  1. In other words... on Do Gamers Enjoy Dying in First-Person-Shooters? · · Score: 1

    In other words, gamers relax during lull in fighting.

  2. Radio? on Radio May Have To Pay To Play · · Score: 1

    People still listen to radio?

    Now, if only the could figure out how to get my car to stop beeping every time I take off my seatbelt at a toll booth or drive through window.

  4. Re:it's tghe next Y2k on IPv4 Unallocated Addresses Exhausted by 2010 · · Score: 1

    We have five years left? Why am I running IPv6 already!

  5. Wasted electricity on A "Bill of Lights" to Restrict LEDs on Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the wasted electricity that is added to our already humming devices.

  6. abolish copyright on You Can't Oppose Copyright and Support Open Source · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who are these amazing people that want to abolish copyright?

  7. Take-Two Table Tennis? on Publishers Scrambling for Wii Titles · · Score: 0

    Will Take-Two be releasing Table Tennis for the Wii?

  8. Re:Huh? on Mathematician Predicts Yankees To Dominate · · Score: 0

    Yeah, it's too bad this guy couldn't have gotten a job at the now defunct PEAR Institute.

  9. Re:Rebellious? on Take Two's Board Ousted by Shareholders · · Score: 0

    You have to be detached from reality to not be able to tell the difference between proper interaction with real human beings and a video game.

  10. Re:To each their own. on Many Americans Still Don't Have Home Net Access · · Score: 0

    I feel the exact same way about reading, basic arithmetic, knowing how to drive an automobile properly, the age of consent laws, and proper personal hygiene.

  11. 20 foot VGA cord on Apple TV Already Being Hacked · · Score: 0

    Can somebody tell me how Apple TV is somehow better than buying a long VGA cord and hooking it up to my TV. I mean, sure, most TV's don't have VGA inputs, so the Apple TV wins out on connection method. And most people don't have an extra video card, and where are they going to buy that. Heck most people don't even have a computer in the same room as their TV, and it's a good thing that Apple TV cost less than the price of a minimal computer.

  12. damn state schools... on Internet Curfew for College Students? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    These students are not being worked hard enough.

  13. the site on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 0

    Weird, the site is http://www.profanejustice.com/, which has a blank robots.txt, and is just a frame for http://the-united-states-of-america.net/projustice . And I cannot find the copyright notice or contract anywhere.

  14. Re:Hmmm... is this the same Jimbo Wales who... on Wikipedia May Require Proof of Credentials · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your post lacks citations.

  15. Re:Actually... it doesn't delete your home directo on Software Deletes Files to Defend Against Piracy · · Score: 0

    Equally interesting is the fact that the three comments calling the program malware were posted withing five minutes of each other and all use the same language.

  16. Re:Also on Princeton ESP Lab to Close · · Score: -1, Troll

    How come you've only read enough of the FAQ to find ones that support your claims? Reading the rest of the FAQ clearly shows what an idiot you are, and you can also read the JREF challenge applications on their forums. Yeah, Randi sets the rules, and Randi is the judge. It's geniuses like you that makes life worth living. Offering a million dollars to anyone who can display any sort of paranormality is obviously a publicity stunt. And obviously pretending that paranormal events occur for your own personal gain is... what are the words I'm looking for?

  17. Don't believe the hype on Elder Scrolls Oblivion Gold · · Score: 0, Troll

    Will the game still be trivially easy?

  18. Cell phone viruses? on Anti-virus Vendors Eye Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    As long as the consumer can choose between: a) Cell phones which do not get viruses b) Cell phones which do get viruses and as long as an evil monopoly doesn't make every choose option b... God, I just hate anti-virus companies.

  19. Re:Yeesh.. on The Softening of a Software Man · · Score: 1

    No; when bad people do a few good things, that doesn't make them good people. You have to look at the whole picture.

  20. Global Cooling on Tropical Storm Zeta Forms in Atlantic · · Score: 1

    Quick! Let's blame every natural disaster on global warming! That way when there's lots of natural disasters, we know that global warming is occuring. Anyone remember Global Cooling?

  21. scratches on CD Ripping Services Compared · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Are there any services that will somehow magically correct the scratches on my CD's? Otherwise sending in my 300 disc collection is sort of worthless. (Guess who doesn't buy CD's anymore.)

  22. Bruckheimer vs reality on CSI Takes On Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 0
    I thought the idea of Jerry Bruckheimer producing a show that would have to be based upon the laws of physically reality would be pretty interesting, considering that his movies are geared towards people don't mind random the presentation of explosions as naturally occuring phenomenom. But when the CSI franchise got held back by having to stick with the facts when it comes to crime scene investigation, they have had no problem completely making things up when it comes to:
    • Drugs
    • Computers/The Internet
    • Gambling
    And now we're just adding video games to that list. The sad thing is that without the obvious departures from reality, the 10 minutes of montage in every show, and a few cases of terrible acting, CSI is actually a great show show.
  23. Re:Anxiety caused by too much caffeine. on Anxiety Disorders Discoverable by Blood Test · · Score: 0, Insightful

    There's a difference between anxiety and anxiety disorders. What you've written is completely off topic.

  24. Overreaction on Teacher Fired for P2P Lecture · · Score: 0

    That's it? In my day we were taught how to do buffer overflows, decrypt dvds, break encryption, subvert content filters (and had to code a proxy) and we had to actually code a p2p application. What exactly did this guy do wrong? Just seems like another day in Computer Science.
