  1. Re:Wow, That Was Fast on Sony Runs Out of 60GB PS3s · · Score: 1

    Bechtel... Wow. People call Sony evil... That's a whole different league there.

  2. Re:Sept. 25th...? on Sony Runs Out of 60GB PS3s · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'll release Home. It's still supposed to be in "September or October."

  3. Re:But is that a confirmed cut? on Sony Runs Out of 60GB PS3s · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of Windows?

  4. Re:Allofmp3 sells your email address to spammers on Allofmp3 Restarts Business · · Score: 1

    Apparently, this is due to one of allofmp3's payment processors (not that it makes it any better, actually, I'd think it makes it worse that a payment processor is so willing to send data)

  5. Re:Wow on Going to Yosemite? Get Your Passport Ready! · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I wouldn't really say the rest of us are net tax-receivers, most people don't receive anything from the federal government.

  6. mac on ODF Vs. OOXML File Counts On the Web · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My boss uses a Mac.

  7. no. on Putting Anti-Evolution Candidates On the Spot · · Score: 1

    The fact is that people who believe in Creationism believe in it because it's an easy answer. Anything you say about it will be met with the response that "The Bible says creationism is true."

  8. Re:Anti-Evolution on Putting Anti-Evolution Candidates On the Spot · · Score: 1

    Brownback, Huckabee, Tancredo raised their hands when asked "I'm curious, is there anybody on the stage that does not agree, believe in evolution?"

  9. Re:Seems reasonable... on Vote Swapping Ruled Legal · · Score: 1

    I didn't say that I wanted them to vote Republican. If they vote Democratic, that means I don't have to. I can vote for a 3rd party and not have to worry about a Republican winning because of it.

  10. Re:Seems reasonable... on Vote Swapping Ruled Legal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe if you live in Florida or Ohio, but I live in New York, so my vote doesn't mean shit. It's kind of nice in a way. I can vote for whatever freak I want, the Democratic candidate will win anyway.

  11. Re:Just Democrats on Vote Swapping Ruled Legal · · Score: 1

    I think you're thinking of Richard Nixon.

  12. Re:The price drop is smart on Xbox 360 Price Drop Official · · Score: 1

    They were doing a decent job of it before the PS3 came out. The PS3 is now outselling the 360 in all regions.

  13. Re:SKU SKU SKU SKU on Xbox 360 Price Drop Official · · Score: 1

    On every goddamn story about consoles, someone starts bitching about people saying "SKU". It's a valid term, get over it.

  14. Re:PS3 Really Starting to Roll on Sony Announces New Exclusive Rockstar Title · · Score: 1

    I own a PS3 and I like to play it, but I also don't present a list of games, 70% of which aren't even out, as a reason to get excited.

    Then again, I have VF5, Oblivion, MotorStorm, NGS, and Resistance, and I've gotten to the point where I don't even need any more games. Maybe after I finish NGS.

  15. Re:You Know on Sony Announces New Exclusive Rockstar Title · · Score: 1

    Although there's nothing about it that really needs a new system (other than the screen resolution), and the fact that it's essentially a remake of an old Amiga game, I can play Super Stardust for hours.

  16. Re:Sim Game on Sony Announces New Exclusive Rockstar Title · · Score: 1

    Jesus. It's not like it was in a goddamn TV episode or something. It was in Wrath of Khan! I guess I might as well tell you.. Darth Vader is also Luke's father. Bet you didn't see that one coming!

  17. Re:Sim Game on Sony Announces New Exclusive Rockstar Title · · Score: 1

    Considering that the Wii is more comparable to the PS2 than to the PS3 or the 360, it's not really doing that great.

  18. Re:360 7gig DVD Drive Bites MS In The Ass - Again on Sony Announces New Exclusive Rockstar Title · · Score: 1

    You're right about the base data rate of Bluray being higher (obviously?), but I believe the 2x bluray drive in the PS3 is something like half as fast at data transfer as the 12x in the 360.

  19. Re:Accomplishes what for the 360? on 360 HD-DVD Add-on Dropped to $179 · · Score: 1

    It doesn't really help anyone on the fence, it's still more expensive to get a 360 and this drive than to get a PS3.

  20. Re:They don't know where the IP numbers are... on University of Kansas Will Not Forward RIAA Letters · · Score: 1

    I personally don't think that having to supply my identity to get an IP is an improvement at all... The current situation where I am is, I just plug a cable into a wall and turn on DHCP. I can upload music with impunity, and there's no way for anyone to identify me. If someone is messing up the network, the admin can still block MAC addresses. However, if we start getting letters from the RIAA, they're going to be SOL as far as trying to sue anyone.

  21. Re:A Microsoft life (fictional) on Xbox Division Posts Loss of $1.9 Billion · · Score: 1

    I don't do computational chemistry, but we do have an experimental PS3 cluster.

  22. Re:Don't know if this is the right place... on Price Cut Leads To PS3, PSP Sales Boost · · Score: 1

    I'm just speaking for myself, but I was really excited about getting a Wii when I couldn't get one, and now that I have one, it's just.. meh. I bring it out when guests come over, but the rest of the time, it just collects dust.

  23. Re:I Heart PS3 on Price Cut Leads To PS3, PSP Sales Boost · · Score: 1

    24 32.

    Then again, there are also people that have a 61" TV. Also, some people like sitting on a couch.

  24. Re:Poor Sony on Price Cut Leads To PS3, PSP Sales Boost · · Score: 1

    Well, considering he's the editor of a popular gaming blog, I'm sure he's not regretting being able to write articles about the 360.

  25. Re:oh really? on Senate Majority Leader Takes On File Sharing · · Score: 1

    If it's illegal to default on a loan, then it should also be illegal to charge interest, since that's why they do it (supposedly)
