  1. This is barely an improvement on Interview With Bing Gordon (EA) · · Score: 5, Funny

    I read Interview with Bing! 2006 and Interview with Bing! 2007 seems to be just a rehashing of the same ideas as the prior just with updated information. Ever since EA has gotten exclusivity to the Interview with Bing! license the whole series has gone down hill.

  2. I did this with the thermostat to my ac on Icy-Flo - The solution to this summer's heat · · Score: 1

    When I first got my air conditioner, it was set at a factory default of like 76 degrees. With a little savvy hacking on my part I was able to bring it down to about 74 by pressing the down arrow. I will have a full 10 page blog posting up in a few days so look out for it! For my next project I plan on doing the same thing, but in my car!

  3. Maybe they should open a dupe clinic? on Detox Clinic Opening for Video Game Addicts · · Score: 1

    The "Zimbabwe Center for the Elimination of Duplicate Post Addiction" says you should read the article you guys posted on this not a few days ago:

  4. About most gamers I know on Gaming Detox Center Opens In Netherlands · · Score: 2, Funny

    To most of of the gamers I have met over the years a real-life high-adrenaline replacement experience would be to walk outside of the basement and see what the rest of the family has been up to the past year. Baby steps.

  5. Two words on ESRB Our Last Defense Against Game Censorship? · · Score: 1
  6. Re:I found a bug already! on Google Releases Picasa for Linux · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Huh?

    What versions of Linux does Picasa support? Will Picasa run on a 64-bit version of Linux? Will Picasa run with XFCE, Blackbox, or another Window Manager? What are the Picasa for Linux system requirements?

    Maybe you are having intarweb problems? Contact your IT group immediately.

  8. Pack in stuff?? on Nintendo Announces Japanese Wii Price · · Score: 1

    Now the only question is what will it come with. One "wiimote" or two? Credits for virtual console games? How about a game included (Wii Sports?). Come on Ninty throw us a bone here.

  9. Re:Make computers illegal! on UK Law May Criminalize IT Pros · · Score: 2, Funny

    That will only stop the sloppy hackers. The good ones will pick up a telephone and start making the necessary modem tones with their mouths.

  10. Re:Doesn't make sense... on UK Law May Criminalize IT Pros · · Score: 1

    I like where you are going with this. I agree, hammers need to be banned.

  11. Re:Just the free market at work. on Web Release of the Open Movie Elephants Dream · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can try to make a CGI person jump up and down on a couch like a monkey on a daytime talk show, but it will never be quite right. This is why actors are worth $20 mil.

  12. Kutaragi quote on PS3 to Sell at Over $800 in UK · · Score: 1

    Kutaragi in an interview was quoted as saying "Microsoft shoots for the moon. Sony shoots for the sun."

    He could not be more correct, because we all know what happens the closer you get to the sun.

  13. Re:Let me guess this was posted by Zonk on Merrill Lynch Predicts $200 Wii · · Score: 1

    So what you are saying is to stop posting as a Nintendo fanboy, and start posting as a Sony fanboy (your comment regarding how the Japanese think the PS3 stole E3 shows your true colors). A lot of people find news about the Wii interesting, since it is taking a new approach. On the other hand a lot of people know what to expect from the PS3, same games better graphics.

  14. Re:Oddly familiar on Spacecraft Crashes Into Satellite · · Score: 1

    Let's just funnel money directly into defense and aerospace contractors' pockets, and make it easier for them to pay off the politicians.

    On behalf of the United States Government, I would like to offer you a job. If you accept the offer just let us know by talking to your lamp on your desk. Thanks.

  15. Re:Dual layer DVD burners are still hard to come b on 360 Hacked To Play Backups · · Score: 1

    I paid 30 bucks for my NEC Dual Layer DVD+/-R in June of 2005. Where the hell do you shop? And can I sell you a DVD Dual Layer burner?

  17. This is a dupe on CmdrTaco becomes An Old(er) Man · · Score: 1

    This is just a dupe of a birthday announcement for him about a year ago. Slashdot needs better dupe checking.

  19. Xbox 360 as a portable? on Xbox Author Discusses Microsoft Handheld · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I am trying to figure out how this would possibly work. The 360 uses full size DVD media, for one. The accessing of data on the disc is not optimized for power conservation but for load times, which tells me that this unit would last maybe an hour on battery life (unless some really amazing battery advances come about in less than two years). Also, Microsoft have blasted sony for trying to attempt a console battle on two fronts (portable and home market) saying it was a bad idea. If they could pull this off, it surely would be cool (more competition in any industry never hurt) but I would be quite surprised.

  20. Katamari Damacy on The Hidden Gems of E3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This brings up a really good point. I wanna say E3 2004 they showed Katamari Damacy at E3 to very little fanfare and it ended up being one of the breakout hits of that E3. A lot of the time the titles you have never heard of going into the show are the ones that really impress.

  21. Wii will work.. on The Public's First Look at Wii · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just this weekend I introduced my young niece to Mario Kart. The first thing she tried to do was move the controller around in the air to drive. It's the most natural form of control, and I think people will realise that once again when it launches in the fall. I am really looking forward to it.

  22. Re:Sony's strange plans, two-many-formats wars on Video Games and the Hi-Def Format Wars · · Score: 3, Informative

    The PS2 was cheaper than most DVD players when it came out. DVD players in turn dropped prices to compete with the PS2. Now, you can get a DVD player with a happy meal. Heck, one of the big reasons the PS2 beat out the dreamcast in Japan was not because of games, but the DVD capability. When the PS2 came out in Japan the most popular title sold along with the PS2 was not a game at all, it was the Matrix on DVD.

  24. Reaction among sony has been strong too.. on Both Sides of Wii · · Score: 5, Funny

    They changed the name of the Playstation 3 back to that marketing term from the PS2. The "Playstation Emotion Engine", or PEE.

    Actually that is the control scheme for Duck Hunt: Revolution.
