  1. "George’s genius was realizing..." on The Nuking of Duke Nukem · · Score: 4, Insightful

    “George’s genius was realizing where games were going and taking it to the next level...” No. From TFA, it appears that as far as DNF is concerned, George was not an innovator at all. Instead of coming up with his own ideas, he wasted 12 years trying to play catch-up to every new shiny thing that got released.

  2. Re:Wow. on NASA Attempts To Assuage 2012 Fears · · Score: 1

    We have to build them first.

  3. But here in the good old USA... on German Killers Sue Wikipedia To Remove Their Names · · Score: 1

    And here in the good old US of A if you are an 18 year old that gets caught having sex with his 16 year old girlfriend, not only will you do some prison time, but your name will appear on the publicly available sex offender website for the rest of your life.

  4. Re:WHEW --- almost feinted there on "District 9" Best Sci-fi Movie of 09? · · Score: 1

    Remember the series called "Roswell"? My ex and I always referred to that show as "nine-oh-UFO"

  5. I use three HD's... on How To Store Internal Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    For backup, I use three HD's and rotate them:

    1-Caddy (unposered) - will be used on next backup, then moved off-site.

    2-Closet - will be moved to caddy after next backup

    3-OFFSITE (locked in my desk at work) - this is the most recent back up, and will be moved to closet after next backup.

    After a backup, the rotation looks like this:

    1 goes to 3
    2 goes to 1
    3 goes to 2

  6. Re:what about the obvious ? on Road Rage Linked To Automobile Bumper Stickers · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. You obviously have all your "science" education from high school or some engineering college. Only idiots who tag stories like this with correlationisnotcausation think science is causation studies. It's not. Ahhh yes... the social scientist mantra... "We can't really prove anything logically, so we'll resort to emotive dismissal and public belittlement of those that disagree with us." Sweet.

    Denial is the first sign of addiction.

  8. Re:Meanwhile, in Baghdad on Killer Military Robot Arms Race Underway? · · Score: 1

    You are overlooking the simple fact that terrorists will intentionally target civilians without remorse, and as a matter of policy, the U.S. military goes to great lengths to avoid targeting civilians.

  9. Re:Won't affect anybody on Rick Rubin Discloses Sony Rootkit Called Home · · Score: 1

    You fail.

    i like Neil Dimund and i am not dum.

  12. Rebates on OfficeMax Drops Mail-in Rebates · · Score: 1

    I'd love to see these things done away with.
    I'm still waiting for a check from a hard drive I bought back in 1997.

    The whole thing is silly...
    Why should I hand over my money to someone, and then beg them to give it back to me?
    Sound like a game that only an idiot would enjoy.

  13. Re:Texas law on lethal force in protecting propert on Texas Sues Sony BMG over Rootkit · · Score: 1

    "Let It Be" was written by Paul McCartney as a tribute to his mother, whose real name was actually "Mary".

  14. Re:Engineers don't cut, but media limits can on World's Most Powerful Subwoofer · · Score: 1

    Not true... When mixing, it's common practice for a sound engineer to "low shelf" (cut the bass below a certain point) everything except for bass guitar (or synth-bass) and drums.

    Guitars, vocals, etc, do contain information in that range, but it's not useful in terms of the mix itself, and can quickly turn a mix into a muddy mess.

    Cutting those frequencies makes sonic room for those tracks that actually need that space - like an aural jigsaw puzzle.

  15. #1 on Top 25 Innovations of the Past 25 Years · · Score: 2, Funny

    Praised and adored by lonely and dateless geeks everywhere, the "Real Doll" was voted to be the most important invention of the last 25 years.

  16. faraday cage on RFID Cards to Include Tin Foil Hats? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't a faraday cage have to be grounded in order to work properly?

  17. Knock it off. on pcHDTV Card Available, Legal for Now · · Score: 1

    Jesus people. Just quit watching the damn television and do something else. What is the big effing deal?!?
    Yes, I'm one of those "I don't watch TV" people... But *I* started the movement.
    Go outside or something, ya worthless bunch of pansy-a$$ed pasty looking slaves to the flickering photon. Turn it off.
    /off for more booze.

  18. Re:Contractor Discussion Relevant on Star Wars Minutiae · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The guerillas are actively targeting the reconstruction crews in Iraq. They view them in the same light that they view the armed forces. Now that we sit on the Empire's side of the whole contractor debate, do we view the death of the contractor's as any more or less tragic then the death of the soldiers?

    Very simple...

    The contractor's working on The Death Star were building a weapon capable of detroying entire planets.

    The contractor's in Iraq are trying to rebuild a country as to provide a better life for it's citizens.

    Any questions?
