  1. idiots on Giant Squid Caught Near Japan · · Score: 4, Funny

    are they TRYING to awaken Cthulhu?

  2. Re:He's right but for the wrong reasons. on Sony Says Nobody Will Ever Use All the Power of a PS3 · · Score: 1

    you can see that problem in screen shots of PS3 games, compare fight night on the xbox 360 and the PS3

    on the PS3 the parts drawing the background don't know what the lights are doing or what the models are doing, so you'll have a powerful light shining on a sweat covered upper torso and not glaring off it at all, while the xbox 360 allows the lights to interact with the models as you would expect in real life

    http://au.gamespot.com/features/6162742/p-6.html keep in mind fight night round 3 was also released only 3 months after the xbox360, so it does not have an advantage of the year of experience with the 360 that current cross console games will have.

  3. Re:Sounds like printers... what happened with them on Autodesk Suing to Keep Format Closed · · Score: 1

    i think there was a case with SEGA that ruled that using a trademark or copyrighted chunk of information as a "key" does not constitute infringement

  4. Re:Old Games, Pshhaw on Wii Owners Looking at a Nintendo Drought? · · Score: 1

    psst. http://isohunt.com/

    search for NES roms the fullk set should be a few hundred megs, about an afternoon worth of downloading

  5. Re:Wheres my Wii... on Wii Owners Looking at a Nintendo Drought? · · Score: 1

    you are asking the wrong question, ask if it's going to be in the flyer, then that release day (usually sunday) camp at 5AM and you will get one

  6. Re:Does not cover modding on Lawsuits That Changed the Games Industry · · Score: 1

    what games lock down mods with whitelisting and digital signing, i know console games tend not to be moddable but every PC game i have ever seen either encourages modding, or doesn't do anything deliberately obstructing mods.

  7. Re:Wheres my Wii... on Wii Owners Looking at a Nintendo Drought? · · Score: 1

    camp a store shipment starting around 5 a.m.

    make sure to bring heavy winter gear and don't use a chair, if you sit still in a chair you will freeze your testicles off.

    to get the ship dates go into local department, game, and electronics stores once or twice a week. That is how i scored a Wii on december 3rd, 8:17AM at the clifton park NY Target

  8. Re:Does not cover modding on Lawsuits That Changed the Games Industry · · Score: 1

    selling your OWN mods is legal, unless the creation of the mod requires content from a source with a license forbidding commercial use, for example textures and models from a game level and model editor. if you build all the content yourself you can do whatever the hell you want with it and nobody can stop you.

  9. great on Drinking Alcohol May Extend Your Life · · Score: 1

    I'm 'a live forever

  10. Re:going to have come up with a better way on Small Businesses Worry About MS Anti-Phishing · · Score: 1

    actually the difference is that with google they choose to list you or not, with the anti-phishing bar MS is directly communicating to the user that you are less than legitimate

  11. Re:Dual Use Tech on Appliances Hog More Energy Than High-Tech Gadgets · · Score: 1

    gas can be dangerous, but so can electricity. an electrical fire will destroy a home just as surely as a gas fire, and electricity will start itself

  12. Re:Console emulation on How 'Games for Windows' Will Change PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    having a 'PC' version of the xbox 360 set up to be hooked up between your PC and your monitor would be nice, i don't have an HDTV of my own, but i have several monitors that are near or exceeding the resolution of HD.

    CxO's will care about their mission critical software running on an OS that cannot be trusted

  14. Re:Wow... glad you don't work for me. on How Do You Handle New MS Word Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 1

    if the person you are sending to is 30 years behind the times, you can always save as ASCII text

  15. Re:Wow... glad you don't work for me. on How Do You Handle New MS Word Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 1

    save as PDF, then by default it will be scaled by page/screen width and the font is embedded in the file (you are using openoffice to make the PDF aren't you?)

  16. Re:Open Office on How Do You Handle New MS Word Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 1

    a better option would be for the oo.org community to put togeyther an email filtering system that will take all outbound odt files and convert to XML word files unless **NOCONVERT** is included in the subject line, then that string is simply stripped and the odt file is left alone.

  17. abi-word, ooo on Third Microsoft Word Code Execution Exploit Posted · · Score: 1

    abiword opens it as a blank file with a funny page dimension

    Openoffice complains about not enough memory to open the file and doesn't even try to open it

    no PSU switch? get a decent power supply and you can turn it off whenever you want to

  20. Re:From my cold dead hands on Second Amendment Questioned · · Score: 1

    sure experimenting with chemestry is fun, i'm just saying highschool isn't the best place for it, since highschool kids are particularly dumb.

    there were plenty of kids in my highschool whose idea of experimenting would be to mix 100 ml of each material available into a beaker then try to light the result on fire (if it didn't burst into flames itself that is) or make an anhydrous sodium hydroxide blow gun, or dump the entire jar of sodium hydroxide into thwe 12M HCl just to see what happens.

  21. Re:Toner on Arson Science Rewritten · · Score: 1

    pack it around another explosive such as a quarter stick of dynamite and you should get a hell of a show

  22. Re:Not Much of a Surprise. on Criminals Target Tech Students With Job Offers · · Score: 1

    the multiple errors would be done by computer code added just once, the second contact would be required to export the credit information to yourself, however due to the goals of this release there is no need to ensure it goes to yourself.

    posting bots that roam VBullitin sites, spam mailers, usenet, and IRC would together make a very large receptical for a data dump.

  23. Re:From my cold dead hands on Second Amendment Questioned · · Score: 1

    not to mention that it's hard enough to deal with an insurgency from the outside, where only your "away" supply lines are at risk. in a civil war the insurgency would also be able to attack home supply lines such as oil tankers and refinieries, manufacturing facilities, and highways.

  24. Re:From my cold dead hands on Second Amendment Questioned · · Score: 1

    in a highschool chemestry lab creativity is in fact the last thing you want to promite. i sure as hell wouldn't want to be around when someone accidentally discovers a new and cheaper way to produce dimethyl mercury, sure it'd be both nifty and useful to mankind, but everyone in the room dies a horrible death
