    Duke Nukem Forever will be released in December 2007, just in time for the holidays
    Psst, don't give them any ideas... don't want the game to be rushed or something!

    Damnit, Microsoft simply won't stop ripping off Apple!
  4. Re:Liberals on Congressmen Rated On Tech-Friendliness · · Score: 1

    Well, you see, during the Cold War, socialist-leaning politicians couldn't be too blatant about their agenda -- most americans simply wouldn't vote for that; so they started using that word instead. They are the opposite of "classic" liberals (now called libertarians), who support free enterprise and small government.

  5. Re:I knew I was being scamed on Sony Warns of PS3 Scams · · Score: 1

    How about: "nintendogs pee on PS3 prototype, production delayed again"?

  6. fear on Games and Fear · · Score: 1

    I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain.

  7. Ronnie said it best... on The Tax Man Comes To Virtual Australia · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. - Ronald Wilson Reagan

  8. Re:Free? on Windows Media Player 11 Released · · Score: 1

    Microsoft keeps using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

  10. Re:Interface-free? on "Interface-Free" Touch Screen at TED · · Score: 1
    I see your point... Windows and Linux do it like this:

    Save?
    [Yes] [No] [Cancel]

    But Macintosh already does it the way you suggest:

    Save?
    [Don't save] [Cancel] [Save]

  12. Re:Quit Your Sniping and See the Benefits on AnalogWhole, an Alternative To FairUse4WM · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes, but if you have those DRM'ed files, it means you have bought them. Your dollars told the record company that you accept DRM, even if you find a workaround later. Of course, it is a good thing that this workaround exists; but, as a principle, one should not have bought that junk in the first place!

  13. The innocent pay for the wrongdoings of others on Hot Coffee's Effects On The GTA Mod Scene · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hot coffee summary: the sex scenes were in the original game, but not accessible without hacking. Take2 could have simply clarified that. Hey, it's not like GTA is an all-ages game in the first place. Instead, they blamed modders, and turned a minor issue into a big mess.

    Accountability will always be problematic for educators, but they should audited as closely as possible to prevent the waste of tax money.

    There's also Nintendo, you know. They're no angels, but have cleaned up their act.

  17. Would it be too harsh... on Lik-Sang Is Out Of Business · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...to suggest "extreme" action against Sony? Like, you know, assassinating their suits, bombing their facilities, that kind of niceties.

    What does the EFF have to do with this? You are probably thinking of the FSF.

  21. Re:There is a bit of hope .. on Halo Film Still On Track · · Score: 1

    Hot babe kidnapped by nasty gang. Boyfriend and his brother kick gang's asses to save her. Really, wasn't too hard to turn Double Dragon into an 80s-style low budget action movie, was it? That would have been dumb but fun. But instead they made it a lame sci-fi/fantasy flick that is just dumb, but not fun.

    Do you mean the G3? You'd have to be sure that they're enough for your needs, they're too underpowered by today's standards. I, for one, welcome out new Core Duo overlords!
