  1. Re:Makes perfect sense... on Audio Processing on Your Graphics Card? · · Score: 3, Funny

    So... what are you trying to say, precisely?

  2. Re:Give a mouse a laser... on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 5, Funny

    INFORMATIVE!?

  3. Re:consoles and freeware on In-Game Advertising Breaks Out · · Score: 1

    I'm not quite sure I understand your post. I know Reese's pieces was the candy in ET, but it's not a big issue that M&M passed it up because it's still the top seller with respect to reese's pieces.
    Unless there was something I missed.

  4. Re:Shocking on Distributed Proofreaders Posts 5,000th E-book · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Some of those are legit too. Professional/Professor reading gets shortened to profreading. The other mistakes are mostly users.

  5. Re:consoles and freeware on In-Game Advertising Breaks Out · · Score: 1

    I'm not quite sure that's such a big issue. M&M still dominates over Reese's Pieces, and always has.

    4 years, 3 months, and a few days. Except Jeremiah Candon of Triston, Utah. He hates Petabyte clusters.

  7. Re:PC run amok on Defending The Skies Against Congress And The Elderly · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But according to your post, we'd have let Mcveigh through security because he's white. See the logic error?

  8. Re:so what.. on Duke University Students Receive iPods · · Score: 1

    You could be. If I donate money and say "buy the kids MP3 players" then they can't really spend it on anything else. It's all a matter of what the donor wants.

  9. Re:Still lacks most important feature: useful alar on Mozilla Releases Mozilla Sunbird 0.2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well of course the window has to be open. Unless you wrote a small little plugin that checks sunbird for alarms to notify you of, that's really a nonissue. I mean seriously, do you expect a closed program to give you messages? That doesn't make any sense at all.

    But it's similar to those programs that check gmail for you. A small little system tray app that periodically checks gmail and notifies you of new emails. Simple. I'm sure it wouldn't be too complex to have Sunbird (I'm lovin that btw) communicate with a ~700kb program or something. Of course, IANAP.

  10. Re:The Winner on DS vs PSP - Developers, Press Sound Off · · Score: 1

    That would imply that Yu Gi Oh is worth solid gold... it isn't.

  11. ATITD on A Tale in the Desert II Goes Open Beta · · Score: 1

    The title shortens to "a titty"? That is simply amazing!

  12. Re:Age old question answered! on A One-Handed Keyboard For $25 · · Score: 1

    Same as someone with the clapper turning their lights on and off and on and off and on...

  13. Re:Wow! on PS3 To Use Blu-Ray Technology · · Score: 1

    Hehehe, nutscrape navigator.

  14. Re:I hope the games are short. on 'PalmPSOne' Takes PlayStation Into Handheld Domain · · Score: 1

    Not really. He's trying to sell them.

  15. Re:Deprived Fans.. on Dragon's Lair - A Forbidden Love Affair? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but in platformers there's almost endless ways of beating a level. Run then stop? Walk? Your call. In DL however you have one course of action. Or two or however many memorized sequences allow you to complete the game.

  16. Application on Net Addiction Gets Finnish Soldiers Out Of Army · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hm..where can I apply for disability...

    Why, online of course.

  17. Gotta be... on On The Most Boring Videogames Of All Time · · Score: 1

    Xenosaga. My god, I've never been so bored during a game before. It was almost a chore to get through it. Luckily I cut my losses and sold it.

    Which you can use to find bandwidth intensive sites. Come on, he/she asked for a few needles, and you give him a gigantic haystack.

  20. Re:SUV on Batman Begins Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    That piece of crap was in a racing game years and years ago called Stunts. I remember it well because I'd set up tracks where I could build up the highest speed and then crush the cars on a wall.

  21. Re:This won't last for long on Segway Revolutionizes Polo · · Score: 2, Funny

    But then again, how far can you drive a ball with a segway? Wouldn't standard clubs work better?

  22. This is no laughing matter. on BSD Jails, a Better Virtual Server? · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...Host Intrusion Protection (HIP) Research Group...

    Research is not supposed to be "hip". It is a very somber and serious process. I think it's shameful how these researchers would rather run the streets with their "rad crew" than commit to serious discovery. For shame.

    You're only looking at the small picture

    So was the driver.
    Sorry about that.

  24. Re:What happened... on Canadian Music Industry Drills Dentists · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Then maybe it's time to consider another career. Just because someone does a job doesn't mean they have to be paid well for it, if at all. I'm tired of artists complaining about not making enough money. They could go out and train to become a music teacher or a sound engineer or something else that applies to their trade, but for the love of god stop saying that we "owe" you something.

  25. Re:That's about the right size... on World's Tiniest Vertebrate Found · · Score: 1

    No, but if it's related to the Babel fish its translation abilities are limited.
