  1. hey, nice check! on X-prize Award paid · · Score: 5, Funny

    Was it one of those big checks? I always wondered how you're supposed to get them in the tiny deposit envelopes.

  2. Collapse the System In On Itself. on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 0

    On your ballot, choose to write-in a candidate and write your own name down. If everyone who voted did this, then the nation would have to realign its democratic system. And all of the politicans would be wetting their pants. :)

  3. Perhaps some new games will come out for it? on Sinclair And Clones Computer Show · · Score: 0

    Maybe ID will release Doom3 for the Spectrum? What about Halflife 2? And here's hoping for UT2K4..... Sp3ctrUm PwnS j00r 4MD!!!

  4. All Copyright laws are not created equal. on Bootlegged Music in Russia · · Score: 1, Insightful

    In fact, societal perceptions of copyright vary greatly. If it's difficult enough convincing people in 'rich' countries with disposable income that copyrights must be adhered to, imagine going to a less-than-rich country and preaching the same thing. Even if the people who use pirated software or music wanted to be legal, often they can't afford to.

    A lot of countries have no concept of copyright to begin with. The battle to standardize intellectual property laws across the world will be very, very long.

  5. And so Began the Evil Rise of a new Global Enemy.. on Transistor Radio Turns 50 · · Score: -1

    The RIAA ofcourse.

  6. Darned Imitation Viagra! on U.S. Declares War on Intellectual Property Theft · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can't tell you how many.... problems... I've had with my imitation Viagra. Luckily, my imitation woman is still holding up pretty good.

  7. Fox News? on William Shatner to Star in New Reality TV Series · · Score: 0

    Fox News is reality TV at its worst.

  8. You Want Old School? on Anatomy of a LAN Party? · · Score: 0

    Get two XTs and hook them up via null modem and play Fire Power together - old school man!!

  9. Re:no RIAA artists on The Perfect Online Music Store? · · Score: 0

    Yeah, a site that adheres strictly to the RIAA Radar's listings.

  10. A Large battery size is important. on Nuclear Batteries · · Score: 0

    People already lose their tiny cellphones too often. I say we make batteries even bigger so I don't lose my damn gadget down the crack of a bus seat. Maybe we can switch to car sized lead-acid batteries for cellphones?

  11. It was Serbia who sent the Troops.... on Europeans To Monitor American Voters · · Score: 0

    http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:oyqydctb8woJ:on ion.com/onion3641/serbia_deploys_forces.html+&hl=e n SERBAI DEPLOYS PEACEKEEPING FORCES TO THE US BELGRADESerbian president Vojislav Kostunica deployed more than 30,000 peacekeeping troops to the U.S. Monday, pledging full support to the troubled North American nation as it struggles to establish democracy. Above: Serbian peacekeeping troops patrol Washington, D.C. "We must do all we can to support free elections in America and allow democracy to gain a foothold there," Kostunica said. "The U.S. is a major player in the Western Hemisphere and its continued stability is vital to Serbian interests in that region." Kostunica urged Al Gore, the U.S. opposition-party leader who is refusing to recognize the nation's Nov. 7 election results, to "let the democratic process take its course." Special Report "Mr. Gore needs to acknowledge the will of the people and concede that he has lost this election," Kostunica said. "Until America's political figures learn to respect the institutions that have been put in place, the nation will never be a true democracy." Serbian forces have been stationed throughout the U.S., with an emphasis on certain trouble zones. Among them are Oregon, Florida, and eastern Tennessee, where Gore set up headquarters in Bush territory. An additional 10,000 troops are expected to arrive in the capital city of Washington, D.C. by Friday. Though Kostunica has pledged to work with U.S. leaders, he did not rule out the possibility of economic sanctions if the crisis is not resolved soon. "For democracy to take root and flourish, it must be planted in the rich soil of liberty. And the cornerstone of liberty is elections free of tampering or corruption," Kostunica said. "Should America prove itself incapable of learning this lesson on its own, the international community may be forced to take stronger measures."

  12. It's tough to make virtual porn on Animated Short - This Wonderful Life · · Score: 1, Funny

    Since most animators need to act out their parts to figure out how to capture the motion best, and any uber-obsessed render geek just ain't gonna get laid enough to make the motions look realistic. And if you're going to do mocap, then, you might as well just film the mocap and skip the rendering, eh?

  13. Oops on Mechanical Pong · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I think I'm wrong. It is German. Sorry, I'm drunk. It is almost Oktoberfest time, you know....

  14. That ain't German on Mechanical Pong · · Score: -1

    It's Dutch. Or Danish. One of those.

    Like, into the dustbin of history in record time?

  17. I've run my computer off a hamster for years. on Hamster-Powered Night Light · · Score: 0

    In fact I swear my old 286 box died because I forgot to feed the poor power supply. :/

  18. Serves 'em right on Best Buy Sued By Ohio · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I never buy from Best Buy anyways... of course, I live in Canada.
