  9. Other robots on On the Gripping Hand · · Score: 1

    They have some other cool robots on that site that can catch falling balls.

  10. simpsons reference... on 150 Mbit/s DSL. · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe HE can provide faster nudity...

  11. Not original on Get Hitched In Phantasy Star Online · · Score: 1

    You can already do this in Anarchy Online... check the link here.

  12. Exactly on Postal 2 Not Violent Enough? · · Score: 1

    The author hit the nail on the head. he decribed exactly how i feel about this game. It is basically a 3d Postal 1. There were so many opportunities where thye could have made it so much more shocking, and sadly they wimped out. I was dissapointed.

  13. No Way on The Top 25 Squaresoft Games Ever? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That list was ILLEGITIMATE. They ranked Final Fantasy 8 OVER Final Fantasy 9. Every single person i've talked to thought that FF8 was the worst one of the entire series. 9 is my personal favorite. I could see it in the top 25, but NEVER in the top 5 and ESPECIALLY not higher than 9.

  14. super size? on 3D "Crystal Ball" Monitors · · Score: 1

    i would be interested to know if anyone has planned to create an oversized version of the volumetric 3d display? it would much much more usefull, and to make it couldnt you just scale up the technology?

  15. Re:It's a gimmick on Could E-Voting Cure Voter Apathy? · · Score: 1

    that is completely and utterly untrue. yes, hitler did rise to power semi-legally, but he used bully tactics. he had a small police force of 1 million go around and beat up all the communists, liberals, etc until no one opposed him. then, he took advantage of a dying old leader and got himself appointed chancellor. get your facts straight. proportional representation was NOT how hitler came to power.

  16. Re:Where's the news value in this? on Aussies Face Jail Over MP3s · · Score: 1

    The news value, is that there is no actuall theft in this crime. Also, there havent been many cases of this kind, and millions of people around the world break similar laws every day.

  17. no fun on Aussies Face Jail Over MP3s · · Score: 1

    Let's hope they don't try for the maximum penalty. 5 years for mp3s? i cant even imagine what that would be like... but maybe that's what they want.

  18. Wow on Robotic Massage, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    The strangest things passed through my mind when I read "Robotic Massage".

  19. Re:Lazy on Endless Liquid Refreshment · · Score: 1

    im just saying... im so lazy that if i had to choose between replacing the syrup and getting another can of soda, i would choose getting another can 100 times before replacing syrup... especially when you have a mini fridge right next to the computer.

  20. Lazy on Endless Liquid Refreshment · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It would be a million times worse to replace the syrup than get a new can/bottle of soda when it runs out, even if it is only every week or so. Plus, fountain soda is definitely not as good as canned/bottled soda.

  21. Repost? on First Certified DivX/DVD Player Released · · Score: 1

    here and here. you decide

  22. dont forget on Teach A Robot To Drive, Win A Million Bucks · · Score: 1

    Dont forget that you will also have to create a navigation mechanism, so it actually end up in Las Vegas and not Seattle.

  23. What? on Europe Heads for the Moon in July · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This isn't a race. In case you forgot, we visited the moon over 30 years ago. The value of a trip now wouldn't justify the cost. I fully support the space program and realize its importance, but realistically the only reason it's around is for the boost it gives to nationalism.

  24. comparasin on Computer Made From DNA And Enzymes · · Score: 1

    Im curious to know how these compare to quantum computers.

  25. reminds me... on Salon Asks for Help · · Score: 1

    Does this remind anyone else of what Mandrake did a while back?
