  1. Better bring a game or two on Six Men Endure 105-Day Mars Flight Simulator · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sounds like they should add an Xbox360 or a PS3 to the supply list. They can practice their hand-to-eye coordination just in case of hostile little-green-men

  2. I'd like to see more move to this trend on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wish more "One-Hit-Wonder" groups/artists would do this, as well as many of the better groups/artists out there today.

  3. A new world alert . . . on Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System · · Score: 1

    The world will not end in a zombie rampage, by zealot's with dirty bombs, greenhouse gasses or meteor strike . . . it will be by a disgruntled employee with root access . . .

  4. If someone wants your stuff . . . on Cubicle Security For Laptops, Electronics? · · Score: 1

    I try not even to bring in pictures in a picture frame into my office. Unfortunately my experience is "If someone wants your stuff badly enough it will vanish" Even if you can get your employer to asset tag the items (even though they are yours) an keep track of them Most office equipment will not stop a determined techno-clepto

  5. I don't agree on Study Shows Good With Math Means Bad With People · · Score: 1

    I am generally cranky, unhappy and not easy to please . . . but I suck at math. Oh wait . . . where's my Prozac . . . okay, now I fit in.

  6. Each to his own on Dungeons and Dragons Online Impressions · · Score: 1

    It is all in how you play or want to play, not everyone is going to flock to DDO while there are other MMO's that have more content, higher levels etc . . . During the beta I did find DDO close to what I remember from PnP. EQ2 and WoW do have more to offer. But again, it is up to the individual user to decide. Do I want something casual, log on for an hour or two, group and crawl though a dungeon. Or do I want to log on and randomly kill mobs or players and make items, for my one or two hours. --Uther "You were expecting something witty here ?"

  7. Just to bilk more cash on Anti-virus Vendors Eye Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    Just another way for the Anti-viri companies to bilk money from the average non-tech-type. IMO every anti-virus company has a small team in a seculded part of the building writing the virus and releasing it into the wild . . . it's job security.

  8. Re:Quantity vs. Quality on 86 games for the 360, 45 for the PS3 · · Score: 1

    I agree with the hardware matchup. However, for enjoyability, I like me PC over console. Even after I have beaten agame I can still go in, replay, trainer and cheat my way thru it for giggles. I don't get the same satisfaction out of a console game. --Uther

  9. Re:Price Fixing? on Pay-to Play and the Tiered Internet · · Score: 1

    Completely messed up. Didn't Comcast just do an across the board 6% rate increase to all customers because it was needed . . . none of that went to the employee's mind you. It all went into Mr. Burke's pocked.

  10. Re:Lowering the boom. on 'Used' A Dirty Word in Gaming · · Score: 1

    Yes I'd like to see more moddable games . . . BUT, once you allow someone to start adding on and tweaking in come the hackers. Then you're fun place becomes your graveyard as someone keeps beating you. I loved Red Faction multi-player . . . until all the cheats came along and there was no way to stop them.
