  1. Re:Sad Facts on Become a Professional Gamer · · Score: 1

    What is it with this belief that winning money will make it less fun? I've won a few local gaming tournamnets, and boy does it feel good. Not only can you say you beat the other people, but you got their money too. Winning money in gaming is HEAVEN!

  2. Re:You totally missed the point. on Swedish Pirate Demo · · Score: 1

    "Freedom is being able to say "no thanks"" I said no thanks to the Iraq war. "Again, if they thought it was worth it in the first place, there'd be no reason to tax them." Unless they wanted a service handled in a non-profit government, which would offer the service cheaper

  3. Re:Neato! on New Darth Vader Costume Revealed in upcoming DVDs · · Score: 1

    No, we can't buy the box set of the originals. Only the special edition of the first three movies is coming out on dvd. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty pissed at the fact the originals are just being covered up. They were the only good star wars movies, and they should be saved for the posterity. Granted, the special editions are pretty much the same movie, but when you modify old movies like that you ruin their original charm. I'd buy the old movies on DVD in a second, but I can't say the same for the special editions.

  4. Re:Combat robots on The ROBOlympic Games · · Score: 1

    Why should it? I would be happy if the designs eventually replaced human soldiers with robotic ones. I would much rather see robots fighting than humans.

  5. What?? on Guinness's World's Smallest Hard Drive Record · · Score: 1

    I would like to know everyone's obsession with making things smaller. Some of us like our technology big. It just makes you feel more manly, carrying a suitcase-sized drive around, or putting wheels on your new mp3 player. Where'd I park my SUV? I need to go pick up some more enzyte.

  6. Re:SimCity on Sims Online Presidential Campaign Shapes Up · · Score: 1

    It's not who gets simelected, its who gets simappointed by the simsupremecourt.

  7. Re:It's too bad we don't hear things like.... on TV Losing to Video Games · · Score: 1

    You'd be surprised how much credibility a full shelf of books with really big words behind my desk gives me. And if you've finished with whatever game you're playing, you can read them too.

  8. Re:I go to Simon Fraser University on Stolen Laptop Alarms · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Even though they are ignored by most people, think of it in the reference frame a car thief. Would you want the car you are attempting to steal to sound off a siren? Yeah, car alarms are annoying, but they also work.

  9. It's only a matter of time... on Sim City Inside The Sims - Russian Doll Effect? · · Score: 5, Funny

    before the sims are polluting the sim earth and stepping on sim ants "All I caught while fishing was this tin can, old boot, and book of cliches"

  10. Old News on Electronic Burglary in the Senate · · Score: 1

    Is anyone else wondering why this is being reported now? From the article, it looks like this happened in april 2003.

  11. Re:The question is on Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy" · · Score: 1

    I think the fox network actually has good reason to place some restrictions on family guy. If you have seen the unaired "Wish upon a Weinstein" episode on DVD, you could see how airing that episode would get a TV network in a *lot* of trouble.

  12. Re:Old World Support on Apple Sets Oct. 24th Release For Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 1

    Yes, it finally looks like beige g3's have gone obsolete. But after so many years- i've had my beige g3 for at least 5 years- what could you expect? Still, My g3 runs OS 10.2 without any problems, and I doubt 10.2 support is going to run out anytime soon.

  13. Do we really need Computers to do this? on Predicting H.S. Dropouts With Pervasive Databases · · Score: 1

    As a high school student, I can say that you can usually spot the ones who are going to drop out just by looking at them. I think teachers would have an even better idea of this, and i think this computer database is unessesary

  14. A likely explanation on Youth Spend More Time on Web Than TV · · Score: 2, Informative

    As a 15 year-old myself, i do spend lots of time on the web, mainly reading /.

    All of my peers, however, are spending most of the time on the web on Kazaa and messenger services like msn messenger and icq. Some of them can waste an entire afternoon just using icq.

    As for the internet replacing tv, I blame it on awful daytime programming. I can only watch family matters so many times before I start mutilating neighborhood pets.

  15. Good Movie, Good Video Game on Movie-Licensed Games That Might Not Suck · · Score: 1

    Personally, i feel the the tomb raider video game has really lived up to the standards set by the movie......

  16. Why pay $2.50? on Repel Bugs With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Funny

    When you can download high-pitched annoying sounds off of Kazaa...... look up Celine Dion

  17. Can computers do this? on Internet + Wireless Cameras = Homeland Security · · Score: 1

    I've heard they are using computers to recognize faces of criminals at airports, ect. Couldn't a sophisticated computer program replace a mob of "Unsophisticated users"?

  18. So basically.... on Internet + Wireless Cameras = Homeland Security · · Score: 1

    I can now get paid for watching all those suspicious foreign women undress
