  1. Re:No weapons! on Techie Fight Clubs Springing Up · · Score: 1

    Surprisingly, the one in the orange pants got hurt the most.

  2. Re:BBMMORPGs on Mmogchart.com Updated to 20.0 · · Score: 1

    Runescape is on there, and that's java based, or were you talking more along the likes of starkingdoms?

  3. Wow on Mmogchart.com Updated to 20.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's pretty amazing that WOW has 50% of the total MMOG market share. Blizzard must be rolling in cash.

  4. Re:Where to start on Starting an Education in IT? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Perl fit in there somewhere?

  5. Re:Newsflash on Can You Survive Long Commutes? · · Score: 1

    So I guess homeless people have it all..?

  7. This is all fine and good, on New Sensor Technology Looks at Molecular 'Fingerprint' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But without any mobility of the device, this just wont work. Sure, it can detect if anything is amiss in a radius of 600 meters, but beyond that, it would be pretty expensive to implement in all major areas of the US.

    Of course, I would feel pretty good seeing one at airports.

  8. This is just great. on New Wide-Angle Telescope to Capture Night Sky · · Score: 2, Funny

    Great, So they've got a 3 Gigapixel camera. Always trying to one-up me, I see.

  11. Re:All irrelevant on Lower-Price PS3 Mostly Upgradeable · · Score: 0

    I didn't write this, I was logged on on a different computer and that person reads slashdot, disregard that.

  12. Re:All irrelevant on Lower-Price PS3 Mostly Upgradeable · · Score: 0

    Anyone can pick apart someones comment out of context.

  13. Re:Reason for over patenting ? on Controller Comparison - PlayStation 3 vs. Wii · · Score: 0

    I can see the Wiimote working ok for some of these games, but would you honestly want to use one on the latest racing game or FPS?

    This story disagrees with you there.

    You'll hold the main controller sideways, with the D pad side in your left hand and the 1 and 2 buttons over in your right. The 2 button will serve as your accelerator, while the D pad will let you trigger your turbo. You'll steer your truck by moving the controller left and right--basically, imagine that it's a steering wheel.

    And to cover the FPS point: Metroid Prime:

    The game uses the remote-plus-nunchuk configuration, where you'll want to use the remote in your dominant hand, as that is what handles aiming. Simply point the remote at the screen to aim Samus' arm cannon.

    Don't get me wrong, you wouldn't find me playing Counter-Strike on anything but my PC, but who's to say that the WASD-mouse configuration is really the best FPS configuration?

  14. Re:History Repeats Itself on Apple's Device Model Beats the PC Way · · Score: 0

    The whole "Apples are good for graphic editing and rendering" mentality is bullshit. Fanboys spew out this crap and in turn, ends up on internet sites for you uneducated peeps to absorb. My modular PC that is composed of many branded components that are deemed reliable in all my experience, can render in bryce or 3dsmax up to 3 times faster than any apple. Thanks for playing.

  15. Re:Longevity? on A 4.1 GHz Dual Core at $130? · · Score: 0

    Yeah, but then what games are you going to test it on?

  16. Re:Just What We Need on DOA Coming to the Theater Near You · · Score: 0

    I think it's just you. Mortal Kombat turned out way better than either Street Fighter or Super Mario Brothers.

  17. Re:And the last horse reaches the finish line on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 0

    Ahh... You win this time.

  18. Re:I don't blame Google for enabling typosquatting on Google Propping Up Typosquatting Biz? · · Score: 0

    The term you were looking for was "self-owned", or the more popular "cellphoned"

  19. Re:And the last horse reaches the finish line on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 0

    But what if it was a Wal-Mart?

  20. Re:And the last horse reaches the finish line on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 0

    Qii would work until you go to the game store and tell them you need to buy a key.

    They may give you a Legend of Zelda strategy guide though..

  21. Myspace success on A Grand Unified Theory of YouTube and MySpace · · Score: 3, Funny

  25. Re:If Madonna prices it, they will buy... on Music Downloads = Expensive Concerts? · · Score: 0

    GWAR totally rocked. We got sprayed with tons and tons of fake blood and green stuff. I was in the front row, and I had a white hat on. So now when people ask me why I'm wearing a pink hat, I smile and say "GWAR".
