  1. Re:And in the same time... on Happy 60th Birthday IBM Research · · Score: 1

    It's unfair to say Microsoft only invented Clippy. They have also invented something much worse... the COMBO BOX.

  2. You know, I have one simple request... on Why Do-It-Yourself Photo Printing Doesn't Add Up · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser printers attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?

    Number Two: Inkjets.

    Dr. Evil: ... Right.

    Number Two: They're photo-quality inkjets.

    Dr. Evil: Are their cartridges refillable?

    Number Two: Absolutely.

    Dr. Evil: Oh well, that's a start.

  3. Re:backwards compatibility on The Xbox Going Backwards and Forwards · · Score: 1
    Because otherwise we end up with great dreamcast hardware, two good games to play (soul calibur and Armada), and a praying that it doesn't break cause we can't buy a new one.
    Wait a second there... someone actually liked Armada?!
  4. Oh, it's very easy... on Japan Will Stage Mock Cyberattacks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just post your targets at Slashdot, and we will simulate a DoS attack.

  5. Re:Sega did it right on In-Game Advertising Reaching Audiences · · Score: 1
    (The only real one I can think of right now was some ISP or webpage service or something..)
    Actually the "Emerald Notwork" ad was fake. Only the Soap Shoes ad was real - and it made perfect sense!
  6. Sega did it right on In-Game Advertising Reaching Audiences · · Score: 1

    Every time the "ad on games" topic comes up, I mention two games that got ads and product placement right: Sega's Shenmue and Sonic Adventure 2.

  7. Re:Why not books? on Jack Thompson Tasked With Writing Law · · Score: 2, Funny
    The works of the Marquis de Sade? Historical accounts of wars? Works of terror by Stephen King?
    Something far worse... the Bible.
  8. Hello Cthulhu on Call of Cthulhu Available on DVD · · Score: 4, Funny
  9. Much cheaper alternative... on New Version of Sony's AIBO Robot Dog Released · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Copyright is a Contract on Canadian Law Profs Counter CRIA Propaganda · · Score: 1

    Damn you, Bono! I swear I'll NEVER buy another U2 album!

  11. Re:No More Flashing on Revolution GunCon Concepts · · Score: 1

    Yea right. Like you would not see a flash if you shot with a real gun!

  12. Great, now all we need is... on Technology for Capturing 360 Degree Video · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...a 360 Degree TV to watch it!

  13. Re:Maybe not on LimeWire to Block Copyrighted Work · · Score: 1
    "The RIAA is evil because the websites tell me so, so I'm going to ensure that System of a Down doesn't get paid today, which somehow is good for System of a Down!"
    There's nothing wrong about System of a Down not being paid; not being even listened to would be even better!
  14. Re:Is the difference so big? on China Sets New Rules On Internet News · · Score: 1

    That's a very unfair comparison. Jackie Chan does not pretend his movies are documentaries... and since he does his own stunts, they are actually more faithful to reality!

  15. In other news... on LimeWire to Block Copyrighted Work · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...Limewire use will plummet.

  16. Re:Welcome to 21st century on Korea To Build Front-line Combat Robot · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Sure, but around here we write it like this:

    1. A robot must bring...
    2. ???
    3. PROFIT!

  17. Re:Virus vs Robots (vs Man) on Korea To Build Front-line Combat Robot · · Score: 1

    Star Wars? No, you're thinking of Independence Day.

  18. Re:Wake me up when they get to the E-Vagina. on E-nose Sniffs Out Nasty Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 1

    It's called a "fleshlight", dummy.

  19. Re:Romero on John Romero Back In The Game · · Score: 1

    Actually that was a long time ago, now he has long hair again.

  20. Re:Tears (and a few expletives) on Games Can Make Us Cry · · Score: 1

    Armada. Phantasy Star 2. Hidden & Dangerous.

  21. Re:mini-microsoft on Mini-Microsoft Shakes Things Up · · Score: 1

    And Windows is the operating system equivalent of an ill-tempered mutated sea bass...

  22. Re:Innuendo on Mini-Microsoft Shakes Things Up · · Score: 3, Funny

    Then it makes sense that most of their products suck, right?

  23. Re:Because They Are Too Expensive on Next-Gen Pricing Still A Hot Issue · · Score: 1

    > the Sega Classics Collection (Shinobi,
    > Columns, Golden Ax, and something else)

    Would that something else be Streets of Rage?

  24. Don't say you have not been warned... on Movie Studios Unveil New Anti-Piracy Lab · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "If Coca-Cola accidentally created 100 million cans of faulty Coke, you know for sure the entire 100 million cans would be dropped in the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean, without a second thought and irrespective of what that did to the year's profits. What do we do with a crappy movie? We double its advertising budget and hope for a big opening weekend. What have we done for the audience as they walk out of the cinema? We've alienated them. We've sold audiences a piece of junk; we just took twelve dollars away from a couple and we think we've done ourselves no long-term damage."--- David Puttnam, movie producer (from GQ magazine, April 1987)

  25. Lightpen, anyone? on Talking 'Bout A Revolution · · Score: 1

    I hope Nintendo got this right, but there's something that worries me: using this controller may be like using a lightpen. Remember those? More intuitive than a mouse, but very tiresome if you use it for too long...
