  1. Re:Sounds like a good book on The DV Rebel's Guide · · Score: 2, Informative

    Robert Rodriguez made a popular low-budget flick, and then wrote a book about it. Interesting story, though it's for analog films not digital, now he tends to mention how much he loves digital.

  2. Re:They deserve props, no matter what on Rockstar's Road To Ruin · · Score: 1

    ...mostly because nobody would want to play the everyday normal people/businesses/etc that would have to make up the bulk of the population in a game like that.

    Yeah, and nobody would ever fish for hours on end to catch a specific type of fish in a video game either...

  3. Re:Play by their rules, or else on Sony Blackballs Blog Over PS3 Rumor · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since when does SONY dictate what journalists (let alone BLOGS) publish?

    Since those BLOGS started getting special information news favours from SONY.

    If a prostitute is sucking your cock you don't punch her in the mouth. The blog should have been aware of who was greasing their pole, and refrained from balling up their fist.

  4. Re:Star Wars: Galaxies on MMOGs and Sandbox-Style Play · · Score: 3, Funny

    When Star Wars: Galaxies first came out it was more of a sandbox game

    Well, you were on Tatooine.

  5. Hmm.. on Father of Internet Warns Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I thought Al Gore was too busy with Global Warming to comment on Net Neutrality.

  6. I helped to build.. on What's the Coolest Thing You've Ever Built? · · Score: 1

    ...four robots over 4 years while in high school for the FIRST Robotics Competition. The first two years they were completely human controlled, the next to (and every year sense) there has been a time period of automation before human control takes over.

  7. Fake Number on Zune Sales Not So Bad After All · · Score: 1

    It's a fake number (term stolen from Studio 60). It's the first week of sales, that's when the most units are pushed. Look at a cd sale: the first week has the biggest numbers and it dwindles from there. A mainstream album could push the most sales ever in a debut, but can it hold up to Michael Jackson's Thriller in the long run?

  8. Wait, so... on Universal Wants a Slice of Apple's iPod Pie · · Score: 1

    ...songs bought through the Itunes Store are stolen?

  9. Re:Funny? on Bomb Explodes At PayPal Headquarters · · Score: 1

    Any employee of Paypal knew the risks. If they were killed it was their own fault. A Paypal employee listens to this *taps heart* not his wallet.

  10. But... on Wii Will Have an Updatable Linux OS · · Score: 1

    ...does it run linux^^^^^windows?

  11. Re:A 21st century update to the old moped joke... on Segway Recalling 23,000 Scooters · · Score: 1

    Segways are like fat chicks. They're both fun to ride until one of your friends sees you....

    Then you have to let him try it.

  12. Re:Where's the computer? on How Do You Punish a 16-year-old Spammer? · · Score: 1

    As long as he can have a dog and a jar of peanut butter.

  13. Is it only kids? on Teen Creates Device to Track Speeding · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I took an internship this summer that forced me to drive a 1/2 hour to work. When you're cutting through a city and then taking the interstate highway every day you tend to see a lot of cars and a lot of crazy driving. I fail to see how children are the only problem, when people from every demographic seem to speed, and not just a little. Is it because the kids are getting hurt? Could that have something to do with inexperience? Or is it just that adult speeding isn't getting reported because they get out of speeding tickets more often (no basis for fact here, just a possibility).


    In terms of the specific unit from TFA, Delorme has come out with something that can do relatively the same thing, minus the phoning home. The data it collects can be used in an Atlas or GIS program to do pretty much the same thing as this new unit. The tools have been out there, this teen just used one in a way that would ensure he wouldn't get laid.

  14. Re:Consider Symbian -- phew too much porn on PDA for Tech Savy Students? · · Score: 1

    *cough*sybian*cough*

  15. Re:Free? RIAA will never allow it on YouTube to Offer Every Music Video Ever Created? · · Score: 1

    MTV doesn't play videos...

    Only parts of videos...

    Sometimes...

    During a blue moon...

    At 3:55 in the morning.

  16. Re:Making sacrifices on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1
    "In a war people must make sacrifices. Consider your bottle of Evian as one of them."
    You mean a copy of the Constitution drenched in Evian, right?
  17. Re:All historic theories aside.... on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1

    Otterman? Now I know furniture had its own empire, but animals? That's just unnecessary, next thing you know there will be snakes on planes!

  18. Re:Now, what conclusions can you draw from this on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1

    I concur, we have plane crashes (that don't hit towers or the pentagon), and a day later they're not een blips in the news.

  19. Re:TSA just anounced the new restrictions on on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1

    Here is the pulse






    here is your finger, far from the pulse.

  20. Is anyone else... on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...more angry about the hassle this causes, than anything else? Terrorists spread terror, so they've hit their mark. By being foiled the plot does an amazing amount of damage on its own, spreading FUD.

    I don't feel any safer by having my liquids/toenail clippers/pocket vibe/ipod/laptop taken away from me, when there are plenty of other ways to kill/be killed that airlines have no control over. I am more angry at terrorists for making American privacy close(er) to extinction than anything else. With a "war" on "terror" there are going to be casualties, my water consumption/music listening/laptop using/game playing/phone usage habits shouldn't be at the top of the list.

    Why does the scapegoat have to be the common citizen?

  21. Re:Just a hop, skip and a jump.... on Strange New 'Twin' Worlds Found · · Score: 1

    You mean Jenna Jameson's breasts?

  22. Re:The Solution on UK Street Crime Rise Blamed on iPods · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, but the story in the US would be titled something like "City crime rate increasing for 10th straight year; homicide biggest crime increase"

  23. I don't understand... on Gold Mining Bacteria · · Score: 1

    ...how this can be. Gold Mining is strictly prohibited by Blizzard's EULA.

  24. They need something.... on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...to shoot down those snake infested planes.

  25. Re:Non-compete? Ugh. on Another Microsoft Exec Joins Google · · Score: 1

    they are a freakin' search company, and MS is not a search company.
