  1. Re:My thoughts on Tony Hawk's Underground - A Worthy Return? · · Score: 0, Troll

    I personally liked 2, but then I'm the type of person that prefers Action Quake 2 over Quake 3.
    I think the series peaked with THPS3
    Here's the THPS3 torrent, just for you.

  2. Stupid Quote on Diebold Chases Links To Leaked Memos · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If voting could really change things, it would be illegal
    Of course voting can change things, for example I'm sure the people of Iraq would have loved to vote a new leader when Saddam Hussein was in power, but couldn't. People have died for the right to vote. I think that things like the above quote are very dangerous things to say.

  3. Slashdotted on Tennessee's Super-DMCA Rises From The Grave · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can't access the file, so here's a link to the .pdf, HB0457.pdf.

  4. Mozilla browser on Sun Gets Open Source Into NSW Government · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The article just says 'Mozilla Browser', I wonder whether this means Mozilla or Firebird?
    On another (possibly related note), the front page of Mozilla.org is displaying the following message:
    Mozilla Foundation Launches Mozilla 1.5, End User Services
    We are pleased to announce new versions of Mozilla 1.5, the award winning Internet suite, and new Technology Preview releases of Mozilla Firebird (version 0.7) and Mozilla Thunderbird (version 0.3).

    Maybe this and Sun's announcement have been timed so they purposefully coincide?

  5. Of course on House Asks NASA to Postpone Space Plane · · Score: 3, Informative

    saftey should be paramount, and if that isn't the case I would urge congress to put a stop all manned flights until that is the case.

  6. Re:NPR - the way to go on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 1

    Balony. I guarantee you that if you listen to a radio drama, the pictures going on inside your head will be far better than anything anybody would shoot.
    WHIZZZZZZZZ. The sound of a joke flying right over your head.

  7. Re:NPR - the way to go on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 1

    Radio is here to stay!
    The problem I have with radio, is it's lack of pictures. Now if we could find a way to use the audio side of radio, and somehow combine it with moving pictures, we'd be in business.
    You know what they say... the pictures are always better on the TV.

  8. Well... on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    who needs the RIAA anymore?
    Ask any filesharer and I'd imagine their answer would be "not me".

  9. Obligatory Futurama Quote on Send in the Nasal Rangers · · Score: 0

    Fry: "Hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus." *laughs*
    Leela: "I don't get it."
    Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all."
    Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?"
    Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."
    Fry: "Hehe, no, no, I think I'll just smell around a bit over here."

  10. This is ridiculous on Send in the Nasal Rangers · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I can understand air and noise pollution, even light pollution to an extent, but nasal pollution? Smells are a LOT harder to stop, and some things require large amounts of smell (muck spreaders etc).
    And the price :about $15,500, with another $66,000 spent on equipment is equally absurd.

  11. Eep on X17 Solar Flare Sends 2B Tons of Plasma at Earth · · Score: 0

    The explosion sent over 2 billion tons of material hurtling across the solar system toward Earth
    When I read this my heart missed a beat. The poster of this artical should have really made it more clear what he was talking about, people with weak hearts might have a heart attack. This isn't a joke...

  12. Re:Abudance on The Problem With Abundance · · Score: 0

    Those are states, not measurable quantities.
    But can states not be measured? Of course they can't be measured as precisely as say weight or height, but I'm sure a psycho-analysis could quite easily say person X is happier than person Y, just by speaking to them.

  13. Re:Aren't obesity and traffic self-limiting? on The Problem With Abundance · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I get too fat, I die. If I drive way too fast, I have an accident and die.
    They're sort of self limiting. For example, in theory, being stupid is self limiting. Someone is too stupid, they do something stupid, and die, however there are just too many variables to be taken into account. Some very clever people die young, just like some fat people who drive way too fast live to see 100 (albeit a smaller amount of the population than those who look after themsleves and drive carefully).

  14. Abudance on The Problem With Abundance · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What do traffic jams, obesity and spam have in common?
    By saying this he is trying to say that having an abudance of something is a bad thing, when this is not necessarily the case. Having an abudance of money might be a bad thing, but what about an abudance of happiness, or love?

  17. Re:MOD PARENT AND GRANDPARENT DOWN on Roland Attacks MT-32 Emulator Project · · Score: 0

    The information was already posted in the article text AND in previous posts.
    Idiot.
    The parent contained links to the google cache, do you really want the companies running the servers to be hit with huge bills?

  23. Well... on Video Games Boost Visual Skills · · Score: 0

    I've had hundreds of accidents as the result of video games... I've driven Jaguar's off cliffs, flipped onto my back in a derby, crashed into walls snowboarding, got shot while going into a secret military bunker, and countless others... Play video games at your peril!
