  1. Plan B? on Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Isn't this where you accuse someone else of the crime to create reasonable doubt? ...

    Sorry, I've got a season pass for "The Practice" on my Tivo. Too much pseudo-lawyer speak in my brain.

    Just to stay completely off-topic, don't you love the way that the jury always comes back quick on that show. The lawyers are always so shocked.

  2. Re:Nothing like a little Carmack... on Doom3 and OpenGL2.0 · · Score: 1

    The parent comment made me laugh. You not only made me laugh, you literally made me crap my pants. Now I have to figure out what to do with the pants.

  3. Re:FreeCiv! on Games in High School? · · Score: 5, Funny

    These are high school kids. If you want to give them free beer, you're going to have to do it behind the 7-11.

  4. Re:sounds terrible on SACD-CD Hybrids -- A Way Out For Us Both? · · Score: 1

    How does this protect fair use? It is like, "okay, instead of kidnapping your baby, I will kidnap your baby but leave you with this picture of him." Thanks, RIAA, but no thanks.

    I'm sure we could arrange for them to send you a toe or finger.

  5. Re:Not the GPU, the CPU on Xbox Mod Chip in Beta Testing · · Score: 1

    I haven't looked at the innards of these things yet. Maybe it possible to swap the RAM.

  6. Leap of Faith on Augmented Reality Quake · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That one shot with the bridge is scary. I can't tell if the bridge is really there or not. With sufficiently good graphics, you could easily break a leg/neck.

    You, sir, are evil.

  9. Re:Sci-Fi Still won't be on the list on Why Doesn't Sci-Fi Hit the Bestseller Lists? · · Score: 1

    You can actually watch that CSPAN BookTV thing. I'm usually asleep within 30 seconds of watching that if I don't change the channel quick enough.

  10. What about cases? on "eCycling" Pilot Program in 5 States and D.C. · · Score: 2

    I've got a few old cases that I don't want to deal with. I'm guessing that these can go to some regular kind of recycling or disposal center since they don't have all the nasty chemicals that pcb's and other components have in them.

    What kind of places would take them?

  11. Re:These guys have color too on Black Is The New Beige · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The boxes they use now are Antec cases. These things are very sturdy, but, unfortunately, very heavy.

    Even if you use a cell phone to call, 911 won't be able to pull up your address.

  13. Re:Goes a bit far... on Suing Sony for Everquest Related Suicide? · · Score: 1

    During one of my Quake stints, I would always look for nice railgun spots when I was walking around.

    Actually, thinking about this kinda makes me want to go play some Quake.

  14. Re:Airworlf for 2600 on Games People Shouldn't Play · · Score: 2, Informative

    You didn't need a "wanky" gun to get a high score in Duck Hunt. If I remember correctly, all you have to do is turn up the brightness to a certain level, and then any shot will be a hit.

  15. Re:William Gibson? on Talk ... Without Speaking · · Score: 3, Informative

    Was that in "The Diamond Age"? I can't remember.

    This was in the Ender's Game series. This is how Ender communicated with Jane.

  16. Re:Serious competition for DDR on Sony's New Bi-Pedal Robot · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I was thinking of MegaTokyo as I was writing my comment.

    Actually, though, Junpei and the evil chick aren't the PS2 peripheral. It's the other girl that is the dating sim peripheral.

  17. Serious competition for DDR on Sony's New Bi-Pedal Robot · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sony should make this guy a PSX peripheral. Then I can compete against this little guy in Dance Dance Revolution.

  18. Re:Wow! on Attack of the Clones Leaked · · Score: 1

    I don't always agree with the reviews on AICN(I think Harry was involved a little too much with LOTR to give an honest review), but these guys have helped to bring some cool stuff to the Austin area along with the Alamo Drafthouse. And they're usually a very solid source of information.

  19. Shaolin Soccer on DragonBall: The Live Action Movie · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This would be cool if the makers of Shaolin Soccer could get their hands on it. The style of the fights in Soccer seem to fit in with Dragonball to me.

    I don't know what you're talking about. I'm still in shock every time I see the Sega logo pop up when I'm booting Super Monkey Ball.

    Like you have a choice. Have you taken a look at how many "news" sources they own?

  22. The readers should cost almost nothing on What if Harry Potter 5 Was an E-Book? · · Score: 1

    For this to really take off, there needs to be an affordable reader which cost next-to-nothing. The money that would be saved on distribution methods (download vs. brick-and-mortar stores) should be more than enough to subsidize these readers.

    -prator

    (I am just throwing a thought out there. I really don't know the finances of distribution or the cost of readers.)

  23. Re:Scares me on Networks and Studios Against PVRs · · Score: 1

    Futurama had "Hey Tivo, suggest this" or something like that as the phrase that appears under the title at the beginning of the show.
