  1. Wait on The Pentagon's Ultimate Home Theater · · Score: 5, Funny

    If they lose a life in the simulation, do they die in real life too?

  2. Re:Dynamic soundtracks on On The Trendiest Concepts In Game Design · · Score: 1

    So that's why it sounded cut-up and pasted at times. TIE Fighter used the same engine. When you started, it would play the Imperial March, cut it off after 8 bars and play something completely different.

  3. Re:Consequences? on SHA-0 Broken, MD5 Rumored Broken · · Score: -1

    The most widely used confirmation system used in Linux, MD5, has been broken, meaning it is possible to fake an MD5 signature.

  4. Re:Ayn Rand would have loved this on DVD Player Maker's Margins just $1 · · Score: 1

    Isn't a CLD-2200 damn near indestructible too, but more readily available? I've got 5 of them used in schools and they all work fine.

    Not if they generate a new one and say they have the right one.

    I, for one, welcome a beowulf cluster of Linux-running overlords here to profit from Soviet Russia.

  9. Re:Sure... on Disney Enters PC Market · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I bought an unfinished one off ebay. It looks like it came right from the factory mid-assembly. Sanded side panel, pink handle, pink button. No decals whatsoever.

  10. Re: Mickey Mouse operation on Disney Enters PC Market · · Score: 4, Informative

    Microsoft doesn't make them. They're rebranded.

    Gentlemen, BEHOLD! followed by a witty comment.

  12. Re:you are lucky! on Annual Customer Support Rankings · · Score: 1

    The Apple inkjets were copies of Canon ones. I've got a Stylewriter II and it looks just like the Canon BJ-101 I also have, same cartridge and everything, BJ-01.

  13. Re:Woody Guthrie on Copyright on Parody or Satire? Threat To Sue JibJab · · Score: 1

    Happy Birthday is copyrighted. If a payed group sings it at a party they have to pay royalties to the owners or they'll be sued.

  14. Re:NASA's budget doesn't match its jobs. on Plans for International Space Station Cut Back · · Score: 1

    In 2004, our school was still using 200MHz Power Macs. They're getting iMacs next year.

  15. Re:Stupidity Breeds Freedom on Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act · · Score: 1

    I was half-quoting one of the HHGTTG books.

    "Then the court found that life itself was in contempt of court, and duly confiscated it from all those attending."

  16. Re:Stupidity Breeds Freedom on Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act · · Score: 1

    And then they argue that life is a possible circumvention device, so they duly confiscate it from all attending the court.

  17. Re:Relevant? on Google's Fraud Squad Battles Phantom Clicks · · Score: 1

    ebay.com's search engine?

  18. Mars on Mars Had Surface Water for Eons · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So does this mean that we might be able to find traces of water and/or life if we keep digging, or that the water is all gone?

  19. Re:Still a bargain at a per hour basis on On The Rising Price of MMO Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    Two people can play it at once, only one person can have a game going. DDR machines are imported for over $5000. Someone's gotta make thatt money back.

  20. Re:From his forum - He is supreme Cmdr. on Derek Smart Lusting Rights To Freespace? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He sued a site that gave BC3000 a bad review, and threatened to sue SomethingAwful for saying he was arrested for bank fraud.

    Homer is looking for a car, and is in a small Eastern-European car

    Homer: What country was this car made in?
    Salesguy: It no longer exists. Why don't you take it on a test drive?
    Homer tries to start it, and shifts it to a weird symbol
    Salesguy pushes the car down the road while it's backfiring like crazy
    Salesguy: Put it in H!

    Mrs. Lovejoy: "Don't talk about S-E-X in front of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N!"

    Krusty: "Sex Cauldron!? I thought that place closed down!"
