  1. Market for Aftermarket on Xbox 2 - The Price of Compatibility? · · Score: 1

    If it is SUCH a big deal, allow another vendor to create emulator hardware. Then the truly de-evolutionists can buy the extra parts and leave us cheap bastards to the 'new only' consoles.

  2. Re:Get them out of this buisness.... on Leaked X-Box 2 Specs Include PPC CPU · · Score: 1

    As opposed to Mario overload? I can, however, see the possibilities: Mario Xtreme Beach Volleyball-Flannel Thong; Mario Gear Solid; Mario and the Plumbers of the Old Republic; Grand Theft Mario.

  3. Paper or plastic? on Maryland Electronic Voting Systems Found Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    Seems to me if you address the security issues, the paper trail can be eliminated if a dual-phase auto-log of EVERY session on the voting machines would save some trees and provide the auditability sorely needed. No voting machine should be implemented that cannot be traced. Diebold's 'We cannot answer how the results were reached' is unacceptable. Use a high-quality, high-security database, have 2 separate auto logs of the voters transactions (selected 'Pat Buchanan', sobered up, selected 'Anyone but him') should be tracked, along with machine ID, card ID, GPS position, date/time, voter ID. I do not give a RFA (rat's f***ing ass) about elephant or ass - every president in my life time has been a giant CF. Last election proved people are too dumb to figure out paper voting. That's why McDonalds uses food pictures for their register jockeys.

  4. Re:CD/DVD delivery is not consumer friendly on Bleak Future for Videogame Customers · · Score: 1

    For the light gamer that would be a price savings, but never forget the wants of the 'historic' game. The person that wants to go back and play games that are many years old. How many of these would still be available? Since the p2p model is an up or out model (planned retirement), I forsee only the popular titles every making it to an 'archive' subscription.

    Just like the East Coasters that 'Axe' me a question! Does that make it shorter? And all users of 'Ain't' should be caned!!

    Wow, you are such a fuck stick! Gore won? Might want to go back and check. Although I did not vote for him, Bush won ('ooh, but not the popular vote' - 'the Supreme court stole it for him', boo fucking hoo - if Florida is too stupid to vote then they get what they got). If you would actually interpret what I wrote you would see I do not like either side of out 2 party system. And Gore's statement when the 'invent' story came out, to paraphrase, was that he had a significant hand in the process (I saw video of this statement - maybe Cheney had it doctored?) When the 'best' (term used lightly) president in my lifetime (Kennedy died before I was born) is Ronald R., that is pretty sad. And I will NEVER be back to the farm - and FYI our red tape happened during the middle and end of Jackass Jimmy's watch and never improved when the GOP took over. How can anyone survive selling product for $1.25 when the lowest cost, corporate farm or not), was $1.75 (ours was more like 2.00), and the foreign markets that may save you are shut due to your president? On the space issue, I think all we will do for a long time is send a few probes to Mars and Saturn and any politicians promising it are doing so for political gain only. And since when do I sponsor the Greenhouse? I ride motorcycles that get 70+ mpg, and less fuel consumption means less C. Dioxide, meaning less Greenhouse. Can you top that? Add to that the proposals I always forward forcing E85 and ethanol fuels on the ignorant public. Lowers smog-producing emissions to relative 0 and removes ALL foreign oil dependency. Top that off with my Energy Star house (and future Solar) and I do less harm than most people. If you can find me a non-Socialist, non-pure Capitalist candidate that does not lie, please let me know - and send them to Ripley's. Clinton lied (under oath), Carter lied - even the great Kennedy lied (and Reagan and 2 Bushies)! And I may disagree w/the Iraq war (yet another political ploy), but I would have done far more in Afghanistan (and the Phillipines). You probably would have shit your pants and given them money and asked them to please stop murdering our people (more than Americans died there BTW). Remain a stooge of our current Government system, you brainless twit, and we will remain on the downward spiral until Mexico looks like paradise.

  7. Re:bottlerocketeer on Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars · · Score: 1

    Your rant has very little weight when you include Carter as a president that represented the people. A president that destroyed the nation's economy and the family farm - unless you were a peanut grower (I worked a farm at that time so I know). Clinton just wanted the TV cameras out of the Oval office so he could bang another uggo. It's rather sad when you run the Dumbocrat line blindly (or Repukelican for that matter). Although I believe it is election year blather, planning missions to Mars is a neat idea. Permanent base on the moon? Maybe as an alternative to the ISS. I would be shocked to discover that a President/Presidential hopeful would lie to get elected ('I invented the internet WHILE being the main character in Love Story') but I guess it is possible.
