  1. Re:How to Falsify Evolution on Darwinism Must Die So Evolution Can Live · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nice copy paste. Then again, that's typical Creationist behavior. No wonder you had to AC this.

  2. That sounds nice and all but... on An In-Depth Look At Game Piracy · · Score: 1

    If I labeled chocolate ice cream on a menu horseshit, would you really find it as appetizing as if it wasn't?

  3. It's perfect on Large Warhammer Patch In December, Two New Classes · · Score: 3, Informative

    In Novemeber people can go back to WotLK, then in December they can come back to WAR. Maybe Blizzard will offer something big and new in January.

  4. Bad move on Nintendo DSi Software Will Be Region Locked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well there goes any intention I had of upgrading. I have many import games. I also have many domestic games. I am not going to get two DSis just to play them all.

  5. Custom Firmware on Hands-On With the PSP-3000 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And the ease of putting it on here will probably be the biggest factor that determines whether this will sell.

  6. Preordering != Purchasing on Warhammer Online Open Beta To Begin September 7th · · Score: 1

    Never shopped at EBGames/Gamestop? All preorder deposits are refundable.

  7. Re:Oh yes... on Warhammer Online Open Beta To Begin September 7th · · Score: 2, Informative

    You realize you never have to actually buy the game right? Preorder from EB, get your beta card, cancel the preorder. Done.

  8. Won't be able to shoot many pics on Kodak Unveils 50MP CCD Image Sensor · · Score: 1

    If you shoot RAW. Only about 200 pics on a 16GB card. Even less if you do RAW+JPG.

  9. What about women? on Multitasking Considered Detrimental · · Score: 2

    Men's brains are more oriented towards focusing on a single task, while women's brains are designed for multitasking. So I'm not so sure that multitasking is really as detrimental for women.

  10. Not a party idea, but probably a good gift on Party Ideas For Math Nerds? · · Score: 1

    http://www.cafepress.com/triplenine.2445706 It's by the Triple Nine Society hence the clock theme. For party idea, look up abstract strategy games on boardgamegeek.com and try those.

  11. E-verify requirement on Bill Gates's Wish Is Homeland Security's Command · · Score: 1

    I heard only 1% of the companies in the US are even in the E-verify program, so this seems like a fluff announcement. But that's what I've heard, if anyone has an actual list or numbers that could be interesting to see.

  12. It's a conspiracy on TSA Limits Lithium Batteries on Airplanes · · Score: 1

    They aren't getting enough funding. The confiscated batteries will be sold back to you on Ebay.

  13. Just imagine if MS did this with Windows on Valve Responds to Steam Territory Deactivations · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can't believe people are actually trying to justify Valve's decision

  14. Re:You wouldn't know it from the game stores ... on PC The #1 Choice For Kids Gaming · · Score: 1

    Except there's already the mentality that PC games don't sell, so stores don't stock PC games, so PC gamers don't go to stores. It's not PC gamers that are lazy, it's game stores that are lazy. PC gamers just go to the non-gaming specialty stores and get their games there, because the non-specialty stores are also not lazy.

  15. Re:You wouldn't know it from the game stores ... on PC The #1 Choice For Kids Gaming · · Score: 1

    Why would people shop at a store that doesn't have a reliable stock of games when they can get it much more reliably online or, ironically, at a non-gaming specialty store?

  16. Re:You wouldn't know it from the game stores ... on PC The #1 Choice For Kids Gaming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's largely a self-fulfilling prophecy. When they devote all their resources to promoting consoles and ignoring PC games, is it any wonder that people don't buy as much PC games at their stores? And then they wonder why PC games sell like crap, and thus do even less for PC games.

  17. One day on The World's Languages Are Fast Becoming Extinct · · Score: 2, Funny

    We will all speak Common. The intelligent ones will still get bonus languages.

  18. Re:Well, the problem is also on UT3 Won't Feature Cross Play Capability · · Score: 1

    Or you playing by yourself against bots vs. me playing against the world any time I want. Not everyone has hardcore gamer friends who are always free to play whenever you are.

  19. Re:Ikaruga on Game Essentials - 20 Difficult Games · · Score: 1

    Shmups in general can be pretty hard. Just try 1CCing on Lunatic any Touhou game from the main series.

  20. Re:Are consumers that dumb? on Jobs to Labels- Lose the DRM & We'll Talk Price · · Score: 1

    I'd rather just buy the used CD and send the artist $1. That's multiple times more than they'd get from you buying a new CD.

  21. Re:Copyright Law on Harvard Law Professor Urges University to Fight RIAA · · Score: 1

    Um, wait. Wouldn't this apply to textbooks too?

  22. Re:Get your Stinking Paws off me, you damn dirty a on Chimps Found Making Own Weapons to Hunt for Food · · Score: 1

    That just makes you nothing more than a tasty snack along the path of simian evolution into fat humans.

  23. Re:Why is the /. community so opposed to this? on Truth in Ratings Act Reintroduced · · Score: 1

    Um, the equivalent for M-rated games is not Hustler or porno. That's the AO-rating. The equivalent would be something like the Alien series.

  24. I see great potential on Personality Secrets in Your MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    With combining this with a service like last.fm since it already automatically finds people with similar musical taste as you. Last.fm as a music dating service?

  25. Re:Right "rights". on Fight DRM While There's Still Time · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And what happens when said company goes bankrupt? Your music/movie goes poof with no server to authenticate it.
