  1. Re:Don't tell me.. on Mitch Kapor Warns Against Firefox Gloating · · Score: 1

    This is insightful? I realize it's sarcastic, but Lotus 1-2-3 is one of the reasons personal computers are so popular today. So, unless you have some achievment that can match that with you might want to take it down a notch.

  2. What a hypocrite on Rupert Murdoch Considers Entry to Gaming Industry · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I find it funny that Fox (and Murdoch personally) push a hard line conservative agenda while his other properties continue to pump out the "filth" that Fox commentators lament constantly. It's hard enough to put Family Guy and O'Reilly in the same headspace and now they want to get into gaming? Thanks, but no thanks.

  3. Re:Continuing their trend... on V for Vendetta Going to Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Has anyone actually seen any 3rd party confirmation of this?

  4. After all the stories on G4 Drops TechTV Name · · Score: 1

    After hearing stories of how G4 treats their staff, both on air and off I really don't want to give them any of my money. Wasn't the reason they bought TechTV because they wanted a bigger audience? And now they are returning to their previous format? Does this make sense to anyone? Sounds like poor decision making somewhere in the chain.

  5. Re:Daredevil? on Top 50 DVDs · · Score: 1

    Oh and for those that say it's about the DVDs and not the movies, it's about both. Insightful commentary on a shitty movie means very little.

  6. Re:Daredevil? on Top 50 DVDs · · Score: 1

    Even better, Pearl Harbour at #22. This is just laughable now.

  7. Daredevil? on Top 50 DVDs · · Score: 1

    Okay, that invalidates the list right there and from the score on IMDB I'm not the only person that thinks so.

  8. Can I write a list and get it on / ? on 2004 Digital Media Winners and Losers · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    How is this news for nerds or even stuff that matters? It's an opinion piece by some guy that is an Apple fan and runs an MP3 new site. It's fluff.

  9. Re:WHO. GIVES. A FUCK. on Sales Data Indicates GameCube Underperforming · · Score: 1

    Perception is everything, have a look at what happened to the Dreamcast and you'll see a lot of parallels in the Gamecube.

  10. Analyst + price speculation = hilarity on Xbox 2 for $400? · · Score: 1

    Analysts, especially mainstream analysts, just don't get the videogame market. They are usually so far off the mark that it's laughable.

  11. Why is there a monthly fee? on SOE to Sell Content Additions to EQII · · Score: 1

    I thought that was part of the justification of a monthly fee? There is no way the average EQ player comes anywhere near the monthly fee for bandwidth costs. I just don't understand why people keep paying to get treated so poorly.

  12. Re:View from Canadia on Countries Plan Land Rush in Warming Arctic · · Score: 1

    I too do not understand how anyone can make a grabe for anything up there. There are only a few countries that border the Arctic oceand and I assume there isn't much international water. Take a look at how far Canada extends to the north. Any attempts to use our waters and resources is a violation of Canadian sovereignty.

  13. This isn't a surprise on Transmeta Mulls Exit From Processor Market · · Score: 1

    Just ask AMD how hard it is to chip away at the processor market. It's not enough to be a bit better or a bit cheaper, you have to be head and shoulders above whatever Intel does.

  14. Toxic waste? on James Bond Peelable Automobile Paint · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do we really need another disposable chemical in our ecosystem? This can't be a good thing in the long run.

  15. Re:Early Quake code in HL2 on Carmack Discusses Delay of Q3A Source · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected, apparently there still are bits of code in there from Quake 1. Why they'd do that I don't know.

  16. Re:Early Quake code in HL2 on Carmack Discusses Delay of Q3A Source · · Score: 1

    They rewrote anything that belonged to id. I'll guarantee that 100%. Why would they risk a lawsuit or be stuck paying royalties?

  17. Re:And so it begins again... on Why Microsoft Should Fear Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    Oh, and does anyone else get the feeling that this pointless and redundant article was posted because of the anti-MS sentiment?

  18. And so it begins again... on Why Microsoft Should Fear Bandwidth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So many doomsayers over the years have talked about how PCs are going to radically change in the near future and it has yet to come to pass. PCs won't change that much (in the terms that this article speaks of) until there is actually a need. Right now there is no outstanding need adn let's be honest, what ISP wants to take on more tech support roles?

  19. Re:This is no surprise on Inside TechTV/G4 · · Score: 1

    Because everyone that dislikes CLI is unworthy... right?

  20. Re:To those actually DEFENDING this sentence... on Feds Convict Warez Dealer · · Score: 1

    You would have a point if he'd actually been sentenced, which he has not.

  21. Right, but... on Game Industry Not Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    The $10 billion doesn't include hardware and accesories. So, the games industry still isn't as big as Hollywood all around when you add in everything, but let's compare apples to apples.

  22. Re:Concept Image Mirror on Rumored iPod Flash Leaked · · Score: 1

    Wow, if that is what they really look like they are not enticing to me at all.

  23. Re:We got warned back in August (sort of) on Doom Movie Update · · Score: 1

    No hell references, not the same type of space marine? What exaclty does it share with the games? Shotguns?

  24. Re:Do i smell a bias? on Bhopal Disaster Revisited [updated] · · Score: 1

    When a western celebrity dies in a car accident it's a tragedy. When 10,000 people with brown skin die somewhere else it's really just a shame.

  25. There have been HD based cameras on JVC First With A HD-Based Consumer Camcorder · · Score: 1

    For pro and semi-pro work for a while now. This might be useful for consumers, but it's still a long way from the prosumer features and quality I want. When they come out with a XL-2 level camera with removable drives I'll bite.
