  1. Oh god oh god... on CUTEST WEB SITE EVER DISCOVERED!!! · · Score: 1

    I think I'm going to blow up at any second with all of these stories.. AND PINK! PINK OF ALL COLOURS! MY EYES!!

  2. Re:Gameplay? on In Defense of FFXII · · Score: 1
    VI had a ton of options for each character and several really tough boss fights

    Tough boss fights? Give me a break. Perhaps they might have been slightly annoying before the world of ruin, but afterwards, once you get every character past level 40 and do all the extra side quests to get the rest of the good gear and spells, you can pretty much stomp over all enemies in the game. Overall, I found this Final Fantasy to be one of the easier ones.

    It's still a great game though!

  3. Re:Ethnocentrism on What Would We Lose From a Regionalized Internet? · · Score: 1

    Agreed. This post really just got me reminded me of a hark back to the 'good ol' isolationist attitude of the U.S. before the 1950's.

    Ugh, what a retarded question that is indeed.

  4. Re:Ooh really funny. on 42 *IS* The answer to Life, the Universe and Zeta · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Just look at the first page of the article a week or so ago about the Mars Rover losing one of its wheels. It's essentially just littered with Monty Python jokes.

    But, I can't really say much, since I did contribute to that (I couldn't resist. :P)

  5. Re:Bad thing? I think not on Dismantling the Myth of IT Being a Dead-End Career · · Score: 1

    I absolutely agree with your post. Computer Science != Programming. However, it looks like the moron that modded you as flamebait thought otherwise.

  6. Re:C'mon ya pansy on Mars Rover Spirit Down a Wheel · · Score: 2, Funny

    *Rushes in* No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

  7. Re:Prior art? on Microsoft's Online Spectator Patent · · Score: 1

    Myth: The Fallen Lords had this feature built in since it was released in 1995.

  8. Re:Danes everywhere... on Peter Naur Wins 2005 Turing Award · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about Djikstra!

  9. Re:Datalogy on Peter Naur Wins 2005 Turing Award · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's most likely for that reason Djikstra preferred the term "Computing Science" himself.

  10. Re:Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal? on Quantum Telecloning Demonstrated? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh that's nothing. You should hear about my visit to Hilbert's Grand Hotel...

  11. Re:The Simpsons predicted it on The Politically Incorrect Science Fair · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How the hell is this off-topics mods?

  12. Re:Higher education actually helps gaming on Videogaming Keeps the Brain From Aging · · Score: 1

    Width searching in a graph? I've never heard of that kind of algorithm before. Do you breadth first search? Since you mentioned Depth first search, I figured that would be the other matching graph traversal algoritm to go with it.

  13. Re:"Boss Button" should be required for every game on Fired for Solitare At Work · · Score: 1

    In Windows XP at least, you could windows+d. Works just as well.

  14. Heh on Fired for Solitare At Work · · Score: 1

    "The firings will continue until employee morale improves."

  15. Re:Try making change... on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a scene from the Simpsons.

    Krabappel: Alright class. Who's calculator can tell me what six times seven is.
    *Class punches numbers into their calculators*
    Millhouse: Oooh, Oooh.. Low battery error?
    Krabappel: *Sighs* Whatever.

    Edit: Blah, wrong formatting.

    Ah, and then there's the ever so popular "elderberry".

  18. Re:dreamcast was "failed" only for non-owners on XBOX 360=Dreamcast 2.0? · · Score: 1

    Agreed on the games it had. Jetset Radio (Well, Jetgrind Radio as it was released in North America) was a real great game in its own right. Ah, memories...

  19. Re:My two cents on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    The name issue only makes sense, since I got annoyed at seeing names for characters like 'asdfghkl;' or 'asdfasdfasdf' and such.

  20. Re:Speaking of Ballmer on Geeky Gadgets for Halloween Parties? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, you should also maybe have another option where he either does the monkey dance, or screams "Developers, developers, developers!".. Or a combination of the two. That could give a couple people a shock.. and a laugh at the same time!

  21. Re:What else can CS give us? on Bill Gates Is Coming To A College Near You · · Score: 1

    Maths is a short form used in the common-wealth english area for Mathematics, actually.

  22. Re:Not just physicists or engineers use trig.... on Trigonometry Redefined without Sines And Cosines · · Score: 1

    In commonwealth english, it's usually abbreviated as maths.

  23. Re:I almost agree with you. on Blizzard/Vivendi 2, bnetd 0 · · Score: 1

    You bought a *license* to the software, not a copy of the software. If you do not agree to the EULA, return it.

    And there's the catch: Most stores won't allow you to return opened software. What are you supposed to do with it then?

  24. Re:haha memories on Rumour Control on the Revolution Controller · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hehe, yes, memories indeed. That also reminds me of other little quirks that me and some friends would do while playing some of the games, such as raising the controller as the character was jumping, as if to give him some assistance with his grand leap, or smashing the buttons harder (more out of anger really) in order to make that punch/fireball/etc. more painful.

  25. Re:Correlation on How Can Tech Help Fight Education Costs? · · Score: 1

    Hear hear. I had the same experience as well from my first year university level math courses, where you actually see how to think mathematically, and thus gain a true appreciation for what it is about.

    The same goes with the Computer Science courses, which is something far more than mere programming. I'm currently working for a degree in Math myself at the moment, and am enjoying it a lot.

    Those are among the several reasons I'm so glad I don't have to put up with high school anymore.
