  1. Missing poll option: on Microsoft [to patent] Verb Conjugation · · Score: 1

    d) all of the above

  2. This is a defeat for pasta on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover. If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, you just rejected Him from your city. And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted Pasta out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His noodly forgivness because he might not be there.

  3. Think of the Children! on Top Level .xxx Domain Concept Under Scrutiny · · Score: 1

    I didn't RTFA, but it's pretty obvious that an .xxx TLD would would lessen the chance of exposure of pornography to minors.

    It doesn't take a Yale-educated parent to realize that blocking .xxx could shield young children from damaging material.

    I fail to see why anyone would oppose this.

    Everything explodes. Everything.

    First Corrallary
    Anything that explodes bulges first.
    Second Corrallary
    Large cities are the most explosive substances known to human science. Tokyo in particular seems to be the most unstable of these cities, sometimes referred to as "The Matchstick City".

    Tokyo, AKA "The Match-Stick City."

  6. Re:Closing my Anime store today on The Business of Anime · · Score: 1

    Who shops at a store with "otaku" in the title. That's similar to admitting that you post regularly on Slashdot.

  7. OFQ on Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine · · Score: 1

    You watched it! You can't unwatch it!

  8. Re:Amen to that! on Operation Fastlink Nets 1000s in Pirate Sting · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Unauthorized copying isn't stealing.
    Does that make it any less illegal? Let's at least agree that arguing over semantics is not a valid debate tactic.
  9. Friendly reminder on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 5, Funny

    Remember to stress these points when making flamebait posts about Halo 2:

    1. Same tired gameplay
    2. Repetition
    3. The console FPS ALWAYS sucks

    Thank you.

  10. Say what? on Supernova Imaged by Hubble Telescope · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Really, the first thing I saw when I read the headline was "Suprnova Imaged by Hubble Telescope." I had to read the blurb a couple of times to realize that the article is about Astronomy, not the proliferation of software piracy.

  11. Re:Who would pay for this? on ATITD2 Early Impressions · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You just described 90% of MMORPGs. Personally, I prefer a MMOG with a fabrication system gone beserk to a game that expects you to spend days leveling your character.

  12. Alternate title on Meet Joe Blog · · Score: 5, Funny

  13. Resitance is futile. on Scotts Testing Genetically Modified Grass · · Score: 2, Funny

    I believe the environmentalists are more afraid that the mutant grass will become self-aware and begin to assimilate native grasses into some sort of "collective".

  14. Re:Interesting idea on Animal Social Complexity - Intelligence and Culture · · Score: 2, Informative

    That depends on what opne considers "culture." Coincidentally, I just started taking an elective in cultural anthropology. One of the first things we discussed in the class was animals and culture. It seems that chimpanzees can actually use tree branches to dig termites out of their mounds. I know this isn't new, but I think that learned tool use is at least the beginnings of culture.

  15. Re:And this will be useful because? on Gamecube Linux Port Announced, In Progress · · Score: 1

    Why not just buy an Xbox and screw Microsoft over?

    I have a Gamecube. I have PSO. And--indeed--I have the broadband adapter.

    I do not have $200.00 of expendable income.

  16. Re:Its alivee on Gamecube Linux Port Announced, In Progress · · Score: 1

    The linux port should help widen the gamecube's appeal to more people

    I'm doubtful of that. We as nerds ceased to fuel the video game market years ago. The modern console owner knows nothing of linux, let alone porting it into his or her Gamecube.

  17. The Eternal Answer on Gamecube Linux Port Announced, In Progress · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why not?

    This will add a lot of functionality to an aging piece of hardware. Why go out and build/buy a media center when you can just port linux onto an old Gamecube?

  18. Don't Complain. on Gamers Are Good People, Too · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It may not "News for Nerds," but it certainly is "Stuff that matters."

  19. Re:Great, another anime topic.. on Want Anime Network on Your Cable System? · · Score: 1

    40% will be regarding dubs vs subs, and how American actors couldn't splutter out a few lines to save their rear ends, while Japanese seiyuu are suddenly God's gift to voicework. Hint: Just because it's in a language you don't know, does not automatically make voice acting good.

    Hmmm. I guess I'll have to work that 40%. For me, it's not that the voice-acting is any better. It's that I'm more accustomed to japanese voices. Try watching "Sabre Marionette J" or "Slayers" sub-titled, and then watching them dubbed a day later. At this point, the american voice actors seem like nails-on-a-chalkboard...

  20. Re:What is wrong with all you people? on Want Anime Network on Your Cable System? · · Score: 1

    ...and Chuck Jones Warner Bros. is a 10...

    Gah, you have obviously never seen Furi Kuri(FLCL). The animation beats out ANY Chuck Jones/Warner Bros. cartoon.

    Seriously though, it seems that you are limiting what you watch just so you can give anime a bad rap. I get the feeling you watch DBZ fandubbed(Augh!) daily, just so you stoke your firey hatred for anime.

  21. Ouch. on Working as a Game Tester · · Score: 1

    Imagine the incidence rate for eye and wrist related diseases. +60-hours a week in front of a television, wrestling with an uncomfortable controller, all the while squinting 'cause your vision is in a downward spiral.
