  1. Nothing like... on Online Gaming for Couples? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...Gibbin' the ole' GF to show her your true affection.

  2. Actually... on Trying Your Hand at Level Design? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's surprisingly easy to get noticed by the industry as a level designer. For the past few years I have made custom levels for Quake III: Arena (see my website above), and after having created only a few successful levels, I started gettings job offers. I've been using GTKRadiant for all my work, and I think its been fantastic. As far as what the next big "editing" game will be, look to Doom 3. id software has ALWAYS been in the business of developing game engines due to Carmack, so once you learn how to use the editor in D3, you will be set for a NUMBER of games which will trickle in after D3 using its engine.

  3. RIAA? on Yamaha Releases Singing Synthesis Software · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I wonder how long it takes before RIAA gets their grubby little fingers on this bad boy and makes it illegal to type in known lyrics... (copyright infringement!! right? :P)

  4. Interesting $$ Facts... on Politicians For Sale... On Amazon · · Score: 0

    Top 4 Canidates in the Iowa Caucuses:

    Canidate CASH Cont $/Cont
    John Kerry $1689 61 $27.69
    John Edwards $1105 41 $26.95
    Howard Dean $1085 70 $15.50
    DennisKucinich $175 20 $8.75

    Conclusions: My man, Howie Dean, is seriously getting shafted at more than $10 less per contribution than the top 2 guys. This is probably a result of the younger generation of support for him. Also, Kucinich officially sucks. :)

    Most money so far: Gary Nolan, whom I've never heard of, with an astounding $2060. Then there is Fern Penna with a whopping $47 so far. With a name like that, I can see why... :P I think he can now officially go out and buy himself a new George Foreman...

    Al Hamburg... Family: Divorced, 9 children Yeah, that's just what America needs, a divorced guy w/ 9 kids...

  6. yay on Mars Express 3D Image Released · · Score: 0

    "The mission will result in Mars being more carefully mapped than Earth has been to date!"

    There's nothing more comforting than knowing that we will soon know more about a planet a bajillion miles away that we've been on for a few days, than our own planet which we've been on for a couple few... errmm... years.

  7. moola on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 0

    $55 here in Iowa for 1500/128 cable modem. :(

  8. Gingerbread? on Cube House · · Score: 0

    Heh. When I first started reading this article I was thinking "Sweet! A gingerbread house case mod for the holidays!", but alas...

  9. Use #5478.. on Epson Creates Tiny Flying Robot · · Score: 1, Funny

    RIAA recently bought one of these robots for every Kazaa filesharer in existence. Within days millions of 12 year old girls will be found and "dealt with" by these modded beasts.

  10. Re:Is Fritz learning? on Kasparov Wins Game 3 Against X3D Fritz · · Score: 0

    I was wondering the exact same thing. Like, if Kaspy had won the 1st game as white, and then just remembered his moves, he could win the 3rd game as white the EXACT same way. But like others said, the Fritz has probably added the game to its memory. So, with the exact same white moves, it might not play the same responses, but slightly different ones. However, I somehow think that the slightly different ones it would play would still spell its doom unless it could prevent the 8-pawn lockup from the opening. During the match, the creator of Fritz commented that they wouldn't have time to fix the "problems" which Fritz very obviously exhibited this game in regards to queen-side closed chess, so if there WERE another game where Garry played as white, I bet he could pull off a VERY similar game successfully.

  11. Re: Great Show on The Elegant Universe, Now Available Online · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Its been said that scientists don't really understand a subject until they can explain it in laymen's terms--IOW, no math, no complex concepts.
