  1. Re:hmmm on Bethesda Tells Minecraft Creator: Cease and Desist · · Score: 1

    "The Last Ninja" happens to be a classic series of games for the Commodore 64 that never stopped people from naming another game "Ninja". That System 3 would 'own' the word "Ninja" in the gaming world is patently absurd. Pun definitely intended.

  2. Re:Billable hours on Bethesda Tells Minecraft Creator: Cease and Desist · · Score: 1

    That's not really to the point.

    "Scrolls" is a just as arbitrary a word as "Arena", which very relevantly was the first of the Elder Scrolls games.

  3. In other news on Android Phones More Prone To Hardware Problems · · Score: 1

    Study shows Android phones less prone to software problems. Same study. It's all in what you want it to look like.

  4. Abuse? on Google Deprecates Translation API · · Score: 1

    You mean like the automatic translation of Android app descriptions in the Android Market (done, horribly badly, by Google)? I want my app descriptions in English, not in some horrible literal translation to a language Translate can't handle. Even worse is the translation of web pages going through up to three different translations (ie Hakku Chinese -> Mandarin -> English -> Swedish, or Nynorsk -> Bokmål -> English -> Dutch).

  5. Bad sign on Doctors To Patients: First, Do No Yelp Harm · · Score: 1

    The need to silence critics is a bad sign, I'd have left too.

  6. Re:And I thought Office 2010 was hard to use on Microsoft Shows Off Radical New UI, Could Be Used In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    I like the home screen idea used in most smartphones and mobile units today where they present snippets or the most critical information of an app in a widget. Expanding the widget would launch the full screen version of the app. I see these bubbles as this idea expanded to large screen devices. I like it, but it's up to you what you do with it. You could clutter your screen entirely or you could enlarge the most important widgets. This ofc only works if you view the screen at a glance more than if you're actually doing some work, but while working you wouldn't want to be distracted with minor notifications or irrelevant info anyway, right?

  7. Re:Lightbulb on Fun With an Induction Cooktop? · · Score: 1

    No, he didn't.

  8. Re:Yep.. on The Case For Apple Buying Facebook · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wish Palm had the money to buy Facebook, then I just might stick around just for the name.

  9. Re:My God, it's full of stars! on Milky Way Is Square(ish), According To New Map · · Score: 1

    It's probably swastika shaped.

    Swedish is pirate enough as it is. Viking pirate!

  11. Re:Ye dogs! on Swedish Pirate Party Fails To Enter Parliament · · Score: 2, Informative

    Parlamentet hade ett fällgaller av finaste järn! Svinen hällde kokande olja på mina stridskamrater! Men bågskyttarna, era förbannade bågskyttar! Luften virvlade av pilspetsar och död!

  12. Re:Sky channel on Rupert Murdoch Claims To Own the 'Sky' In 'Skype' · · Score: 1

    Ah sorry. They stopped their broadcasts where I live several years ago, I guess I jumped to conclusions as we stopped referring to them as Sky. I guess they really have a valid claim after all.

  13. Sky channel on Rupert Murdoch Claims To Own the 'Sky' In 'Skype' · · Score: 0

    BSkyB is the British Sky Broadcasting, formerly known as the Sky Channel, with the "Sky" part trademarked in television. I'd say he has a point, but noone says "Sky" anymore, especially after they started calling it BSkyB themselves. I dunno, do trademarks change or become invalid after rebrandings?

  14. Seagulls on Giant Balloons Could Solve Space Junk Problem · · Score: 1

    Why don't we domesticate seagulls and make them drag the satellites down from orbit. A couple of seagull farms should be a lot cheaper than attaching huge balloons to space junk.

  15. Re:md5? on Crack the Code In US Cyber Command's Logo · · Score: 1

    Yes I know, I was simply being brief.

  16. Prior art on Doctor Invents 'Zero Gravity' Radiation Suit · · Score: 1

    I invented the same thing back in the dark ages. I called it "rope with spring" and the patent is still pending.

  17. Re:md5? on Crack the Code In US Cyber Command's Logo · · Score: 5, Funny

    So what's the maximum length message that an MD5 number can hold?

    I regret that posting. Anyway, that letter is "L" if capitalized. (curricululm)

    Sorry, I'm not entirely sober. Please remove an "l" from my previous post.

  22. Re:What languages? on Emigrating To a Freer Country? · · Score: 0, Troll

    As a non-native english speaking person I can say that your written english is lacking somewhat for a serious curricululm vitae. At least your post is.
