  1. I'll be waiting on Bill Van Buren Talks Half-Life 2 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Seems like I've been waiting HALF of my LIFE to play it! In fact, it's taking FOREVER!

    Wait...wrong game, nevermind.

  2. Re:Article Text on Sci-Fi on the Cheap · · Score: 1

    That's probably becuase you're a goody-goody. You're a good-ass, and I'm a badass.

    Goody-goody two shoes!

  3. Re:I take it you have never played on Revolution May Launch Last · · Score: 1

    Nope. Never even heard of them, actually.

  4. Re:Good on Revolution May Launch Last · · Score: 1

    When the latest games were playing slowly on my N64 (think Perfect Dark), I was ready for a new system.

  5. Good on Revolution May Launch Last · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's too early for a new system. My Gamecube still gets 60 fps in most games all the time. They should wait until the current hardware is really challenged before they start selling something more powerful.

  6. Don't write your own on Open Source Conference Management Software? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Since it's open-source, take that discontinued project and make your own out of it. If it's good, you'll have something good to start from. Add the features you require and contact the original authors and see if you can take over their website.

  7. Yes, you can on Attack of the $1 DVDs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Try a flea market. I've been to many a flea market and most of them have 5 porn DVD's for $4. But who needs that when you can download?

  8. Re:Wait to they see this! on SAGE 2004-2005 Salary Survey Announced · · Score: 1

    That's only for 1 year of school. I'm sure there's much better offers for somebody with a BS in CS. There are, right?

  9. Re:Apollo 13 wasn't so bad on Discovery Set to Launch July 13 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nobody died in Apollo 13.

  10. Consoles will never die on Microsoft May License Out XBox Software · · Score: 2, Informative

    I went out to Best Buy today and bought TimeSplitters 3. I drove home and put the disc into my GameCube. I fired it up, turned on progressive scan and wide screen, and it was set.
    No installation, no patching, no bullshit.

    Don't get me wrong; I love my PC games. But when I'm in the mood for something to really just work, I turn to my trusty consoles. I've treated mine well and never had a failure.

    I also treat my computer well, but HDD space and system requirements often stand in the way of just wanting to sit down and play a game. With a console, I never worry about how much room I have left or if I need to turn down the detail to gain framerate.

    They fill two different needs.

  11. Re:You guys crack me up! on The Death of Gamespotting · · Score: 1

    This is what "gamespotting" is? Who gives a damn about any single game review site? I get nearly all of my game information from http://gamerankings.com/ and http://gamefaqs.com/. If it isn't there, it's on Google.

  12. Already do demanding tasks away from the desk on Sun Announces Its First Laptop · · Score: 1

    When I need my computer to do a really demanding task when I'm not at the desk, I usually start the task, go do something else, and then come back and hope it's finished!

  13. That razor thing on Why Do We Have to Use a Floppy to Flash BIOS? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The simplest explanation tends to be the best. They are lazy programmers who know they won't sell many extra motherboards if they do include the extra ability.

  14. Motorola V60i on Minimalist Cell Phones? · · Score: 1

    It's got everything you need, and not much of what you don't. It's got decent battery life, great reception, and a readable screen. It vibrates, it rings, it stores phone numbers, and it text messages. That's all I need mine to do. It also has a few other features such as voice dialing, but they're not positioned in such a way that they're obtrusive.

    I've had mine for a while and it's damn near indestructible, except for the antenna. I've dropped it plenty of times; I've even washed it in the washing machine with my shorts by mistake!

    To date, I've never used a Motorola product of any sort that has failed to meet my expectations.

  15. Re:Is it a bad sign..... on MTV and Midway Join Forces · · Score: 3, Informative

    LA Rush is likely a sequel to the kick-ass racing games that appeared in arcades and on the N64. I also believe that some versions appeared on PS and PC.

    The games were SF Rush for N64, PS and arcade, Rush: The Rock/Alcatraz Edition in the arcade, Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA for the N64 and PC, and Rush: 2049 for N64 and the arcade. Those were some great games, especially the first two for N64.

    I've been waiting a long time for a sequel to appear. I hope this shows up on Gamecube!

  16. Insensitive clods! on Iran Continues to Censor Internet Communications · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So Iran centric! What about the rest of the world?

  17. Re:luigis mansion on Immersively Kick Ass Kung-Fu · · Score: 1

    Luigi's Mansion was indeed entertaining, but not what I expected from a Nintendo launch title.

  18. Let's not discriminate on Immersively Kick Ass Kung-Fu · · Score: 1

    The Revolutionary part of Nintendo's next console is probably that sort of feature. Actually, that will be just one of the revolutionary features. It will do all things! Nintendo can do no wrong! Luigi's Mansion was a great game!

  19. Re:Philosophical Questions on Is Technology a Panacea for the Disabled? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, KDE has such a great accessibility package that somebody who's been using Windows 3.1 and is blind could learn how to use it in just about 15 minutes.

    All he would need to do is type "apt-get install kdebase" after he finishes installing the special blind-unstable branch. Then run the config scripts for all the random stuff that goes into using a computer when you're blind...and bingo! If it doesn't work quite right, he can just edit the source code since it's GPL and he's got a computer doing EXACTLY what he wants!

  20. Re:Conspiracy? on Major Advertisers Caught In Spyware Net · · Score: 0

    Same old conspiracy as the virus conspiracy with a new face and different people.

    Next conspiracy, please.

  21. Re:Bogus! on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    I'll send a fucking .357 magnum down the pipe of my revolver when I'm 21 and can finally buy a handgun from a respectable dealer.

  22. Re:Bogus! on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    To me, life isn't worth living without liberty and property. I'm a very resourceful person and I want to make my own way without being held back by those too lame to do so themselves, or so greedy that they must push others down to accomplish anything.

    At least we still have guns so my life can end with a bang instead of starving to death.

  23. Re:relevance in slashdot? on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    Ummmm...maybe because if they take your house for no reason they'll take your computer for no reason?

  24. Doom Clones on Does 3DMark Predict Game Performance? · · Score: 1

    I get somewhere around 102937898123704 FPS when playing Doom! I rule! It only goes down slightly when playing Doom II.

  25. Re:No more updates? on Microsoft Genuine Advantage Cracked · · Score: 1

    The best virus protection is to turn off unnecessary services and keep software up to date. I don't use realtime virus protection of any sort and I have never had a virus detected when I occasionally run scans.
