  1. Re:It's You. on Time Magazine Person of the Year — It's You · · Score: 5, Funny

    GREAT! After learning I beat all you sods to become Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

    Suckers.

  2. Re:Pastel-states?? on China Readies Royalty-Free DVD Format · · Score: 1

    It should be noted, that they all are distinctly separate entities.

  3. Re:Another right bites the dust on White House Clamps Down On USGS Publishing · · Score: 1

    Because that requires actual work.

  4. Re:What is this!? on White House Clamps Down On USGS Publishing · · Score: 1

    Hasn't seemed to stop them for the past 6 years.

  5. Re:I call FUD on Blue Dragon Outsells Zelda in Japan At Launch · · Score: 1

    It's not so much FUD as it is "Holy crap, hell must have frozen over"

  6. Re:Spot of good news for MS on Blue Dragon Outsells Zelda in Japan At Launch · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why would the Japanese buy a 360 out of frustration? They aren't exactly known to love microsoft's consoles, so I highly doubt that people would've bought one for those reasons. It's been said constantly that the guy who worked on the game has a huge following in Japan, so those sales increases might just happen to be because there's a game, on Microsoft's Xbox360, that the Japanese want.

  7. Re:kdawson vs Zonk on Arctic Ice May Melt By 2040 · · Score: 1

    Yes.

  8. I wonder... on Many New Species Found Under Antarctica · · Score: 1

    how tasty they are.

  9. Re:"Way behind"? on Vista the End of An Era? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Google is on level 11 of the Internet. Microsoft is still stuck on the boss of level 3.

  10. Re:I've allways wondered about this ... on Second Amendment Questioned · · Score: 1

    I've seen it before.

  11. Re:Euh on German Minister Seeks Jail Time For FPS Players · · Score: 1

    I have never read Breakfast of Champions. But seeing as how right now I'm looking at Slaughterhouse Five in my hands, and I'm reading "Poo-tee-weet" on the last page of the book (as well as the last page of the first chapter), I'd think it's in Slaughterhouse Five.

  12. Re:Euh on German Minister Seeks Jail Time For FPS Players · · Score: 1

    It's Slaughterhouse Five, not R2-D2.

  13. Re:Euh on German Minister Seeks Jail Time For FPS Players · · Score: 1

    You could almost say "poo-tee-weet?"

  14. Re:It's time to stop the lawsuits on Sony, Nintendo Announce 'Fixes' For Their Consoles · · Score: 1

    Sterilization?

  16. Re:Give thanks to Starr on Clinton Prosecutor Now Targeting Free Speech · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The President is not above the law. Nor is he below it. If they both agreed to it, it's consensual. I'm not sure where you're from, but in the US consensual sex does not make someone a sexual predator.

    Yes, he lied about getting a blowjob in court. Yes he deserved to be reprimanded for he lies. And he was.

    Why should these wounds be reopened? Because our current president lied to us and due to it hundreds of thousands of people have died.

    Granted, he didn't lie under oath. But I think (rather, I sincerely hope) that everybody would agree that a single human life is far more important than a single instance of lying under oath.

  17. Re:Wow on Windows Live and Privacy · · Score: 1

    That's true I suppose. But the buildings have a strong chance of still being there (that is, I'm sure there's a higher chance of a business closing than the building being demolished), and there would most likely be other buildings or distinguishable features around.

    Sure, they'd have to update it every two years or so, but they have the money for that.

  18. Re:Wow on Windows Live and Privacy · · Score: 1

    I would use it. Some of us are really bad with directions and being able to see where you turn (what stores are around and what not) at any given point would be extremely useful to us.

    I'm quite excited to see how this pans out.

    Or burn it all down.

  20. Re:You break it you buy it. on Iraq Study Group Reaches Concensus · · Score: 1

    Bush and his Allies went into Iraq, without any proof.

    I say we send him over and have him fix it with his own hands.

  22. Re:Do very little evil? on Gaia Project Agrees To Google Cease and Desist · · Score: 1

    Substitute the word Google in this story with Microsoft, send it to the /. editors, and then see just how evil this really is.

    It'd be quite funny to see too.

  23. Re:WTF? on YouTube Stays Relevant Despite Pulled Content · · Score: 1

    If I was throwing hard missiles at someone, and they had a gun, I would expect to be shot at. I attacked them first.

    Since you want to bring the law in, remember that it's also illegal to incite violence, even if you don't take part in it yourself. That's why it's illegal to hire a hitman. So by constantly insulting my mother, you are trying to incite violence.

    Praise for the kids for provoking a teacher?

    That seems backwards to me.

    That's funny. I didn't even mean the 'eh eh' to make fun of the Canadians.
