  1. Re:He was legend on Charlton Heston's Impact On Sci-Fi · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think the part where Smith "puts his dog down" is brilliant directing and quite possibly the most believable performance I've ever seen from him.

  2. Re:He was legend on Charlton Heston's Impact On Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    Isn't the story originally about vampires anyway? I can't recall...

  3. Entrapment? on FBI Posts Fake Hyperlinks To Trap Downloaders of Illegal Porn · · Score: 1

    Is this not entrapment? Sounds pretty shady to me.

  4. Re:Auto upbreak. on Vista Service Pack 1 Is Out · · Score: 2, Funny

    It took about an hour to copy my 20 terabytes of porn between physical drives rather than the usual 3 days.
    Pity I lost interest after 5 minutes.

  5. Re:thats great and all.. on A Congressman Who Can Code Assembly · · Score: 1

    How so, AC?

  6. I see... on What You Don't Know About Living in Space · · Score: 1

    ...you've played knifey-spoony before.

  7. Re:Ads on Google's New Patent on Commercial Breaks · · Score: 1

    It's funny you know, I think I must be the only person on the whole intarweb who actually BOUGHT mIRC...

  8. Re:thats great and all.. on A Congressman Who Can Code Assembly · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think you mean LOLCODE

  9. Re:Real Pirate Chips on New Lock Aims To End Chip Piracy · · Score: 1

    What culture do you think I am? Fine, I'll remove it then. Seeing lazy people type 123$ in IRC just irks me.
    On another note, the coffee shop near my work uses apostrophes for plurals in at least 5 of their signwriter-printed advertisements; eg. coffee's, frappe's, latte's. I cringe.

  10. Not all music... on The Geometry of Music · · Score: 1

    > And their chord progressions tend to be efficient, changing as few notes, by as little as possible, from one chord to the next.
    If you want non-standard chord progressions, listen to anything by Trent Gardner of Magellan.

  11. Re:I challenge you to a duel! on Bank That Suppressed WikiLeaks Gives It Up · · Score: 1

    Or, as in "The Curse of Monkey Island", you could close the ornamented wooden box and open the banjo case behind it...
    Duelling banjos ftw!

  12. Real Pirate Chips on New Lock Aims To End Chip Piracy · · Score: 1
  13. Re:No. Next question please on Australian Internet Filter Enters Trial Phase · · Score: 1

    I once met a man with a wooden leg named Smith.

    What was the name of his other leg?

  14. Re:Obligatory, sorry. on Tetris Creator Claims FOSS Destroys the Market · · Score: 1

    > In Soviet Russia, Tetris play YOU!
    Damn it, you beat me to it! Lucky I did a "find Soviet" first.

  15. Re:I prefer instant blackout on Do Gamers Enjoy Dying in First-Person-Shooters? · · Score: 1

    > Sounds a lot like Battlefield 2.
    Except NS was publicly released at least a year before Savage and four years before Battlefield 2. I believe the FPS/RTS concept had been implemented long before NS too (can't put my finger on the exact game though...)

  16. Re:Get 'em Tiger! on Wii Homebrew Takes Several Leaps Forward · · Score: 1

    If you're not worried about HD then, an Xbox running Xbox Media Center with the MythTV addon script and the standard Xbox remote will do you quite well. Modded Xboxes are so cheap now it's ridiculous.

  17. Re:Reminds me of 11001001 on One Computer to Rule Them All · · Score: 1

    > They 'evolved' to require that they all work in twos
    Bender: Ahhh, what an awful dream. Ones and zeroes everywhere... and I thought I saw a two.
    Fry: Don't worry, Bender, there's no such thing as two!

  18. Re:Better login into wikipedia host asap on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    > they don't all say 'we must do what this holy book says without question', nor do they all say that people shouldn't think for themselves and question things.
    Scientology says otherwise. Then again, that's not really a religion, is it. :)

  19. Re:Ooh! Can't wait to play it... on Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008 · · Score: 1

    I think you mean your Okama Gamesphere.

  20. Sonnet on Programming As Art — 13 Amazing Code Demos · · Score: 1

    I think my favourite of all time would have to be Sonnet. The 3state guys did an incredible job on this one. 7 minutes of brilliant coding, all in 64 kilobytes!

  21. JPEG? on Lawyer Puts $10k Bounty on Blogger's Identity · · Score: 1

    We could make our own JPEG! But it stands for Jaundiced People against the Extortion of GPH.

  22. Re:yuck! on Bionic Contact Lens May Lead to Overlay Displays · · Score: 1

    You're thinking along the lines of augmented reality (which is pretty cool).
    A bunch of guys at the University of South Australia had a little project going called ARQuake where they overlaid a render of Quake on VR glasses.
    http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/projects/ARQuake/www/index.html

  23. Commodore 64 on What Was Your First Gaming Experience? · · Score: 1

    It'd have to be this, many a year ago: http://c64s.com/game/2107/secret_of_bastow_manor/

  24. Global Warming on Huge Hydrogen Cloud Will Hit Milky Way · · Score: 1

    Better plan ahead now or in 20-40 million years we'll have another "could have done something about it" crisis like global warming.

  25. Re:Is this needed? on Electricity Over Glass · · Score: 1

    I dunno, Steam is pretty unstable as it is. :)
