  1. Re:Could've been better on 27 Playable Wii Games At E3 · · Score: 1

    4. Three words : Super Smash Bros. Where was it?

    That's six words...

  2. Re:I can imagine why it's happening on 'UK Hackers' Condemn McKinnon? · · Score: 1

    ...and there folks is Bush's only documented act of critical thinking.

  3. Re:Like 'The Sims'? on Jack Thompson Weighs in on Oblivion · · Score: 1

    Yes. I do know that. It was sarcasm.

  4. What?! on 'UK Hackers' Condemn McKinnon? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Whoa there. They aren't condemning him. They are condemning the trial. Last time I checked, those were entirely different things. He got lazy towards the end, but how lazy was the US Military to not notice it for two years?

    That really makes you think about how long someone who really has hostile intents could stay undetected.

  5. Re:What does Take 2 have to do with that? on Jack Thompson Weighs in on Oblivion · · Score: 1

    Jack Thompson, Joseph Stalin. Jack Thomspson, Benito Mussolini. Jack Thompson, bin Laden (the great evil!).

    You could probably work Thatcher in there too, if you believe she truly hated the less-well-off.

  6. I think... on Jack Thompson Weighs in on Oblivion · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think that there should be a new rating introduced. How about "TM", or maybe "T-M". It would stand for "Teen-Moddable", and underneath it it would say: "This game can be modified by the players. This means that there can be boobies and heavy sexual innuendo."

  7. Re:Let's let the users sort it out... on Microkernel: The Comeback? · · Score: 1

    And there kids is a prime example of why you should preview all your posts before you submit them.

    You might get the tags wrong.

  8. Re:Let's let the users sort it out... on Microkernel: The Comeback? · · Score: 2

    [i]Let's let the users sort it out...[/i] ...and they chose the Windows kernel.

  9. Re:Finally. on ESRB Changes Oblivion's Rating to 'Mature' · · Score: 1

    My character that was going thru the DB got deleted accidently.

    So I'm going thru it again with my main character, and he's at the Whodunnit? Quest (the mansion party one). Previously, the other character was at the kill the Draconis family quest, trying to figure out how to kill them all w/ no penalty ;)

    I finally figured it out, but learned I had deleted that guy. Whoops.

  10. Re:The difference... on ESRB Changes Oblivion's Rating to 'Mature' · · Score: 1

    Linguistic differences aside, from my experience, I see that Teen is what parents think the limit is when it comes to games.

    I don't know a single parent around me that won't let their kid (8-10 years old) play Teen games. Where I live, games that are M are played by teens, and games that are T are played by teens and kids who are younger than that.

  11. Re:Finally. on ESRB Changes Oblivion's Rating to 'Mature' · · Score: 1

    When I talk, I interchange 'teen' and 'little kid' freely.

  12. Finally. on ESRB Changes Oblivion's Rating to 'Mature' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I love the game, but there is no way it should ever have been Teen. The necromancer and vampire lairs can be very graphic (If you've seen Memorial Cave, you know what I'm talking about.), way too graphic for a little kid. Decomposing bodies with a noose around their neck hanging from the ceiling? And a 'kicked out' chair underneath them? More decomposed bodies stuck to the wall with spears (Incidently, the only spears in the game, other than the skulls.)

    Way too graphic.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go buy one of the last 'T'-labeled games, and sell it for a profit later on.

  13. Re:Firefox has the wrong focus on Places Feature Cut From Firefox 2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well there goes your Karma.

  14. Errr... on Why is Kingdom Hearts II So Popular? · · Score: 1

    I have no urge whatsoever to play it.

  15. Re:Mob Justice on Spam King to Sing For Feds? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or they could throw him into a cell with Bruno, you got quite a few 'member enlargement' packages that "REALLY WORKED!"

    Bruno could show him just how well they worked... ;)

  16. Re:Dumb. on Australians to Get Compulsory Photo ID Smartcard · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that Australia does have a reasonable health & welfare system, so thats a big carrot (stick?) to wave. But it's still not compulsory.

    Don't wave a carrot around. The bunnies might return and we all know how that went the first time.

    Jokes aside, if they considered it due to the London bombings, which were focused around transportation, then they will most likely add "transportation" to that list of needed systems.

  17. Re:Release dates mean nothing on Oblivion Headed to PSP & PS3 · · Score: 1

    You forget one slight thing...Oblivion wasn't done back then.

    And now it is complete.

  18. Lessons from Biology eh? on The Biology of Network Security · · Score: 1

    How about this lesson from biology: animals need to reproduce.

    So the solution to stop having crackers breaking in to things?

    Mandatory sexy girls for all geeks!

  19. Re:Poker on French Town Tests Cashless Society · · Score: 1

    If you want to replace poker with Strip Poker, and continue playing with your old buds, go ahead.

    I on the other hand...

  20. Re:So the new RE game will play like an RE game? on E3 Previews for Capcom, Activision · · Score: 1

    I hear FIFA '07 is actually a soccer game.

  21. Re:Government Rootkit on DARPA Funded Startup to 'Bird-Dog' Rootkits · · Score: 1

    I tried, but then the police came knocking at my door and told me that thoughts like that helped the terrorists win. If I used a non-DARPA approved PCI card, then I could steal IP and help fund al-Qaeda.

  22. Re:Ubuntuspire... on Linspire Announces Freespire Distribution · · Score: 1

    And the sad thing is, geeks still won't get laid.

  23. Re:What really raises my blood pressure: on Leaving Early May Cost You Time · · Score: 1

    Want to know what raises my blood?

    People who start sentences with the numerical form of numbers.

  24. Re:Failed Generation on Viiv Falls Flat · · Score: 1

    Unless you meant something other than Xbox Live when you said 'networked game consoles', last time I checked, Xbox Live was doing fairly well. Even Sony is copying that kind of system.

  25. Re:Not really security on N.Y. County Mandates Wireless Security · · Score: 1

    Because if people start to have secure networks, that means that people can't get online for free, and then they have to start paying companies.
