  1. Re:The Dog Companion on Molyneux Slips Additional Details on Fable II · · Score: 1

    Fallout had a bad ass dog companion.

    And Fallout 2 had TWO of them.

  2. Re:But wait ... on Army Game Proves U.S. Can't Lose · · Score: 1

    That's just wrong. When the Brits signed the Treaty of Paris after the American Revolution, the British Empire was recognizing the thirteen colonies as soverign states.

  3. Re:Doesn't Fit.. on Horde Paladins and Alliance Shaman in WoW Expansion · · Score: 1

    Only the Night Elves are connected to nature. If any Alliance class were to get the Shaman class it would be them. Draenai being connected to nature? Their capital is going to be a crashed fucking spaceship.

  4. Re:This is the sort of publicity you can't buy. on ThePirateBay.org Raided and Shut Down · · Score: 1

    You're paying for the books at the library, even if you arn't aware of it. Libraries get funding through property taxes, and sales taxes, and state income taxes. You're paying for those books, even if you never step foot inside a library.

  5. Re:What glitch!?!? on Glitch Forces Mars Probe Shut-Off · · Score: 1

    Looks like Mars wasn't prepared for the Y2K bug...

  6. Re:What? on The First Killer App: VisiCalc · · Score: 3, Funny

    What about solitare?

  7. Re:Dangerous? on Evidence of 6 Dimensions or More? · · Score: 1

    No, because these black holes are highly unstable. They last for a few fractions of a second before disolving into nothingness.

  8. Re:20 years from now, GWB's acts will still echo on Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at 80 · · Score: 1

    Considering the obscene amount of money he's spent in the past five years, I think it's pretty stupid to say that his appointment of two SCOTUS judges will be his only impact in twenty years.

    Sure, it'll be a big impact, but what about making more than half the planet hate the United States, or spending more money than Reagan?

    This is just a drop of water in the bucket.

  9. Re:OMGOMGOMG on Mom, and Now Judge, Stand Up to RIAA · · Score: 1

    Don't forget violently overthrowing a government that is trying to take your rights away. Just ask those wacky American colonists how well that turned out.

  10. Re:Good idea on GM Claims Advanced Cruise Control By 2008 · · Score: 1

    Another problem is that GM would hold the patent for this particular technology.

    Sure, Chrysler and Ford might come up with a form of competition without impeeding on GM's patent, but not only would that require time, it would also make Ford and Chrysler products incompatible with GM's model.

    I'd say it's pretty unfair to pass a law that would FORCE people to pick which automobile manufacturer they want to go with.

  11. Re:Call of Cthulhu ? on Nintendo Patents Insanity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What about the Postal 2 expansion? That's certainly got prior art all over this.

  12. Re:Greenland is the problem on Ice-Free Summers Coming To Arctic · · Score: 1

    I thought that Greenland was named that way because the Vikings were assholes?

    Isn't that why Iceland is the paradise, but Greenland is the frozen equivaliant of a desert?

  13. Re:Yeah, it's a gimmick! on Sony Describes DS As Gimmick · · Score: 2, Funny

    You don't need a video game to do that...

    Hang on, I have to assure the authorities that I have no idea where Cindy is.

  14. Re:Robot bats?? on Robot Bat With Echolocation · · Score: 1

    You misspelled Krikkit.

  15. Re:How do you pronounce your last name? on Ask Jonathan Zdziarski · · Score: 1

    Correctly.

    *+5 fake karma points to whoever gets the reference*

  16. Re:science on Scientists Creating Life From Scratch · · Score: 0

    That's a bad example. Deities are generally able to perceive all time frames. So a god would be able to know what the entites he/she/it created would be capable of doing. Humans lack that ability, so it's entirely possible for us to be unable to perceive how an AI would act once it achieved true individuality and independance from its programming.

  17. Re:Fun to be had by all... on Video Tombstones · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess Windows would be more appropriate though

    Blue screen of after death, perhaps?

  18. Re:I think it's about time on Parents 'ignore game age ratings' · · Score: 1

    Censorship is never good.

    No, not ever. Even if it might help promote the work and get more people interested in it. Censorship doesn't belong in western democractic society.

    You want censorship feel free to head to North Korea. I'm an American, and I want to read whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want.

  19. Re:Dust of and nuke the US from orbit on Rockstar's Next Game Draws Protesters · · Score: 1

    I just stay as far away from anybody I don't know. It's kind of lonely, and I never get laid, but at least I can walk around without putting my violent video game skills to the test.

  20. Re:Here we go again... on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 0

    I agree, we need more tripping monkey Christians.

  21. Re:Yahoo will never win... on Yahoo to Launch Blog Ad Network · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's just that a LOT of people don't know how to use the compact spots, but there did seem to be a ton of compact spots in the entire parking area. Do so many people at Yahoo actully drive motorcycles, Mini Coopers, Segways, and golf carts?

  22. Re:Yes, but ... on The Real Hitchhiker's Guide? · · Score: 1

    Does version one have the words "Don't Panic" written in large friendly letters on the cover?

  23. Re:anti-bender? on Kegbot: The Future of Robotic Drink Service, Now · · Score: 1

    This seems to remind me of Artoo in RotJ when he's on Jabba's barge serving drinks.

  24. Re:Only Marginally Good News on Retailers Press For Unified HD DVD Format · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, the taxes on tea in the British colonies in North America weren't that big a deal. Certainly nothing people would worry about. Hey, it's just some tiny little bit of extra money for a luxery item we don't need.

  25. Re:Think of the children! on Grandma Sues Over Hot Coffee Mod · · Score: 2, Funny

    AHHH!!! NAKED PEOPLE!!!

    Won't SOMEBODY please think of the children?! Our kids might grow up and decide that they like to fuck, and upon doing so, they might continue the species onward! HEAVENS!

    The above is an attempt (albeit, a poor one) at satire. Please mod accordingly.
