  1. Re:Real time ? on Animated Short - This Wonderful Life · · Score: 1

    In other words, the in-game graphics in Warcraft will look like the cutscenes :)

  2. Re:Reboots on Hikarunix: The Go Distro · · Score: 1

    It's funny--Westerners are more likely to have heard of Go, but Shogi and (especially) Xiangqi are WAY more played. Maybe it's Hanziphobia.

  3. Re:Go is flawed on Hikarunix: The Go Distro · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The simplicity of Go actually makes it seem a bit inelegant when people play it--namely that it is not self-evident when the game is over. I'm not necessarily saying that this is a flaw, although people sometimes continue playing games whose outcome is already decided. I think the most "natural" way to play would be to use Chinese scoring rules, and keep playing until every space is filled up, but that would be tedious and unnecessary.

  4. Re:It's google's job to give balanced news on Optimizing News Sites For Google News · · Score: 3, Funny

    Except that Google doesn't post dupes a week later :)

  5. Re:Credit card ? on Verisign Develops Token for Age Verification · · Score: 1

    Surely Santos L. Halper is a responsible adult!

  6. Re:I for one... on Camera that Sees through Smoke and Fog Underway · · Score: 2, Funny

    Tin foil, of course.

  7. Re:Fixes on Assessing Internet Viruses Like Human Epidemics · · Score: 2, Funny
    We all know how smallpox spreads. We do not know how to cure it.

    In computer terms, however, we pwnt teh shit out of smallpox.

  8. Re:Until I can watch ... on 2.2 inch LCD Display featuring VGA Resolution · · Score: 1

    I like Bedrich Smetana, but that's audio.

  9. Re:Alex, I'll take Level 6 for $200 on "Levels" of Computers the Future? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Every time you hit a nail with a hammer, Schrödinger kills a kitten...

  10. Re:Games on DVD on Steam Hardware Survey Results · · Score: 2, Informative

    The last two games I got for my Mac, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Battlefield 1942, were DVD-only. For once vendor lock-in on the hardware is an advantage, since one hasn't been able to get Macs with a DVD drive for a bit now.

  11. Re:The movement on Open Source Licensing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Brak's mother said that the world would be a better place if we'd all just spend a little more time on the toilet.

  12. Re:Next in line... on Mechanical Pong · · Score: 1

    If the Roman Empire had never fallen, we wouldn't have the special effects that we have today, because there would be no need for fake blood or any such nonsense.

  13. Re:It's going to be interesting... on Whois Record Falsification Closer To Illegality · · Score: 1

    Sounds a lot like mail fraud. Whenever they charge a guy with a white collar crime you hear, "He lied for years! He stole millions from the pension fund! He destroyed the company! He ruined people's lives! And worst of all...he committed mail fraud!!!"

  14. Re:WHAT???? on Order in the e-Court! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, but in the profound reasoning that is Christianity, suicide is worse than murder since you can atone for murder after the fact, but not suicide.

  15. Re:Chat... but what about phone? on Nintendo DS to Launch November 21 · · Score: 1

    The real question is...will it support sidetalking?

  16. Re:Perpetual also-rans have a place in this world. on Ask Jeeves Looks to Outshine Google · · Score: 1

    It's a feature, not a bug. After all, you're only going to get pop-up ads in a browser broken enough to display /. correctly :)

  17. Re:"May not get built without help from U.S. Gov.. on The Space Elevator - Public or Private? · · Score: 1

    I think his point is that the Constitution limits the federal government to exercising only those powers granted by the Constitution, instead of the status quo which is whatever they can get away with. I'm sure that /. posting is interstate commerce.

  18. Re:Jerry Maguire on A Wi-Fi/VoIP Phone Booth In the Burning Man Desert · · Score: 1

    Composer is what I was getting at, and the only one I care about. But instead of just adding composer, why not make it so you can set the criterion for each column to any attribute in the song information (even the ones that aren't part of id3 tags)? It would be a lot more elegant I think.

  19. Re:You Know It's Funny... on The Secret Behind the iPod Scroll Wheel · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'd like to know how many Apple employees actually use the one-button mouse. After all, OS X takes advantage of a two-button scroll wheel mouse; Safari even opens links in a new tab if you middle-click. And using X11 programs with a one button mouse is just pathetic.

  20. Re:Jerry Maguire on A Wi-Fi/VoIP Phone Booth In the Burning Man Desert · · Score: 2, Funny

    He must be talking about haxxxor.com

  21. Re:Related maybe interesting link on Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik Answers · · Score: 1

    Bush: Terrorism! Terrorism! Terrorism! Terrorism!
    Kerry: Vietnam! Vietnam! Vietnam! Vietnam!
    Badnarik: Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!

  22. Re:synergy! on Human-Powered Spam Filtering · · Score: 3, Informative

    "What do you do?"
    "I produce synergy. And books on how to cheat at Bridge."

  23. Re: What does it feel like to make a choice? on Are Journalism and Politics Inextricably Joined? · · Score: 2, Informative
    I recommend 12 Angry Men for some insight into the decision-making process :)

    Seriously though, just because you don't feel a thing doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

  24. Re:Mac version??? on Doom 3 Demo Available · · Score: 1

    You know it's funny, when the G3 Yosemite came out, one of the advertisements for it featured Halo (which was a Mac native game at the time). You'd be lucky to get even a double digit framerate in Halo on a G3, though.

  25. Re:Mac version??? on Doom 3 Demo Available · · Score: 3, Informative

    Doom 3 is coming out for Mac, though there is no word on when.
