  1. Re:It's not a bug... on Apple iBook G4 Design Flaw Proven · · Score: 1

    You *can* fly with current cars! Just not very far. And the landing might be a bit rough.

  2. Re:More laws are the key ... to EVERYTHING on Personal Data Exposed! Can Legislation Fix It? · · Score: 1

    It should be compulsory for those who exposes the personal data to call everyone on the list and tell them that their data has been exposed.

  3. Re:Dog-and-mouse on Dogs Trained to Sniff Out Piracy · · Score: 1

    I guess they pirates will have to try and hide the smell of DVD-Rs with something, like packages of heroin.

  4. Why have game shows? on GDC Losing Focus In E3's Wake? · · Score: 1

    With all current-gen game consoles having internet capabilities, the game companies should just feed game trailers and info to the consoles.

    We'd watch it.

    Wii might need more storage space though.

  5. Re:Woo-Hah! on New Blender Released · · Score: 1

    No, but apparently it supports baking. That's quite an incredible blender!

  6. Re:Forehead or Back of the hand? on VeriChip Implants 222 People With RFID · · Score: 1

    I hear the nose ring version is getting popular.

  7. Re:Wow! It does all that? on Motorola Unveils Phone That Bends · · Score: 1

    For what other reason would you want to put the phone up to your face?

    On second thought, don't answer that.

  8. Re:dont blame Google. on Google Blurring Sensitive Map Information · · Score: 1

    One of the experiments in the nuclear research facility must've gone awfully wrong, and warped the space/time continuum. Making things, erh, more pixelated. Just like the first DOOM.

  9. Re:Microsoft seems to be confident that the Vista on Vista Upgrades Require Presence of Old OS · · Score: 3, Funny

    Format usually repairs your OS, losing things like your documents, photos and e-mails is just collateral damage.

  10. Re:Good stuff but short lived maybe? on Elebits and Warioware - Bad Wii and Good Wii · · Score: 1

    Forget Star Wars, I want Prince of Tennis on the Wii! ..but then again, there's the issue of regions, so even if they did make that game in Japan, I guess I wouldn't be able to play it. :(

  11. Re:Quick Release? on First Vista Service Pack Due Second Half of 2007 · · Score: 1

    They're adopting the "episodic content" strategy of gaming, much like Half-Life 2 and Sam&Max.

    The next service pack will feature new user roles, "Tech Support" and "AOL user", with their own sets of skills, also you will be able to reach locations earlier not available.

  14. Re:93% of Linux users are male? on The Hidden Engineering Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    But you still wouldn't be able to discuss Linux with women without them looking weird at you.

    What a surgeon trained using Trauma Center needs is a lawyer trained using Phoenix Wright.

  16. Re:give a fish... on The Failure of the $100 Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Give a man a fish, and he'll have something to eat for one day.
    Give a man a fishing pole, and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day long.

  18. Re:One time 'zonked' tag, left out one-time costs on Nintendo Profits Up 72%, Sony's Down 94% · · Score: 1

    Of course they're not competition, even Microsoft told us to buy both consoles!

    Hmm, maybe stores will start selling bundles. Buy an XBox 360, get a Wii for free! Or not.

  19. Re:Call me a cynic... on Sam And Max Get a Price Tag · · Score: 1

    Nothing prevents you from waiting untill all episodes are released and buy them all at once.

  20. Re:There's always a way. on Untraceable Messaging Service Raises a Few Eyebrows · · Score: 3, Funny

    Obviously they're going to put the message over the goatse.cx image. No one will *want* to keep the message after reading it, if they even read it.

  21. Re:Thank You Microsoft! on Microsoft Vista User Interface Guidelines Published · · Score: 1

    I actually prefer having the uninstall links, because Add/remove programs take a long time to load the list of programs to uninstall, for whatever reasons. But I agree that I hardly ever use the readme or help file links. Or website links. Or links to "what's new" and "readme too" and "warnings" documents.

  22. Never mind the last paragraph, I RTFA now on Twilight Princess Mirrored on Wii · · Score: 1

    I guess "peer pressure" made them add sword swinging after all, even though they said it'd be too tiresome. Ah well.

  23. Re:Technology news that matters? on Twilight Princess Mirrored on Wii · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it's obvious, but if they had indeed designed the game with that in mind, they wouldn't have had to do this whole mirroring thing in the first place.

    But yeah, one would wonder how many new errors would pop up as a result of the mirroring, even though it does mean they won't need to redo all animations.

    That aside, does it really matter which hand Link uses compared to what the gamer uses? Isn't the Wiimote just used for clicking on things like with a mouse or did I totally misunderstand the preview on E3? Well, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter.

  24. Re:Bookmarks! on Choose Your Own Adventure Books Return · · Score: 1

    If you don't reread all the text pieces, it's cheating! However painful it is!

    I do remember a "time travel" series that I used to borrow from the library. Instead of dying, you just went back to the same places all the time if you made the wrong choices. I think I'd prefer dying.

    Also got one of those Mario adventures, though it turns out it had some bugs in form of broken page references. Where do you get the patch for that?

    Oh, lastly I have to mention one particular choose-your-adventure book with RPG elements. You actually roll your own stats with a dice at the startup, and then have to do battles and saving rolls at certain points in the book. I remember I kept rerolling untill I got 6 on all stats. Yes, I was an idiot back then. Don't remember the name of the book though.
