  1. http://www.overnightwebsitechallenge.com/ on Tech-Related Volunteer Gigs · · Score: 1

    The company I work for does an annual event were we bring developers together to build web sites for non profits. http://www.overnightwebsitechallenge.com/

  2. I think this will be a good thing for the game on Fallout 3 Gets Leaked, Goes Gold · · Score: 1, Interesting

    There are not a lot of 360's out there that can run pirated games, this may help the game more than it will hurt it.

  3. Re:I can't see them stopping cheating. on Using Money As Incentive For Competition On Consoles? · · Score: 1

    I don't think the company would care too much about cheating. As long as people pay a fee to enter they make money. Microsoft and Sony will be the ones that will most likely try to shut this down.

  4. Re:Hardly hacked on Microsoft Programming Contest Hacked and Defaced · · Score: 1

    I am with you this site was not hacked, seems like some are so quick to jump on MS about anything. By the way the guy who submitted the article is the same guy who wrote it.

  5. There is good work in MN on Unemployment Hits New High In Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    6.8 unemployment in MN? Were I work in MN we are having a hard time finding a good qualified programmers.

  6. Re:Old Skool Science Mavericks on McCain Answers Science Policy Questionnaire · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Whatever hotness she has she loses when she opens her mouth.

  7. Re:Part of the eHarmony matrix? eHarmony MMPORG! on Love In The Time of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Funny, but if someone tryed to do that for a dating service it would not work. Because people would know its for dating and act better.

    But when you are in normal game situations you will react somewhat like you react in real life. Also 29% of woman dating people from MMORPGs I need to watch who my wife is going on raids with...

  8. Apple is just another PC maker on Apple's Device Model Beats the PC Way · · Score: 0, Troll

    They just happen to have an os.

    But really what makes OS10 so much better than Windows?

  9. Why they think evey one will switch? on Boot Camp For Suckers? · · Score: 1

    When OSX came out I was excited about it being built on FreeBSD. And not much later I had the chance to work with it for a few months. The switch is not that easy if you are used to a windows world. Fustrations grew when I had to program on them. Nothing really worked the same way and was a real headach. I know there are many more that would have a hard time making the switch even if they wanted to.

    Rember Macs are now just PC's that run OSX too.

  10. if this keeps up Games will have to be sumited for on Bethesda Responds To Oblivion Re-Rating · · Score: 1

    If this keeps up games may have to be submited for review by ESRB when they go gold and then given a rating after a review period.

  11. I would rather play HL2 on 360 on Valve Developing For 360 · · Score: 1

    it would look pretty good on my 32" TV. They were saying they were having isuess with the HD not aways being there, I say just make the game require the HD, and make the game better.

  12. The PS2 is so last Gen on Why is Kingdom Hearts II So Popular? · · Score: 1

    I dont get why KH2 is doing so well, guess there are so many PS2's out there people have to buy something. My PS2 has not been hooked up for a long time now. Too be honest it hurts my eyes to play PS2 games.

  13. its going to get bigger before it levels out on Virtual World, Real Money · · Score: 1

    I have a feeling that this game is going to get bigger pretty soon. It going to be the next MySpace. And there is still time to get in and make some money. You just have to find a place to make money.

    One of my issues with the game is finding stuff to do. The strip clubs get boring fast and I have never set foot in Casino. Where are the other things to do?

  14. Comcast Has nothing on my Tivo on TiVo May Be a Buyout Target · · Score: 1

    Had a Tivo for about two year no problems, great extras. Went HD with comcast DVR, 1 returned box, frezzes, sound cut outs.

  15. Late April Fools Joke? on Pirates of The Carribean MMOG in 2007 · · Score: 1

    Lets all jump on the MMO band wagon, How about the Dr Phil MMORGP

  16. It wont pass - They will try to Tack Gay Marrage B on MN Bill Would Require Use of Open Data Formats · · Score: 1

    Some people in the MN goverment think its a good idea to try to tack a Gay Marrage Ban on every bill. So I dont think it will pass.

  17. One Nation Under Survalance on Unmanned Aerial Drones Coming Soon Above U.S. · · Score: 1

    Time to break out some old Public Enimey tapes, Watch some X Files, and good ol tin foil hat.

  18. Wife wont get Vista For Christmas on Heads Roll As Microsoft Misses Vista Target · · Score: 3, Funny

    I am so sad now that I cant get her Vista for Christmas, I am sure may other of you are and in same boat. Because Vista was the Must have gift this year.

    The truth is that MS is trying to get this on right, and waiting to ship Vista untill its done, at the same time they are being honest with us about ship date and features. Funny we bash them for shiping buggy programs and then bash them for holding back a buggy program.

  19. Who wanted to upgrade anyways on Office Delayed, Too · · Score: 1

    Is this really a big deal, Who wanted to upgrade office 2003 does just fine for me.

    And maybe MS is doing the right thing and getting the program right before they ship it.

  20. Listen to more Podcasts than Music on iTunes Use Surges Past QuickTime, RealPlayer · · Score: 1

    On my Ipod I listen to more Podcasts than music. Audio Books are great too. Nothing better to pass the time at work.

    At home video casts have become a big thing since building a Media PC for my TV.

  21. Square and MS are getting friendly on FFXII's Japanese Release · · Score: 1

    With FFXI on 360 and more games to come who says FFVII remake wont come to 360?

  22. I can see XBL being free in a few years on PlayStation Network Details · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If the Live market place keeps doing as well as it is now I can see MS making it free to play games on live and the Market Place downloads paying for the upkeep.

  23. I feel its too late on FFXII's Japanese Release · · Score: -1, Troll

    I cant play my PS2 any more it just looks too junky. I waited for the GTA games to come to Xbox to play them. And I really cant see going out an buying FFXII when ever it comes to NA.

    Maybe Square will do an 360 version.

  24. More Proof that the "Terrorist" are Winning on Bill Could Restrict Freedom of the Press · · Score: 1

    I said before that they are winning and this is more proof that they are. How do you destroy a free nation, take away their freedoms.

    I have a feeling that one day if someone makes too much noise they will be locked away and labeled a "terrorist". In 08 what will happen if W does not give up the presidency or another election is taken a third time?

    Maybe we should start being mindful of what we say now; it may come back to haunt us...

  25. Re:MMORPGs on consoles? on No WoW for the 360 · · Score: 1

    you forgot to say what server you were on...

    and then anwser to your question is you dont use the controller you go and buy a USB keyboard and mouse...
