  1. Re:Best. Game. Name. EVAR. on On The X68000's Obscure Majesty · · Score: 1

    Yes, it was a Castlevania game. They re-released it on the PSOne, along with a "remixed" version of it

  2. My question is this on Toshiba's Wristwatch PDA · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When is enough, enough?(When it comes to size factor) With PDAs, how small can you have them until they're no longer functionable?

  3. Re:Country Competition on Worlds Largest Scale Model Solar System? · · Score: 0

    First there's the competition to build the worlds largest skyscraper... now we can have a competition to build the world's largest scale model of the solar system!

    And then, the world's largest model of the world's largest skyscraper on the scale model of Earth.

  4. My question is this on Worlds Largest Scale Model Solar System? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Will they use slinkies to emulate a wormhole?

  5. hmm on Yellowstone Super-Eruption Threat Debunked · · Score: 1, Funny

    Their interview with USGS Yellowstone scientists covers all the angles and should inspire the mad-hatters to find something else to fear (for now)."

    That's what they want you to think.

  6. This settles it. on Upgrading Your Current System To Kernel 2.6 · · Score: 3, Funny

    BSD^H^H^H2.4 kernel is dying.

  7. So THAT'S how stars rip... on Chandra Sees Black Hole Rip Star Apart · · Score: 1

    ...I always pictured Hulk Hogan ripping the star apart.

  8. Re:VoIP and tech jobs on Free World Dialup Under The Gun Again · · Score: 1

    By that same logic, your post should have been sent via the postal system. It's not a perfect analogy, but I think the argument is similar to the one about email vs. the postal service. I don't think we need to outlaw innovation to protect jobs. /rant off


    If you REALLY want to get into specifics, shouldn't your message say "Your last post should have been sent via Pony Express"?

  9. Re:VoIP and tech jobs on Free World Dialup Under The Gun Again · · Score: 1

    So look for a job processing stupid bureaucratic garbage, no machine can ever figure out how to process it!


    Sure there is. Forward all incoming bureaucratic info to /dev/null

  10. Re:VoIP and tech jobs on Free World Dialup Under The Gun Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    When automated processes control the world, we won't need jobs. It's a step forward. Can I take the blue pill now?

  11. Three years ago? And one year ago? on Free World Dialup Under The Gun Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    Then this is obviously a dupe news post.

  12. About time. on DarwinPorts Project Crosses 1000 Ports Mark · · Score: 1, Funny

    I for one welcome our OSS porting overlords

  13. Microsoft's business plan for Mac? on Microsoft Brings Security Holes to the Mac · · Score: 0, Troll

    Step 1: Allow Windows viruses on VirtualPC to give malicious code-inserting hackers control of system
    Step 2: ???
    Step 3: Profit!

  14. Wait, I'm confused on N-Gage Endures As First-Party Games Readied · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Inconsistent sales in some areas have prompted GameStop to shift their [U.S.-based] N-Gage inventory; while the N-Gage is being pulled from 450 GameStop locations, this inventory will be moved to locations where sales have been stronger for Nokia's unit." So there's a Gamestop in "Non-existant Land" now? Is it across the street from the water-fueled hovercar dealer?

  15. Ok, this sounded interesting until I read... on Real Announces Helix Grant Winners · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ..the last sentence: Helix styles itself as "the first open multi-format platform for digital media creation, delivery and playback", and has been created by Real Networks. Real Networks? The same people who spawned the RealOne player? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the assumption that RealOne was a horrible player, so what incentive do I have for downloading this?

  16. I, personally would like to wish him success on Blizzard Confirms Co-Founder's Departure · · Score: 1

    In whatever field of work he moves in to next. He's led Blizzard this far(From what could be described as a "small dev house") to the still-reigning(IMHO) king of the RTS games. I tip my glass to you, sir.

  17. If every mp3 player is dubbed "iPod Killer" on Mix Wi-Fi and Portable Digital Audio, Get Aireo · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why is it that the iPods are still the #1 seller? Is it brand name recognization, or is it just that maybe Apple's product is better in the long run?

  18. Why is it seem that lately on Atari Shuts Down Legend Entertainment? · · Score: 1

    All of the good dev houses get shutdown, yet all of the utterly terrible ones get to survive?

  19. Correct me if I'm wrong... on Sun's new UltraSPARC workstation: the Blade 1500 · · Score: 1

    ...but with the power of the x86 processors, not to mention the plethora of software available for them, is there really THAT big of a market for UltraSPARC machines(Other than those who would buy one just to say they have one)?

  20. What intrigues me... on Open Source Awards 2004 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ...is why hasn't something like this been done BEFORE 2003? I mean, it seems like a great idea, so why wasn't there anything available?
