  1. Projector + game machine on Massive Multiplayer Gaming Warehouses On The Way · · Score: 1

    I once have seen a game system linked to a 100 inch projector! That was a looong time ago and the game system was actually a NES (256x240, 16 colors) running some awful karate game... *shudder*

  2. Another attempt to control human sexuality... on Internet Porn More Addictive Than Crack, Senate Told · · Score: 1

    ...and, more specifically, an attempt to curb masturbation, is the monstrous, pointless, harmful, and painful procedure/ritual that is circumcision.

  3. It's spell-nazi time! on MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers · · Score: 1

    "Who's copyright?"

    WHOSE copyright, you mean?

  4. Re:I dont know why.. on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 1, Informative

    Nonono, it's like this:
    In Soviet Russia, Halo reviews YOU!

  5. Re:Born on the console? on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not exactelly. Marathon 2: Durandal was indeed ported to Windows95 - later open-sourced and ported to other systems; but the original Marathon remains Mac-only (the third game, Marathon Infinity, has basically the same code as Durandal, so maybe you can count that as open as well)

  6. Re:China Icon on China Closes 1,600 "Internet Bars" · · Score: 1

    This one, maybe?

  7. Re:Picasso? on Lost Ed Wood Film Unearthed · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I've never watched an Ed Wood movie, but if his work is as bad as Pablo Picasso's cubism rubbish, I'd have to say he is a disgraceful filmmaker.

  8. Turning IE user into Firefox user on Firefox Shooting For 10 Percent · · Score: 1

    I have a Mac, and my browsers of choice are Safari and Firefox. My dad has a PC running XP, which my sister uses.

    Recently, I noticed there was an extra bar in IE - spyware, of course. A little googling and I managed to remove it. Then, I installed Firefox, and told sis not to use IE anymore. And I intend to install Thunderbird.

    My Mac is safe, I guess... but I would like to make that PC safer. And, if possible, cleansed of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. How does one do it? I heard MS made it very tricky. Any clues? Also, any good site with security tips?

  9. Re:CONDOMS ! ! ! on World's First Single-Atom-Thick Fabric · · Score: 1

    Geeks get laid?!

  10. Meanwhile, here in Brazil... on Apple Announces New iBooks · · Score: 1

    ...insane import taxes make Mac prices go sky high. Just a few examples:

    - Power Mac G5 (Dual 2.5 GHz G5/512MB/160GB/SuperDrive)
    in USA: U$ 2999.00
    in Brazil: U$ 6096.09

    - eMac (1.25GHzG4/256MB/40GB/Combo/Modem)
    in USA: U$ 799.00
    in Brazil: U$ 1867.50

    - iPod 40GB
    in USA: U$ 399.00
    in BRazil: U$ 1274.91

    - iBook (14.1"TFT/1.2GHz G4/256MB/60GB/CD-RW Combo drive/VGA-out/Enet/56K)
    in USA: U$ 999.00
    in Brazil: U$ 3567.85

    (full price list:
    www.latinamerica.apple.com/pricelist/br/)

    I wanted one of these new machines, even a low-end one. But I'm sticking to this old G3/500, because, other than some extra RAM or a bigger HD, there's nothing else I can afford! Damn my country's government - primitive, protectionist, anti-free-trade, left wing zealots. Hell, there was a time, not too long ago, when it was ILLEGAL to import a computer without authorization from the government!

    This country sucks, I should save some money and move...

    > Imagine if automakers charged to offer
    > seatbelts and brakes as a service.

    Well, that's different, you see, because the cars would crash, whereas an operating system..... oh wait.

  13. Re:In a word... on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    Go ahead and click, I dare say it is even workplace-safe stuff. Nothing graphical, mostly testimonials and descriptions.

  14. The Gipper said it on New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany · · Score: 1

    "The 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." - [i]Ronald Reagan, 1986[/i]

  15. Re:In a word... on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > Windows and OSX on the same machine

    It's called "Virtual PC".

  16. Re:2 million yen on Tecmo Wins Naked Kasumi Case · · Score: 2, Informative

    ¥ 2.000.000 = U$ 18.018

  17. Make an animated version of Star Wars... on Star Wars TV Show · · Score: 1

    ...oh wait, it already exists! It's called Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

    As a reply to your sig, I point to my sig:

  19. Re:There is no choice on the developer's end on Sony to PSP Coders: Battery Life Your Problem · · Score: 1

    There is another choice - dump the PSP, become a NintendoDS developer.

  20. Reading books on computer monitor is BAD!!! on Current D&D Products in PDF form · · Score: 2, Funny

    I got ATLAS SHRUGGED from some p2p service and read all of it on my screen. Over eight fuckin hundred pages. An awesome book, sure, but my eyes hurt for a whole week after I finished!

  21. Re:No Respect. on Lucasfilms Nixes Star Wars Live Screening · · Score: 1

    "An droid, the droid - whatever." - Raja, from Phantasy Star 4

  22. Okay, pervs, here's what you want on Camera that Sees through Smoke and Fog Underway · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here's what you want, a camera that sees through clothes . Sheesh...

  23. Capitalism Magazine on Your Favorite Political Weblogs? · · Score: 1

    Capitalism Magazine ... well, it is not really a blog. It is a site of politic/social/philosophic editorials, from an objectivist (Ayn Rand) point of view. I love this site!

    I also like Polipundit , Instapundit , Cox & Forkum , and deliciously corrosive Ann Coulter .

    For the portuguese-speaking: be sure to check Midia Sem Mascara and Diego Casagrande .

  24. Mac user's point of view on New Worm Installs Sniffer · · Score: 1

    Macintosh user since 1997. Not one virus problem, ever. Bad RAM, flaky CD drive, broken floppy drive, half-dead monitor, blasted speaker, toasted modem, yeah - but no virus problem at all! Now, come to think about it, that old 6500/225 lasted quite a bit...

  25. Hey, what about composer-centered projects? on Kong in Concert - Donkey Kong Country Arrangements · · Score: 1

    Rather than work around a game, why not make collections based on the composers' works? Here are some names to think of: Yuzo Koshiro, Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, and Richard Jacques.
