  1. Re:A witness turned him in?!? on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: 5, Insightful

    By your rationale, we should start caning graffiti artists in the US because that would be "something of a deterrent."
    It's not a matter of whether he is guilty or not, but whether he is going to get a punishment that will fit the crime.
    I wouldn't be surprised if the media makes this out into another Kevin Mitnick scenario.

  2. Re:Er... on Auerbach on Internet Cruft · · Score: 1

    what kind of name is that for a dark lord? couldn't you come up with something a little darker?

    I think he means something like:

    Hershey's Special Dark Lord Seth

  3. Re:No to patents of concepts on Plugin Patent to Mean Changes in IE? · · Score: 1

    Your first paragraph has many good points, but I have to disagree with the last two paragraphs.

    exactly accordingly to the Moor's law when they worth half of their original

    I think Moore's law says that the number of transisters will double - it says nothing about the pricing unless there is a "Moor's law" that I don't know about.
    Dropping patents altogether is a bad idea - who is going to invest in the R&D if they can't own the rights to it. Would you like to spend a year inventing something just to have someone look at how you did it and duplicate it without any effort?

  4. Pictures of other homemade cockpits on Junji Hirayama 's Home Flight Simulator · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Links to other projects

    Tons of pictures of other pretty cool looking homemade cockpits.

  5. Re:This just in!!! on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1

    I was already gagging the moment I saw the movie poster. I wanted to write "GET A ROOM" on it.

  6. Depends... on Creatine Found to Boost Brainpower · · Score: 5, Funny

    Rubber duckies don't count

  7. Shmups! on 2D Shmups - History, Prospects? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just in case you haven't figured it out yet. You can find out a great deal more about 2d shootemups on
    www.shmups.com

  8. exercise while at your desk on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 1

    If you're sitting at a desk, extend your legs slowly until the are fully extended and then slowly lower them. Keep doing this all day and your lower half can be in a ZZtop video.

  9. Re:Quite on Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged · · Score: 2, Funny

    Exactly what kind of programs, and what programs, have a need for more than 2GB of RAM?

    Probably Minesweeper on Microsoft's next OS.

  10. Re:Cookie and Cream on Two Players, One Console, Cooperative Play? · · Score: 1

    There should be a new -1 Sexually Insecure moderation.

  11. Re:Two Words on Two Players, One Console, Cooperative Play? · · Score: 1

    Marble madness is not a cooperative game like the author requested. I remember playing this and there was some fierce competition.

  12. Re:"Finally... on Genetically Engineered Pets Hit the Market · · Score: 1

    Well, if I could lick my own genitals, I'd be my own best friend, too. Yeah, if I could do that, I'd never leave the house. You better not do that after you leave the house.

  13. Re:Coding in my sleep on Ageism in IT? · · Score: 1

    I would think that if you do anything enough you start to dream about it. I don't know about everybody else, but I sometimes find solutions to problems in that half-alseep state that you get when you wake up but are not ready to get out of bed yet. I've dreamt of coding in my sleep and came up with solutions to problems that I was having the day before. I'm not sure if you refer to coding in your sleep as a factual thing or sleep being something that is a handicap to your coding.

  14. Re:they've been lying to us on Investigating Angular Velocity · · Score: 2, Funny


    I think you would do it sort of like the prime number shitting bear.

  15. RTFA on Foundstone Shoe On Other Foot · · Score: 1

    Foundstone is not in trouble for having outdated software on their server. They are in trouble for having software that can be purchased, but they decided to distribute either unlicensed copies or copies that only had one license.

  16. pointy haired boss on Careers For Supervising Game Designers? · · Score: 1

    So.. basically, you want to tell programmers how they should program and tell artists how to draw with barely any knowledge of how a programmer programs and barely any knowledge of how an artist creates art. I think you should go read Dilbert. See what the pointy haired boss does and see if that's what you want to be doing for a living.

  17. Robotic Carpet on Electrolux Robot Vacuum Cleaner · · Score: 1

    If you had a robotic carpet, you would never have to worry about having to vacuum. All you would have to do is turn it on for a few seconds and the whole thing would be clean. You could also get rid of the deepest dirt. If you reverse the flow you could also play air hockey on your carpet. How awesome would that be?

  18. Re:Expensive on Metroid Prime Done Quick · · Score: 1

    RTFA - He said that he has finished the game more than 10 times already. He lost count after the 10th time.

  19. Chop suey not chop sticks on Is .NET Relevant to Game Developers? · · Score: 1

    He is thinking about chop suey - not fortune cookies like others have speculated.
    There is an extensive article about the history of chop suey on snopes.com that refers to it being served to miners during the 1800's.

  20. Re:Does anyone remember?? on Barcodes: The Number of the Beast · · Score: 1


    Sounds familiar. There is another toy that exists that uses the same idea. It's Skannerz by Radica.

  21. less Richard, more Ron on Symantec Claims They Knew About Slammer In Advance · · Score: 1

    If you witness a crime being committed and don't alert the authorities, then you're an accessory to the crime. If you witness the results of the crime, that doesn't necessarily make you an accessory to the crime. By your logic you could get arrested for seeing graffiti on the wall because grafitti is a crime.

    oh - one more thing... emphasis in ALL CAPS does NOT make you smarter ;)

  22. psx images on Finally, A Working NES! · · Score: 1

    People post dumps of psx games already on alt.binaries.cd.image.playstation and alt.binaries.cd.image.playstation.repost - all you need is a decent news server and a fast connection.

  23. there is... on Nokia's Cellular GBA - The N-Gage · · Score: 1

    only one gadget in my pants that I carry with me always. Everything else is just an overpriced and unsatisfying substitute.
