  1. Re:180 degrees on Internet Hunting · · Score: 1

    He'd have to go out and reload it eventually, and it'd be pretty stupid not to have mechanical stops on the tripod.

  2. Re:Gun rights primer on Internet Hunting · · Score: 1

    I think the real purpose of the all-volunteer army is to make it very clear that if you can't find enough people willing to lay down their lives for the war of the moment, maybe it's not something that's worth fighting for.

  3. Re:Red vs. Blue on Microsoft and SBC Team Up on IPTV · · Score: 1

    well, RvB was on one of the Xbox store demo discs.. presumably some funding and thus official sanction changed hands for that. Warms my heart, really.

  4. Re:DigSafe on Fl. County Halts FTTP Until Installation Is Safer · · Score: 1

    Here in south carolina you have to call each utility seperately.

  5. Re:Insanity on Students Tracked By RFID · · Score: 1

    Nah, the US is stiffly patrolled because traffic tickets are a good revenue center for small towns.

  6. Re:This is different. on Xbox Users Too Impatient for Class Action · · Score: 1

    It's a direct result of the crappy ZIF socket they used in the first-gen design. The top loading model is much more reliable. If you're feeling ambitious you might try taking your nes apart and bending the contacts out further with a long screwdriver or something so they grab the edge connector in the game pak better.

  7. Re:Nintendo on Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Launches · · Score: 1, Informative

    no, because unlike other big monopolistic companies that are against free software, Nintendo consistently turns in a top-notch product. Let's be honest here, they've got a more rabid fanbase than apple.

  8. Re:WoW on Everquest 2 vs. World of Warcraft Comparison · · Score: 1

    The first one human characters, and maybe some adventurous gnomes & dwarves that head south, will run across is most like Hogger. He's an 11 Giant Knoll along the border of Elwynn Forest and Westfall, you can get the quest from the wanted poster in front of the tower by the bridge. He was still fairly tough for my group, which was a 14 Mage and 12 Paladin

  9. Re:Get them over with on Gentoo Linux Releases 2004.3 · · Score: 0

    To finish the emerge in 4 weeks?

  10. Re:Make Bit Torrent part of the P2P app.... on Downhillbattle.org Bounty For P2P Gaim Plug-in · · Score: 1

    I don't know about very fast, more like very cheap for the file creator. WoW Open Beta anyone? (Human Mage Ethel on Test 34, if anyone is looking for group)

  11. Re:Shameless! on A Brief History of Contra · · Score: 1

    The worst part is that they're actually to-scale. Red got pasted on top of a gawker, you can see part of his leg on the left side

  12. Re:Shameless! on A Brief History of Contra · · Score: 1

    Dragging up contra, combined with the recent passing of Yasser Arafat, leaves me with only one thing to say

  13. Re:The best part is on MSN Search Roundup · · Score: 1

    aw man, they got rid of the timecube link too? bummer.

  14. The best part is on MSN Search Roundup · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's already getting either googlewhacked or biased from the inside. Just look at the top two results for searching "More evil than god" (no quotes)

  15. Re:Naah.... on The Future of Star Wars Gaming · · Score: 1

    Marry Me.

  16. Re:The question is not about a browser on Welkin: A General-Purpose RDF Browser · · Score: 1

    Hmm... firefox already has that capabilty for googling the highlighted text, and the search toolbar has plugins for dictionary.com, wikipedia and the like... this sounds like a quick & dirty plugin job for somebody that knows more than I do.

  17. Time to make a really shitty analogy.... on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 1

    Let's say Johnny's parents are very strict about making him clean his room. Jimmy, on the other hand, lives with foster parents and they don't make him clean up at all. Then, Jimmy & Johnny's parents decide that their neighborhood is looking kinda dumpy, so they agree to make Johnny paint his house and mow the lawn. Johnny is so pisssed at this that he murders his parents and goes to live in foster care with Jimmy. (*I told you, it's REALLY shitty)

  18. Re:What Morons on WPA Weak Key Cracker Posted · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Jesus christ, I hope you don't have a job in security. If all your packets are unencrypted, anybody can sniff them, see what MAC addresses are recieving traffic, and thus are on the whitelist. From there, it's a simple matter to spoof the MAC in software. This feature is built into linux, windows and OS X. The myth that MAC addresses are a universally unique identifier is dangerous and has to be dispelled.

  19. Re:This seems wrong to me on Review: Evil Genius · · Score: 1

    I dunno... video game geeks don't seem like they'd have the social and leadership skills for empire-building

  20. Re:I thought Pixar was done with Disney? on Teaser Trailer for 'Cars'; Info on 'Polar Express' · · Score: 1

    No, Disney's powers of evil-but-easily-overlooked contract clauses were so great that Toy Story 2 didn't count because it was a sequel.

  21. Re:Isn't Hello Kitty some goth thing? on Massively Multiplayer Hello Kitty · · Score: 1

    no, that's Happy Bunny(TM) of "mean people suck" fame

  22. Re:PC users should read this... on The Cult of Mac · · Score: 1

    when a part doesn't work as expected, one just buys a similar part by a different manufacturer from a different store and (barring an insanely expensive graphics card / processor being the faulty component in question), still comes out $500 ahead

  23. Re:Hey! Don't worry! on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Launch · · Score: 2, Funny

    if your computer is only 10x as fast as a PS/2, I doubt you'll be able to run it anyway.

  24. Re:Comparison on Kerry Blows Red Sox Stats, Again, and Again · · Score: 1

    Maybe he could remember the score better if he got Bosox injections...

  25. Re:Consider the parts you need... on How Cheap Can A PC Be? · · Score: 1

    From experience, the PCChips board includes a set of cables, but don't expect it to last more than 6 months.
