  1. The New Characters on Nintendo, Miyamoto Preview 2004 Releases · · Score: 1

    I want to see what the ideas for new characters are. After all the ideas he has already come up with - especially some of his further out (but nevertheless popular) ideas, like Pikmin - I'm sure his future ideas are even better.

  2. Re:The possible reasons on Halo PC Updates Delayed, Much Desired · · Score: 1

    How much buggier can the patches be compared to the original?

  3. Wait a while on Samsung Puts Satellite TV in Cell Phones · · Score: 4, Informative

    A vital step towards realizing the service -- the successful launch of the satellite that will carry the programming -- has yet to be made.

    Looks like we won't be seeing this for a few years, at least.

  4. Punctuation or meaning? on Kids Improve Writing Online · · Score: 1

    What you failed to mention was whether her speech had any meaning to it.

    It's true that spelling and punctuation are important, but that's not what this article was stressing - and that makes the poster's comments even worse. It is more how a student is able to write better than how they are able to put a comma in the right place. We should still be faulting people for their mistakes in punctuations and grammar, but only when it fails to convey their meaning properly.

  5. Writers do it to themselves on Kids Improve Writing Online · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What is improving the writing of students - or even adults - may be communities like this, but only if the person is so inclined to improve him or herself. Or instead have people pushing them to change. My brother, for example, is involved in a role playing game played via e-mail. He is on top of his grammar and spelling, while others are not.

    Some will never get off their 'u r 2 kewl' and onto meaningful spelling. It's when you are writing for a larger audience than a high school English class that you become more obsessed with the way you convey your meaning. (That's what makes writing this comment so hard!)
