  1. Good thing on New Ad Technology Tracks Consumer Movement · · Score: -1

    The Human Locator can't yet identify, say, obese pedestrians and then bombard them with images of a cheeseburger and fries.

    Good thing too, the resulting stampedes would kill the remaining skinny people, and there would be a clown in the white house... oh wait! O_o

    You can get illegal cable hookups in your car now? Wow, the marvels of modern technology.

  4. Wow on SCO Caps Legal Expenses At $31 Million · · Score: 0

    I need to start a company called Big Time Corperation so I can pull some of that shit. I'll go around town with a few hundred bucks, buying everything I see, telling every store clerk that my payment will not exceed 31 dollars!

    "Sir, we have a 1337 dude" on line one." So what are the phones companies going to do after this goes into wide usages? Call the service Caller-Maybe? It rhymes.

  8. Like it really matters.... on Verisign's Lawsuit Against ICANN Dismissed · · Score: 0, Troll


    Had they won this case, SCO would have claimed ownership of Verizon and took it down anyways. It's a "serivce"(ha) so damn bad, that even intarweb surfers can come up with 15 techy reasons why it sucks.

    Had there been a better judge, Verizon would have had to give up on .com and hand it over to someone half competant, and in it's place they would get control over .pwned.

  9. Hmmm... on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    Half Life 2 Preload / Bullshit overload.

    Am I the only one who doesn't care about Half Life at this point? Half Life and CS to me is the game that attracts all the hackers and lamers, while letting me play my other games in peace.

    Screw the net! I spend all my time on teh intarweb!

  11. Bitches on How 8 Pixels Cost Microsoft Millions · · Score: 1

    Isn't it the truth though? Aren't we all microsoft's bitches? Microsoft, at this point could just just do a massive search and replace in their software, changing the word user to bitch all over the place.

  12. Real Reason on Microsoft Renovates Office Suite as a Web Service · · Score: 2, Funny

    The real reason Office will be hosted online, is that Longhorn will require so much harddrive space to install, that you won't have room for any programs of your own. If you install a bigger hard drive, the swap file will immediaetly eat it up. :)

  17. Re:Year 2004 is the year of Linux desktop! on Time to Try a Linux Desktop? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And the year before that? This is a tired old argument that never goes nowhere. Why do people think they can keep writing the same article over and over and because of it, people will start converting to Linux in droves?

  18. Once on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    Once, I painted my monitor screen blue. That way I didn't have to turn on the computer to run windows.

  19. Re:Security on Custom DVDs & Players For Academy Members · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Throw all that stuff on the disc. And while they are at it, maybe they can throw on a movie too.

    Then again, maybe if they sent out blank disc, they would get better reviews. "Nothing is better than Gigli!"

  20. Ladies and Gentelmen on How To Avoid Viruses At Windows Install Time? · · Score: 1

    And the BSOD award for the only person in the world able to fuck up a simple Windows install goes to... (Just kidding!)

    Can't you download the updates you need on another machine, and move them over? Failing that, use a knoppix CD or something and download them into a folder until you can boot up XP?

  23. Re:WTF on Thief 3 Deadly Shadows Bug Neuters In-Game AI · · Score: 1

    I agree. The first game was great wether you liked the series or not. Somehow the team that handled the second (Eurocom?) Destroyed the second game. They messed around the the engine. The most annoying thing is that the CAMERA COLIDES WITH THE LEVEL GEOMETRY! Killed the game. Also the fact that the actual fighting controls were nerfed didn't help.

  24. Re:WTF on Thief 3 Deadly Shadows Bug Neuters In-Game AI · · Score: 5, Informative

    Ah WWF No Mercy. About 50% of the cartrdiges had bad batteries causing the games to lose all their save data. It really sucks when a year and a half of stats and create-a-wrestlers disapear.

    Morrowind was more tolerable. At least nothing was ever lost. Well.. except maybe all the loading time from reseting after crashes.

    WWE RAW2 - Game is so buggy at times it's barely playable. At times you literally lose control of your character. How nice. The PC will often try to pin the player in excess of 20 times in a row. The player is unable to get up in between these pinnings. Basically it's 5 minutes of button mashing and cursing. :) Every season mode match at exactly the 3:00 mark, every single enemy of yours in the league will run in to interfere in your match.. except.. THEY ATTACK YOUR OPPONENT! The poor AI and bad programming make playing anything but a normal match pointless. But oh well.. that's my only choice so I have to enjoy it for what it is, and be thankful that the dev team was fired.

    Buffy 2: Chaos Bleeds - Check out the official message boards. You will see the same repated messages over and over. In on mode you can't play more than 5 minutes most of the time without a crash. In the story mode / single player game most copies would lock up the console at the same specific points for all users. Nothing was ever done about it. It really sucks constantly replaying through 2 hour levels and having it crash right before the end.
    The only way I could see all of the game was to get a game save from the xbox mag that had all levels opened. The first game was great, but this sequel was handed off to another team who complettly killed it off.

    I know of a few more. But I don't own them, so I can't do the bugs justice. :)
