  1. Re:Damn Microsoft! on Mac OS X Intel Kernel Uses DRM · · Score: 1

    Only in Korea.

  2. Re:Half-Life 2 on Half-Life 2 Lost Coast, Antlion Troopers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It auto-detects the DirectX hardware level of your card. High for a DX7 card would probably be low/medium on a DX8 card and low for a DX9 card. You need the latest in video cards to have the best graphical experience. I saw a major difference running in medium when I went from a GF3 to 6600GT.

  3. Re:Why would it be the mafia? on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 1

    The Yakuza learned that a long time ago. They try to avoid media attention to keep public interest in their activities down.

  4. Re:How the ESRB Rates Games on How the ESRB Rates Games · · Score: 1

    Same thing in the Fun with Weapons episode: Nobody cared that Butters had a shuriken in his eye, they all cared that Cartman was on public access TV completely naked.

  5. Re:expensive to produce? on Battlestar Galactica Resurrection Effort Described · · Score: 1

    Midget, chimp, same thing.

  6. Re:expensive to produce? on Battlestar Galactica Resurrection Effort Described · · Score: 1

    It was a midget in a suit. Animatronics weren't advanced enough in 1978 for a walking figure.

  7. This isn't news on Disney World Collecting Fingerprints · · Score: 1

    It's not news. They've been doing this for nearly 10 years.

  8. Apollo 12 on Dennis Threatens Discovery Launch Date · · Score: 1

    Apollo 12 was launched in a storm and was hit by lightning, which knocked it offline for a few seconds, but they kept the mission going.

  9. I tell you what on Non-Technical Users Talk Malware · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ah nevah though' that purpled monkeh wha' read my emails coulda ever stoled mah password!

  10. Re:As I read the article... on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 1

    You ever think nobody with mod points ever reads these threads after a day or so? We're all still at 1.

  11. Re:As I read the article... on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 1

    This is Star Trek, remember?

    You're getting blown up by Klingons, but you exploded your warp engines first.

  12. Everywhere on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 1

    This happened at our school too. We all got laptops and we did the same stuff. They spied on us, we got the passwords. They had student volunteers running the helpdesk. They were challenged to break the passwords. One did it and told the rest how the next day. The helpdesk was given fully unlocked computers to do whatever they wanted with, while the rest of the school was given the locked-down, awful, spyed computers.

  13. Re:As I read the article... on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 1

    Kobayashi Maru meets Ender's Game. You're being blown up by Klingons, but it's happening on the Z-axis.

  14. Re:Why Bother? on Death On Demand Drive Tech · · Score: 1

    SMART is garbage. I've had a drive throwing off SMART warnings for 2 years signaling impending doom, but it's still happily chugging away.

  15. Re:I think we've got a record here! on NeoPets Sale Creates Ripples · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, articles profit from your lost carrier?

  16. No Way on CNN Now Offers Free Online Video · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Of course it's not the death of paid content. There will always be a low-quality feed for free, but for a few bucks a month you will always be able to upgrade to a higher-quality feed. It's the way of the internet, and it's not going away any time soon.

  17. Re:The Dreamcast? on Xbox Marketing VP Says 10M 360s In First Year · · Score: 1

    The Saturn had a lot more sales in Japan until the PS1 came out. It was hated here because they rushed it to beat the PS1 to market and had very few very unpolished launch titles.

  18. Didn't Take Long on Editorial Wiki Debuts At LA Times · · Score: 1

    Didn't take long for a Wikipedia in-joke to spread over there. The article Wikitorial is now at Wikitorial on WikiWheels.

  19. In Korea... on Korean MSN Site Hacked · · Score: 4, Funny

    Only old servers are unpatched.

  20. Re:Video games... on Are Video Game Patents Next? · · Score: 1

    If I remember right, American football comes from Association football. Someone thought it would be a good idea to throw the ball instead of kicking it. Then they discovered spheres can't be thrown, so they made it more of an oval.

  21. Re:Marines vs. Aliens on Concepts That Should Be Games? · · Score: 1

    The Natural Selection mod for HL1 has some RPG-style features such as leveling, different creatures, and abilities. And lots of aliens and marines.

  22. Re:For a change .. on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 1

    Stair Wars: The Phantom Escalator?

  23. Re:Then what is it? on Playstation 3 Not A Video Game Machine · · Score: 1

    "She's MY sex box, and her name is Sony."

  24. Had copies? on Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How can a bittorrent tracker have copies of something?

  25. Re:Oh No! on Wormholes Unstable (BBC) · · Score: 1

    Battlecruiser 3000 had wormholes. They could throw you into empty, unprogrammed space that was nearly impossible to get out of.
