  1. Re:Modded insightful? Gun control stupid? on Ohio Wants eBayers to Post $50k Bond · · Score: 1
    Bring back the draft and have everybody spend a year in the army.
    Well, then I guess we'll be right on track to be a fascist socialist country, won't we?
  2. Re:well... on Canadian Government Going Big Brother? · · Score: 1

    Well, at least when the Gestapo comes for us, we'll be well armed.

    Well, in certain States we'll be well armed. Fuck you very much, New Jersey.

  3. Re:No PA :-( on Daily Grind Webcomic Challenge · · Score: 1

    I think only once a week. And it may be on Sundays (it's a "bible fellowship" after all).

  4. Re:law of diminishing returns on Babylon 5 Theatrical Movie Falls Through · · Score: 2, Informative

    The problem with season five was that JMS rushed to finish as much of story as possible in season four because they were essentially cancelled. I believe that B5 was only narrowly picked up for the fifth season.

  5. Re:Theyy were NOT space angels! on Babylon 5 Theatrical Movie Falls Through · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Remind me, how many legs do tholians have?


    Uh.... one?
  6. Re:Conflicting points of view? on Nintendo Warns MMO Company Over Trademark Issues · · Score: 2, Informative

    To be fair to the lawyers, trademarks must be defended. If someone doesn't defend their trademark, they risk losing it.

  7. Re:Wait a second on Arcade Kit Seller Applies for MAME Trademark [updated] · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think Chewie lives on Endor because Ewok females are easy.

  8. Re:How it mostly works on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 1

    I think part of the problem is that some people mistakenly use JavaScript to open legitimate windows.

  9. Re:Too bad . . . . on Class-Action Suit Filed Against Apple · · Score: 1

    Last week, my nearby Apple Store was packed. Although it was the weekend before Valentine's day...

    I think a lot of iPods were being sold, but many computers seemed to be sold as well.

  10. Re:Wireless vs. Retractable Cord on Xbox 2 to Have Wireless Controllers Standard · · Score: 1

    That would probably make the controller too bulky.

  11. Re:It still isn't proof on Computer-Edited Photos Lead To Child-Porn Locale · · Score: 1
    I recently got an invitation from Guru.com to join a project that would create software that could insert a preloaded video clip into a live video stream in real time. Such software could only be used for false incrimination.
    Couldn't that be used for advertising?
  12. Re:This could go either way... on Family Guy Video Game in the Works · · Score: 3, Funny

    Boss Battle: Peter versus Giant Chicken.

    That'll teach that chicken not to hand out bad coupons!

  13. Re:What's the best strategy.... on Sony Announces PSP Launch Date · · Score: 1

    I was merely stating my preference and, as such, can cast all the aspersions I want. Speculation is not necessarily illegal or unethical (except in certain circumstances). So, why would I dislike speculators? Perhaps because "make a quick buck" conflicts with my personal work ethic. Or maybe it's because I associate it with the likes of Spam. Both are extremely annoying and a waste of time. If you found something annoying, you wouldn't like it, would you?

  14. Re:Maxim should make games. on Women on Sex and Videogames · · Score: 1

    If Desperate Housewives has taught us nothing, it's not that women don't like impossibly-beautiful women, it's that women love smut.

    To get more female gamers, game companies must increase the smut content of their video games.

  15. Re:Non-interactive game demos!? on Sony Announces PSP Launch Date · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they wanted to avoid erasing people's memory cards.

  16. Re:What's the best strategy.... on Sony Announces PSP Launch Date · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I hope eBay will not reward you for your speculatory activities.

  17. Re:SDL Graphics library on Crash Course in Game Programming? · · Score: 1

    Will C++ be fast enough?

    I went through the examples in Programming Linux Games and tried compiling my own tests as C++ programs, but they were always slower than the examples in C. (It's been a while since I did this so I may not remember all the details.)

    It may have just been that I wasn't doing something correctly even though I tried to copy the example code as closely as possible.

  18. Re:errr.. hello? on Ex-Lover Deletes MMOG Character · · Score: 1

    Why would she change your password? Did she think it would be fucking funny? Did you break up with her over this incident?

    'Cause if you did, that would be understandable. Absolutely no one should fuck with a geek's passwords.

  19. Re:And the worst offender is... on FBI Warns: Many Tsunami Relief Pleas Are Fake · · Score: 1

    I hear the Australians are helping a lot, as well as a few other local militaries.

  20. Re:High School Memories on Wired Interviews Bram Cohen, Creator of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I know Cohen's father teaches at NJIT. He taught an advanced algorithms class last semester.

  21. Re:Bad luck for the burglar on Robbers Scared by GTA · · Score: 1

    There seem's to be an odd belief that weapons like knives and blunt instruments just aren't dangerous. Well they are. A person can quickly cross ten or twenty feet and strike you with their weapon.

  22. Re:I've stopped predicting things on PSP Opened up and Exposed · · Score: 1
    the only thing I pray for.... they do NOT bring the nightmare that is pokemon to the DS.
    Pokemon still makes lots of money. I think the last versions sold over a million copies.

    They would be fools not to make a Pokemon game for the DS.

  23. Re:Laziness on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think I've had teachers who were actually offended when a student asked how practical the course material was.

  24. Re:Wrecking Crew on Game Retailers to Have a Good Holiday Season · · Score: 1

    I don't think Mario has been involved in too many new installations given that he does spend a lot of time fixing Princess Peach's pipes.

  25. Re:Nobody likes a snitch on Nintendo's Lawsuits Aided by Fans · · Score: 1

    Selling copyrighted material for money is a criminal issue.

    Unauthorized copying and/or distribution (with no exchange of money or anything of value) is a civil matter.
