  1. Nothing could go wrong... on Assassin's Creed Slated for November Release · · Score: 1

    Nothing possibly could go wrong with a game where you're a Muslim assassin killing the leaders of the Holy Crusades!

  3. Re:Not just kids ... talk to my wife on Texting Teens Generating OMG Phone Bills · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you were honestly thinking about divorce over a paltry sum of $200, you really might wanna go over why you married in the first place. :)

    How about this. We attach UZIs to every computer sold. If this URL isn't "green" and the user clicks on it, the UZI will shoot. A lot. And hopefully take out the user. The phishing scam didn't work and the stupid user is dead!

    Darwin would love it!

  5. Re:It has some heroes... on Blizzard Announces StarCraft 2 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Seems more of a "Super Unit" than a Hero. Kind of like the Mothership in C&C3 on the Scrin side.

  6. Re:Expirey? on Microsoft's SUSE Coupons Have No Expiry Date · · Score: 1

    Maybe a misspelling of "expiry"?

    Main Entry: expiry
    Noun
    : EXPIRATION: as a : exhalation of breath b : DEATH c : TERMINATION; especially : the termination of a time or period fixed by law, contract, or agreement

  7. Re:So this case has nothing to do with nudity? on Google Wins Nude Thumbnail Legal Battle · · Score: 1

    Because it's not every day that one can combine porn and copyright issues.

  8. Re:Some notes on MIT Hacks XKCD Talk With AACS key · · Score: 1

    The line that said: "Page 2 out of 2" and had the arrows on it didn't make it clear that it was the second page?

  9. Re:Why spend the time and resources on this? on Google Reader - Now for Wii! · · Score: 1

    One word: Friends. Ever invited some friends over to play Counter-Strike with ya? Ever invited 4 friends over to play C&C3?

    Now, have you ever invited some friends over to play Wii Sports? Halo 2?

    You know, since "Please cease and desist immediately" was the last thing in your post, it's kinda hard not to follow those orders.

    It's a lot easier to grow attached to something that'll save your life, instead of something that could take your life away.

  15. Re:NetHack on What is Your Desert Island Game? · · Score: 1

    Spoilers or no spoilers?

    You might die (in real life that is) before you can ascend with no spoilers!

  16. Re:even if it were true - Re:Just goes to show.. on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    What makes the Sterling, Euro, and Yen better? I don't see anything in your post that says why. You just say the Dollar isn't a good investment choice...and...well...that's about it.

  17. Re:Ted Stevens was way off on A Succinct Definition of the Internet? · · Score: 1

    So, you hop in one pipe, and get taken to another place. Sometimes this other place will make you lots of coin. Sometimes you'll see some mindboggling things. Sometimes you'll have to jump on some trolls to knock them down. There's only one female...

    That sounds...familiar.

    I live in Madison and I didn't heard anything about this.

  21. Re:Unbiased observer? on Microsoft Takes On the OLPC · · Score: 1

    Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. I am saying that someone who concludes there is a conclusion is no longer unbiased.

    Is that really wrong?

    A judge isn't an observer. They directly interact with what's going on before them, so that doesn't work.

  22. Re:Unbiased observer? on Microsoft Takes On the OLPC · · Score: 1

    The stated goal is to help the children of the world out with technology.

    Now, if this agenda that the poster suggests is true, then the true goal is other than that stated. As such, it'd be a plan executed and planned in secret. Thus, it'd be a conspiracy.

    Microsoft sure has an agenda of slowing things fueled by/supporting open source. See SCO vs IBM.

    True. Microsoft conspired with SCO to slow down open source. I'm not sure how having an agenda and conspiring is different in this case.

    Not only that, but Bill Gates spent awhile trying to talk the guy organizing OLPC into using Microsoft, so he is probably frustrated that he failed.

    So he's conspiring to get back at the guy organizing OLPC?

  23. Re:Unbiased observer? on Microsoft Takes On the OLPC · · Score: 1

    You are correct about the denotation of the sentence, however the connotation is clear. It's just a weasel-sentence to appear unbiased, yet get a point across.

    I thought about bringing up that point about "no one is truly unbiased", but that kinda makes the whole thing moot, doesn't it?

    And yes, a truly unbiased person would consider the motivations of MS. But why would this truly unbiased individual only see that they wanted to slow down the OLPC (which is the only thing the sentence brings up)? Why wouldn't they see it as Microsoft wanting to help the children out? Yet the sentence, and I repeat, only brings up the "conspiracy" aspect of this.

  24. Unbiased observer? on Microsoft Takes On the OLPC · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't understand how this "observer" would be unbiased. If he sees a grand conspiracy, he's not unbiased.

    Why stop there?

    They could be sending credit card numbers, or SSNs, or your personal files, or your porn, or even every single piece of data on your computer!
