  1. What's a queue? on Sony PSP Launched With Long Queues In Akihabara · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it longer than the battery life?

  2. Metaverse on Katamari Damacy Sequel Announced · · Score: 1

    I imagine that this game represents what a slashdoting would look like in the metaverse

  3. Re:Uh... on Will Open Source Solaris Kill Linux? · · Score: 3, Funny

    It isn't "user"? Screw this, I'm switching to Gobolinux.

  4. Re:Discover article? on Blending Mice and Men · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, I forgot what the mechanism was. You're right, two eggs that would have been fraternal twins merge to form on fetus.

  5. Discover article? on Blending Mice and Men · · Score: 1

    The first time I ever heard about chimeras in humans I believe was a Discover article. It bagan with an anecdote about a woman needing a kidney transplant. During the testing for suitable donors it was determined that her three children were not suitable and that SHE WAS NOT THEIR MOTHER. Here body carried two different sets of dna. The dna in her uterus was different than the dna in her blood.

  6. Re:Penny Arcade on Playstation Holiday Demo May Erase Memory Cards · · Score: 1

    Wow, I really screwed up that post.

    that letter

  7. Penny Arcade on Playstation Holiday Demo May Erase Memory Cards · · Score: 1

    I guess <URL:http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=20 03-07-07&res=l>that letter</URL> really pissed them off so they decided no one deserved save points.<P>Seriously, I'm on the last mission of San Andreas, I probably would gone on a killing spree if my game had been deleated.

  8. Poor editing on PBS Documentary on The Video Game Revolution · · Score: 1
    I watched it last week because of the timely article that this one duped.

    It was alright, but the editing really got on my nerves. They mention the introduction of the gameboy and then show footage of the gameboy advance. They talk about pacman and then show footage from pacman world.

  9. Re:Hmm... sounds tricky on Capturing Genesis · · Score: 1

    That would be pulling a Mission Impossible Chunnel flight. Breaking the laws of physics really cranks up the difficulty.

  10. Re:UGH on Word Up · · Score: 1

    My brother plays D&D on sunday twice a month. My sister-in-law just says "he's dorking" when people asks where he's at. I don't know why scrabble is so geeky. You don't need to know english to play the game. All you need is a huge list of words and an ability to evaluate what the best placement is.

  11. Where to buy on No Noise PC Reviewed · · Score: 3, Informative
    To get one in the US: Logic Supply Also, mini-itx.com will ship you one.

    These would make great MythTv boxes if they had more pci slots. Currently there are only two. It would be nice to have two regular tuners and a digital tuner in the box. They could also add an irda port to the front. Also the thing weighs 15kg or approx. 33 pounds; not something you want to trip over in the dark.

  12. Re:Gorillas need not apply... on AlphaGrip's 3D Keyboard Ready For Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    This is what I use with PS2 Linux http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=22&produ cts_id=2519& I can probably type 4 WPM on it; which is why I SSH in on my Zaurus since I can type on that keyboard twice as fast. Seriously though, I bought this controller for when I take my PS2 Linux kit to my friends house. I just need the keyboard to login and start X. Then I can use the analog stick as the mouse. All of the other buttons are programmed to control XMMS. I really need Linux running on a normal computer.

  13. X:Com on More Randomness, More Replayability For Games? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All I want is X:Com. It had random encounters and map generation. It didn't even need a thick slowly progressing plot. You made it yourself, "Hey remember the time they invaded the base and we got them with the last gernade". The randomness was what made you play for hours. Even though the maps where layed out in tiles it still kept the creepiness because the aliens were always in different spots. Just rebuild X:Com using Front Mission 4 style giant robots (but a better customize interface) and some online play for good measure, then we'll have some fun. Oh, if you can't get X:Com to run on your computer try finding the port for the Playstation

  14. Re:You Just Don't Get It on ATi HDTV Tuner For The PC Arrives · · Score: 1

    In Lincoln, NE with Time Warner you also get all of your neighbors Video On Demand orders for free. This is how my friends mitsu tuner works. He just has basic cable, no digital box.

  15. Re:good job. on Delorean Time Machine Replica Up For Auction · · Score: 2, Funny

    With all that time travel gear it has the ability to become the original ricer.

  16. Bright on Polymer Vision Produces 5" Rollable Displays · · Score: 1

    One of the Nobel prize winners responsible for this technology is an alum at my school. He gave a talk about three years ago with some product mockups. What I found amazing was how bright the displays were. You could tell the cell phone he had was lit from the back of the auditorium. I think the lack of a back light is one of the best benefits of this tech.

  17. MythTV on Gates Shows Off Xbox Media Center, Discusses Consoles · · Score: 1

    With programs like MythTV it looks like the linux community will be forever beating Microsoft to the punch as far as hardware usability goes.

  18. Better luck on Bullet-Proof Xbox Wows Police · · Score: 1

    I think a 9mm would have better stopping power against a game console made of flesh.
