  1. Re:Verifying the Theory on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 1

    "C'mon McFly, unless you're... chicken!" *DUN!*

  2. The good, and the ugly, there is no bad. on Mario and Zelda Cartoons on DVD · · Score: 1

    Mario = So Groood!
    Zelda = Jesus God WHY?

  3. Songs? on Archos Widescreen PMP · · Score: 1

    For those who RTFA, man I can't wait to get all those songs off my video camera onto my Archos AV700! =P

  4. Re:Obvious... on Nintendo Won't Pull A Sega · · Score: 1

    And DS have swept the floor with PSP, in both in terms of sales and money earnt...

    I'd hope so considering the DS has been out longer than the PSP...

  5. Controller - Apple Bandai PiPPiN on PlayStation 3 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    The controller has a slight resemblance to the Apple Bandai's failed PiPPiN console.

  6. Problem users eh? on Handling Viruses in an Uncontrolled Network? · · Score: 1

    Identify all the problem users and restrict them collectively to 1Mb of shared bandwidth.

    Or you could do what my school does, if you identify them in time shut off their connection and notify them via snail-mail/phone why their connection was shut off, what steps they need to take to rectify it and how they can contact you so you can verify they fixed the problem.

  7. Re:what a waste on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    You can already read how the elections were rigged.

  8. iPod killer? on Nokia Announces Hard-Drive Phone · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cos we all know how well the Ngage did in the portable games market.

    Hint: not too well.

  9. Everything...? on Forty Years of Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    "Everything that can be invented has been invented."

    --Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899.

  10. "Food Service"? on CSU Chico Identities Compromised · · Score: 1

    It was a computer in the Housing and Food Services department. Not a vending machine.

  11. Actually... on CSU Chico Identities Compromised · · Score: 1

    Chico State has one of the highest per capita of parents per student than other CSUs and UCs. You can tell, when you see the BMWs, Mercedes', and to a lesser extent '05 Mustangs parked in the freshmen lots. This isn't the first time either something like this has happened. A couple of years ago a former employee for the staff/faculty tech support organization stole all the information he could get his hands on, got caught trying to sell it.

  12. Durnit! on Women Leaving I.T. · · Score: 1

    Now when I call tech/customer support for a company I won't be able to ask as often now, "So, are you married?"

  13. Re:Meta-hoax on Was the Lokitorrent Suit a Hoax? · · Score: 1

    Word. Up.

    And yeah, Napoleon Dynamite if anything shows up that a movie can be made for a shoestring and buttons and still be excellent.

  14. The bell that rings every 6 months? on Can TiVo be Saved? · · Score: 1

    Is it me or do these "TiVo death watch" things come up every 6 months or so for some reason or another? I know people who work at TiVo, and the last time I asked them about the whole "TiVo is dying" thing that showed up a couple of months ago they told me they come up now and again usually because people who write those articles are obviously oblivious to new and strange things that are happening on the inside without their knowledge. Granted I don't work for TiVo myself, nor do I even own one or watch tv but when these things run like a bi-annual bell I think its kind of silly.

  15. Re:don't have TiVo... Yet on Can TiVo be Saved? · · Score: 1

    They make their money off of the subscriptions as opposed to the hardware. Like the console games industry makes money from games rather than the hardware.

  16. Re:Can you click? on Gaming With a Headmouse? · · Score: 1

    As a seque, Universities won't be funding much of anything these days with all the budget cuts to education.

  17. Re:Conspiracy Theory on More Cell Processor Details And First Pictures · · Score: 1

    Maybe then that damned Halo-RTS game would finally come out. I've been waiting years for it!

  18. Been there, done that. on List of Polish Spies Leaked On The Internet · · Score: 1

    It's equivalent to an American saying "I don't care if I put CIA/FBI agent's lives in danger".

    The Novak/Plame situation: http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/09/29/novak.ci a/

  19. Re:Titles not otherwise available? on Fansubbers Under Fire · · Score: 1

    Suppose you reverse the situation and take some obscure English Language cartoons and have a Japanese translator 'sub them and distribute them for money in the Japanese Islands.

    Yeah that does sound bad... except that fansub groups don't distribute for money, they distribute for free. You may be confusing the many Hong Kong outfits which are known to take a fansub groups release, put them on DVD, and then sell them. Back before net distribution was feasible fansub groups would distribute via VHS, and yes they would charge. For the tape, and the shipping, that was it. The object of a fansub group is to distribute anime that is not licensed State-side, instead of having to wait what is now months, or what used to be easily years (before anime was "in") before a studio would pick the anime for "professional" translation and distribution.

    Fansubbing is not about making money. It's about translating and distributing anime to folks who don't speak Japanese and want to see it when it comes out instead of hoping, often in vain, for a state-side distribution company to pick up the rights to it a few years down the road after its release.

  20. Unlicensed anime only on Fansubbers Under Fire · · Score: 1

    "[fansubbers] take Japanese cartoons, translate and subtitle them in English, and release them freely on the Net."

    To expand more accurately on that, fansubbers take unlicensed/undistributed (outside of Japan) anime movies/series', translate and subtitle them in English and release them freely onto the net until that anime is licensed/distributed by a publisher (ADV, Manga, Pioneer, Central Park Media, etc) at which point they halt translation/distribution of said anime movie/series.

  21. Re:Crimsonland... shudder... on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    Most disturbing game ever made

    Never played any of the Silent Hill series have you?

  22. I'll start my stop watch. on Security Issues in Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Considering how much OSS freaks rake MicroSoft over the coals over how long it takes them to fix their security problems, I'd expect to see these fixed later today.

    ... Not to say that's what the good people at Mozilla are like, damn fine product Firefox for Windows is.

  23. DVD Decrypter on Welcome to the Future of DRM Media · · Score: 1

    I hope the folks who at DVD Decrypter update it so it will strip a DVD of all these cumbersome programs and such also.

  24. Re:A scary prescedent? on Cyberlibel Damages Awarded In Canada · · Score: 1

    That's because only saying "CmdrTaco is an asshole" is just an opinion. Where if you say he uses the subscription money to fund his drug habit you're making claims on his actions/actions had/actions to be had?

  25. Re:Bemani? Argh! on Gamers Unite for Video Game Olympics · · Score: 1

    Europe also.

    There known as "Dancing Stage." Exact same game, just different name.

    Konami also released Dance Dance Revolution in Korea to directly compete with Pump It Up, licensing Korean pop songs even for what came to be known as Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix Korean and 3rd Mix Korean Version 2.
