    I always did prefer Mercury. Also, I would eat a rectal thermometer, thank you very much.

  2. Re:Free Software may help... on Apple's Trend Away From Tinkering · · Score: 0

    Radio Shack has give up on tinkerers and hackers? It may no longer be the store it once was, but:

    What other store can you walk into and find HALF of this stuff? Obviously nothing will compare to the endless warehouse space of online stores, but even Radio Shacks located in mall still have four sets of parts drawers and at least a wall's worth of tools, connectors, enclosures, and parts. They're certainly supporting the "tinkering" community more than any other national retail chain.

  3. Re:Shame, Shame on iPhone App Causes Google To Shut Down SMS Service · · Score: 0

    //Hey Inner Fence...do your customers look like they have the letters S-T-U-P-I-D painted on their foreheads?

    I would reply to that but I would just get modded as a troll...

  4. Re:$30? Seriously? on Nintendo To Start Publishing Ebooks On the DS · · Score: 0

    No, you NEED a Cyclo DS Evolution. SDHC support, text reader even while running homebrew/games, battery saver mode, still supported.

  5. Sidekick? on T-Mobile To Open App Store For All of Their Phones · · Score: 0

    The Sidekick platform has had it's own proprietary app store with this type of revenue sharing scheme for quite a few years now, possibly since the platform was released.

  6. Re:sage on Novels Composed on Cellphones Topping Japanese Best Seller Lists · · Score: 0

    I HRD U LIK SLASHKIPS!?

  7. 9/11 on The Real Reasons Phones Are Kept Off Planes · · Score: 1, Funny

    Didn't some guy call his wife from one of the 9/11 planes? It's not like that plane cra-wait, nevermind.

  8. Cancelling AOL on AOL Tries New Tactic to Keep Customers · · Score: 1, Funny

    Good god, I had a wonderful time cancelling AOL. After the usual jibberish and being told that music, videos, instant messaging, and forums are only about 10% of the internet, the rep tried to tell me first that the iTunes music store was illegal, then that AOL owned it, then proceeded to try to convince me that the AOL browser was open source and far more secure than Firefox. After all this I got a cancellation number or some such thing and the rep told me the account was cancelled...then I still got a bill. I just cancelled my credit card after that, the teller at the bank informed me that ALOT of people wind up doing this because of AOL.

  9. Norway? on Record Meteorite Hits Norway · · Score: 0

    More like Snorway!

  10. Re:give me 98 over XP anyday on Microsoft Stops Supporting Win98 Early · · Score: 0

    Actually, with a few simple tweaks, including checking a box for disabeling all of the eye candy, XP runs decently on minimal hardware.

    Not to say that 98SE isn't a damn fine operating system, but XP isn't that bad for five and six year old hardware.

  11. Re:Street Fighter 3 : Third Strike on Games That Defined The Dreamcast · · Score: 0

    Actually, to my knowledge it's just a matter of the fact that nothing can emulate Naomi boards yet, i.e. MvC2, SF3:3rd, GGXX, etc.

  12. All too familiar... on NASA Priorities Out of Whack? · · Score: 0

    Car full of midgets!

  14. Of course on How Songs Get Popular · · Score: 0

    If you're looking at a list of songs, and some are rated as being very good whereas others are rated as not, which ones are you going to listen to? Will you listen to the lower rated songs simply for being low rated? Of course not, you're going to give the high-rated songs a shot first, because when a mojority of people like something, there's a good chance that peoploe will like them. Not that this has any bearing on the actual quality of the songs, which is based solely in opinion.

    Why isn't THIS being modded up?

    Alot of people here appear to think the man was literally beaten...

  18. Scariest? on Who's Afraid of Shinra Tower? · · Score: 0

    I think alot of people are missing the point...

    Everyone is saying "ZOMG suxx0r, FFVII is not teh scary, check out!!!"

    This is more of a commentary on the elements that help game developers/artists get undera player's skin then her saying that FFVII is a really scary game.

  19. Re:No Santa's Little Helper on Homer Becomes Omar · · Score: 0

    Yes and yes.

    But the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament pretty much starts off by saying "OK, so that stuff *was* kind of crazy, so just try to stick to the important stuff, and even if you don't, it's ok, you can still come over to watch football on Sunday's, Noah's got that kickin' salsa.

  20. Re:thats the problem with US phone networks on Settlement Good News for MotorolaV710 Owners · · Score: 0

    I assure you, T-Mobile and Cingular lock thier phones, and are decently stingy about unlocking, Cingular moreso than T-Mobile.

  21. Used Music on Jobs Resists Music Industry Pressure · · Score: 0

    CD Warehouse, Bargain Bin, no CD over $3.99, buy three get one free, most CDs are .99 cents.

    I can get 10-20 CDs for the price of one at Wal-Mart or any other retailer.

  22. THE PHONE NUMBER IS NOT FOR ASSOCIATION on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: 0

    They use the phone number to use SMS for signing up to make sure it's REAL PEOPLE activating accounts, they're nto sending spam to your phone. /. Mindset:

    E-Mail = SPAM

    At /., we reed um reel gud.

  23. Re:Open to everyone? on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: 0

    The SMS activation is only available to US citizens because they can only text to US phone numbers, you can still invite anyone.

  25. Re:Damn on Hot Coffee Content Within GTA Confirmed · · Score: 0

    Pretty much every DVD says "Bonus/Extra content Unrated".

    Not to mention that you don't NEED to get a rating for a movie, but the only rating you can get without being reviewed is X.

    Then again, do game companies HAVE to get a rating before releasing a game? I honestly don't remember if it's required by law.
