  1. Re:Perfectly Legal on Dad Builds 700 Pound Cannon for Son's Birthday · · Score: 1

    I heard they built a 700 pounder. That's a lot of gun powder.

  2. Re:Sexay! on Distributed "Nuclear Batteries" the New Infrastructure Answer? · · Score: 1

    Water on Mars... Three breasted women... Maybe Total Recall is a vision of the future after all.

  3. Re:Whoa boy... on Mad Scientist Brings Back Dead With "Deanimation" · · Score: 1

    I think nature has been doing this in hibernating animals for millions of years.

    You just wait until one of those dinosaurs emerges from it's long sleep under the Antarctic ice!

  4. Microwave on Recovering Moldy Electronics? · · Score: 0

    If you microwave each bit on high for a minute, that oughta kill the mould.

  5. Re:Even game demos! on Galactic Civilizations II Breaks DRM Mold · · Score: 1

    UT2003 had this exact feature. Take UT2003demo.exe, rename it and you're away laughing. Well, it worked after release, I'm not sure if it still does.

  6. Re:Already Done with White Noise Generators on Cube Privacy Via Gibberish · · Score: 1

    Funny, our White Noise Generator *is* the air conditioning. I can have my speakers running at a comfortable listening volume and you can't hear them over the wall.

  7. Re:Hello editors on Microrobot Developed at Dartmouth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Smaller" pertains to size, "less massive" to weight. Well, mass really. There is a distinct difference.

  8. Hitman 2 as a RPG on The Divorce of MMO and RPG · · Score: 1

    I've played most of the popular RPG's recently, currently playing WoW and a little bit of Guild Wars after spending a long time playing Neverwinter Nights, but the game I'd label most closely RPG would have to be Hitman 2.

    I went from a professional, a guy who really cared about his job to a mad man on a killing spree. It only hit me toward the end what had happened, that I was feeling (and acting in game) the way 47 would.

  9. Isn't the earth flat too? on Titan's Smooth Surface Baffles Scientists · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Last I checked 70% of the earths surface was +/- 50 meters too.

  10. Re:Does it have the UT2004 voiceovers? on Government Linux Gaming Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    In UT2004 you are able to set all announcements to UT2003, male, female or sexy.

  11. Re:Please stop having cats. on Review: Juvenile Felis Catus · · Score: 1

    You obviously haven't met our cat. She doesn't even bother cleaning herself, let alone trying to catch something live. She'll go outside, but only if it's dry, and only for long enough to use the garden, then she's standing at the door waiting to come back in.

  12. Re:EULA on Anatomy of a LAN Party? · · Score: 1

    WolfET is a love it or loath it game. It's the one game I simply refuse to play, and I play a lot of games. It's terrible. The experieced, who know what they are doing get improvements to their character, and end up wailing on everyone else who is trying to figure out the map and what the hell they are supposed to be doing. AAAARRRGGG! WolfET is the Spawn of the Devil.

  13. Re:If you repeat a lie often enough... on Wikipedia != Authoritative? · · Score: 1
    There is this thing called "The Media". It is like a shark. it feeds on anything and everything...including itself.
    Wouldn't that make the media more like a hyena?
  14. Re: Also... on 70% Of 2004 Virus Activity Down To One Man · · Score: 1

    That's because it takes 5 years to get out of kindergarten.

  15. Re:Where are the "Sound Acceleration" cards? on Cinematic Game Graphics · · Score: 1
    ...and they have to cheat like hell to make it work


    So did the forerunners in 3D worlds (Wolfenstein anyone?). That's how things work. We cheat until the hardware catches up.
  16. Visual pollution on High-Altitude 'Security Blimps' Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Now I live in New Zealand and these giant gas bags won't be showing up here any time soon, but I was wondering, will it be possible to see them from the ground? I expect not in the cities, but out where the air is clear?
