  1. Link to screenshots on Star Wars Battlefront Announced, Detailed · · Score: 1

    http://www.playstationmagazine.com/slideshow/0,4 371,a=113620,00.asp

  2. old adage on Pencil 'Lead' Mightier than Diamonds? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    blah blah blah pen is mighter than the sword blah blah blah

  3. Durmstrangium on Element 110 Now Darmstadtium · · Score: 1

    Element 114 will be Durmstrangium, after the school of a certain proficient Quiddich player...

  4. titanic on Ice Sensor Protects Aircraft · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Adding one of these to Titanic (the movie) would have made it a really boring movie. Oh wait... well, I suppose the dude getting cut in half was pretty sweet.

  5. Error in part one on Game Franchises From The Ashes · · Score: 1

    In the section devoted to the Hall of the Mountain King (the game), there's a big error. In the Hall of the Mountain King (the song) was not Wagner, nor was it in the Ring Cycle. It's Grieg, part of the Peer Gynt Suite.

  6. ILL on Ten Years of Web Browsing · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    INI!

    Hail to the Orange, Hail to the Blue, Hail Alma Mater, Ever so true (so true). We love no other, so let our motto be Victory, Illinois, Varsity!

  7. SCO vs. Linux on SuSE may drop out of UnitedLinux · · Score: 1

    Is SCO even a friend to the Linux community anymore? What with this whole "It is not possible for Linux to rapidly reach UNIX performance standards without giving us all your money blah blah" crap, SuSe would be wise to distance themselves from SCO's bad decisions.

  8. Freespace 2 on Grand Theft Auto Released For Free · · Score: 1

    Check out Freespace 2, which is probably the the best mission based space sim of the last 5 years. Volition released its source and there's a linux port on the way.

  9. psycho tests on Half Mast · · Score: 1, Interesting

    That's not really NORMAL. You have to have a predisposition to psychosis AND be a nerd in order to flip out with a gun. We need less people blaming parents and more people advocating psycho tests instead of standardized academic testing.

  10. Prediction on ATM Iris Recognition Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    I predict that this starts a sudden rash of de-eyeings, ala that bad movie with Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone. Call me Nostradamus.

  11. Document DRM vs. other DRM on Digital Restrictions Management in Office 11 · · Score: 1

    I don't mind being limited in options set BY THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT AUTHOR. However, being restricted by record company head several steps removed from actual artists is bad. With that said, there hasn't been a conservative, constructive, new, non-bloatware feature in the Office suite since about 1997. It doesn't seem like this trend will end anytime soon.

  12. The Romanticizing of "The Linux Uprising" on The Linux Uprising · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think it's pretty funny how everybody is trying to make this whole topic into a "underdog is always the good guy" Rebel Alliance versus Evil Empire thing. I think once mainstream people understand that big businesses use linux, lots of it's out-of-the-way appeal will be lessened.

  13. Re:How do banks secure ATM lines? on Citibank Tries to Hush ATM Crypto Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    http://www.sgpd.com/Crime_Prevention/ATM_Security/ atm_security.html "Shield" with your body. I think this would do more to increase security than anything else.
