  1. ...damn on When the Alarm Clock Runs and Hides · · Score: 1

    This thing had better be mallot-proof and bullet-proof, cause...damn.

  2. Re:Consumer Math on New Sony DVDs Not Working In Some Players · · Score: 4, Funny

    The SCOny version of UNIX would come with the rootkits preinstalled.

  3. Re:What's wrong with Europe? on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Of course it's not only the leaders. It is not, on the other hand, the majority of citizens. Do you think that perhaps your uncle chooses friends who think as he does?

  4. Re:i loe and support all terrorist on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 2, Informative

    Any American can do those things, with the possible exception of #2. A person stating something does not inherently make someone else believe this. There are in fact 911-deniers - people who think the US government was involved in the attack. Those people are allowed to say these things on commercial radio and they do so. Is our country worse off for it? Nope.

  5. Re:What's wrong with Europe? on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 1

    You seem to confuse the leaders of Islamic countries with the citizens of Islamic countries. Don't feel too bad - a lot of people do that.

  6. Re:What's wrong with Europe? on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You can stop people from speaking terrible things but you can't stop them from thinking terrible things. I, for one, would prefer to know who the bigots are.

  7. Re:I, for one... on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Hey, man. Don't question the fuck out of ME. I want to keep my fuck. I may use it someday.

  8. Re:Turkey is the pinnacle of Islam. on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Many EU countries censor as well. Try to release an unedited Wolfenstein game in Germany and see how far you get.

  9. Wow, whodathunkit? on Billions Face Risks From Climate Change · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The countries objecting are the 3 biggest oil consuming nations and one of the biggest oil exporting nations. Go figure that.

  10. Re:Screwed Up on Is There Anything Wrong With The PSP? · · Score: 1

    "NO SECOND ANALOG STICK"

    Amen to that, brother. Socom for the PSP is probably a pretty decent game but I'll never know because I'll never be able to control it with a D-Pad and an analog nub.

  11. Re:Yes, there is on Is There Anything Wrong With The PSP? · · Score: 1

    Being a PSP owner I agree with a lot of that, but there are quite a few good games for the system at this point. Not as many as there are for the DS(which I also own), but I don't feel shafted on my PSP because there aren't enough worthy games. There are.

  12. Neat, but buggy on Microsoft, Google and Yahoo! Now Support GeoRSS · · Score: 1

    Virtual Earth is pretty neat, but:

    1) It crashes at random just like the IE version.
    2) I looked around San Francisco and there were billboards. Real billboards with real ads. Lame.

    For now Google Earth still wins. Competition is always good, though.

  13. Re:Update: Mario 64 Working Full Speed and Prettie on Mario 64 Working Full Speed on PSP · · Score: 1

    Are you trolling or do you seriously not understand the difference between a remake and an emulator? The fact that the N64 emulator is improving means it can potentially someday run any N64 game. Can your Super Mario DS cartridge do that?

  14. So that means... on Mexico City Starts 'Games for Guns' Campaign · · Score: 1

    ...that if I need a new box I just have to get a few Uzis and drive to Mexico? I'll remember that when I need an upgrade.

  15. Re:Cool on Mexico City Starts 'Games for Guns' Campaign · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, he doesn't like video games, remember?

  16. Re:Cultural reference on GTA IV Trailer Released, Slows Sites · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Not only that but you see a poster for a Kronos watch. Most of Philip Glass's work is played by the Kronos Quartet.

  17. What's the big deal? on The Elite's Sour Side · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have over 2TB of hard drive space on my PC and I am running low on free space, yet the 20GB hard drive on my 360 is more than I will ever need. I download game demos. I picked up the free South Park episode. And I still have 17GB free. 120GB on a 360? Come on. What are you gonna do with that? That's more than the average schmo has on their entire PC.

  18. Re:Pricing strategy on The Elite's Sour Side · · Score: 1

    They may be NOW, but when the 120GB drive hits the streets it won't be $50 anymore. Heck, this may even be good news for those who bought a core and are on the lookout for a cheap 20GB.

  19. Re:The problem lies... on How Small a PC Is Too Small? · · Score: 1

    I don't think the problem is storage space. Their version of Windows obviously fits because they're going to use it. It's more usability, and a barebones Linux machine would presumably be CLI only. If it is, good luck typing on that itty bitty keyboard. And if you're using Gnome or KDE we're right back where we started anyway.

  20. The problem lies... on How Small a PC Is Too Small? · · Score: 1

    ...not with Windows but the fact that these people are trying to run a full-blown version of Windows on a device it was not designed to be run on. OSX and Linux would be just as awkward. Windows Mobile was made for a reason.

  21. Re:CtrlAltDel key? on How Small a PC Is Too Small? · · Score: 1

    Cool. I'll leave that task to you. Let me know when it's done. I assume I get to beta test your new OS?

  22. Re:As these CRIMINALS should - guilty - pay the pi on RIAA Says Accused Students Are Settling · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The thing I can't figure out is if you're talking about the RIAA or the pirates.

  23. Support for GB/GBC games on How To Make the DS Even Better · · Score: 1

    I know it isn't going to happen. And I know most people don't care. But I still want it. :)

  24. Re:WDFD! on Mars Rovers Moving After Winter Hibernation · · Score: 1

    Conveniently enough, there appears to be a nice breeze which is blowing dust off the solar panels so that they can continue to work.

    Either that or the Martians have found a new god and are worshiping it with Windex.

  25. Re:What the hell? on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 1

    I know I'm being a real dork here, but: http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=3655&d=18&h= 0

    You used a joystick to move your dude and typed commands when you were near something actionable.

    Don't misunderstand me, though. I would agree KQ probably goes on that list. Sierra paved a LOT of roads back in their day. More than any other developer I can think of. And KQ was of course a big part of that.
