  1. Re:These dancing robots that preserve the culture. on Dancing Robots Help Preserve Japanese Culture · · Score: 2, Funny

    And if they were redone by these guys, could it do Mosh Mosh Revolution ?

    No sig for you!

  2. Re:How very ironic... on ATITD2 Early Impressions · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Gamespot reviewed "Real Life" once. It got a 9.6, but that's a really subjective opinion....

  3. Re:Tried an Obecalp Spray? on Hardware That Literally Doesn't Stink? · · Score: 1

    haha! "Obecalp Spray" is a GoogleWhack!

    OK, slightly OT, but:

  5. How long more before PS2 version released? on Gran Turismo's PSP Conversion Gets Details, Video · · Score: 1

    Article says: "Gran Turismo 4 is apparently around 75% complete and still on course for a release by years end".

    But it's been pushed back so many times with so many movies, demos, and even them preview releases (Preview and the Toyota preview), I wonder if they won't mind holding it back for simultaneous release with the PSP version..

    They might as well name it "Gran Turismo Forever"

  7. Re:Is it just me... on Building Your Own Extra-Large Keyboard · · Score: 1

    How about a giant, flat, version of a one-handed *chording* keyboard?

    So now you got to breakdance to type!

    And to give it street cred, it's got to be made out of corrugated cardboard.

  8. Re:Wasting money on Open Source? on When Think Tanks Attack · · Score: 1

    Wow. That number didn't look right, so I had to dig up my copy of Wired. Here are the stats:

    Price of Windows in the World: (Country : Hours worked)

    • Japan: 9
    • USA: 13
    • Chile: 94
    • South Korea : 176
    • Russia : 219
    • China (urban) : 390
    • Ukraine : 510
    • BANGLADESH : 1106
    • MALAWI : 1658

    According to the Malaysian Department of Statistics, the Gross National Income per Capita for Malaysia is RM 14838. At RM3.8 = US$1, that works out to around US $ 2 per hour.

    So it would cost a Malaysian 150 hours for a US$300 copy of Windows XP Pro.

    Of course, the issue is that a copy of Windows XP goes for about US$5 at any half decent shopping mall around here. ^_^

  10. Re:My question is why? on Mementos as Document Retrieval Keys · · Score: 1

    I'd imagine that the mementos are supposed to be tokens from events of significance, not a key for your file system. You'd use the seashell as a token from your honeymoon in Hawaii or something.
    Seeing that people already keep mementos of key events at home, a scanner like this sitting in a living room can enhance those memories by allowing your "media hub" PC to immediately recall pictures, sounds, or videos of that event.

    I haven't thought of a witty sig yet.
